Did every Human being who possesses a Fringe Leftist Mentality fail Economics 101 in High School?

Update:

@Keith

"Never took economics"

Really? Thanks for stating the obvious.

Update 2:

@Stella

"101" is a designation which can be given in a High School or College elective.

Update 3:

@Felonious

I'll take the Grammar Police charade as confirmation of your Failure, Sir.

Update 4:

@Felonious

I capitalize words I believe should be capitalized in order to emphasize the main point of my argument, among the words in an English statement which should be Capitalized.

In other words, I live in a Free Country, and I follow Laws.

I don't know about you.

    Economics wasn't an elective when I went to high school, you had to take it, and I passed.

    Interestingly we didn't have to learn trickle down back then, in the dark ages, it hadn't been popular then, or maybe not even thought of.

    What we learned was so far from the 'left' that you'd be shocked, it was almost all pure capitalism.

    If you live in a free country, and follow laws, then that includes the ones you don't like, as well as the ones you agree with. But unfortunately for you , when you decide what is and isn't proper English then those who are familiar with those rules just think you don't know them and that's not the impression you would wish to give if you are going to put down others for their perceived ignorance according to your lights of course.

    No because Economics 101 is a college class. That is part of the 45 units of college economics I have. Most of my classmates leaned to the left.

    It have been Conservatives who have been wrong about every single prediction they made. There is no out of control inflation, exploding interest rates, or economic growth via fiscal consolidation during a liquidity trap. Even after years of being wrong, Cons are still touting this nonsense, along with abolishing the Fed and going back to a gold standard, in which every sane economist laughs at.

    Cons still don't understand that the main problem with our economy is an AD deficiency problem, not because the rich are paying too many taxes or we have too many regulations.

    101 would be a college course I think. Don't know what a fringe leftist is so really can't answer. Does the fringe live in a trailer on the edge of town? Or maybe a van down by the river?

    No, but i am sure Calvin Coolage and Herbert Hoover and George W. Bush know nothing about economics.

    So, you're stating that US economic performance is so excellent? And that we can't figure it out? LOL...

    This is how US Bankster Wall Street works…

    Stock market “losses” (whether “recessionary”) are scammed exclusively out of US working class pension funds -- funds which had paid premiums for stocks in the recent past (at that time stocks which bought at premium FROM US Banksters, since US Banksters conveniently “manage” US working class pension funds). Later, US Banksters force-buy them back from US working class pensions at bargain rate -- and take massive capital gains in the cycle (you'll see the US Bankster corporate gains publicly reported and bragged on soon after) (the “capital gains,” according to US richclass legal industrial complex law dictate, are not really gains, and are therefore taxed at an extremely low, atypical tax rate for so-called “non-income”).

    US richclass held corporations “mass cleanse” and lay off US working class staff on a parallel with stock market “losses,” and redirect those salaries up to US richclass owners and executives. Unemployed US working class homes are in concert repossessed by US richclass banksters, and real estate markets are purged to revamp conglomerate profit schemes (off of US working class suckers).

    Then the cycle is replayed, replayed, and replayed (decade by decade -- no US working class catch on forever).

    For this “market correction” or “recessionary” rip-off to occur, some effectively proven, fear-inducing announcement is released (in the case of August 2011, a credit rating “drop” -- although there are a thousand such fear-mongering, scamming public announcements).

    The losers - as always in the cyclical scam - are US working class. US Richclass wins, as always, stealing hundreds of billions from US working class pension funds and real estate holdings through this “recessionary” scam.

    As for my GPA, you'll be able to generally estimate it now.

    Abraham Lincoln Quotes on Liberty

    "We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word many mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny."

    Translation:

    Democrats get what they want by preying on other people and taking the results of their work by confiscation without fair compensation.

    Republicans get what they want by working for it. Then Democrats take it from them.

    It's still as true today as it was then.

    The Democratic Party has always been the party of criminals, parasites, tyrants, and vile miscreants. Ever since the days of slavery and the KKK.
