I need no steeeenking economist
I think you -- and yours -- and me -- and mine -- do.
i disagree.
at this moment in time, (and given the environment)
i need practical, tough, direct action, and experienced
executioners.....
not theoretical, academicians, armed with error-prone
graphs and studies, far removed from the day to day
battle lines needs......
once (if at all) we can get back to the point of wealth,
true power, and SOLID policies.....
then we can afford (but not too much), to be grandiose,
academic, and irrelevant..... to give the 'false impression'
that they believe they are the ultimate and needed solution.....
just let these "happy people" do their work, and allow
themselves to believe they are the fairy winged heroes of
fallacy.... all the while we make sure there are strong policies
based in reason, logic, and hard realities to assure our future
is safe....
not fuzzy math, graphs, and questionable (and easy to manage)
statistics, based on telephone quizzes made look scientific because
they are called "representative population tests"
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless
series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
~ H. L. Mencken
and let's not forget..... economists are the modern day voodoo priests of ancient tribes....
(just look at their PRACTICAL record..... something they CANNOT DEFEND... PERIOD)
we cannot allow such charlatans continue to sell us all the snake oil chit that have put us in the 'hell hole we are in......
there is no magic when you add.... 2 + 2 = 4
regardless of questionable assumptions that ignore human behavior as a variable.....
in spite of the glorified 'chaos theories' which clearly did not help the quants in wall street when they
were sweating cold bullets as their equities in their risky funds evaporated as the cold market realities were.... telling them in no uncertain terms........
"you screwed up" (your equity is going to zero...... ) -lol
no degree of fuzzy math can hide ... ahem.... mark to market realities.....
notwithstanding bail-outs, subsidies, imaginary riots and bazooka-solving-
bullshit projections.....
:^)
