Who still babbles about socialism?
People like you by the looks of it.

It's always "but that's not really socialism"
If you want to put a label on something then define it, you appear to be another one of those .... who think everything they don't like or don't get is socialism.

But who am I to try to destroy your faith in Santa Claus, your unshakable belief that just one more five year plan, just one more tiny adjustment to the mixture will finally make lead turn into gold?
Well obviously you are completely the wrong person:88)
What is this unshakable belief you rant about and what do you think it is faith in?
This topic was funny enough as it was, but you have now pushed up the hilarity factor by a huge measure, well done:woot:

I've had quite enough of that.
Have you got the faintest idea what you are going on about?

Still you were quite right when you wrote ....

The problem there AVG is that infrastructure can cover most projects one way or another and "shovel ready" is a very flexible term, however only $476 billion is allocated for that slice not the $1.3 trillion sky mentions
Look on the bright side on the bigger number, its a running deficit reduction of $100 billion with a projection of a surplus next budget(who knows, it may even happen)
I'm all for infrastructure restoration/renewal truth be told. But you are correct, "shovel ready and infrastructure are broad terms with broader definitions. The sad reality is the money allocated will not be used for infrastructure. If you are familiar with the Social Security funds you are also familiar these funds go to anything but Social Security. This activity happens at the local level as well. The Gov of Maryland wants to raise gas tax .15 cents/gallon over three years for the road repair/renewal fund. Well wait a minute. There is a fund already that has plenty of funds for roads. Where did the money go? Ummmm.....raided once again.....:88) Funds are constantly raided, moved, and absconded all the time. :shifty:

Why is it then that the professors, people with high education, long career and obvious accomplishments since they have been appointed professors from all the doctors out there on their fields, tend to be leaning left?


Easy, most professors are "theory people", they have little to no real world experience with the things they advocate or teach, especially those teaching things such as political science, economics etc. Many Profs tend to get caught in their own little bubble and not understand how things work.I mean it is a nice gig once you have tenure, and even a professor at a community college makes decent money with some perks, so imagine at a major university. People like Barack Obama are a perfect example, Obama has never worked in the real economy, he went from law school to some firm for a little while, taught constitutional law(which is scary, someone like him could teach that course) as far as I can tell his only job after was that of a "community organizer" which is pretty much a joke.Then he entered politics but really did not do much while there, both in IL and the US Senate before managing to finagle his way to the white house.

Since academia is dominated by liberals who spew their nonsense on impressionable students, it kind of becomes a self perpetuating cycle, indoctrinate as many as possible, they become liberally inclined but that is why most people become more conservative, especially economically, as they age because they come to understand that left wing economic theory is just crap and does not work in the real world.I laugh at many of my friends from undergrad who were far left but have moved away since we are what two years out of undergrad and they are working(if can actually find a job in this economy) and are finding out how things work, about taxes etc.Favorite case of this is a friend is a bit older than me, he went to Dental School and is now an Orthodontist, he was quickly turned his crazy left wing economic views around seeing his tax rate, it is quite amusing.I would most likely be one of the theory people currently but growing up, I watched my father build a small three man operation into a successful business, put things in perspective for me from a fairly young age.

So in summation, there is the theory world and the real world.Theory world is great, nothing better than an education as it helps you advance yourself in many ways as a human being BUT one must understand the real world.

Stealhead 02-13-12 04:08 PM

So if "Theory world is great, nothing better than an education as it helps you advance yourself in many ways as a human being BUT one must understand the real world." Would it not be a good thing that academia are mostly leftist that way the the few that better understand the real world will in the end be a benefit to the few that are not fooled by the nonsense?

How does one understand the real world?Am I in the real world or a theory world?How dose one know?

mookiemookie 02-13-12 04:14 PM

I find it absolutely hilarious that the best argument the righties can come up with is that "the lefties only have theories that don't work in real life practice!" and yet they cling to the discredited ideology of trickle down economics and tax cuts for the rich as being good for the economy.

"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

Face it. Both parties have a very poor understanding of economics.

As far as hardcore capitalism i should say it works that way.:haha:

I have quite a bit of 'real world' experience in my field. So do almost all of my colleagues.

EDIT: Yes, I misspelled field. And I have a doctorate. Go me.

Stealhead 02-13-12 04:24 PM

"Face it. Both parties have a very poor understanding of economics."


Or the real world for that matter.


"I have quite a bit of 'real world' experience in my field. So do almost all of my colleagues."

In leftist pinko-commie leftist leanings and of implanting them into the minds of young impressionable students according to Bubblehead a person who "understands how the real world works" Bubblehead should enlighten us all with this knowledge that he has of the real world.I am rather curious because I am pretty certain that I have been in the "real world" for some time yet I do not agree with most anything that he has said.He most likely thinks that I am a pinko-commie and I do admit that I did once while in Italy get invited to eat with a group of pinko-commie farmers they wanted to speak with someone in the American military and see what my world was like compared to their theory world they had just theoretically gathered up their harvest they made a good choice because I am not a Democrat nor am I leftist of course I am not right wing either.The theoretical food was rather delicious and everyone seemed theoretically very happy.

Favorite case of this is a friend is a bit older than me, he went to Dental School
Its Obamas secret army of nazi dentists:har:

i wonder as bubbles is an expert on law what the careers of the average faculty member teaching at law school would cover.
Wouild they perhaps be people who worked in law before they became teachers, would they perhaps be people who still work in law even though they are teachers.
Maybe bubbles in his wisdom can do a brief resume of his typical know nothing indoctrinatinfg professors which he would have trouble convincing that the piece of crap he opened with is "spot on".

CCIP 02-13-12 05:26 PM

I also love that old joke about "people becoming conservative as the age/gain real-life experience." Got any numbers to back that up? Always seems to come down to somebody's mythical dentist friend who, like those mythical commie professors, is proof to everything.

Stealhead 02-13-12 05:31 PM

I like how he calls his dentist friend his favorite case.You see Bubblehead is going to make a career of re-educating pinko-left wing commies and showing them how the real world works
making them functional members of society when he is done with you you will no longer have your pink underwear for you will no lodger be "pink right down to your underwear" as Richard Nixon said of his opponent during his 1950 senate run.Bubblehead must really like George Wallace he was always on about pseudo-pinko-intellectuals.

I like how he thinks every successful businessman must be right wing conservative.

Well he wouldn't have the face to refer to his legal buddies at work again would he...or maybe he would try that line of bull again:rotfl2:

Hey hey hey hey hey hey.

Leave Nixon out of this.
