t private health care no welfare and a very limited central government who is there to defend its borders and settle disputes between citizens who believe that another citizen has violated his rights essentially we re talking about the libertarian utopia after a while the people of this country come to two conclusions the first conclusion is that it is so wildly successful that other countries must implement this sort of government in order to escape tyranny and oppression from their rulers the second conclusion is that it sees that some of the larger countries in the world are a threat to this country because they depend on these countries for resources that they don t have so in the interest of spreading liberty and protecting the supply of foreign resources that they need libertania forms a massive military machine and decides its first target is the united states of america based on the potential military threat they try to get the us government to stand down and offer libertanian style freedoms to its people the us government refuses to budge let s lay aside the apparent contradiction of a libertarian nation using force against another nation for a moment after all it takes flawed people to run a government so libertania decides to invade america they start by executing a bombing campaign on washington dc they expand that by taking out state capitals as well in order to cripple the government and get them to give up their oppressive regulatory and tax schemes and unjust imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of people who are locked up as political prisoners in war on drugs the goal of the libertanian invasion is primarily to secure the best interests of the american people which is a life free from burdensome and intrusive government with the secondary goal if the invasion is successful to have a resource rich liberty minded trading partner by which it can secure vital national resources now we get to the question would you support such an invasion of america based on those goals secondary question would you be willing to dismiss the collateral damage of friends family and colleagues killed in the bombing since it was for your own good in the name of liberty bloviated by difster 10 09 am comments trackback monday february 07 2011 dos cosas two things first obama is trying to tell us that if we re fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top they have to be shared by american workers who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line clearly this is a redistribution scheme he didn t say it should be done through legislation but isn t that was he s really all about years ago he expressed the opinion that the supreme court should have ruled as part of the civil rights hearings that they should have taken a bigger role in the redistribution of wealth the government has been redistributing wealth for years they take it from the middle class and give it to the poor or seemingly poor through social programs and to the rich through bailouts loans tax favors regulations etc the middle class gets screwed and is stuck paying the bills for both sides secondly the mayor of detroit is peddling a program to get cops and firefighters to move back to the city by offering them refurbished houses for 1000 detroit has turned in to a wasteland using the scarce funds they have available to subsidize housing for government employees is a horrible waste also the 47 of police and firefighters who are living in the city and paying rent or mortgages have to keep doing what they re doing how many of these police and firefighters are going to buy these houses rent them to friends and relatives but list it as their home address while maintaining their actual residence outside the city there will be a lot of that the city is dying they should just let it die entire neighborhoods are being abandoned the median home price in the city of detroit is 5700 no that s not missing a zero formerly multi million dollar homes are up for sale at 10 of their original cost skyscrapers downtown are completely abandoned i think at some point in the near future they need to just plow the city under and leave the ground fallow for 7 years and then homestead it again leftist policies destroyed the city let s remake the city as a new experiment in libertarian ideals free from most government restraint a group of billionaires could form a coalition to buy the entire city and privatize it labels economy politics bloviated by difster 3 33 pm comments trackback thursday february 03 2011 license we don t need no stinking license kevin lacy a stupid bureaucrat who is the chief traffic engineer for the state of north carolina lodged a complaint with the n c board of examiners for engineers and surveyors because a computer scientist sent him a justification for installing traffic lights in his neighborhood lacy claims the presentation was so well put together it rises to the level of engineering and it was done without a license keep in mind here that the guy who put together the report does not even claim to be an engineer david cox who wrote the proposal is claiming that lacy is just trying to stifle dissent which seems evident the licensing board has promised to look in to the allegation but said that the worst likely outcome for mr cox would be a letter telling him not to do it again practicing engineering without a license is a misdemeanor in north carolina cox is not employed by anyone as an engineer and had no power to implement his plan on his own how could he possibly be guilty of anything this brings up the larger question of why the state should require professional licenses is it necessary switching to california there are 44 different categories of licensing with different types of licenses in some of those categories just by the department of consumer affairs other agencies handle other types of licenses ranging from real estate to to legal stuff potentially there are several hundred professions that require licensing including their specialties in california why for example are hair dressers required to have a license by the state the answer is simple it limits competition there can be no other reason for it anyone can cut hair i ve even cut my own hair sure it takes some training practice and skill but so does any profession simply put because only licensed cosmetologists can cut hair it drives up the price by limiting competition because not everyone who can cut hair has the resources or desire to spend 1600 hours 200 days of 8 hours each in the classroom just so they can cut hair for a living or a hobby let s say you really like the idea of cutting hair part time to supplement your income are you going to spend about a year of your life in class to do it probably not so let s say we can agree that hair dressers don t really need licenses what about doctors i don t think they need a state license either what if doctors don t have licenses we re going to have a bunch of quacks out there practicing medicine and people will die i can hear the arguments already personally i would not go see a doctor who did not have medical training but i would much rather rely on a private certification agency to determine that my doctor is well trained and does not have too many complaints against him there could even be several competing private certification boards these boards could publish their qualification criteria as well as complaints lodged against their members the public via the web could also have a place to complain about doctors that was independent of those agencies i see no advantage the state could possibly have over one or more private certification boards hospitals could and would refuse to hire people who were not certified by one of the boards in fact they might be inclined to only hire doctors certified by one board over the other because they might have different standards in different areas specialists could have their own boards as well if they liked so what happens if someone wants to practice medicine without belonging to one of these boards i ve probably violated rules against practicing medicine i ve taken out stitches i ve pulled out slivers i ve treated colds flu etc i ve even performed what could be termed minor surgeries and if i messed up well i suppose there is always the risk of infections or other complications but i wasn t taking out a spleen or anything like that but so what if i did if someone trusted me enough to take out a spleen and i represented that i could perform that action then it s just like any other economic transaction between two parties if i lie about being certified or it turns out i misrepresented my qualifications there are already legal remedies for that no state licensing board is necessary anyway it s not as if state licensing has even come close to eliminating misconduct malpractice fraud stupidity or even simple mistakes from the medical or other professions the only reason for government based licenses is that governments like to have control and other people in various professions want to artificially limit competition labels competition economics government bloviated by difster 1 40 pm comments trackback saturday october 09 2010 non action is action huh a federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by four michigan residents who claim that the federal government has no power to compel them by law to purchase anything in particular this suit related to the primary tenant of obama care that will require every individual to purchase health insurance or face penalties the government argued in essence that someone refusing to purchase health insurance is actively involved in commerce and therefore can be regulated by the commerce clause of the constitution by the act of refusal so let s get this straight if i decline or refuse to act economically i m acting economically and can therefore be regulated there is no constitutional authority that allows the government to force you to purchase something but the government wants to use the commerce clause to turn that on its head using the same logic if you do not actively support gay rights minority rights attend gay pride parades and perform other activities that support protected classes of people you are obviously guilty of a hate crime your refusal to act in those matters is therefore

the u s is going to get worse even paul krugman has admitted we re probably heading for another depression although it s for the wrong reasons americans are all crying about unemployment benefits being cut off after 99 weeks and additional layoffs etc states counties and cities are laying off workers including teachers the situation is bleak mexico doesn t have much in the way of welfare or unemployment insurance when people are out of work or need to supplement their income they hit the streets i can drive around culiacan the capital city of the mexican state of sinaloa and buy flowers

pickup trucks full of produce at the side of the road selling everything from dvd s pirated of course to produce to toys and so on the salient point is they don t sit around waiting for someone to hand them a check they get out on the street and do something they might not make much but they do it oh and lets not forget the window washers and these guys won t vandalize your car if you tell them no every parking lot has a parking attendant who makes tips by helping people back out apparently most mexicans are incapable of this on their own or load their purchases lots and lots of little micro

should be lower if you have more than 15 years left to pay and have a higher interest rate so you can make the same payment you re making now and come out way ahead of course more is better but you
