Lets just say, I have proven many of his hair brained schemes for what they are
No, all you've ever done is repeat your ideology over and over again without realizing that you've proven nothing. YOU think you've proven something because YOU think your statements are self evident. But that's only because your intellect is too limited to know the difference between a fact and an assumption. You routinely give out your assumptions as if they were facts. Worse, you pretend to be an advocate of free market economics, but you appear not to even understand the underlying economics. Instead you've bought into an overly simplistic market ideology that is not supported by the data.
Let's incite an example or five:
Hey JL, do you know that freer trade is harmful to the majority of the population in a country that specializes in professional and managerial work? That's an economic truth (Stolper-Samuelson's paper) but since it's incompatible with your ideology I am guessing you won't be able to accept it. You'll insist, based on your ideology, that it must be false, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Hey JL, do you know that free markets are more efficient when they are regulated in industries that have very high fixed capital costs? The alternative is a natural monopoly that engages in rent seeking behavior. But that's not compatible with your ideology either.
Hey JL, do you know that in a debt crisis cutting taxes does not create jobs? The liquidity trap results in corporate hoarding of cash, so the usual incentives don't work. Oops, but that's not compatible with your ideology either.
Hey JL, do you know that government subsidy of strategic industries can, under the right circumstances, create a lasting comparative advantage in international trade? That's because once the industry concentrates, in response to the subsidy, the concentration in and of itself provides an advantage, one that outlasts the subsidies, and is self-reinforced by ongoing market specialization. Oops, but government subsidy and strategic investment--not compatible with your narrow, blinkered ideology.
Hey JL, do you know that rising the minimum wage increases the level of education in the population, and results in a higher paid workforce specialized for higher skill jobs? That's because people who fall below the level of skill required to enter the market at the minimum wage are shut out, and forced to stay in school, until their skills rise to a level justifying the minimum wage. Oops, but any benefit from a minimum wage.. incompatible with your blinkered ideology.
We can go on...
