Good point. We should start by mandating that the US government can only buy products made start to finish entirely on Wake Island. It's only 2.85 square miles and already controlled by the Fedcoats. I say it's a reasonable, temporary compromise between those who want to eliminate government purchasing entirely and those who want to limit the government to things produced inside the US. It could be promoted as the Wake Island Stimulus Program.Originally Posted by Pauls' Revere
and you realize that this logic is the Keyesian utopia the Left etc...uses to push thier programs?I am in favor of something like this - but ONLY for government. Government should have to abide by rules the rest of us do not. I don't really think the US Gov 'buying American' will make any kind of real difference, it's more about any excuse to chain government down and put them under the control of the people. Also, if there were going to be any sort of protectionist economic stimuli stuff, this has to be one of the more harmless ones.

When law and morality are in contradiction to each other, the citizen finds himself in the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense, or of losing his respect for the law. - The Law Government is that great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. - Government
Or they could just raise taxes and inflate more.
I need some clarification on this Gunny, something is getting lost in translation.I am in favor of something like this - but ONLY for government.

"I want to restrain government"
"YOU fiat-currency broken window Keynesian you!!!11!"
still just as illogical. Still just as emotional.
Apparently it is.
But why should I answer you -- you've accused me of wanting to murder children against their will in a war. You have accused me of being a Keynesian. So anything I say, no matter how benign, I am convinced you are just going to twist it into the next monstrosity that pops into your head.
From where I sit, why should I help you imagine weird crimes against me that I have never committed?
What's next, I quote a line from the Constitution and you accuse me of being a pedophile?
How about take a step back and reassess what's happening here and try starting fresh?
thus pissing off and waking up another 10% or so of America and making them angry and extremely vulnerable to our political influence.
Sounds worth it to me.
Works for me
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
yes, but I'm allowed to be emotional because at least I picked the right ideology to be mad about!
