Actually, the people at the top of the pyramid still come out on top even if there is a deflation. Banks are insolvent to the tune of trillions. If the free market operated as it should, all the high rolling bankers would be selling hot dogs on the streets by now. Parasites in banks & financial...

So why did Regan remit office with some of the largest deficits that the US had at the time? I know that story he used to say - one can only shake one's head. How many movies were being made at the time in hollywood? Was there under capacity? What was the unemployment rate like? Only a naarcisstic ...

Tax cuts have throughout the entire history of United States led to a booming small businesses some of which eventually grow into big corporations. This is not a one time event. Everybody and their father in the US knows that. Reckless spending was going into Iraq. Afghanistan was necessary, but Ir...

It does seem to deter quite a few people as was seen by the boom after 2000-01 when Bush proposed the tax cuts. And capital gains covers all investments, not just RE. This is an extremely discredited theory. Correlation does not imply causality. By extension - can one argue that Bush tax cuts cause...

Under the Obama plan, the proposed tax increases are by 5% on their personal income and by 20% on capital gains. ok - would the additional 5 % increase in tax scare you from the opportunity to earn over $250,000? Capital gains should be taxed highly. It would discourage idiots from speculating in R...

So from this statistic it seems three-quarters of 'firms' have no payroll - meaning they are 'self-employed'. So such 'small businesses' do not 'hire' people. So how would an increase in 'income tax' affect their investment or their 'hiring'? Because the ones that do have payroll (firms that employ...

Higher income taxes stifle their ability to expand their businesses or even close it down if it starts being infeasible. There is only so much of hard earned savings that people would like to take risk with. While they can recuperate part of their losses by showing it as an investment loss, its onl...

There are contradictory analysis on almost every issue under the sun that involves human nature and is not controlled by physical laws. I quote from the census bureau statistics: About three quarters of all U.S. business firms have no payroll. Most are self-employed persons operating unincorporated ...

The good thing about deflation is it turns this pyramid scheme upside down. Naturally the chief crook at the top is alarmed and wants to right the pyramid back on its base. That system of easy theft of other people's earnings for doing jack sh&t is important to the scheme. Otherwise, banking an...

This doesn't make sense - if their hard earned money is invested in their businesses - then it is an investment not an income. So the higher income tax does not impact them at all. Unless you are saying most small business owners actually continue to 'earn' their money somewhere else and then open ...

Scenario 1 (of aqkhan) confuses between an income tax (families earning over $200 K) and a business tax (they will stop hiring) - so is probably irrelevant. I agree with the rest of your post except this. You have never started a small business I assume. Small businesses (except in tech and that to...

- Interest rates - Interest rates are a way of the federal reserve banks to control monetary supply to hit the sweet spot between inflation and deflation in an economy. If the federal reserve sets interest rate too low, the banks are flooded with money, so they can lend at low interests to people to...

So right now $7T worth of property is being mortgaged at $11.68T a gap of ~$4.68T? So banks must be making lots of money by not rewriting the loans. In what time period will the $7T equal the $11.68T in mortgages at say 5% growth? If its too long then defaults will increase. It depends. With most b...

Actually, if you look at ToI video coverage, someone there asked if Tamilnadu will oppose this symbol!

Its pretty stupid, however, I agree that nothing significant will happen.

If GOI starts using it and Indian corporations start using it, it will eventually be picked up by software and keyboard makers very soon. I doubt GoI has to enforce it.

I see the situation as hopeless for US and China. They are locked into a gravitational decaying orbit around each other, eventually colliding into each other.

I for one am glad, we're doing things at our own pace now!

Chandrayaan followed by a suffix is good enough. Thank you very much!

There is some danger that it might be confused with the number 2 if the horizontal bar is not pronounced but that's the only down side. It should not be confused with the number 2 at all. The lower stem in number 2 is horizontal, while in the symbol, the lower stem is inclined at a 45 degree angle.
