    So you don't have any examples?

    HAHA, Right wing fanatics never believe or acknowledge that markets fail because of sociopaths…they just “correct”. Consequently, regulation is unnecessary, because everyone deep down is a good guy. Failed markets correct because the government steps in and bails out the failed market by insuring the losses are socialized out to everyone and by promising vast new regulation. Without regulation, these markets won’t correct.

    CDOs, credit default swaps, bond rating agencies, insurance companies (AIG, etc.) basically anything in 2008.

    Right wing fanatics? Good Christ. Stop being a partisan fag. The fact you think a free market system = right wing fanatic speaks volumes.

    So you don't have examples of free markets failing? You haven't given a single example of a free market failure. Clearly you have no understanding of financial markets. Madoff free market failure? Lol. Just stop. Here's a hint, when government steps in to rescue their fuck up, that isn't a free market. None of 2008 you listed were free market enterprises. Government handouts, government special favors, cronyism, corporatism, government policy, government intervention....certainly not free market principles.

    Fiat money isn't an example of the free market, it's another example of government fuck up.

    Hth
    You're very good at redefining...but it's inevitably a worthless cause. As I already stated before you did it, right-wingers always redefine that a market failure is a market "correction".

    BTW, I'm merely a pretty, moderate fag.

    So currencies are not exchanged on a free market?
    Currencies are exchanged on a highly regulated and government manipulated market. But that's not what you were referring to. You said "inevitably paper money". And I agree. Paper money would not exist on the free market. Fiat money, by definition, can't exist without government.

    right wingers are not free market capitalists. They are political hacks, just like the "progressives". You try to turn the debate into a political one. A lot of people who know very little about economics try to frame the argument that way. You can't even grasp the concept of a free market.

    You think you're pretty? Cool story bro.

    This Third World classification of access to our healthcare system is due primarily to two things:1) greed in the healthcare and insurance industries; and 2) the uninsured population in the USA that still must be cared for by hospitals and other providers passing on the cost to be paid for by the insured.
    Wrong on those counts. See SouthenDawg's post for further clarification.

    If #2 were correct, we would see a dramatic reduction in costs when everyone has coverage. We have not, nor does anyone predict that taht will result in cost reduction for the average American.
    I don't know where you live, but Idaho doesn't have universal coverage and neither do many of the red states in America. SouthenDawg is an insurance industry propagandist and I wouldn't believe anything he posts of this subject. Idaho has come to their senses by eventually pushing aside the nullifiers and set-up the means through assistance from state agencies for people to buy insurance this coming month or the next. At present, the uninsured are still uninsured at least here any many other places such as Texas.

    As for greed and cost, the American healthcare system comprised of providers and insurers is the epitome of why America's so-called free market economy is a myth and the alltime biggest con game ever perpetrated on the American people. The first part of any solution is to get rid of the healthcare insurance industry by outlawing it completely. The second then would be to take usury out of the healthcare provider system. Hospitals and clinics and the vast systems that own these institutions can be public non-profit or private for-profit, but they must not have IPO's and stockholders.



    "Overall, the profit margin for health insurance companies was a modest 3.4 percent over the past year, according to data provided by Morningstar. That ranks 87th out of 215 industries and slightly above the median of 2.2 percent. By this measure, the most profitable industry over the past year has been beverages, with a 25.9 percent profit margin. Right behind that were healthcare real-estate trusts (firms that are basically the landlords for hospitals and healthcare facilities) and application-software (think Windows). The worst performer was copper, with a profit margin of minus 56.6 percent." 2009 US NEWS report

    Them greedy SOB's!!! Damone is right, when he says health insurance should be a major medical plan.

    You're an idiot. AIG didn't go broke from the insurance market. AIG invested in the high risk mortgage backing like many banks including government agencies like Fanny Mae. Madoff? really...............

    Explain to me how GS would have saved AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman. Let me help you...it wouldn't have. It might have prevented BofA from failing...but there were many other issues at play.

    Damone, your argument style is to constantly redefine things = increasingly progressive waste of energy to me. It's like pulling into a parking spot, then constantly changing spots because the angle that most people see your car at can constantly be improved upon, but unfortunately to the people walking by, it's still the same car.
    Bill Maher does this. He memorizes his talking points, then constantly redefines and backs out of a bad position he's taken.
    I like how you frame that economics is not about politics, yet you constantly talk about how the gov fucks up the economy by intervening...so then it is political......

    BTW, the answer you were looking for is that free markets don't exist, because governments always make decisions which intrude. OK.
    I take it that was the talking point your were pivoting from.

    If govs don't step in in bad recessions and spend $ on large public projects and regulate things, very little can prevent unemployment from skyrocketing and lasting potentially forever. I suspect a "true free market system" would have millions->billions of deaths in every subsequent recession from unemployed people starving.



    To smart-guy: AIG is an insurance company. AIG insured those high-quality AAA-rated mortgages in those CDOs. They failed to realize the scope of the market they were insuring and failed to pay.

    Fortunately the gov bailed them out, and didn't allow the web of the insurance industry to collapse and fail.

    Also, alcoholic beverages get consumed more in a bad economy. One of the few good industries to invest in during recessions.

    I'm glad you were able to explain to Thomas how GS had little bearing on 2008. Thanks.

    What you fail to understand, or grasp, is that you and others want to frame it as a"right wingers" vs. "liberals"..that's what I mean when I say it's not about politics. Your'e defining the government as "Political"...it's not.

    Explain how I re-framed the argument.

    Oh...your Keynesian slip is showing... "Bad Recessions?" You act like those aren't largely created by misguided government fiscal and monetary policy in the first place.

    good Christ. You can't prove it because it would simply not have pretended it. You know what GS did, right? I'm starting to doubt that. You do not agree that AIG, Bear and Lehman would not have been saved by GS? Please. You seriously need to do some research on GS and what happened.

    Yes, I believe in regulation, because the sociopaths always come in and fuck things up...both gov officials and corrupt business men. Just can't trust that 1-3% of the population. I adequately explained how you reframed that economics isn't political...yet it is - from your mantra that govs constantly fuck up the free market system.

    Goldman Scams is the central station for sociopaths. They need a really big fire in NYC headquarters.

    “Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it.”
    Cute quote.

    Check the facts, doe.
    Um...yes..check the facts. Or do some analysis and research...
    I did, and I've made my ruling.

    Did I stutter?
    Explain to me how GS would have saved AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman. Let me help you...it wouldn't have. It might have prevented BofA from failing...but there were many other issues at play.

    You can now go back to parroting what you heard. "Hi Kim!"
    If you need it explained to you, you need to go do more research. HTH.
    So you agree...GS repeal had very little bearing on 2008 and your "scoreboard" statement was off base. Good to know,
    I stand by my scoreboard statement. 100%.

    GS prevents the "great recession". You can't disprove that.
    good Christ. You can't prove it because it would simply not have pretended it. You know what GS did, right? I'm starting to doubt that. You do not agree that AIG, Bear and Lehman would not have been saved by GS? Please. You seriously need to do some research on GS and what happened.
    So the GS repeal was a good thing in your mind?

    Amazing...
    It was irrelevant when it was repealed. A lot of smart people, such as Bill Clinton, agree.
    I know you are being sarcastic, but he didn't repeal it because he wanted to.
    really, then why did he?
    Probably the weed.
    Or the pussy.
    Why do you hate abundance?

    I'd say Glass-Steagall was a good form of government intervention into the free-market.

    I am actually for a pure, single-payer system. But...

    And its a big but, I would deport/cull half the US population prior to said system commencing.

    My people tell me this is not politically feasible in this day and age, but one can only have hope

    I'd agree with that plan if it was realistic.
