In Praise of Monetarism

from Wikipedia:
Monetarism is a school of thought in monetary economics that emphasizes the role of policy-makers in controlling the amount of money in circulation. It gained prominence in the 1970s, but was mostly abandoned as a direct guidance to monetary policy during the following decade because of the rise of inflation targeting through movements of the official interest rate

donald trump is pro bringing it back? He even knows what it means?

No, he's doing the "tariff" trick. Instead of printing more money, he's taxing corporations through tariffs that must eat the tariffs to protect their price positions. Remember that corporate tax break? If you make your products outside of America you don't pay a tax, you pay a tariff. And If you make your products in the USA, your foreign competitors have to pay a tariff, but you don't. Genius.

As Charlie Kirk is laid to rest today, let us consider some of Charlie’s core beliefs so that they can inform our own lives and point the way toward a life well-lived
Charlie’s belief that America should be rooted in Christian identity, both culturally and politically, but if not in Christian, then in whatever religion you may believe in. .
A strong defense of traditional marriage between a man and a woman.
A strong support for the Second Amendment and armed citizenry.
The defense of free enterprise as the best system to generate prosperity
The opposition to abortion in nearly all circumstances.
Education & Rejecting “Wokeism”.

From Al Gore to Hillary Clintoon to Stacey Abrams to the non stop Story Telling of Joe Biden. Then you have the entire deep state that lied about Russian Collusion and the laptop being Russian misinformation. And let's not leave out the very media that censors & deplatforms the GOP running around confirming lies (aka misinformation) or flat out tells lies like Vivek being a 911 conspiracy nut by chopping up his statements then combining them in a way to make it look like he is. Lies, misinformation & all manner of shenanigans are done constantly by everyone yet the only ones ever deemed guilty of it and punished are righties.
The left do their best to cancel and censor individuals while the right only hold businesses accountable via boycotts. And oddly enough it used to be the left that was anti corporation. Now they goto any length to defend them.

How do YOU lefties square this misapplication of logic and morality? In my opinion, you can’t!
The democrat platform is built upon lies and deceit. Ultimately, they can't have debate to expose it. Hence, that's what we're seeing now. Anyone who thinks you can identify as another sex or tree, or animal or some kind of furry thing is beyond looney tunes, it’s just plain ridiculous. And that includes a few of the people that post right here on this very board.

Jimmy Kimmel's show is returning on Tuesday, ABC announces!
I guess that Money overrules political expediency! ABC found that out the hard way!
That was more like a paid vacation.
Again, to me it doesn’t matter. I don’t watch his crappy show, anyway.

As for the posturing of ABC and Mickey Mouse, very little confirms that it was just that, posturing, more than the almost immediate termination of the “faux suspension”
Will you be pleased if he returns as the Sniveling little bitch he he alway was? Either way I won't be watching so who really cares! Didn’t watch it before so whatever it was reported his ratings are even lower than those of the cancelled Colbert.
Jimmy didn't win. He was forced to make concessions to the fascist regime.

Don't count your chickens. Soon the left won't have any chickens left to count.

I am Charlie. I won't stop saying it. I will sacrifice my life on this blog to say that which is permitted only if you say what they want you to. Money overrules the constitution too. ABC didn't care about free speech. They cared about how many of us were boycotting their companies
His viewership went from a million viewers to 250 thousand viewers.
They have caved and brought him back. We Charlie supporters will make sure his viewership sinks to New Lows...
Jimmy is most likley in his bedroom right now practicing howoften to say Hitler , Nazi , racist Racist ,etc. Meanwhile ABC and Disney are about to get a Rude Wake up Call.
And I’ll tell you that one this if certain, the left Better stop sputing terrorist propaganda labeling opponents Hitler, Nazis, and Fascists ..Free speech is not stifled. Kimmel can say whatever he wants, the issue is "knowing your audience". Nexstar and Sinclair, ABC affiliates, told ABC that they would not broadcast Kimmel going forward. Nexstar and Sinclair broadcast all over the USA, and were not amused by Kimmel's Outrageous and Partisan Monologue.

My Note to the Leftist's on these Blogs.
You don’t have to mourn Charlie Kirk. Nobody is asking you to pretend you loved him or agreed with him.
But what we are asking is simple: stop being cruel. Stop celebrating his death. Stop mocking a man’s grieving wife as she faces the most heartbreaking days of her life.
Disagree with his politics if you want—that’s freedom. But dancing on his grave, ridiculing his family’s pain, and making a mockery of loss? That’s not freedom, that’s just evil.
At the very least, show a shred of human decency. You are not much of an American by calling a fellow American Hitler, Nazi, or even a Fascist. . We Americans just don't use those terms against each other.

Joe Conservative said...

Russia, can you replace the cut-and-paste bots with topical AI bots, please? I don't think that Charlie Kirk was a big Monetarism advocate... at least at the TPUSA main agenda level.

As the saying goes, if we don’t know our history, we’ll be doomed to repeat the mistakes of our ancestors. Fascist and Nazi: these two words loom large in the history books and in heated conversations about politicsconversations that have far outlasted the regimes that originally embraced them. For many of us, the words Fascist and Nazi bring to mind the worst dictators and crimes against humanity. The word Nazis don’t need much of an introduction: they were the German government and military that slaughtered over six million Jews and others during World War II. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party, making him both a Nazi and a Fascist and he is known to be one of the worst people on earth since then.
But as I said previously, We Americans just don’t use any of those terms to our fellow Americans, Period.

Democrats overused the word "racist" so they've now glommed onto the words "fascist" and "nazi".

People are onto them though. Antifa is the new Klan.

Les Carpenter said...

Well, if tRump and his MAGA scam wasn't fascist, as is being demonstrated by him daily, we wouldn't be saying so. BTW, he's not Nazio. Yet anyway.

And no, Antifa is NOT the new clan. That designation still belongs to the white Nationalists and racists. One in the same usually.
