usually in modern language, when they say "We need more democracy" they are usually talking about giving more voice for the people

2019-09-06 01:44:02 UTC  

which I'm fine - of course, it depends on context, eg. how they go about it

2019-09-06 01:44:17 UTC  

I'd say we need more Republic.

2019-09-06 01:44:29 UTC  

more stasis?

2019-09-06 01:44:37 UTC  

more resistance to change?

2019-09-06 01:44:40 UTC  

how about lowering the govt budget

2019-09-06 01:44:41 UTC  

lol

2019-09-06 01:44:56 UTC  

a high govt budget is not capitalism btw

2019-09-06 01:45:00 UTC  

i dunno where you got that idea

2019-09-06 01:46:09 UTC  

No I don't agree with the Fedral system and the Federal Reserve killing the Republic and proper Competitive Free Enterprise.

2019-09-06 01:46:59 UTC  

by raising inflation

2019-09-06 01:47:02 UTC  

The Federal Reserve is a cancer on the American Republic.

2019-09-06 01:47:03 UTC  

and undermining savings

2019-09-06 01:47:27 UTC  

well the federal reserve sort of controls the treasury, which the govt needs

2019-09-06 01:47:38 UTC  

the problem is the govt is spending so much money that they take loans from the FR

2019-09-06 01:47:44 UTC  

because, allegedly, no one else will loan to them

2019-09-06 01:47:51 UTC  

they can't service the debt

2019-09-06 01:47:54 UTC  

is the reason

2019-09-06 01:47:55 UTC  

supposedly

2019-09-06 01:48:34 UTC  

@What Would Jack Conte Do? ` "no one else will loan to them" ` is that true

2019-09-06 01:48:41 UTC  

No

2019-09-06 01:48:43 UTC  

I'll show you the video

2019-09-06 01:49:02 UTC  

Whenever you buy government bonds you're loaning money to the government

2019-09-06 01:49:07 UTC  

i know

2019-09-06 01:49:17 UTC  

but im guessing not enough people are buying

2019-09-06 01:49:33 UTC  

so the govt is like "Oh shit, we need more money, because there's no way we could possibly lower the budget"

2019-09-06 01:49:50 UTC  

Trump needs to tell people to buy govt bonds then.

2019-09-06 01:49:54 UTC  

lol

2019-09-06 01:49:56 UTC  

Kek

2019-09-06 01:50:00 UTC  

do his whole salesman thing

2019-09-06 01:50:18 UTC  

i think it'd be better if he just bit the bullet and lowered the budget

2019-09-06 01:50:28 UTC  

i mean, he's already taking a lot of flak anyway

2019-09-06 01:50:30 UTC  

so what harm could it do

2019-09-06 01:51:39 UTC  

I worry what a reduction in the budget could do to govt services though.

2019-09-06 01:52:04 UTC  

austerity ☣

2019-09-06 01:52:11 UTC  

absolute disaster

2019-09-06 01:52:17 UTC  

babies exploding

2019-09-06 01:52:20 UTC  

guts everywhere

2019-09-06 01:52:23 UTC  

I mean I'd like it if they could make a healthcare system that works.

2019-09-06 01:52:37 UTC
