It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

That was when the rest of the world was borrowing from us.

Bob, do you see the difference?

yep, the right keeps confirming that LIBERALS have the right ideas.

There was a lot more complexity to the investment in WWII.

We were investing our money in an enterprise to destroy all of our
competition ... literally.


Yep. Just raises costs, making USA less competitive.

We built the bombs that laid waste to the industrial capacity of
virtually all of our competition while the rest of the western world
paid us to build them more bombs.


Some big truth to that. Still goes on too in economic outflow of wealth.

That is not likely to happen today. The industrial capacity has left
the country. If for some strange reason we reenacted WWII today, China
would win, simply because they have the industrial capacity to build
all the weapons to arm their 100 million man army and still export
weapons for the rest of the world.


Only way USA could win is a pre-emptive massive nuclear attach. Would
result in Russia stepping in. Everyone a loser is USA's best scenario.

Worst scenario, USA is a third world country as the currency collapses.
Which is were it is headed. $10,000 a barrel? Think it is a joke?
Study Zimbabwe. Can't print your way out of debt, but you can dilute
your currency to a much lower value.

Nukes have made that an unlikely prospect tho. That is why we have had
to declare wars, for no particular reason, on backward countries who
can't really fight back. Our idea of the WWII prosperity today is the
million dollars a man we **** away in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is
really not providing much employment and we are doing more damage to
our own economy than we are to the rest of the world.

WWII analogies simply do not apply.


Yep, with nukes, it is he MAD principle. Imagine, China could field
3,000,000 troupes in BC and take over Canada as fast as their tanks
could travel. Have a border skirmish with an economically decimated USA.

Real problem here is China is bailing out the USA with its policies. It
sees USA going down as bad for them. They in fact support the value of
a USD. But I question how long they can prop up the value of a USD. In
reality it needs to be massively devalued....

Which is why Obama opens up on China then quietly shuts up. China just
might write off $2T of bad US debt and let USA take its chances with the
valueless dollar. Would make oil for Chinese cheaper.

Watch Chinese inflation, that is where the weak USD is driving the
pressures. If the Chinese let the USD float down in value, the USA will
see major inflation pressures.

Bottom line, US economics is now owned by China. Far too much money
expansion from the US Fed and government debt to stop it now. The
reality hasn't set in, but China is already in many ways the #1 world
economy.

Keynes was an unemployed liberal economist looking for a job, so he told
politicians what they wanted to here.

3 years of Keynes and just a load of debt to show for it. No results,
just more bu11sh1t.

I do actually think Keynews could work if enhanced to include the
concept of a reserve fund. During fat times, no debt, governments
hoards cash to have a solid reserve and avoid greed. Even cut
government in good times. But the lack of a reserve is why Keynes is
full of sh1t.

You can't debt-spend your way out of a debt problem. Keynes does not
properly even apply. Fact is, your not paying your bills with real
money. Just paying with BS and a prayer, and sooner or later that
bubble will pop.

I am just not engaging Plume. I got tired of every debate ending up in
an insult when she ran out of things to say


You got tired of have no facts. You started the insults, but you're
not going to admit it. Did I call you a moron or an asshole? Did I
claim you have a small ding dong? No. What was this terrible insult?
Oh, I think it was "you're delusional if you think...."

How terrible. You must have a very thin skin. I apologize.


If you did two things people would respect you more.

1) No whine and fleabagger chirp towards others.
2) If you don't know anything, shut up an listen.

So how is our welfare mama doing today? Give us a laugh at least.

You wouldn't get the full tax break until it was held 5 years and make
it a higher percentage ending at the regular income rate at 1 or 2
years.

Fast way to scare off investment. In todays market, 5 years is not even
calculated. Too many changes coming for a commitment that long without
some guarantees no one will or can make.

A huge part of our problem is that businesses work in 90 day windows
while out competition in China looks at decades at a time.

For example, if you give me a 20 year tax rate guarantee for property
and income tax that I like, I would buy a Florida property tomorrow
morning. But with the debts out of control, I will hold off and decline
thank you. No sense in moving to the taxed poor districts of USA. And
Florida is one of the better places.


There is no income tax in Florida and we have SOH limits on property
taxes. That may actually be a bad thing because if we get a round of
massive inflation, the local communities may go broke. They were
certainly fat during the housing boom because the property taxes were
pegged to the sale prices and they were fantasy. The smart communities
like mine banked that excess money. although we did let the school
board get out of control ($20k per student kind of out of control)


I was wondering why the democrat pundit was pushing 401's as the
"safest" way to go right now... "FREE MONEY" he said, "from your
employer". I guess it makes sense now, then they can tax the crap out of
you and your employer... :(


The employer is not going to be taxed but I bet those people taking
their 401k money out in the future will get their ass kicked on it.

Right now a worker would be paying a very minimal tax on this money
but I bet those numbers will go up sharply as we try to dig our way
out of crushing debt.


401Ks are taxed as regular income if you're over the line. Is this
new? No. Taxes will go up. Some should consider converting to Roths.

Tax-sheltered retirement income is taxed as ordinary income when
distributed.
Always was, is, always will be.
It's expected that your income will be less when you retire.
You might be able to use Roth IRA's to some extent if you think working
vs. retirement yaxes will flip on you.
Normally it doesn't work that way.
Basically you've said if you're outside when it rains you'll get wet.

Depends on income, but you have a point there.
Low income workers could lose by saving.
Here's the bright side.
Low income worker don't have any ****ing money to save.

Not really. Limiting government taxes is good. Can't keep raising
taxes into perpetuity or you quickly become state debt-tax slaves. What
is missing though is the removal of governments saddling debt into the
system. That is, funding the excess with a credit card. That bypasses
the intent of the limiting taxes and thus is fraud on the intent for
people to maintain some economic freedom.

The reality is, government is living beyond its means using debt fraud
to fund it.

Bottom line, they have to cut spending and start paying those debts. If
that means tossing some politicially sacred cows and union ass to the
pavement, start throwing. No reason why everybody has to suffer but for
government. Do the socialist thing, share the pain not just the gain.


Good grief... your stupid statements cannot be attributed to your
eyesight problems.

It was something called lend lease that got the factories moving again.

So, money was spent by the US gov't. This stabilized the economy.
Thanks for the confirmation.

It was just like any other business deal. The corporations were told
that if they made and sold the items now they would get some money down
the road. This loaded up the companies billables and they could use that
to borrow against.


Which is exactly what happens when the gov't pumps money into the
economy for things like the STIM. Jobs are created and people pay
taxes. Same with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. All those people are still
employed and paying taxes.

The best bang for your buck (other than a war) are things like food
stamps. That money returns to the economy immediately, and is a net
positive, esp. in the short term.


Look up the fine print of lend lease. First, it was less than a
trillion dollars to end a decade long depression. Very, very cheap and
efficient compared to Obamanomics. And no government debt for it.

It was also precipitated by the ned for war munitions and goods for the
world. No such needs to that level are needed today. But could be why
Obama is war hungry. A bad mad debtor.

Third element, it didn't have a debt battered business base. Debt of
government, business and people were relatively low compared to today.
Some economists say the end of the depression may have occured anyways
and in fact had already started before WW II.


The US gov't was going broke during WWII. That's what the bond push
was all about.

For God's sake, look things up before you quack.

What if everyone thinks the current tax on 401's is ok, tolerable so
they pump them up, and then "somebody" decides to say, triple the tax on
the 401's????

It is funny that when some try to tell us that the only way to make
money is to spend money. Yet it just never seems to work with
governments. They more the spend the more debt they create for everyone.


It's funny that you don't know anything about how an economy works.


Knows more than you. You don't have much money.

yep. typical LIBERAL KEYNESIAN economcis

-borrow and spend in bad times
-pay back in good

thanks. i already knew that


Well what is really happenign is:

-borrow and spend in good times
-borrow more and spend in bad times

Even a brain fart knows that isn't sustainable.
