I would vote for Devil as President.

And then request that the US invades UK.
 
No laissez-faire model has ever been 'applied' genius. That includes your imaginary cause of the housing meltdown.

I'm glad your economic history goes all the way back to Milton Friedman. That way, you don't have to concern yourself with Smith, Say, Bastiat, Menger or Mises. What do they put in the water over there? I think you should try flouride. I heard it helps.


It would help if you cited a model that actually works in the real world.. rather than name checking philosophers and recommending what is effectively a barter system, as though modern global economics can be run on a quasi-Medieval model.. good luck negotiating with Sideshow to accept chickens for a Premium Format statue.

You are simply after the fantastic weather, awesome beer, proper cheese, great chocolate, cute women and Judge Dredd copyright!.. We will never surrender! :lol

..ok, I may have fibbed about the weather...
 
Everywhere in Europe has better everything than you.

It would help if you took your Keynesian pragmatism and blew it out your ass. Last I checked, the current model has done nothing but fail for a century, except for when it had the luxury of riding on the coattails of periods in which relative freedom existed.

If you knew what those economists had written, you'd know the difference between a mercantilist and a capitalist economy. All you have is neo-mercantilist regurgitation and a Tea Party boogeyman.

Nothing is perfect..:pfft:

It works surprisingly well, provided you accept a ten year boom/bust cycle, rather than trying to cheat the model by over extending credit.. and it was definitely better than a wholesale return to soup kitchen queues in 2007.
 
Had the Clinton administration and the Democratic Party never forced banks to lend to sub-prime borrowers, no one would have had to bundle high-risk loans with rational financing and sell them as derivatives. Even someone as dim as Bush knew that, but the same Democrats insisted on the safety of their affordable housing racket. When the FM's sold a trillion dollars worth of sub-prime mortgages between '06 and '07, they broke the banks, and everyone who bought from them.

None of that would have happened in a free market. Nor would regular recessions and depressions, the likes of which are created under the kinds of consumption driven policies employed by your pet bureaucrats and central bankers.

I love my weather.
All beer is disgusting.
Cheese is disgusting.
I prefer sour Mike n Ikes to chocolate.
Hot chicks are plentiful here.
