|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:28 PM Author: exhilarant forum No shit sherlock, it's in the preamble of Article I, Section 8.
Promoting the "general welfare" is broader than all of the other powers. So what the hell good would it to do enumerate the federal government's powers and say that the government is limited to only those powers, if the very first line is a power that encompasses all the other powers and anything else you douches feel like doing to us at any given time?
Even that authoritarian scum Hamilton did not interpret the preamble this broadly, because it's obviously fraudulent to do so. No state would have signed on if they knew they could potentially get screwed royally like they are today.
Who's the idiot? |
|
Date: September 4th, 2010 11:01 AM Author: Curious generalized bond national security agency He didn't argue that promoting the general welfare was an unlimited power, the argument was over whether the government exists for a purpose other than national defense, which it clearly does, as one can see by merely reading the preamble.

however, i have read it (all) and would like to report that it is a well written, poorly researched, and unfounded smear. all it does is say, "look at this quote from a dude that libertarians like, it doesn't make 100% good sense, geez libertarians must be dumb." end of argument.
it uses the point-and-laugh technique. disappointing really.

It's hard to clearly define libertarianism. "It's a dessert topping!" "No, it's a floor wax!" "Wait-- it's both!" It's a mixture of social philosophy, economic philosophy, a political party, and more. It would be unjust for me to try to characterize libertarianism too exactly: libertarians should be allowed to represent their own positions. At least two FAQs have been created by libertarians to introduce their positions. But the two major flavors are anarcho-capitalists (who want to eliminate political governments) and minarchists (who want to minimize government.) There are many more subtle flavorings, such as Austrian and Chicago economic schools, gold-bug, space cadets, Old-Right, paleo-libertarians, classical liberals, hard money, the Libertarian Party, influences from Ayn Rand, and others. An interesting survey is in chapter 36 of Marshall's "Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism", "The New Right and Anarcho-capitalism."
This diversity of libertarian viewpoints can make it quite difficult to have a coherent discussion with them, because an argument that is valid for or against one type of libertarianism may not apply to other types. This is a cause of much argument in alt.politics.libertarian: non-libertarians may feel that they have rebutted some libertarian point, but some other flavor libertarian may feel that his "one true libertarianism" doesn't have that flaw. These sorts of arguments can go on forever because both sides think they are winning. Thus, if you want to try to reduce the crosstalk, you're going to have to specify what flavor of libertarianism or which particular point of libertarianism you are arguing against.
Libertarians are a small group whose beliefs are unknown to and not accepted by the vast majority. They are utopian because there has never yet been a libertarian society (though one or two have come close to some libertarian ideas.) These two facts should not keep us from considering libertarian ideas seriously, however they do caution us about accepting them for practical purposes. |

Think of it this way: they built the foundation and the walls, but the social and economic realities prevented them from putting up a roof, so they used a tarp instead. Then liberals came along and destroyed the foundation, doing nothing to fix the roof. This country has been in shambles ever since. |

Date: August 31st, 2010 11:44 AM Author: Domesticated cocky regret The key issue is that they COMPROMISED and produced one document. I refer to them as I would a rock band. Members in a band who go solo often produce vastly different works than they did when they were with the band, because they have different beliefs. When they collaborate, they produce things that are often substantially different from what they'd produce on their own. Hence my referring to the "Founders" as a unitary actor.
The fact of the matter is that they framed The Constitution to change in a very specific direction (i.e. MORE individual liberties), yet, liberals have hijacked this opening to serve their own agenda.
I think that I learned a thing or two more about Constitutional Law at UT than you did at your "T30." |

Date: August 31st, 2010 9:56 PM Author: sable godawful nibblets fortuitous meteor In the context of economics, libertarian principles work best when enlightened self-interest can be relied upon to guide firms to behave efficiently. But when firms scale up and ownership disperses, the disconnect between the interests of the people managing the firm and the people who own the firm tends to grow enormously. This can (and almost certainly does) result in firms employing strategies that maximize the compensation of managers but hurt the mid- and long-term interests of the owners. One obvious consequence of this is that enlightened self-interest cannot really be relied upon to cause large firms with dispersed ownership to behave in prudent, economically efficient ways--at least until the interests of managers can be more closely aligned with those of owners.

|
Date: September 1st, 2010 1:50 PM Author: sable godawful nibblets fortuitous meteor If you conceive of firms as single economic entities, I think it's reasonable to assume that they will behave in fairly predictable, self-interested ways in the near-term. The long-term behavior of big, widely held firms is much less predictable and may include "irrational" conduct that destroys value for shareholders and generates negative externalities for other participants in the economy. This provides a justification for the imposition of regulation that may not exist in the context of small firms. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1409571&forum_id=2#15939172) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 2:20 PM Author: Slate round eye toilet seat Yeah, that was just a rehash of what you said before. Thanks.
What I meant was, do you have a workable idea or theory of the firm that lines up with the enlightened self-interest necessary for a workable libertarianism? |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 6:21 PM Author: sable godawful nibblets fortuitous meteor I don't know of anything that promises to eliminate agency costs entirely in this context, aside from getting rid of the agents (i.e., unifying ownership and management to a significant extent). But shifting the payoff for performance-based compensation farther into the future would certainly mitigate some of the current problems.

Date: September 1st, 2010 2:46 PM Author: Slate round eye toilet seat i think what he is saying is that the short-term outlook caused by the importance of market fluctuations (especially because of deferred comp in the form of options) causes managers to disregard the long-term in favor of cooking the books in the short-term to (in the flavor of XOXO) PROFIT LULZ, and then GTFO.

|
Date: September 1st, 2010 2:53 PM Author: Amethyst Adventurous Tanning Salon Headpube Yes, the dreaded manager who cooks the books for a few years, cash in his options, and then flees the sinking ship. I'm sure this happens, but if it happened more than occasionally investors would wise up and invest in firms that don't engage in such practices.
What I see more often happening is that people are outraged by executive compensation and want it limited out of a sense of "fairness" regardless of the executive's job performance. |

|
Date: September 1st, 2010 6:08 PM Author: sable godawful nibblets fortuitous meteor I should point out that I wasn't intending to refer to illegal behavior (though cooking the books certainly amounts to an agency cost). I was referring to the pursuit of legal business strategies that tend to destroy value relative to alternative business strategies but happen to create benefits for management (e.g., use of structured products to shift earnings temporally with the primary goal of getting paid today before you jump ship or the negotiation of lucrative golden parachute arrangements in connection with a takeover bid).
The market's ability to punish individuals is of questionable value (if you cash out, it may not matter whether you're able to get a high paying executive position at another company in the future). The real question is whether it can properly anticipate and punish inefficient conduct by even well-regarded managers with the speed and severity required to eliminate agency costs. Historically, it has not been able to. I'm not aware of evidence that suggests significant improvement can be expected in the near future. |

2. That global warming is net negative
3. That we can largely stop global warming

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:43 PM Author: exhilarant forum I can speak for myself and a number of my libertarian friends on this. It's no so much that we think that global warming isn't happening. Our instincts mostly tell us that it's overblown. I can surely concede that industrialization has side effects, one of which could be heating of the Earth (although I'm not a climate scientist). However, has the Earth not been fluctuating in temperature greatly for thousands of years? How much is due to human activity? What happens when you make Al Gore's chart cover a much longer time frame? Given that all this stuff is coming from the left, my instincts tell me that the left does not understand the opportunity costs. The reason I say this is because every liberal I know is an economic illiterate dripping with Marxist philosophy.
Nobody I know thinks that if you cause harm to the environment that you should not have to clean it up. If the government could make a case that they needed to tax us in order to use the money to clean up harmful effects to the environment caused by pollution then that would be one thing - the people themselves could probably just use a class action lawsuit for this. But what the left of course wants to do instead is layer on a huge tax, and just give the money out to their cronies. Libertarians are going to oppose this to their last breath. It's stupid economics, and it's immoral - standard leftist nonsense. |

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 3:32 PM Author: Domesticated cocky regret No, I actually don't believe in "street smarts" or any other kind of "smart" other than just plain smarts.
This is the deal: Anyone with half a brain can cook up a theory about anything, including theories that do not correspond with reality. This is the world in which most professors live. They spend most of their time cooking up theories that justify whatever they already believe, and cherry-picking data that fits this (see global warming email scandal).
The fact of the matter is that Keynesian economics and progressive taxation do not work: Businesses can't expand and hire new people if they can't get capital. Without jobs, people can't spend money, which makes businesses have to make additional cuts in employment. Thus begins a downward spiral similar to the one we're in now (thanks in no small part to BHO's "stimulus.") Progressive taxation ends up hurting the very people it is designed to save, because when the "rich" are subjected to higher taxes, that money comes directly out of the pool from which businesses draw their capital. It effectively saves poor people a little money up front, but will ultimately cost them their jobs.
I know that you liberals would love to think that we're all conspiracy nuts like Glenn Beck, but most of us aren't. Personally, I don't think that BHO wants to eliminate the private sector and enslave everyone in a totalitarian state. Rather, I believe that he has everyone's best interests in mind, but just has a poor understanding of how the Free Market operates in the real world. The tragic thing is that he doesn't seem to be open to changing his mind on this issue, and will continue to hurt the very people he's trying to save. |

However, increased innovation, economic expansion/increased growth rates, and low/non-existent unemployment are all assumed by libertarians to follow as a consequence of implementing the "free market". There is absolutely no evidence that any of these results will follow. Furthermore, there are plenty of reasons to think that they won't given the threat of rampant and completely unchecked monopolization and oligopolistic behavior in such an economy.

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 5:07 PM Author: Amethyst Adventurous Tanning Salon Headpube That's not entirely true. In fact, in the libertarian beginner's classic, Economics in One Lesson, there is a chapter titled "The Fetish of Full Employment" or something. It states that eliminating unemployment is neither possible nor desirable. There will always be people who value leisure over what they can command on the wage market. Same with innovation. All non-retarded libertarians know that when you subsidize something you will get more of it. This comes back to the allocation of resources. If we want MOAR something than would be provided by the free market (e.g. HIV research), how do we know that moar is better and who gets to make that decision? You're right about the last point, however. And while you claim their is no evidence that free market = more economic expansion, I think if you look at the regulatory climates and taxation burdens in various nations across time, it's clear that less is more when it comes to economic expansion.

Monopoly firms do not have an incentive to hire forever, that's the main point I'm trying to make. It's entirely plausible that, in the face of economic stagnation as a result of diminished competition, unemployment will not be a matter of "choice" as traditionally conceived.
Wrt the second point: how do you figure? There's little historical evidence to support that claim. |
|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 5:20 PM Author: Amethyst Adventurous Tanning Salon Headpube I see no connection between monopolies and employment. If one firm could supply the needs of the entire economy is would need to employ more or less the same amount of labor as multiple firms supplying those needs. Please elaborate.
There's little historical evidence to suggest that economically free nations tend to be better economically than less free nations? |
