That's why we have taxes
One main function of taxes is to regulate our spending power
But regardless, if you mean "devaluing" as in inflation, then I think its a bit exaggerated
by what means
It's poorly understood is what I meant to say. Inflation isn't always caused by government spending
I would say unemployment is a way bigger problem tbh
well yeah, obviously the government isn't printing 3 trillion notes per year
it's velocity of spending
Right
I would agree with that; It would certainly cause an inflationary crises if we all just went and funded free college, medicaid, etc. in one night
The issue is that the US dollar is like a sort of lingua franca of currency for foreign investors, I don't think a lot of them would continue to use it if it were to be tampered with too much
Also, the issue of what people do with their savings
In general the government should be held responsible to avoid any price inflation when competing for scarce resources, but at the same time make sure we have decent living standards and full employment
100%
I think we ought to economically make it manageable for a family to have enough money to meet the standard of living of 4 people from one source of income
I think one parent should be responsible for child-rearing, the other at work
The issue of families raising their kids with entertainment is partially what's causing all this social degredation (at least from my view and most of the right)
There are constraints that we should be worried about; inflation and resources are two of them. But whether or not we can pay for it is not one of them
What you guys talking about
economics
When are we starting another Red Wave Thread On pol
IE the problem with social security isn't whether or not we will run out of money, but it is if there are enough labor output and resources for everyone on social security to buy what they want without any scarcity. This is why full employment is essential
not just that, but families who can sustain themselves need to start having children
I can never buy the idea that immigrants will pay for social programs, it's the most ridiculous and stupid idea I've ever heard
I think they tried that in Sweden and then they had to INCREASE the retirement age
plus it completely fucks with social trust
I don't think we've got your opinion on the immigration and nationalism question, what are your thoughts on social issues.
@Rhodesiaboo DJ Trump in NYC usually handles that
Not as well versed on social issues as I am on other issues, but I'm socially liberal.
as libertarian kind of liberal
progressive kind of liberal i guess
that's fair enough, so people should be able to do what they want is your basic outline?
what are your thoughts toward nationalism
I don't mind people taking pride of their country, but when it just outright distracts people from issues facing the country then I would have to be against that.
I mean in relation to globalism
What do you mean globalism
would, in your opinion, people benefit from the united states looking over its interests or for people to go where they want
it's hard to explain really
Do you think that the US citizen's interests significantly matter more than the interests of the general person on earth, that's a better way to phrase it
Oh yeah.
