Any Good Presidents?

Cute is all they do. Cute is all they know. The constitution has been routinely disregarded since the day it was written,

 

 

Common Sense Economics constantly explains that there is no such thing as a good president. Sadly, few Americans would know the difference anyway. The Universe is harsh and completely brutal. Every species survives by dominating and consuming something weaker. Within each species, the members dominate one another so as to to make the process of survival easier. Where constituents are concerned, a president’s question is, how can I best make use of all of these folks in my efforts to gain more power and get what I want? Senators and Congressmen reason the same way.

All humans have the ability to reason but where group behavior is concerned decisions are made instinctively. The most brilliant minds, when voting make choices instinctively. The very minds that are in charge of overseeing elected leaders worship them instead. Republicans worshipped George Bush and Ronald Reagan. To their base, these men were messiahs. Democrats worship Barack Obama just as they did Franklin Roosevelt. People do think but instinctively vote for incumbents and trust government. Conservatives are no different in this regard.

Within the rank and file there are actually no conservatives. Both Democrats and Republicans are liberals. This is because the activities of both cause government to grow and and freedoms to be lost. Little needs to be said about Democrats because they make no pretence of wanting small government. The Republican base blinds itself to the multitude Republican initiatives that result in bigger more oppressive government.

Across the country there are many venues where conservatives gather trade cute quips and sound bites about the president and other liberals. These are the conservative echo chambers. Here folks are very impressed with themselves and others like them. They act as if others are going to adopts there opinions and all of the country’s problems will be solved. This is all they will ever do. How Silly? Well, they feel good about themselves and they all like one another.

About Fantasy Free Economics

James Quillian independent scholar,free market economist,and teacher of natural law. Who is James Quillian? Certainly I am nobody special, Just a tireless academic and deep thinker. Besides that, I have broken the code with respect to economics and political science. Credentials? Nothing you would be impressed with. I am not a household name. It is hard to become famous writing that virtually no one in the country is genuinely not in touch with reality. But, if I did not do that, there would be no point in my broking the broken the code. If you read the blog, it is easy to see that there are just a few charts, no math and no quantitative analysis. That is not by accident. Given what I know, those items are completely useless. I do turn out to be highly adept at applying natural law. Natural law has predominance over any principles the social science comes up. By virtue of understanding natural law, I can debunk, in just a few sentences , any theory that calls for intervention by a government. My taking the time to understand the ins and outs of Keynes General Theory is about like expecting a chemistry student to completely grasp all that the alchemists of the middle ages thought they understood in efforts to turn base metals into goal. Keynesian theory clearly calls for complete objectivity. Government can only make political decisions. Keynesian techniques call for economic decisions. So, why go any further with that? Fantasy Free Economics is in a sense a lot like technical analysis. Technical analysis began with the premise that it was impossible to gain enough information studying fundamentals to gain a trading advantage. Study the behavior of investors instead. Unlike technical analysis, I don't use technical charts. What I understand are the incentives of different people and entities active in the economics arena. For example, there is no such thing as an incentive to serve with life in the aggregate. In the aggregate, only self interest applies. It is routinely assumed otherwise. That is highly unappealing. But, I am sorry. That is the way it is. I can accept that because I am genuinely in touch with reality. Step one in using Fantasy Free Economics is for me to understand just how little I really know. A highly credentialed economist may know 100 times what I do based on the standard dogma. Compare the knowledge each of us has compared to all there is to know and we both look like we know nothing at all. There is always more than we don't know than what we do know. I am humble enough to present myself on that basis. Why? That is the way it is. I am not bad at math. I have taught math. What I understand is when to use it and when to rely on something else. Math is useless in natural law so I don't use it. While others look at numbers, I am busy understanding the forces in nature that makes their numbers what they are. That gives me a clear advantage.
