Forum Post: Your Proposals Fail Under The Understanding Of Basic Economics

Someone said "open all borders". America cant afford to put its own citizens to work, when you add "THE WORLD" you get a SLUM of UNEMPLOYMENT; Basic Economics!

Someone said "Institute a moratorium on all foreclosures and layoffs immediately."

How?! The government doesnt control privately owned banks or fund privately owned businesses! If you cant afford to put someone to work, you cant afford it! If the government just GAVE money to businesses we would have SUPER INFLATION! See Zimbabwe. Basic Economics!

Someone said "Ban the private ownership of land." Jeeze, you really want the government to OWN your ass! And what do we live in? Government sanctioned dwellings?

Someone said "Immediate debt forgiveness for all." Hey man thats like saying that if you borrowed something from me you wouldnt have to pay it back! It means you put people who give out loans OUT OF BUSINESS! Loans create EVERYTHING! Basic Economics!

You said "End the 'War on Drugs'." The US military works around the whole planet to reduce the drug trade. Do you have any idea what the world would be like if they didnt seize the tons of cocaine that they do each year? Cocaine and crack would be easy to get; and cheap!
