WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY

THERE IS A LOT OF UNREST IN OUR COUNTRY LATELY:

- MANY PEOPLE ARE MAD AT ONE PARTY OR THE OTHER.
- MANY PEOPLE WANT EXTREME THINGS THAT ARE AGAINST THE BELIEFS OF OTHERS.
- PEOPLE ARE EITHER CHEATING THE ELECTIONS OR ALLEGING CASES OF CHEATING.
- SOME OFFICIALS WANT CONTROLS PLACED ON THE ECONOMY THAT DO NOT HAVE THE INTENDED EFFECT

HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

  1. DON'T FAVOR ANY CHANGE THAT MAKES OTHERS MAD:

    - Don't favor anything that violates any religion

    - Don't favor anything that costs others a lot of money

    - Don't favor taking the rights of others away

    - Don't favor criminals over law-abiding people

  2. THE EXTREME DESIRES THAT THE SIDES ARE DEMANDING AND PROTESTING:

    - ABORTION (Should be a civil right - vs - Antireproductive rights takes human life)

    - GLBT (Should be a civil right - vs - Violates many religions)

    - PRICE CONTROLS (Controls inflation - vs - Causes severe shortages of the controlled products)

    - MEDICARE FOR ALL (Pays for all healthcare - vs - Taxes so high there is no economy left)

    - ABOLISH PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE (Government is only health insurance - vs - Can't get what you need)

    - PROHIBIT ASSAULT RIFLES (People think they are safer - vs - Violating people's civil rights)

    - CLIMATE CHANGE (Liberals afraid of what they think will happen - vs - There is no proof that it will happen)

    - THE CAUSE OF INFLATION (Price gouging causes inflation - vs - Government overspending causes inflation)

  3. CONTROLS ON THE ECONOMY THAT DON'T HAVE THE INTENDED EFFECT

    Controlling any variable in the economy does not control just that variable.
    It unbalances markets, causing other variables to change in undesired ways.

    ECONOMIC CONTROLS WITH UNINTENDED EFFECTS

    Surplus Government SpendingMoney Supply decreasedDeflation (Dollar value up)Prices fall

    Price SupportsProducts MarketLower product demandProduct surplus
    Price ControlsProducts MarketCan't afford to makeProduct shortage
    Minimum WageProducts MarketHigher costs to makePrices increase too

    Wage ControlsProducts MarketLower costs to makePrices decrease too

    Democrats repeat themselves and still men do not learn.
    Every time they try minimum wage, price controls, or deficit spending, the same disasters occur.
    Yet they keep saying: "Maybe THIS time we can make it work.""
