I just can't let bald faced lying and misrepresentation go unchallenged. He's been doing this for years. And he never learns that he'll get called on it by me or Hermit (or others). As I said to him, I don't invest much time and effort into replying to him as all conversations with him go this way. The art is to debunk him and show him up for all the lying and misrepresentation with as few words as possible. It's actually a challenge I've set myself. It's an art I want to master.

Oh, stop your nonsense and bellyaching. You're not fooling anyone.

I don't know or care how much time you invest. When you throw out a sentence fragment as a position in a discussion, people are allowed to respond to it. If your idea is presented in a vague fashion, as yours often are, don't expect others to do the work of summing up your argument for you.

You couldn't debunk a Creationist, eRv.

Demand side economics is based on the belief that the main force affecting overall economic activity and causing short-term fluctuations is consumer demand for goods and services. Sometimes called Keynesian economics, demand side economics developed in response to the Great Depression when conventional supply side economics failed to adequately explain why the mechanisms of the free market was seemingly unable to self-correct or restore balance to the economy as previously expected.

In opposition to classical theories of economics that theorize economic activity is stimulated by increasing net wealth, leading to investment in providing increased supplies. Demand side economics claims that economic activity is best boosted by increasing the buying power of the lower and middle classes, thus increasing the demand for goods and services.

At the core of demand side economics is the focus on aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the combination of consumption of goods, industry investment in capital goods, government spending and net exports. When other elements of aggregate demand are weak, the government can mitigate their impact by increasing its spending. The government can intervene to generate demand for goods and services.

Demand side economists support heavy government spending during a national recession to overcome the short-term low aggregate demand. Raising the market's aggregate demand will reduce unemployment and encourage economic activity, according to this theory. The government increases demand through spending on public goods and services as well as through its control of the money supply through altering interest rates or trading on government-issued bonds.

Nothing about deficits. What you really wanted to say is that deficit spending isn't considered as big a concern in Keynesian economics.

Says the guy who thinks he's fooling everyone that he's not Coito Ergo Sum running a sock puppet.

You should be able to do better than to be a partisan hack in the service of a lowlife fraud so obviously unfit for the job his monstrous ego has nonetheless demanded of him.

You're the only one being a partisan hack. You don't care about facts or detail or evidence or proof.

Yeah I do, I just get all that from honest people.

Where do you guys buy your wives?

Africa. The cow-dollar exchange rate was in my favor.

Oh, I know.... i've been impressed by the number of times you've relied on Gawker....

I never challenged CES on bald faced lying, because I think he actually persuades himself to believe his own misrepresentations. To me a bald lie is when you tell someone that something is true when you know that it is not.

Hermit, you and eRv are ridiculous.

Yeah, and when you catch someone in one of those, it's just hard to take that person seriously from then on.
