You are a stupid fuck and a troll.

Blah Blah blah. Don't forget to have your mother wipe your ass little kid. You stink.

Is that the best you've got in your brain?

...because of an increase in the purchasing power of a dollar. I'm not surprised that you're such a dumb fuck yourself, since you essentially copied and pasted the first line of the "deflation" wikipedia page verbatim straight from the Google search. I give krellin credit for being able to think (most of the time), and sbyvl can't think at all, but you really give a new meaning to the word "idiot".

You haven't even bothered to read a history of the gilded age have you? You must not be old enough to know about it, your too fucking poor because our too fucking stupid to have money to buy a book, or you a just a clueless fuck. The answer of course is all of the above. The deflation of the gilded age occurred because of the massive expansion of American industry and the collapse of productive costs per unit because of economies of scale. The monetary standard of the period was the gold standard which remained virtually constant for three decades. Steel got cheaper because the supply of steel increased relative to demand not becuase of any monetary manipulation. Just like the cost of DVR's kept decreasing during the 1990's because more and more companies produced them more and more efficiently. You can put your head back up your ass now and return to your ignorance.

So Eric, are you still at UCLA or did you finish yet?

See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a fucking education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!

That isn't any of your business 2ndw, but it doesn't surprise me that a dumb ass like you would ask something that wasn't any of their business. Have you quit sucking dick?

Man, you're not even worth it. When you go from zero to "sucking dick" within the space of two posts, it just proves your lack of tact and intelligence. If you want people to take you seriously, which nobody does, start giving a little respect on the forums.

Deflation means you can buy more with one dollar on average. Everything keeps costing more dollars, so there's inflation. If you think everything kept costing less dollars for a period of a few decades you are simply wrong. Maybe some stuff got cheaper but most stuff got more expensive, which is obvious since more money circulated over time. If you have more money you can spend more and if you can spend more people raise their prices, naturally. Rising prices=inflation=not deflation.

Bussiness thrives because there's a slow and steady inflation. If there's deflation there is no point in doing bussiness since your money is worth more daily as long as you don't invest it. Investment is good, so a bit of inflation is good. Too much inflation causes obvious logistic problems. What may have happened is that there was less inflation than in other countries which is good IMO, as long as there's some inflation left. If inflation is low you can save if you want and it would only cost you little, and doing bussiness pays off.

2nd white line you plagiarized that from good will hunting LMAO CAUGHT YOU HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

im sorry, although i've been rooting for what you've been saying, cmon man, plagiarizing a movie scene?

"You must not be old enough to know about it, your too fucking poor because our too fucking stupid to have money to buy a book, or you a just a clueless fuck."

I really enjoy people who call others stupid, especially when they can't type a sentence to save their life. I suppose you're too poor to afford an education that would teach you English?

*i suppose you too poor ;)

Plagiarizing a movie scene about plagiarizing.

Bo, I read your earlier post in which you claim that you're smart enough to 'know' that Fascists and Communists are opposite.

Here are just some of their similarities:

slave labor (poles/gypsys/jews and prisoners/gypsys/jews)
suspension of personal property
widespread use of state sponsored propaganda
subjugation/elimination of religion
deficit spending
use of large public works projects for job creation

Remember, National Socialist German Worker's Party.

lol ironic eh?

JMO, I enjoy little whining bitches like you too. Are you a cock sucker who wants to be called Chelsea too?

The best definition of the relationship between communists and Nazis was that they were the bottom ends of the ideological horse shoe, distinct and separate but found at the same extreme end.

I agree.

With regard to JMO and other morons, it seems that they have no reasonable arguments left, because for the last 24 hours they've done nothing but resort to personal attacks. These people are real losers.

That wasn't plagiarism, that was a relevant reference. I rather enjoyed it.

"With regard to JMO and other morons, it seems that they have no reasonable arguments left, because for the last 24 hours they've done nothing but resort to personal attacks. These people are real losers."

"nothing but resort to personal attacks"
"morons"
"These people are real losers."
You were saying?

It was a relevant reference, and i too enjoyed it lmao, but he didn't cite it so it is plagiarism.

That discredits all future posts he will make.

Emac, you really aren't too smart are you. What do you think you're going to accomplish cussing everyone out who disagrees with you? You're making a complete fool out of yourself with this thread and the one about Draugnar, you really should consider stopping before the entire site has you muted.

I'm not cussing everyone. I just cuss the asshats like you who chime in like little bitches.

Plagiarizing didn't discredit Ted Kennedy or Joe Biden.

Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden were discredited long before they plagiarized, Emac.

steephie, I looked at your latest post. steephie22 Online (25 )

"Deflation means you can buy more with one dollar on average. Everything keeps costing more dollars, so there's inflation."
I don't understand your point here.

The cost of all sorts of consumer goods decreased in price after the Civil War until the turn of the century. Food got cheaper throughout the period. There was a global glut of food. Clothes got cheaper as well with the increased efficiency of the transportation system and communications as well as the advent of department stores and mail order catalogs that made delivering goods to the consumer more efficient. Machinery and raw materials like steel decreased as well. Real wages doubled between the end of the Civil War and the turn of the century as well. The standard of living grew more rapidly for more people than any time in our history. There was enormous poverty in the cities, but it steadily decreased throughout the period. More demand doesn't equal higher prices if supply keeps increasing faster than demand. This is exactly what happened. American went from a net importer of finished goods to one of the most important exporters of manufactured goods in the world during this period. Our supply of goods far outstripped domestic demand and we exported the surplus all over the world. This is exactly what set the stage for American economic domination of the 20th century until today.
A business thrives and businesses thrive because it and they produce goods and services below the price the public is willing to pay for those goods and services. Inflation has nothing at all to do with it. Expansion of the money supply out of sync with the productivity of the economy (an excellent definition of inflation) is never, ever good business because it discourages savings and investment.

I'd like to declare that Emac is the second true conservative on this forum. I approve of him.
