"the Apollo program actually had a stimulative effect on the economy that fostered economic growth and created jobs by driving the development of technology,"
Apparently, money exchanged in private hands doesn't foster economic growth or create jobs. It must fall into a black hole of consumption.
Swish, FTW.
If our war-mongering Congress and a population--who see the war like a video game and not the experience of war--are this desensitized to it, do we really expect to refrain from cyber warfare?
That was a confusing and pitiful example of Capitalism. Capitalism isn't Corporatism. Capitalism--real Capitalism--would actually weed out the overpriced, antiquated forms of education if the market so desired.
Agreed.
The onerous laws Congress impose always backfire. Good patent intentions add nothing to an economy nor do they facilitate growth and innovation.
Spending doesn't make an economy thrive. Savings, investment, and production do. More spending and consumption don't fix the effects of over-consumption.
Most of the things you mention in the beginning of your. reply are blatant violations of liberty: antitrust, taxation, and the draft most notably. Anything involving coercion which is everything the state does.
"in a moderately expedient and cheap fashion."
That makes no economic sense.
There is nothing cheap about the USPS. Look at their yearly multi-billion dollar deficits that they try to claim isn't funded by taxpayers.
It's just a way for the government to pick Google's deep pockets. No one was hurt. No property rights violated. No $500 million going to any wronged party. Just $500M more for a few criminals who didn't earn it nor do they need it.
Thank you for the lack of bias. It's not a religion problem but a human problem. Tail wagging the dog here by religion haters and lovers. Put cause where it is--human decision--and not in its effects.
I don't see it dying but from the heavy fist of government--like the $500M suit for health-related search results in which no one was really hurt or compensated for their non-hurt.
Since when does capitalism include legal tender, heavily regulated media, medicine, food, healthcare, communications, taxes, housing, and [insert industry here]?

You'll be hearing from my lawyers.
What in the world does central banking have to do with capitalism?
I haunting my house with a TSA agent at the door, an IRS agent at the dinner table, and an FCC agent in the family room for TV time.

I think a better and more accurate quote is "War is the health of the state." Courtesy of Randolph Bourne.

Do you condone something as stupid and disturbing as a "culture Secretary" too?
And, of course, 5 war fronts and stealing (taxes) is no threat at all. Nor is the unhindered ability to probe into every aspect of our lives.

I would like to have a beer with you.
They didn't really cut spending. They cut (allegedly) the rate at which government grows.

The U.S. is not a capitalist nation.
