I love how the only post he responds to is the one with a grammatical mistake.

I couldve sworn it just said "Economists say" when I made this comment Ok either way who cares what one economist with a bad rep has to say about anything. Im sure could go fidn an economist who says O Malleys ideas are the best
-
I guess we should ignore the other 119 economists too then huh?
-
LOL Actually it is 170 economists who supposedly signed a paper agreeing with bernies views on Wallstreet reform. Who knows the validity of said economists and it doesnt mean they agree with all of his ideas
-
Nobody agrees with everything anybody says. That doesn't invalidate his ideas though.
-
This is exactly what Im saying. Just becuse (Insert amount of economists who agree) think his plans would work doesnt make his plans legitimate. Mad Maxs main trigger on this thread is saying "Look an economist agrees with sanders that means his plans must be going to work"

They're educated specialists not hood rats off the street. There's a difference.

Edited by A Syrian Refugee: 2/8/2016 11:01:07 PMIm sure for those 170 that agree there is 170 who dont Like I said we dont even know the validity of these economists. We just know 170 signed on agreeing. We have no clue how educated they are. Educated people make mistakes all the damn time. Im sure theres economists who have agreed with every move that has led us to an 19 trillion dollar debt

[quote]I couldve sworn it just said "Economists say" when I made this comment[/quote]Nope. I didn't edit anything.

If we were a true capitalist society we would not be having this conversation as there would have been [b]no[/b] bailouts.

"True capitalism" is a myth. If it were to happen, we'd be slaves to companies. There would be no government intervention at all. Government intervention is crucial to make sure a corporation does not exceed its bounds. To picture it, it would be a wealthy man holding a gun to a poor persons head. The opposite can be said about Communism. Capitalism would not advance enough because companies would want to make a longer process to get more money. Nikola Tesla was a victim of such crime. His idea of wireless electricity was groundbreaking, it worked to an extent. His real world test was shuttered early because JP Morgan did not want to fund something that would make electricity nearly free.

I get that, even still the government should have never bailed out the banks or the car manufacturers.

its a LIBERAL politics site. They are as biased as biased gets.

[quote]its a LIBERAL politics site. They are as biased as biased gets.[/quote] So its fake?

so, they said "hey look, these guys agree with us! lets speak highly of them"

Yes I completely know of the 170 who agree with his WALLSTREET REFORM that doesnt mean they support everything he is saying. And like I said to the other guy, who knows who all of those economists are? Im positive I could walk on campus and find an economist who agrees with (Insert pols name) just because some economists agree doesnt mean it is correct. Theres also just as many who would disagree
