Interest rates effect the ENTIRE economy and that is the purview of the Fed so they absolutely influence the entire economy.....and not just here but globally as well. What they do ripples into the rest of the world.

“There is no such thing as a completely free market for good reason. Unregulated capitalism leads to…

I respectfully disagree with you here. True free trade doesn’t work because other countries can realistically produce almost anything cheaper than we can as their labor is 1/100th what you pay in the US. You have to have managed trade, like China pursues with every trade partner, that ensures you don’t get run over.…

There is no way that Domino’s example is correct. Labor is, generally speaking, the largest expense of any company which is why you see a lot of fast food companies planning to replace human order takers with kiosks when minimum wages increase even $1.00.

And I love this statement “meet the invisible hand of the…

Well, the Republicans can’t pass anything without Democrat help since they don’t have a super-majority ... so it would seem they do have the numbers?

I’m interested in hearing about why it’s a crock of shit. Because small business owners generally can’t afford to increase labor very much without going under. Margins, unless you’re a tech company, suck for most businesses these days - both large and small.

What policies should Obama have put in place to stop stagnating median incomes? Because from where I sit, we are facing the double edged sword of free trade agreements allowing companies to off shore to lower labor countries and technology coming from the other side to completely eliminate jobs as productivity…

Why doesn’t Trump have to deal with an obstructionist Congress? Shouldn’t the Democrats be playing all the cards the Republicans played under Obama? They don’t have a supermajority.

The only way he gets re-elected is if he delivers economic gains to the 3 midwestern states that turned the election. Are you banking on that happening?

Would you bet your future, or your children’s future, on that position? I had to make that choice.....it’s why I’m here instead of there.

The experts you’re picking agree with my argument....what does that tell you? They will not refer to the US as a Democracy without putting a qualifier in front of it.....which tells you the US is, in fact, not a Democracy.

Did you read the article....he uses qualifiers ALL over the place and in many places put democracy in “” marks. Here is one of the best examples (emphasis mine):

Not really...it denotes Switzerland and the UK as the two types of Democracies.....noticeably absent from that description - The Unites States of America.

And your 1 “source” was shit...if you’re going to call people out on sources, develop some of your own. At least I could come up with more than 1 and the last two…

This kind of thing restores my faith in sports. Fantastic.

So the other two who are not libertarian are also incorrect? And the article you posted, that was clearly an opinion piece with no sourcing, is the correct one?

Tell that to Spain and Greece - both have strong communist political parties that are gaining strength.

It’s a slippery slope...

Your source reads like an opinion piece....

one is a more extreme version of the other...

Is it wrong, though? Is the definition incorrect?

Google is your friend......
