"Pro-cyclical negative attitude "

2019-01-13 17:41:37 UTC  

?

2019-01-13 17:41:55 UTC  

Visitor it wasn't consumer goods

2019-01-13 17:42:02 UTC  

All of it was the millitary grade goods

2019-01-13 17:42:10 UTC  

Which was not increasing the standard of living

2019-01-13 17:42:56 UTC  

it's hard to prove that, I don't think there's sources about "increase in razor blade production during the 30-40s"

2019-01-13 17:43:15 UTC  

but there's plenty of ones about increase in military production

2019-01-13 17:43:20 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-13 17:43:23 UTC  

and we also had a bust

2019-01-13 17:43:47 UTC  

The bust was from the withdrawal of stimulus, since spending is included on gdp

2019-01-13 17:44:01 UTC  

The bust was due to malinvestment

2019-01-13 17:44:05 UTC  

due to the expansion of credit

2019-01-13 17:44:12 UTC  

It's like every single one

2019-01-13 17:44:38 UTC  

However if you were true, it would completely disprove Keynesian economics

2019-01-13 17:44:58 UTC  

Since if a stimulus is needed to keep the economy going, it means the government will go into debts, it's not economically sustainable

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ where’s my Reagan 😡

2019-01-14 16:05:33 UTC  

Being remembered as the demigod of Anglo-American conservatism and not as the gun-grabbing nannyist illegal-loving cuckaduck he was

2019-01-14 16:13:22 UTC  

Oh I didn’t know any of that

2019-01-14 16:13:40 UTC  

I jew knew that he did his best to make the US free market

2019-01-14 16:13:46 UTC  

As free as possible*

2019-01-14 16:20:15 UTC  

Trickle down economics is not *watertight* 😉 but yes everyone's wages rose in the 80's

2019-01-14 16:20:45 UTC  

I mean it works better than the government giving people money

2019-01-14 16:21:51 UTC  

And Reagan wasn't malicious really

2019-01-14 16:22:16 UTC  

With foreign policy, he was forced into a bad place, fooled by the neocons of the Project for a New American Century, who of course were mostly Jews

2019-01-14 16:22:33 UTC  

But domestically we still had some problems

2019-01-14 16:23:52 UTC  

I mean the contra thing also wasn’t fantastic

2019-01-14 16:24:45 UTC  

was it Reagan who had the “Star Wars” dream

2019-01-14 16:24:49 UTC  

Or was that carter

2019-01-14 16:24:49 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-14 16:24:55 UTC  

Reagan, I believe

2019-01-14 16:24:58 UTC  

Damn

2019-01-14 16:25:02 UTC  

That’s not good either

2019-01-14 16:25:09 UTC  

Now with Reagan, we did see some bad shit pass through Congress

2019-01-14 16:25:11 UTC  

Namely

2019-01-14 16:25:27 UTC  

The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986

2019-01-14 16:25:44 UTC  

The Democrats wanted to push in a clause that said no more purchases of automatics made after '86

2019-01-14 16:26:01 UTC  

Yea it was Reagan

2019-01-14 16:26:36 UTC  

And Reagan said sure, and this bill effectively shattered the Second Amendment by implicitly declaring that the citizenry has no right to be able to put up a fight against the Federal government

2019-01-14 16:26:36 UTC  

I don’t understand how he could be a gun grabber if he was libertarian

2019-01-14 16:27:32 UTC  

yea

2019-01-14 16:27:43 UTC  

It was passed by the 99th Congress that had a Senatorial R majority and House D majority, with neither having enough votes to override a Presidential veto
