–Gay marriage is here. MSBs, get over it

Mitchell’s laws:
●The more federal budgets are cut and taxes increased, the weaker an economy becomes.
●Austerity is the government’s method for widening the gap between rich and poor,
which leads to civil disorder.
●Until the 99% understand the need for federal deficits, the upper 1% will rule.
●To survive long term, a monetarily non-sovereign government must have a positive balance of payments.
●Those, who do not understand the differences between Monetary Sovereignty and monetary non-sovereignty, do not understand economics.
●The penalty for ignorance is slavery.
●Everything in economics devolves to motive.

The MSBs (Mean Spirited Bastards) of the public, the politicians and the Supreme Court have been wallowing in the shit pit of “cut-Social Security,” “cut Medicare,” cut Medicaid, “cut aid to the poor,” “cut federal employee’s salaries,” “cut anything that benefits the middle class and the poor.”

Today, MSBs turn full leer to gay marriage, an institution that provides happiness to thousands of our fellow citizens, while harming . . . uh, while harming . . . Hmmm . . . while harming no one.

Even Justice Scalia, king of the nonsensical arguments for anything MSB, is having difficulty expressing his usual bigotry about why our gay people should not be allowed the many legal benefits of marriage.

Same-sex marriage can’t be stopped by courts
By Dana Milbank, Published: March 26

Justice Antonin Scalia led a rearguard action among his conservative colleagues, who attempted to establish that traditional marriage is distinct because of its procreative potential — a quaint notion in this era of adoption and artificial fertility.

Justice Elena Kagan quizzed Charles Cooper, the lawyer defending California’s Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage, about his contention that homosexual marriage is inconsistent with “society’s interest in responsible procreation.”

“Suppose,” she said, “a state said that, because we think that the focus of marriage really should be on procreation, we are not going to give marriage licenses anymore to any couple where both people are over the age of 55.”

Cooper said that was different because, in the case of old folks, “it is very rare that both parties to the couple are infertile.”

The audience broke into laughter at Cooper’s apparent misunderstanding of the birds and the bees.

Translation: There is no misunderstanding. It is a typical MSB lie — a last resort when faced with his own inconsistencies. Politicians do it all the time.

“When did it become unconstitutional to exclude homosexual couples from marriage?” Justice Scalia asked Ted Olson, the former solicitor general for George W. Bush’s administration.

“When did it become unconstitutional to prohibit interracial marriages?” Olson retorted.

Ooooh, Scalia got out-smart-assed this time.

This poor excuse for a Justice, finds those gay people to be icky,” so he tries to invent clever reasons why they should not be allowed to be happy. This is what passes for intellect on the Supreme Court.

And so it was that Antonin Scalia, the ultimate MSB, was left without his usual careless wisecrack about people’s suffering. He just sat there, both feet planted firmly in his mouth (we could only wish), hoping to be rescued by the bigotry of his right wing peers.

But, all phony MSB arguments against mercy and common sense, eventually are understood by real Americans as distasteful and wrong, long before the Supreme Court comes to the same conclusion. To doubt the the right wing Supreme Court is far behind the tide of history is to doubt, for instance, that politicians are liars.

One needs only to look at these pompous asses in their dark robes, sitting high on their bench, and know these people are divorced not only from reality, but from the decency of middle class of America.

Gay marriage helps millions, hurts no one, and ultimately, only a few. remaining MSBs will oppose it. The Supreme Court will be last to follow.

If you are an MSB opposing gay marriage, get over it. Once it’s legal, you’ll see that it won’t hurt you a bit.

Then you can return to to your shit pit of invented rationales (like “America is broke”) for cuts in food stamps, Social Security, healthcare and your other ways to torture the poor.

Monetary Sovereignty

====================================================================================================================================================

Nine Steps to Prosperity:
1. Eliminate FICA (Click here)
2. Medicare — parts A, B & D — for everyone
3. Send every American citizen an annual check for $5,000 or give every state $5,000 per capita (Click here)
4. Long-term nursing care for everyone
5. Free education (including post-grad) for everyone
6. Salary for attending school (Click here)
7. Eliminate corporate taxes
8. Increase the standard income tax deduction annually
9. Increase federal spending on the myriad initiatives that benefit America’s 99%

No nation can tax itself into prosperity, nor grow without money growth. Monetary Sovereignty: Cutting federal deficits to grow the economy is like applying leeches to cure anemia. Two key equations in economics:
Federal Deficits – Net Imports = Net Private Savings
Gross Domestic Product = Federal Spending + Private Investment and Consumption – Net Imports

  1. One consolation is that by demanding austerity, MSBs create the poverty they forever wallow in.

    Granted, MSBs want austerity for others, never themselves, but austerity dooms them to the shit pit along with everyone else.

    Therefore I say again, do not feel too bad when you see someone living in a cardboard box on the edge of town.

    He was likely an MSB who demanded the austerity that put him there.

    I want happiness and prosperity for everyone. MSBs do not. Their collective evil manifests as austerity.

  2. Government ought to stick its nose out of marriage. Marriage is, at its crux, a religious institution. Government was wrong to force the Mormons to change their form of marriage, and is wrong to prohibit any religion to marry any number of people of any gender combination. Any laws that grant special privileges to married people should be reformed, so that partners in non-traditional marriages or traditional non-marriages should not be at any disadvantage under the law.

  3. Some people are stuck at Wal Mart, working for minimum wage with no benefits.

    Other people get paid to spray excrement in everyone’s face.

    For example, Laurence Jacob Kotlikoff is a professor of economics at Boston University, plus a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a former Senior Economist, President’s Council of Economic Advisers, President of Economic Security Planning, Inc – blah, blah, blah. (Choke, puke.)

    This idiot claims that the USA is “broke” and in worse shape than Greece, with a national debt approaching $222 trillion. He says the $222 trillion went to the elderly. He says today’s children could soon be paying their parent’s debts, and that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. He says the Chinese will stop lending us money, and the interest rate on Treasuries will spike, and the market in Treasuries will collapse, and the sky will fall. He says the US government is printing a lot of money to pay these bills.

    (Did you catch that? He says the US government borrows all its money, but he says the US government prints money to pay its debts. Such self-contradictions are typical of these clowns.)

    Naturally he wants austerity.

    This is an economics professor! What a disgrace.

    1. Around 2 minutes into the video he seems to imply that we actually need to shrink the US GDP by 12%! (I thought I must have heard this wrong the first time around so I replayed it several times but it always came out sounding the same.)

      About 6 minutes in he says that someday China et al won’t lend us any more money and we’ll end up “just like Greece”! (Sounds like he could use a little MMT/MS education.)

      Towards the end he flat out lies about Social Security (conventional scare tactic).

      All in all, if he was a student in my class he would get a “D” on this assignment!

      One big problem with this video is that the interviewer never challenges any of his statements and just accepts them all at face value. She herself might benefit from a little education re MMT/MS.

    2. Thanks Mark. Would you like a bigger disgrace? Try John Taylor’s recent rantings on his “Economics One” Blog detailing his little boy spat with Paul “Still No Cigar” Krugman.

      1. Thanks Steve.

        You’re right. John B. Taylor is an example of how economics professors advance by pleasing the rich (i.e. by calling for austerity). Taylor was an economics professor at Princeton and Columbia Universities, and is now a professor at Stanford University. He was undersecretary for the U.S. Treasury under W. Bush.

        He scores these positions by being a “free market” moron. For Taylor, “the market” (i.e. the 1%) is always right. He claims that the US government has a debt crisis, and that the federal deficit must be reduced by slashing government spending on social programs. He says this is not austerity, but “undoing a huge binge in government spending.”

        Naturally, Fox News loves this creep.

        A couple of his gems…

        “Resources to finance government expenditures aren’t free—they withdraw resources from the private economy.”

        “Lower growth of government spending eventually means lower taxes and more take home income.”

        http://johnbtaylorsblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/krugmans-claims-are-wrong.html

        In his book, “First Principles: Five Keys to Restoring America’s Prosperity” (Jan 2012), Taylor writes, “The Paul Ryan approach would better protect older beneficiaries and those with poor health or low incomes.” Also, he advocates EVEN MORE deregulation of Wall Street and too-big-to-fail banks.

        What a miserable little bastard.
