Well, when the Washington Post says the same thing I said.Elaborate on what the Post says, please. I'm not going to create an account on their POS site.
I lived through the Nixon's Wage and Price controls which was a disaster.
What I said used to be common knowledge and common sense with economic policies. Originally Posted by farmstud60

Meanwhile, let's not forget that Nixon was a Republican. And NO ONE believes in wage and price controls any more, so they are irrelevant in discussing her policies.
And saying things like "common knowledge" and "common sense" are meaningless. Tell me something real. Without insulting me, please. Try discussing a topic for once. I am not a "Marxist." Originally Posted by BillysEatinIt

When you bring up something as stupid as a political party of Nixon, you won't believe a thing I say anyway., Originally Posted by farmstud60You never miss a chance to insult. And saying that I "won't believe a thing" you say is a cop out. it would seem that you cannot do what I suggested you do, i.e. say something meaningful to back up your views and predictions about Harris' economic policy statements. You chose to deflect instead.
But if you are serious about learning some real economics look up Milton Friedman and read his book. Originally Posted by farmstud60I didn't ask you for a lesson in economic theory either.
Thus, who will build "affordable housing", Why would farmers and transport send foodstuff to cities? Why would any type of energy production occur unless those that do that receive a good buck.why would they?
The democratic version of socialism is to buy votes regardless of how much damage they do to the American economy.

One of my favorite sayings is that history always repeats.
Applicable to politics, wars, economies (local and worldwide), etc.
Amusingly, theatrical scripts also always repeat.
Also, occurs in music, poems, literature, etc.
Usually heavily disguised, but the reason for copyright laws.
Edit add....
Jackie, it's your fault for me being serious this am.
You and the cup of coffee the cowgirl put in front of me.
OK, I need a distraction...

Maybe you could try it out?Yeah, I feel foolish for actually putting an objective thought in my initial post in this thread. I should have read the previous posts before I even bothered to do so.
Farmstud, from the part of the speech you could manage to pay attention to, which policies will lead to being lined up against a wall and shot? Originally Posted by TechPapi
