If re-introducing slavery brought him political gain, he’d back that.<br /><br />If we, the people, argue through various issues, and can get some sort of agreement on each issue, then the “political gain whores” (aka politicians) will follow.Ralph Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443857766263185665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-39318879784847111892014-11-26T06:09:40.817-05:002014-11-26T06:09:40.817-05:00And it'll remain the blind leading the blind f...And it'll remain the blind leading the blind for at least as long as these people keep using the metonym "money" in these (alleged) technical discussions about state currency systems. ...<br /><br />The most basic problem continues to be our present human condition that lacks an adequate view of our authority and instead we have the current environment of out of control libertarianism and the associated wantonness and chaos we can see...Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-25057784041442114812014-11-26T05:46:02.134-05:002014-11-26T05:46:02.134-05:00Its certainly very depressing to see our friends a... <b> Its certainly very depressing to see our friends across the pond having a honest, detailed debate about money. </b><br /><br />There's not much point in having an honest debate about money if the men in charge then choose to ignore the reality, solely for political gain. This morning the chancellor George Osborne has been putting forward his plans for a balanced budget law, and no doubt the labour party will go along with it, because that's how they think they will look like they're part of the "serious people" who believe a government's finances are the same as a household.<br /><br />I'm afraid it's the blind leading the blind.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388885044895299757noreply@blogger.com
