A few years back I watched a fascinating movie called A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe. It was about the life of John Nash, a math wiz from Princeton. This guy was a looney at times, no doubt, and even spent time in a mental instutition, nevertheless, some of his mathemetical work produced formulas that have helped labor and trade negotiations, and have been used in economic planning. Maybe nations need to do away with their present lawmakers, and let mathmeticians run our countries. Politics would be more boring, no doubt, but I bet things would run a lot smoother. Now, this isn't going to happen of course, but it's a nice thought! 😉

looney + labor negotitations,
You see the connection?
He was into game theory too, now trying to make that fit humans is some looney doodoo right there. One game involved a number of participants sitting in a circle, each round some tokens were added to a pot, at any time a participant could grab the pot and take the money, cutting out the other players. Or they could choose to let the pot keep growing each round. Of course adjusting the 'rewards' and 'punishments' gave different results, you could shape the game to get the results you were looking for. And the other aspect, the tokens representing wealth came for where? Who earned it, who produced it, probably taxpayer dollars, anyway this 'free' wealth is just another distortion, no wonder the guy went nutso.

You have no idea what economics in the US is all about, do you? It is about extortion and bribery. The US federal government has a printing press in the Fed that throws money to the rich, the middle class, and the poor, as well as internationally. Their goal? Their goal is to get everyone on the doll, so that they have power and influence over them. In the interim, they build a military that is required for world conquest.
The only way to go about this madness is through Keynesian voodoo economics. Just print money and hope that it will spurn enough of the economy to bring you more money. If not, who gives a damn, cause its all monopoly money anyway.
To use any other approach would be to undermine their power over us and the world. Do you really think they will take that approach? We are not talking about beautiful minds here Bill, we are talking about fascists inflating our wealth away while they are not taxing it away.

Obama and company are like that lady on the old sitcom "Bewitched" were you see the neighbor Mrs. Crabitz gazing out her windwow watching everything her neighbors do yelling "Abner, Abner!!", only, Obama has the power to do whatever he wills to us.

"Almost"? Don't let the "Dunning-Kruger effect" get you down. There are likely very few people on here who know as much economics as you do. But they will pontificate nonetheless.
