Where is the US economy headed?

Dictionary definitions are for simpletons.

What's a job ci? From an economic point of view. Surely you can define a concept you continually bang on about?

Can you? You are big on demands in this area (having played a similar, stupid game with me in the past) but very short on producing an actual definition yourself.

@spendius,

Definitions for words do not change when used in the context of economics; it essentially means "work for pay." You're too ****'g stupid to understand the basics, and you're trying to make me look ignorant with your silly questions.

You still haven't shown proof of what you claim I said in the past. You're a liar and a troll.

@Cycloptichorn,

Natch it would be a stupid game to you Cyclo because you couldn't or wouldn't answer the question either. There are numerous ways to define the word but only one from an economic point of view. A useful activity. Caring for an elderly or sick person without reward or official recognition is a job from an economic point of view. Trying to render people sexy is not a job from an economic point of view unless there is more shagging as a result than there was before they were rendered sexy And that might depend on what birth rate the environment can cope with. Or buttressing their self-esteem.

Those sort of definitions are psychological and not economic. Evolution theory is strict economics.

Or a job is what people go to for a time in return for coupons to trade at the shops and independently of what is produced by the work.

I could dilate on the subject all night but it's pub time. All some jobs do is create other jobs. Like a Ponzi. NFL for example. What possible economic use is 22 grunts running around a ******* field chasing a ball that isn't even round. And most of them needing expert medical treatment at a number of levels. And kit. That has nothing to do with economics. That's psychology.

I am quite content that some of your compatriots, not wishing to let the side down, me being a Limey and all, choose to believe that you didn't advise A2Kers to go short on gold at $1495 and that you hadn't made a lady in your family cry with your atheist twaddle. If nobody believes me that you did do those two things I'm not bothered. They are on the record.

And you might try something a little more original than "a liar and a troll." You certainly trolled when you made a snarky comment about my response to a young lady on another thread without bothering to read her post to which I was replying.

And the record will show that you're a liar on the other two points and you are just relying on nobody taking the trouble to look back for what you had said.

@spendius,

I think it likely that the recent revelation that Whitehall has contingency plans for evacuating around a million British ex-pats living in Spain, because of the lovely weather and the low cost of living, if a banking meltdown takes place there, is one that might interest those concerned about the US economy.

I do not think that because your government had such plans it is a real danger for such a melt down happening, as the militaries and governments love to make plans in almost all countries for unlikely happenings.

Hell in the 20s-30s the US had plans to fight a war with England in great details.

With the airfields and such all picked out to be used in our attack on Canada.

First you claimed I called it a "bubble," and now you're saying I advised to "short gold at $1495." Both lies.

Because no such war ever happened does not mean that there was no possibility of it doing so. You are employing hindsight.

I hardly think that our government's contingency plans in regard to Spain, NOW, will be set aside on the basis of your assurances that you do not think there is a real danger for such a melt down to happen. There is definitely a danger or some sort. I wouldn't like to say what the risk level is but one does exist. Democracy is a mere 30 odd years old in Spain.

There were a lot of Nazi sympathisers in America at the time. Unlike the UK where Mosley was ridiculed, Lindbergh was held in high regard.

@izzythepush,

That's not surprising, because America had a over one million Germans in the US in 1940. Also, the straight-arm salute was created by socialists in the US in the late 19th century to show respect to the US flag. Strange but true.

It's not surprising that Bill, who likes to spread the myth that America beat the axis powers single-handed, should post something that undermines his ridiculous argument. That's how stupid he is.

Oh really??? Mosley's movement had many members and sympathizers in the UK at the time. Even your former boy king Edward was reputed to be among them.

Bill, however, is dead wrong about any U.S. ambition to take Canada after WWI. Many Americans came to regret our participation in WWI - after seeing Britain and France merely use our participation to release troops from the Western Front in Europe to further theirt conquest of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, and later wittnessing the vengeful peace and redrawing of European borders.

This is supposed to be about the direction of the US economy and not about which "grande gesture" history teacher we all had.

My post that started this exchange of jingoistic baloney actually mentioned the US economy. People here, no doubt alarmists, have already conjured up visions of a million ex-pats being herded up gangplanks of Royal Navy ships clutching what they can and abandoning properties paid for in British cash.

spendi, It's no different your mention of quotes or faux-quotes from the classics and/or authors of yore that has no bearing on the topics being discussed.

3 years of Obamanomics has only made the US economy more fragile and more likely to worsen.
