Re: protest thinking - universities are dying

jim twist #140 Guiliani has? ?recently done his best to tarnish what was a stellar career,? I expect that his role in carrying out Trump's unlawful bidding will become fully proven and exposed as time goes by. As to the draft , not sure of what the particulars of your case was, but I was born in 1957. Thee war ended just prior to highschool graduation in 1975 and there was no draft that year , although there was registration.?

Pure monetarism and pure Keynesianism can fail, and there does come a point where additional taxes have negative returns, just like raising prices doesn't always result in more revenue.? Also, Friedman won the Nobel Prize in Economics. ?(He might also be the reason neither of us got drafted, since that was one policy that he opposed.) As for Giuliani, I don't know what you're referring to, but he was a great US Attorney who took on the mafia, and a great mayor of NYC who cleaned up the city and the subways, reclaimed Times Square from the sex clubs, and dropped the crime rate.? Basically, he cleaned up the mess of David Dinkins, who was one of the worst mayors since Tammany Hall.? Giuliani?also did a great job in getting the city through 9/11.

It doesn't work. It 's practice is what gave Karl Marx so much traction.? The synthesis , what conservatives deride as socialism , is essentially what we experienced during the FDR administration. To oversimplify , allowing just enough of socialism into a? heavily leaning capitalist mix? in order to calm the extremes of capitalism and generally raising the quality of life for all and actually making capitalism that much more sustainable and accessible.? Of course academics can be dead wrong , as examples I submit Arthur Laffer and Milton Friedman . Lwyers can be dead wrong I submit Rudy Giuliani. Yet? I was speaking of the aggregate . BTW I find it disturbing that on this forum , I have seen poet Amanda Gorman scorned and gunman Kylr Rittenhouse defended.?

But you have given me a possible answer to my own question... and that is the reason universities have been taken over by liberals is because they no longer teach anything that's true.? So it's the exact opposite of your thinking,? The universities have been taken over by the ignorant who instead of knowing "real stuff" only know the line of BS the left pedals and they "teach" their ignorance to each new class.? Anyone with eyes can look at the world and see which models of society have both the most freedom and the most wealth.? Hint, it's not the socialist and communist ones.? Yet the universities continue to push for more socialism and communism and try to shut out anyone who would try to speak to the benefits of freedom and capitalism.
