Since you are pedantically and ineffectually now lecturing the English language, another among your many futile pursuits.......

You may attend a pursuit, you may be in pursuit, you may even chose not to pursue.

But the meaning of the words 'come to' and 'pursuit' do not lend themselves to being used that way in a sentence, not only is it euphonically damaging to the ear, it is plainly piss poor English, and wrong.

My point, you don't know.  You are an economist.  You are unable by dint of your lack of real knowledge to pedantically blowhole on any economic issue.  Prithee, what will make our economy flourish, growth rates (oh, I will give you some leeway here) of between 10-20% a year, and the meltdown, why didn't you see it?  (And I will hold you to your answer) Then tell me why nobody listens to this great and august bunch of maggots if they 'know' something?

If non-economists are children, economists are miasmatic shitbreathers.  Useless and unknowledgeable about the pedantics they masturbate on.

It's not that nobody listened, it's that asswipe politicians, those you are so fond of, didn't listen.

John Paulson made $3.7 Billion off the affair. I think that it's safe to say that at least somebody listened.



This is like saying that if some asswipe bought a stock at over 156% of net asset value, or somebody voted for any politician, or somebody actually bought a CDO, then all are worth it, all is valid, because nobody would have done that otherwise.

There were more than a few economists, more than a few financial experts, more than a few none-of-the-above that were sounding the warning bells from 2004-05 onwards.

Nouriel Roubini warned about it, Andrew Smithers and others pointed out the serious over-valuation, Joseph Stiglitz warned about the asset bubble, Robert Shiller warned about it, all ringing bells loudly. Many more than that, but just off the top of my head.


Your crowd, the political crowd, had no use for what they were saying.

Sucks to be you, all I can say.

Nothing will make this economy grow by that amount in any year, and you can quote me on that. The fastest growing emerging economies top out at ~ 11%, 7-9% otherwise.

Throwing people like you into the ditch (being as that there are so many drains on society such as yourself) might increase it by .05 to .5 % from wherever we are at the moment, though.


Sucks to be you, all I can say.

You are speaking of the wizardry and horseshit of 'economists' on a political board.

Even politics is economy, it isn't about the flanders fields.

Lloyd Blankfein and Goldman were doing "God's work," don't you know.

Do not mistake your one-to-one dead-on understanding and fanatical commisseration with von Mises as my having any consideration whatsoever for "rape me, now!" Rand.

My point is... those who were supposed to be watching the economy were only watching their own wallets... on both sides of the fence. To insist some are to blame, while holding others up as gods, is pretty stupid. And when you find one that is always supporting one side over the other... take it with a grain of salt... and a money counter.

I didn't realize that bringing to attention those that knew what they were talking about constituted "holding them up as gods."

My point, and the point of those more knowledgeable on the subject than I, is that politics swamped everything else, and now we are suffering the consequences.

The media have done their job well, and so now we are in the midst of a blame-the-victim party.

Please, don't attend.

Having demonstrated overwhelmingly, your inability to pour piss out of a boot, and my never having read Von Mises, would make you the world champion felcher, Von Felcher.

And that perpetuates the problem.

The knowledgeable spoke, the politicians ignored, and so now you blame everybody.

As said, the media have done their job well.

The still call knapsacks kits in the military.

So it is kit and caboodle to him.

a caboodle is an alliteration of boodle, which we have further alliterated to booty.

It means 'the lot' which the English use more than caboodle (why is that?  I am asking the whole bloody lot of you), or a group of people particularly if you are an NCO.  LOL.
