More Americans Work For The Government Than In Manufacturing, Farming, Fishing, Fores

[michaelsuede]

I love this article, it points out that real wealth comes from those who produce real goods and services. In order for a nation to be wealthy, it must produce an abundance of goods and services.

The more cell phones that are produced, the cheaper cell phones become; hence, the better off society will be since more people can afford them. This same logic applies to everything else in our economy.

Heh, well, the phones themselves may be cheaper but you're still stuck with typically highly restrictive and generally awful contracts from the service provider in order to use the phone. At least in Canada, at any rate.

Considering that manufacturing in America has been getting larger in real terms, and thanks to efficiency becoming less labour intensive, the fact that now the government has more people is a reflection of the increasing importance of the information economy as opposed to the manufacturing economy

That Wall Street journal article is crap.

Wait, so we don't have ENOUGH manufacturing? #1 in the world isn't good enough?

The Fascist soup homepage have links to assorted 9/11 truther sites.
It does not speak well for their fact reliance.

Anyway, as the economy change and fewer and fewer people are involved in agriculture and manufacture they will have to work elsewhere.
The article does not say if the workforce moved from primary/secondary production have gone to government jobs, or hooters.

The horror.

Someone doesn't believe the handful of government paid engineers who say the collapse was caused by fire and instead listens to the 1500 certified private engineers who say the collapse was caused by explosives.

At any rate, the veracity of the articles claims can be checked against the included presentation by an economics professor.

I assume that "real" and "wealth producing" in your context is defined as non-government.

Its always been a favorite pass time of mine to count the number of people I would instantly drop into the idiot category because its blatantly obvious that their background has no direct correlation with civil engineering.

 

[Toke]

I would put it as "not reality based".

Oh wow. I guess this illustrates just how seriously we should take your posts.

From little to zero credibility in one post. Congrats!

In a forum that is supposedly dedicated to skepticism, I find it humorous that most people here are skeptical of private citizens and not so skeptical of government.

Given government's long and distinguished history of telling epic lies, I find the position of such people to be humorous.

Let us see:

Gulf of Tonkin incident
USS Liberty incident
Reichstag fire
Operation Northwoods
Iran–Contra affair
Bay of Pigs Invasion
Climategate
etc.. etc.. etc..

There isn't enough post room to list them all.

Are your "economists for truth" in any way related to the freeman movement?

I find it humorous that you’re a 911 truther and AGW denier.

Yes there is. There's plenty of post room(whatever that means). You could list another four dozen such examples in a single post and not run out of lines. I'm not certain, in fact, that there's any limitation - I know I've never hit a point where the software tells me that I've exceeded the limit for a single post, and I've posted some lengthy screeds.

There's a whole sub-forum, in fact. It's called Conspiracy Theories, and every single one of those items listed has had at least one thread dedicated to it. If, in fact, you actually want to discuss any of this, perhaps you could trot over and do some checking on previous threads in that sub-forum. Or are you merely trying to get hits on your little e-zine (or whatever it is) page?

Note: Even the OP is in the exact wording as the other site.

1. If you want me to produce a list of government lies that is 10,000 links long I'm sure I could do so. Perhaps my phraseology is wrong. I should have said "there isn't enough time in my lifetime to list them all"

How's that work for you?

2. I did not come here to promote my blog. The mods automatically edit my posts to include links to my blog posts. I don't have a choice in the matter.

Good lord, tell me you don't believe in AGW.



I thought that hoax was finally put to bed years ago.

We still have AGW believers in here?

Well, you referenced “Climategate” which I thought was pretty funny since that issue has been investigated and the scientists in question vindicated by no less than 3 independent enquiries. You’re also a Truther, which illustrates just how capable your mental faculties are. So if you joined JREF to make an impact with your economics nous, you have destroyed any chance of that because nobody can take you seriously anymore.
