Baronash posted:This seems oddly confident when the all-but-stated goal of the majority party is to cut taxes on corporations and the rich, increase defense spending, and eliminate excellent programs that benefit the common good and barely cost anything. I think they've made it pretty clear that they're fine maxing out the credit card as long as they benefit. Borrowing money is raising capital you're making my point. MAKE MONEY LIKE MAKE IT. you can make it like print it or you can extract it through a tax. Either way they'll make the money one way or another. Also I'm talking from fed to local municipality not just the fed

Josh Lyman posted:Actually corporations are the biggest users of what America provides including infrastructure, defense, and social safety nets so they definitely should be contributing to funding all that. There are many ways to make a corporation pay taxes without directly taxing the corporation is what I'm saying. Direct taxes against the corporation are perverse and unfair to many corportations. A perfect example is that ok average utilities companies pay 10% effective tax rate while retail pays a lol most 30% that is broken. Vat tax would fix that poo poo in a heartbeat oohhboy posted:I don't think the Feds would take kindly to anybody else printing The Dollar. Also not matter what country or who you are you cannot just print money or borrow forever, reality will ensure. America's love of digging it's own grave isn't funny anymore and the only saving grace is China's economy is another level of horror. While the UK was a true empire they ran a gdp to debt ratio of over 200% and they were a ok from it if not flourishing. Taking it a zero % loan is great Veskit fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Apr 20, 2018 |

The Cheshire Cat posted:Do the names "Democrat" and "Republican" even have anything to do with democracy vs. republicanism? Like I'm pretty sure it has never been part of the Democratic agenda to convert the country to a purer direct democracy. The first party was the Democratic-Republican party and then it split

MegaZeroX posted:To the people in this thread, if you aren't a socialist, then you are a centrist. Yes, it merges center left, centrist, and center right into one pointless label, and is really diverged from any political reality, but it is one of they key tools to radicalize the center left. What in the gently caress is going on. The only centrist here should really be russell crowe's appearance as it was the center of attention in the episode. Also you're a bit nutty and this sounds like a super crazy c-spam hottake

oohhboy posted:There are economies like Japan that have so much debt it has stagnated. There we go talking about monetary policy in a thread dedicated to a show that gifted a city a giant choochoo train set, while still not fundamentally understanding core concepts like Japan's economic issues aren't related to it's debt building monetary policy.

God drat that's a rarity hot take if ive ever seen one. If what you're discussing could be copy and pasted into a different thread then yeah probably doesn't belong here. If it's relat d to the show then keep it. I dunno how anyone can make the argument that this is a general politics thread.
