Genetic
distribution that cause a person to become and stay a Democrat (or
socialist) also render them incapable of understanding basic economics.
—Undeniable
Truth about Democrats #2
Even
though I had an Econ minor in college, it was not until I experienced
economics at the micro level that I fully appreciated the
macroeconomics of minimum wage laws.
Our first home in Maryland was a scant half-mile from the gates of a
large Air Force base. Like most new homeowners we were house
poor, counting every penny. We shopped at a strip mall located
opposite the
main gate to the base. Just when we had settled into a spending
routine, Congress gave the military a pay raise. Good on
them. What
happened though, was almost simultaneous with that military pay
increase came across the board price increases in everything at
the
strip mall. Food, hardware, liquor; everything. And we noticed it
with an acuteness only people who check grocery receipts with groceries
as they're put away would.
Demand and Supply
are the Horse and Carriage
of Econ 1. A fact that Maryland Democrats are
incapable of grasping, or even caring about. To them, it's about timely
gaming the ignorant class (as Sandra Day O'Connor
describes) of
voters with meaningless, but quite harmful bunco.

If one takes a close look at the items which have the most significant increases over time, it becomes apparent that the things the government has legislated about increased the most.
ReplyDeletefuel
housing
food
Two of the three are NOT included in government inflation indices.
Wonder why? I don't.

Dang. Forgot to add:
ReplyDeleteTwo of the three are targets of the "green" and "AGW" groups. Or maybe all three.
Add it up, on the face it indicates a set of subversives that will destroy the economy, or weaken it, and cause unemployment to rise.
Oh, wait. It has, for the past 5+ years. If 'labor participation rate' was at historic norms, unemployment would be over 10%. Only through futzing the numbers, and the rigged inflation index {no food, no gas}, do we have 'improvement'.
Liars. Serial liars with no compunction about who gets hurt. The more that are insolvent, the more on the government teat and the more that will pull the straight D ticket. On your dime. Heh. Gotcha. Wait until the dollar loses its foreign acceptance as the currency of last resort. It will tank. As planned. See NormPod as noted.
There is need for LIVs to get information about the storm that approaches so they will use their voice to influence D Senators.
BHO must go.
