Paul Ryan wants entitlement cuts with no revenue hike. Harry Reid has already said no. Can Reid buck the president, who wants entitlement cuts, and keep his caucus together in the senate? If the Democrats fold on this, they are on notice from both labor and progressive activists it's all over for them.

Paul Ryan wants narrower focus for new budget talks

There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords
ReplyDeleteAnd his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men. Proverbs 30:14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
And Paul Ryan should wonder if he is such.
He's got a solution F:

Requires less "evil money idolatry" to implement...
And, of course Ryan, like you Franko, should consider how the banking cartel systematically steals from the poor since they are less so-called creditworthy. Thus they deserve far more than soup, they deserve restitution.
ReplyDeleteOr does "Thou shall not steal" apply only to the Hebrews?
Define 'poor'...
ReplyDeleteThere's no need to define poor since the Bible forbids theft from anyone, including God.
ReplyDeleteDefine "poor."

That's poor.
F,
ReplyDeleteTom's problem solved?
Get those Roma people a line of credit pronto?
???? Do I have this right?
Without the counterfeiting cartel, the poor might at least be able to save a pittance without it being eroded by negative real interest rates.

ReplyDeleteThey are not going to save anything unless the govt sector is arranging economic policy to allow them to do so... banks or no banks...
But I'm not arguing against the government sector; I'm arguing against the fascist money system that you and now it seems Tom support.

ReplyDeleteF,
What matters today is how you view the vertical relationships... the banks (really the FRS) are just fiscal agents of our institution of civil govt... they serve at the pleasure of the Secretary...
As long as you have people in there who understand this vertical relationship, we can avoid the injustice....
You cant expect to just "get rid of the banks" and we're all going to just sit around all day singing kumbaya with no issues...

ReplyDelete1) Removing government backing for the banks would take care and new reserves distributed to the population but it is doable.
2) Purely private banks, assuming they can survive, would still be permitted.
3) A universal bailout of the population at least until all deposits are 100% covered by reserves would allow plenty of honest, 100% reserve lending.
4) There are ethical forms of endogenous money creation such as common stock.
How can the political discussion get any narrower?
