CUNY TV Special: Senator Elizabeth Warren and Paul Krugman in Conversation

[@IJAbraham]

I truly love that woman, Elizabeth Warren. I have never heard a more decent person talk about protecting and providing for the well-being of others. Disclaimer: I hate no one.

[@64slugirl]

WOW... At 1:00 space, listen to this real lady orator speak wisdom and truth. None other like her mind, ability and zeal. Thank you, Elizabeth Warren....stay with us !

[@jackbauer9220]

Agree, she is awesome. Think of how many issues would be fixed if we had a congress full of people like her.

[@64slugirl]

7/9/16.I wish she would stay in Senate and not follow HRC's "carrot". Senate where EW is effective. Have you noticed how everyone who must "deal" with HRC eventually gets tarnished with public scrutiny and public's loss of confidence? i.e. the AG, Dir. Comey.......Hate to see EW lose anything.

[@mikegoss1231]

I've spent most of my life in academia. That said, I think we should not build the next aircraft carrier, and pay for every student tuition for the next ten years. (Call me crazy?)

[@jarvisnc4851]

Mike Goss It's a noble sentiment, and I agree in principle. As for the arithmetic: Cost of the USS George H.W. Bush (commissioned in 2009): $6.2 billion [source: AP] Number of post-secondary students in the US (as of 2011): 21 million [source: Nat'l Center for Education Statistics] $6.2 bil. divided by 21 mil. students gives us about $300 per student, so dropping the next carrier doesn't quite offset the cost of 10 years' tuition, I'm afraid. My very roughest estimate (ballparking 25 mil. students at $8k/yr) is that it would probably take something like $2 tril. to do that - assuming we didn't get a discount for the bulk-purchase, of course ;). It's a big number, but incidentally it's about the same amount as the revenue lost by the Bush tax cuts in the years before the depression started. [source: New York Times, 2011] Food for thought...

[@mikegoss1231]

It also costs money to run these ships and stock them with f-14 15's as well as payroll for the crewmen. That said......my point is that no one is talking about the fact that we don't need 12 more aircraft carriers, and that tuition is going up exponentially. We really need to grow up and be adults. There are some serious problems out there, mainly due to fiscal irresponsibility and showmanship. What sucks is that even if I had answers, which I don't.... would never be heard.

[@jarvisnc4851]

Mike Goss That's a good point; I hadn't considered running costs and such. And to be clear, I fully agree that spending on students would be a much better investment than next-gen supercarriers in terms of our long-run prosperity and security. Again, the size of those gratuitous tax cuts Dubya left us sure puts a lot of things in perspective. How many problems could we have solved, how many lives could we have improved if we'd managed to collect that revenue in the '00s?

Been watching some archived videos of Warren to see how her politics have evolved, and basically, she's consistently been a devoted advocate of the middle class no matter how far back you look. She's always been dedicated to helping others, especially those on the margins. But honestly, the thing that struck me the most watching this video is how REFRESHING it felt to hear no mention whatsoever of tRump. GOD THAT FEELS GOOD!

"Cynicism is cheap," is my favorite quote from Elizabeth Warren, here. "Does Democracy devolve* over time, or is it how we define ourselves, together." Be part of the solution. Let's all do the work of learning more, sometimes, instead of always spouting off, cynically. It's hard to lose the need for big-ego gratification and just help with something. But, it feels great, to feel needed, helpful. Go to a political meeting and then read a lot about the issues, not one side. Love this world enough to show it some appreciation. No matter how hard one has it, someone actually has it harder; so you could commiserate, HELP them. That counts, too! *devolve: degenerate, split into, go down hill (not word's first meaning.)

[@SIMKINETICS]

Some pundits posit that FDR saved capitalism. He was from the upper-class, so he understood that some super-rich people realized that social unrest could destroy the system if the working classes didn't get some relief from the Great Depression. In his presidency, he knew that certain regulation of the finance industry was the only way of preventing a total collapse of the economy or repeat of another deep boom-and-bust cycle. The fact that the economy was in the doldrums 'til WW2 must be compared with worse prospects that may have been likely otherwise. FDR's attitude was to try different programs to find out what did & didn't work; he was challenged with a threat so great that no one had a solution that could come from any historical experience. He made some mistakes along the way, but the people were generally behind him. New Deal policies were still in place during the 50's and 60's when the economy was humming, and the middle-class swelled with more affluence than their American ancestors ever experienced. Maybe some of the socialistic edge had worn off by the 70's, but the conservative backlash has gone way too far since then. Most modern, first-world countries have some combination of capitalism & socialism that works to various degrees. America may have found a good balance after the war, as evidenced by a relatively peaceful & prosperous era that was also more equitable. The production demands of WW2 produced a 'must-do' attitude that transformed into a 'can-do' attitude after the war, and the growing middle-class became healthy again. Perhaps we shouldn't ignore history... We might need a kick-start again, but let it not be war.

[@TheRoland444]

Well said

[@vinista256]

In the words of Karl Marx, history repeats itself, "the first as tragedy, then as farce." The conservative backlash led by Reagan, with its dismantling of the social safety net and its nihilistic attitude toward checking the power of monied interests, was the tragedy that set us on the path to becoming a banana republic. Forty years later, its logical conclusion is the farce that is Donald Trump.

[@FactChecking101]

Has Paul Krugman ever been right about anything?!? Remember when he was telling us the housing market wouldn't collapse by giving away loans to unqualified people? Those were the days, yes?

[@jarvisnc4851]

"Mind the Gap" by Paul Krugman, NY Times 16 Aug 2002: "More and more people are using the B-word about the housing market. A recent analysis by Dean Baker, of the Center for Economic Policy Research, makes a particularly compelling case for a housing bubble. House prices have run well ahead of rents, suggesting that people are now buying houses for speculation rather than merely for shelter. And the explanations one hears for those high prices sound more and more like the rationalizations one heard for Nasdaq 5,000. If we do have a housing bubble, and it bursts, we'll be looking a lot too Japanese for comfort." I hope you appreciate the irony, FactChecking101

[@EdwardDuhaime]

Paul Krugman has been right about a number of things., i.e....the effect of austerity....the lack of predicted inflation among other things.

[@M4ttNet]

Edward Duhaime This is a perfect example of the discourse... Krugman who backs up claims with data and admits when he's wrong get's criticized by someone named "FactChecking101" who makes an easily disproved claim by using rudimentary fact checking. This is why we can't have nice things in the US! Where Romney could campaign against Obamacare when it was a copy of Romneycare, where conservatives can rally against the individual mandate *when they came up with the damn idea in Romneycare and defended it*! Basically *ridiculous* arguments are made by people who don't have even a basic understanding of the simplest data related to the discussion, yet they challenge the legitimacy of those that reference data and reference history. Again this is why we can't have nice things in the US, like universal healthcare.

[@DucksDeLucks]

***** It has trickled down then to where everyone is doing it. When you start every sentence with 'so' you destroy the benefit of starting sentences with it when there is a genuine connection to the preceding sentence or discussion. 'So' means 'therefore' or 'given what has come before'.

The elephant in the room is the COST OF TUITION and books. Why does it cost so much to educate students today, when it cost $50 a semester to educate this brilliant woman?

However, sometimes intellect is not always everything we are made up of. I see the audience is not really feeling what Elizabeth Warren is talking about. It definitely takes everything we are made of to understand that we are all in the same position. What is more important Kenneth is that it is the rich who are taking from everyone except the rich. Just as, when the new comers who first came to this continent to steal the resources from the tribes who originally lived here. Now everyone is in this position, except the 1% and possibly paid politicians.

[@JamesRushingRewardBeauty]

Nicholas Halsey Nicholas, wealth is not a zero-sum game. Do you really believe that many people have to be poor for one man to be rich. We can all be rich. Wealth comes from creating and producing products. Products consumers need and will buy are infinite. The 1% can never control the market and the demand for innovation and invention. Consumer power is the final determination for who thrives and who dies away. Vote with your dollar to change the world. Vote Rand

[@jarvisnc]

53:56 - Krugman: "The market is a great thing; it is not a source of justice and morality. The income that somebody happens to receive from the market - fine, we're okay with that - but that is not necessarily the final word on what that person is entitled to. People who, for whatever reason, aren't able to make a lot of money on the market are still - if they are citizens of the United States - entitled to a decent life." A challenge to conservatives: Is that statement wrong? If so, please explain why.

[@brotherted]

jarvisnc "Entitled" to a decent life? If someone is entitled to be given something, then who's required, coerced or enslaved to do the giving? (At the point of a gun, by the way.) That's the funny thing about entitling people to free stuff -- it has unintended consequences. The safety nets very quickly become hammocks. In the 1960s the federal government decided the poor were *entitled* to a home, so they build giant housing projects in every city in America. Instantly, all the housing projects filled up completely, and a miniscule percentage of people ever moved out, decade after decade after decade. The projects became magnets for gangs, drugs, prostitution. Because single mothers were given higher priority to get the apartments, millions of teenage girls realized that if they got pregnant, they could get their own apartment -- causing many to interpret unwed pregnancy, literally, as a form of upward mobility. It's simple human psychology -- when you lessen the human suffering associated with bad decisions -- because most of us hate to see human suffering -- more people end up making bad decisions, once there's less to fear.

[@jmitterii2]

brotherted Strawman that you are being forced as a slave. If you don't have the percentage of income, you don't pay that much in taxes. If you do, you earned that money in society, not in outer space or in some hyperspace continuum. We all pay our share of taxes in a progressive tax system. The more you make per year each amount higher you pay just a littler more in that income above such amount. Because all goods and services become a smaller proportion of your annual income as well as a smaller percentage of your total life's income. The more you make the more you're able to contribute to assist others. And again, if you've earned lots of money, that earning didn't appear from just you, it came from society at large to allow markets, provide justice and property rights, that provided transportation, utilities, educated workforce and consumers to buy your stuff in the first place. And you're fallacy on the slippery slope. You're essentially stating ensuring someone decent lively-hood will lead them to make poor decisions. That's not necessarily true at all as well as a hasty generalization. In fact, a false dichatomy as such slippery slope could actually create more possibilities for such people as they now have enough to save and invest in education, real-estate, a business, etc. As it is, most people are apathetic, spend more money on lottery tickets as they feel everything is stacked against them. So its not just simple "human psychology" its bullshit you yanked out of your ass. Human psychology is anything, but simple. You're making the same arguments the monarchies and lords made during hereditary and theocratic rule: the masses aren't capable of making good choices unless they suffer as Jesus did LOL! If they don't know their place, they'll never work to achieve success for themselves, king, and country. (mostly the king part, and all the nobles of the courts). And you can't use the slippery slope or straw man that's not being presented that implies we're giving something for absolute nothing. People are working 2 or more jobs and barely scraping by. They're beyond being lazy. Work is still being conducted. You're completely out of touch with reality just as the monarchs and other aristocracies of other ages, and didn't realize it until they found themselves out of power in some civil war or murdered by the very angry mob that finally feels they've been shit on enough.

[@jarvisnc]

At the risk of building myself a straw-man, I have a theory: I think some people (such as you, brotherted) believe that money is distributed directly by God to reward the virtuous and punish the wicked, that wealth *always* comes from righteousness and hard work, and that poverty is *always* caused by sin and sloth. Is that what you believe? Because if you do believe that, then I could possibly understand why you'd think financial destitution and housing insecurity is an appropriate punishment for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. That would also explain why you'd cringe at the thought that a portion of your income should be taxed to make life less cruel and painful for the less-fortunate around you. After all, if God wanted those people to have adequate food, shelter, and medicine, he'd have done it himself, right? But if you didn't believe that; if you understood that money is an imperfect social convenience that has to be managed among human beings, that your brothers and sisters often come to wealth and poverty through circumstances they can't fully control, and that it's wrong to deliberately punish children for the ill fortunes of their parents... if you understood that, well, you'd just be a fucking monster. Also, "enslaved?" Unless you're writing from North Korea, your citizenship in your society is completely voluntary. If you feel "enslaved" by your society because it taxes you to help poor people, leave.

[@brotherted]

jarvisnc I believe that good behavior "always" leads to good outcomes probably as much as you believe it's "totally uncorrelated" to good outcomes. Either would be a straw man argument, indeed. The problem is the more we disconnect rewards in society to sound decisions and hard work, and similarly the more we disconnect bad consequences from reckless life decisions, the more you'll pervert incentives. Urban federal housing projects are a perfect microcosm to study whether incentives affect behavior. The reality is that anyone given an apartment in a federal housing project gets to life there for life, and by account, it nearly always fosters a culture of dependency -- it's not even an argument -- just examine the turnover rates in federal housing. Only a tiny percentage uses it as a temporary support before getting a job, regular apartment and supporting themselves. The "safety net" becomes a lifelong hammock for the great majority. Some do inherit money, but if those beneficiaries truly embody rich kid, lazy playboys, they tend to squander the family wealth in no time. There's an old expression that captures this beautifully, "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations." It's still true. We'll soon see if I'm right. A looming demographic crisis in America will present fewer and fewer workers to pay the bills for more and more on entitlements (both old and young). Every politician will have to promise ever-higher entitlements or be voted out, and people like Warren will be quick to grow the welfare state endlessly in every direction, which will be popular. Productive people will become ever-more demonized as profiting "on the backs" of others. French Revolution-type militant unrest here we come.

arozbayani According to the prize Committee, the prize was given "for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity." www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economic-sciences/laureates/2008/press.html If there's something you think he's wrong about, could you perhaps tell us what that is, and why you think so? If all you do is name-calling, throwing around the word "ignorant" isn't going to reflect well on you.

[@jarvisnc]

arozbayani Thanks for replying. The short version: No, your response is not "sufficient enough." I'm glad we're now talking in terms of ideas rather than smears, but you're wrong on every point you've tried to make. The long version: On spending: He's right to call for gov't deficit spending in a depression. Remember, money is a closed system; it's not manna falling from heaven. My spending is your income, and vice versa. If we both decide to sharply cut our spending at the same time (as lots of people have since the bubble burst) we're both worse-off because both our incomes go down, so we'll both spend even less, and so on... That's the basic meaning of an economic depression. The way out of this trap is for some major player, such as the gov't, to deliberately spend more for a while until the engine is running properly again. On creating the housing bubble: If you go to his NYTimes article "Dubya's Double Dip?" in Aug-2002, you'll see that statement is clearly tongue-in-cheek; it's a swipe at Alan Greenspan's willingness to tolerate the stock bubble. Also, it's not even Krugman's joke; in the article he attributes it to Paul McCulley at Pimco. Then, two weeks later, Krugman starts earnestly warning about the possibility of a runaway housing bubble in "Mind the Gap." www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/when-someone-says-paul-krugman-called-for-greenspan-to-create-a-housing-bubble-back-in-2002-they-are-trying-to-say-that-they-are-either-a-fool-or-a-liar On Enron: In his own words, "In early 1999 I was asked to serve on a panel that offered Enron executives briefings on economic and political issues. As far as I knew at the time, they genuinely wanted to learn something. I resigned from that board in the fall of 1999, when I accepted an offer to write for the New York Times." www.pkarchive.org/personal/EnronFAQ.html On Estonia: In Jun-2012, he wrote a 67-word blog post showing evidence that their policies aren't working as advertised. If the Estonian president wants to shoot the messenger, that's a mark against Mr. Ilves, not Prof. Krugman. krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/estonian-rhapsdoy/?_r=0 As for your treatment of progressives / liberal agenda / de Blasio, I'm sad to see you've just gone back to name-calling, so there's nothing I can do to help you there, my friend. If you can tell us why you think they're wrong, that would be much more productive.

[@TheGrasspond]

jarvisnc Of course fiscal policy is needed to balance the economy. The question is where is the balance. I doubt even the most liberal economist would disagree that gov't (particularly large central) is not efficient at the allocation of resources. So they need to jump in but has Obama gone too far (i.e. fed deficit). I believe he has but time will tell. All eyes on Japan as they implement abenomics--policy I believe Krugman is in favor of. So far so bad.

[@jarvisnc]

TheGrasspond Why would the nat'l deficit tell us whether the economy is still depressed? Shouldn't we be looking for a broadly-distributed rise in employment, wages, and prices to indicate that the engine is firing on all cylinders again?

[@MaryShinabarger]

darn it~ I really liked what she said until her opinion about the Hobby Lobby case. The HL was balking at paying for killing babies, NOT so much about "birth control" - but about using abortion as a "birth control". It is their belief that abortion is killing a child, it takes the life of a fetus. 1) Any decent doctor will tell you the damages an abortion can do to a reproductive system. So to use it as a birth control especially more than once or twice is not advised. Literature women are given when having abortion state this clearly. So Maybe the Issue is NOT about Not paying for birth control, but about lumping abortion in with other forms pf birth control. 2) Just about every single women I know (I can't think of one this isn't true for) has some emotional issues over the abortion - especially if it is multiple abortions. Guilt, regret, etc. There actually are support groups for women who have had abortions and can no longer live silently with the pain of aborting their child. Why is this never an issue brought up? Why is the issue that the "Roe" in Roe vs Wade is Against abortion?

I have question for the educational Elites. Why is price of college inflation 500% above the consumer price paid index. LOL No "wonder" a lot of students are going broke to go to college.

[@jesseandjan]

Thank that's is high Please read this.I will tell you what the 1% don't want you to know. I am 77 years old. In 1960 I was 21 years old working as a roofer making $31.65 a day gross. We had our first child. I can not recall what the hospital cost was. I will tell you we had no medical insurance. I do recall what the doctor charge was. It cost us $35.00 for all the doctor calls + the deliver of the baby. Now if you will look close at what I took home and the doctor cost you will see it is very close. Now call up on the internet what the roofer pay is now in San Diego Calif. I will bet you could not even come close to what that cost is today. I called up roofer wage in San Diego Calf on google and it give me $35.67 per hour or $285.36 per day. Now if you are good at math you will find out that would mean in San Diego Calf today all the doctor calls + the deliver of a baby would cost a person $315.56. I would bet you could not even make a office call for that today. Also you have to keep in mind we paid less present on fed and state tax then.Now call up on google what they taxed one million dollars for in 1950? Yes it was 90% that meant you got to keep one hundred thousand dollars. That would make Trump paying 90% taxes. Hell him or Clinton pay about 35% if that. Now would you like to see what minimum wage was like in Yakima Wash? We moved to Yakima in 1963. I was married at that time with a wife and 2 children. My wife did not work. I know in todays world one would have to put the wife to work + the 2 and 3 year old babies. I worked as what they called a fruit tramp in the orchards making $1.25 per hour minimum wage. We bought a house for $3,500 for nothing down. Payments were $50.00 per month and we rented the small house in back for $35.00 per month leaving us with a house payment of $15.00 a month. We had a 10 year old ford, washer and dyer and a big 21 inch t.v all the things we needed for a house. So now lets look at the world of today. Today that same house in Yakima would go for about $150,000 and minimum wage in the state of wash is $9.47 per hour. So what would you or I have to make as minimum wage to buy that same house today as I did in 1963? $12.00? $15.00? Maybe even $20.00 per hour. Again if you do the math you would find you would have to make $53.57 per hour. Sad but true. Now if you think i am some kind of nut. Go to google and call up what a house cost you in Yakima, Washington in 1963. You will find it will be about $2,500 to $5,000 You will also find I am telling you the truth about minimum wage. So before you start calling this old 77 year old man crazy as hell. Do the google search first. You will find he is not that crazy. Do this before our good government shuts down the internet. FROM OUR BLIND PEOPLE TODAY'. WOW DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS SANDERS WANTS TO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $15.00 PER HOUR THANK YOU LORD AS NOW WE CAN BUY A TENT TO LIVE IN AND JUST MAYBE THE STATE WILL GIVE US OUR KIDS BACK. May God bless each and ever one of you.

[@brotherted]

This is the mirror image of Fox News -- assemble like-minded guests with a like-minded interviewer, have them speak before a like-minded audience and pose softball questions that don't challenge their thinking. And so, "If increasing the minimum wage to $15/hour won't kill jobs, what's the wage rate at which it actually would kill jobs, and how would you know that wage rate in advance of mandating it?" does not get asked. And a question like, "When you say there's a bill called 'Not My Employer's Business' and endorse the title -- isn't my employer being forced to pay for something completely different than my employer *knowing about* whether I pay for it myself?" doesn't appear. And if you expect, "Senator Warren, you give the example of too much paperwork for credit card applications that consumers can't understand. What about small business entrepreneurs? Are you less sympathetic about the local, state and federal regulations they must master before they can create jobs? Can *that* paperwork be too onerous too?" -- not a peep. It all shows that CUNY lefties and Fox News viewers have more in common than they think. They like to be reassured that they're right.

[@jmitterii2]

brotherted Google some of the various research on the subject. Economists actually have ranges for too high of a min wage. And in fact, some have various differentials for age groups as well so that it doesn't harm younger workers by allowing their min wage to be lower than someone with more experience. Like in Australia. Economist while a very clumsy science like meteorology is in fact a science. The data and analysis are available. A properly maintained min wage does help stimulate the economy and provides a virtuous growing economy that allows more people to have higher standards of living. And of course there are limits to how high such min wage should be before unemployment rate increase becomes a factor.

[@brotherted]

jmitterii2 This is subjective political philosophy dressed up as objective science. While establishment economists very much enjoy ensconcing themselves in talk of elaborate "models" and academic projections, none of that brilliance led a majority of them to predict even the very biggest economic collapses in American history, e.g. 2007, 1929, etc. The most highly lauded Ivy League economists like Alan Greenspan, in fact, claimed the growth in derivatives trading had reduced risk when the opposite was true. It's kabuki theater. You can believe it all if you like. In fact, it's all self-serving to a constituency who just so happens to delight in the political policies that the "science" coincidentally recommends.

Just think about how a simple law like that would change things.

[@jarvisnc4851]

Chris Tindall That's a pretty un-democratic proposition! Who gets to decide whether the economy is better or worse? Also, the strength of the economy right before an election is already one of the best predictors of whether an incumbent party stays or goes, so we effectively have your system anyway.

[@c.t.2152]

I don't think you live in this country or are not paying attention she mentions the koch brothers briefly but if you don't know what they are doing you should look it up if we had a law like that bush would not have had a second term and congress would look completely different right now !

[@jarvisnc4851]

Chris Tindall I *do* live in the US, and I'm not happy either with the oversized influence of Koch, Coors, Scaife, Olin, etc. First, I don't see how your new law would do anything to curb their power, how hard would it be for them to "hire" a new candidate? And second, if there's a law to restrict re-election based on the economy, the next question is: Who gets to decide whether the economy is better or not? It's not always obvious, depending on what things you measure and how you weight them. And then, whomever we trust to tell us about the economy becomes an instant kingmaker! I hope you can see why that would make our system less democratic. I absolutely share your frustration about our gargantuan war budget, and about the infiltration of big-money into politics; I just think you haven't fully thought-out your idea, that's all.

[@c.t.2152]

First all the indicators we use now U.E,GDP.debt to income. Ect Ect. And what it would do is force them into preventing a crash there would be regulation on the banks not De-regulation even the greedy pricks would have to concede that if they want their shill to remain in office there is a limit to what they can ask them to do.

[@jarvisnc4851]

I don't see how your law would force them to be more responsible. If one year we decided nobody could be re-elected, the mega-donors could always put up a new candidate for their old agenda, but if anyone got elected honestly (assuming that still happens) they'd just get shafted. Even if the economy's down, what if I still like my representative? It's just arbitrarily taking a choice away from the voters, and I don't think that makes our democracy stronger. You haven't considered that, "Is the economy better?" isn't a simple question to answer. What if employment is down, but GDP is up? Since there are multiple indicators, some person or group would have to weigh them against each other to come up with an answer. Who gets that job? That's a critical question because whomever we pick to analyze the economy instantly becomes the most powerful force in politics. I don't think that's good for our democracy either.

[@NHLFever1]

Warren's entire approach is basically one giant appeal to emotion. Almost nothing of any substance. Some generalities and pleasantries. Politician..... Krugman is smart as ever, however still doesn't get that printing money hurts savers most, and the richest don't get affected at all since nearly all of their assets are protected from increases in the monetary supply. Also, if inflation doesn't take place (which he always likes to point out), then it's obviously not doing what it is supposed to. Krugman is right that European countries don't have a working underclass. What he fails to see if they just have a non-working underclass instead. How is that better?

[@CGphotoOp]

Appealing to emotion is one of the methods used to persuade. Humans are emotional beings. Why is it a bad thing to appeal to emotion then? Better than using the bible or christianity to appeal to ignorance. And how can you say nothing of substance? How is lowering interest rates for college loans not substance? How is equal pay for equal work not of substance? How is giving women the right to contraceptives not of substance? You're not a woman, so you have no right to say these issues for women are not of substance. Men or government shouldn't decide this. Why are conservatives always shouting for government to stay out of people's lives, yet they believe in controlling a woman's vagina? Pft.

[@NHLFever1]

Those are talking points, not substance. They are akin to 'free puppies for all'. Substance means there is a cohesive argument that considers both the cost and the benefits. Warren doesn't even come close, she just gives a wishlist. She has no clue about the collateral damage her wishlist would do. Arafat as your vagina comment, you just show your own total ignorance. You're not even trying to understand the argument being made. Not even trying. It's just easier for you to imagine some kind of conspiracy about shined than think, IMO. Then throw in some religion for who knows what reason. Typical. Nobody cares about anybody's vagina. What they are upset about is being to forced to pay for consequences of what somebody else does with theirs. There is no reason I should have to pay for your birth control. Planning a family is your choice. Having sex is your choice. Stop asking everybody else to pay the bill for your chosen life path.

[@jarvisnc]

hitops On the talking points/substance: I don't know what video you watched, but I heard Sen. Warren and Prof. Krugman give lots of substantive proposals on their idea of a better and fairer economy. (e.g. enforcement of consumer protection laws, student debt refinancing, minimum-wage increase, equal-pay between genders, reducing the unpredictability of shift-work, etc.) And besides, this wasn't a committee meeting to draft an actual bill, it's just a chance to talk about the issues and share their philosophies. If you think their proposals would cause undue "collateral damage" that they didn't address, could you perhaps tell us what you think that damage might be, and why you think so? If you're right, you're not doing anybody any good if you keep that information to yourself. On issue of the genitals: Contraception is an integral part of a woman's overall healthcare, full stop. It's not just a question of sexuality, it's about every person having the right to regulate their own body chemistry to optimize their overall health. If you don't understand that, you're clearly ignorant of nature of these medicines and the realities of women's biology. Being born with a uterus and ovaries is not a "chosen life path."

The main problem is the monopoly government has on issuing currency. This has led to the endless creation of new money in the form of debt, which is driving prices more than income. Those who are rich have a hedge against the devaluation of the currency by owning hard assets like real estate, land, and a diversified portflio of stocks and debt. If the market was to decide what was money it would settle on something more scarce, like gold, which you can't print endless amounts of, so it would actually retain its value. There wouldn't be endless debt creation because prices wouldn't go up at the rate they do with a FIAT currency. Of course, socialicm will fail in both systems, but capitalism would work well over time if only we had money that could retain its purchasing power.

[@jmitterii2]

storbynatt competitive market principles work well for sectors that abide by or can at ensured to abide by competitive market principles. However, some sectors simply don't work well because they completely violate one or several competitive market principles that allow competitive markets to be more efficient and have more quality than a collective system. Monetary policy in competitive markets or a collective markets really doesn't matter. If you don't take in consideration what sectors work better under competitive or collective markets, any monetary policy whether its fiat currency, gold and silver, sea shells, tally sticks, etc. is doomed to fail.

[@storbynatt]

jmitterii2 health care insurance and education was way more affordable before the US left the gold standard in 1971 which enabled the government to continue the hands on social and economic policies which started in the 1960's.

You bring the student loan down, make it available to whoever wants it, then wonder why there are so many unemployed college graduates. So you stimulate the economy to get more jobs - meanwhile, the industries that produce actual value are taxed, supposedly for their own good, "to educate their future workforce". This tax money (or value stolen by inflation) is diverted from hiring new workers, and slows down the growth of enterprise, thus increasing unemployment.
