If Bush is considered 'What is Republican'...

[Imran Siddiqui]

If I were asked my opinion on whether you were qualified to be a lawyer, I would now have to say no.

Because you are trained to say so based on conversations on a Civilization board, where your views are considered so out of the loop we have coined the term 'Nedaverse' to describe them.

Yeah... your opinion matters one way or the other to me .

If you are a lawyer, I'd like to warn your clients.

As to the economic question, you once again have mistated what I have said.

I absolutely have not! This as in the other thread you have stated that surpluses, by themselves, even as a result of simply increased incomes lead to recessions. As does that silly link you posted. Perhaps you need to step back and realize what you are saying for once in your life?

Imran, solely on the economic issue, your summary of what I said is so far afield from my argument as to be ludicrous. It brings into question your reading comprehension or your basic intelligence.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Still backtracking Ned? Guess I expected no less of you.

May I quote you?

I don't have any idea why you ignore the basic principle that deficits stimulate the private economy and that surpluses harm it.

Backtrack from that.

In addition:

One can see the spike in revenues as a percentage of GDP is what forced the economy into the tank.

not only did revenues grow, but so did revenues as a percentage of GDP. This forced the budget into surplus. Just as it went into surplus, the wheels came off.

I think I got your fairly pegged.

Imran unless my reading comprehension skills are amiss, you have mistyped.

In the above:

"I absolutely have not! This as in the other thread you have stated that deficts, by themselves, even as a result of simply increased incomes lead to recessions."

whilst Ned say:
"I don't have any idea why you ignore the basic principle that deficits stimulate the private economy and that surpluses harm it."

These don't match. Ned says deficits = good; surplus = bad (lead to recession)

Imran say, Ned say deficit = bad = lead to recesssion..

Actually Imran say deficts = bad which probably explains the difference.

Me go now eat food and drink beer.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ooops, I did mean surpluses... thanks.

Charles, can you give me link to the history of the steam engine you seem to be quoting?

Also, I think the critical thing about honoring contracts is the rule of law. Babylon and Rome were known for the rule of law. One was a dictatorship. The other was not.

Well it was in a book talking about what Islam past on to the West in sciences and in other areas.

Well, Charles, it had a lot of discussion about the steam engine I had never heard of before. It gave me some suspicion that our own histories are somewhat European-centric.
