You are right. Ho Chi Min had absolutely nothing to do with the Soviets. Except for being a Soviet Agent

I don't know why I bother with you fools sometimes. Do you read anything? Ever pick up a book? Ever think before commenting?

1923 Ho traveled to Russia for the first time. After subsequent visits, he became acquainted with the most influential Soviet leaders including Nikolai BUKHARIN, Leon TROTSKY, and Joseph STALIN. While in Russia, Ho was trained as an agent of the Comintern*. He studied the thought of Marx and Lenin as well as organizational and revolutionary techniques.
*Founded in 1919 by Vladimir Ilyich LENIN in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Comintern was dedicated to organizing an international socialist movement. Comintern agents were deployed throughout the world, promoting revolution, socialism, and organizing communist branch organizations abroad.

You need to read a little closer, hatfield. Marvin wanted to know where the suburbs came from...implying there were none before WWII and that they came after WW II as a result of the pent-up WW II purchasing power. That's totally incorrect. There were suburbs around major US cities long before WW II. That's why I asked about Levittown and others like it re. the postwar period.

Try to keep up.

Don't bother. Jon is a silly cheerleader who tosses out immature snarky comments with no intellectual content.

Obviously there were "burbs" before WWII...that's a given. Marv's point was the suburb boom after WWII. You can introduce the obvious pre-existing situation to "prove" Marv is wrong about the "burbs" in a petty small-minded Denden-like way that proves nothing about the main point.

Try to think bigger.

And little DenDen the Menace with middle finger held up isn't silly? not to mention snarky. I'm sure you will be in denial about both. I can hardly wait for your intellectual-content reply. Little

"Intellectual content" in little-minded little DenDen the Menace's postings? Now that's funny. :-P :-P :lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course, he was a communist. Therefore, with the chip inserted in his brain, he would betray his own country to serve Stalin. He would never put the interest of his own nation ahead of Stalin's commands. Those chips are powerful things.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Interest rates on U.S. bonds may be ridiculously low, but that doesn't mean the country's future interest payments on the national debt will be.

Uncle Sam will shell out more than $5 trillion in interest payments over the next decade, according to the latest projections from the Congressional Budget Office.

Over the decade, more than 14% of all revenue the government is projected to collect will be sucked up by interest payments.

Stalin's desires were the same as Ho. Expansion of Communism.

I can't believe my eyes. You are actually denying that there was a suburban building boom after WW II! Levittown was a poster child for a nation-wide boom. It is true that White flight in the late '50s and '60s AND spending on NASA and the Interstate Highway extended that boom but there is a simple fact of plumbing: input equals output. $80B was saved during the war. It was all spent after the war in addition to current income. With the multiplier, that would be about $130B. With a 25% down payment, That's equivalent to a down payment on 40 million homes in a nation with about 60 million married couples of all ages. Even if you settle for 20 million, it's enormous.

Nonsense. I was there. There were Levittowns everywhere.

VladimirPee

Marvin is correct. There was a suburban boom post war. I didn't see the original post. Did someone claim we didn't have suburbs prior to WW2?

IRS receipts do not include treasury auction receipts, which pay for redemption and debt interest.

VladimirPee

It includes everything and the balance of the debt is added to the budget deficit or national debt. Not sure how many times I will have to post this with the links supporting the correct information before it sinks into your head.


The amounts of net interest shown in the budget include interest paid on all Treasury securities ($413 billion in 2010), minus the portion of that interest that is received by trust funds ($186 billion in 2010) and the net amount of other interest received by the government ($30 billion in 2010). The last category consists primarily of net receipts to the Treasury from the financing accounts for federal loan programs (those accounts are not included in the federal budget).

My blind ideology? What about your blind TP ideology?

My only ideology is America as the example of, the defender of, the promoter of freedom and self-government (exemplified also by other Free World nations) for the future of human civilization.

Extremism? My only extremism is extreme middle (or muddle--ha) of the road...and, as such, extreme against both left and right extremism. Brian D also regards me as extremist warmonger for justifying the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars...that's related to my ideology of America's role now as determining the future of Freedom and self government just as it was the Brits who did it the past several hundred years (and is our truest partner for the future)...not necessarily a matter of winning each battle, just that we are committed and act...but not rashly...for example, containment rather than war with international communism, a strategy that was workable but required the Korean & Nam awful battles to work...opposed carrying those battles to the Chinese border provoking a war with China...so extreme warmonger of me to regard MacArthur strategy for a Chinese War as distraction from main USSR danger and so extreme warmonger to vote against Goldwater just because it appeared he might go too far also. A "middle of the road" warmonger...now that's eccentric. :mrgreen:

Extremism? Yes, Dennis, extremism against RWEs and LWEs, fanaticism against fanatics like yourself, Den-Den, extremism against the Putinist fascist operation on OPP from Feb. to Aug. 17...but also against Dem unreasonable fanaticisms and unreasonable Dem extremisms (that is, if Howard Dean & Co. are that extreme? well, I regard that D&Co. as somewhat the Dem equivalent of the TPs)...and, of course, sometimes doubtful about the irony and contradictions involved in my extreme against extremes. :roll: :roll:

What the heck does the collapse of the currency in Weimar era you refer to have to do with USE of economic advance during Nazi era AS AN EXAMPLE of Keynsian economics, which was the issue you and I were debating. If you want to cite the Weimar instance as example of contradiction of Keynsian economic theory, put that to Marv. My issues with you, Dennis, are the misrepresentations and misinterpretations and misunderstandings and disconnects to issues that characterize your postings repeatedly...almost constantly, in fact. I'm not cheerleading for (as your pals here do for you) or disagreeing with Marv, just pointing out the somewhat extreme persistent malpractices in your disputing...the basic dishonesties involved, whether deliberate or from incomprehension.

stymie

Obviously due to your simple minded statements. No one but you can understand your illogical reasoning. Have you not recognized that yet?

Auction revenue is by law at least equal to the deficit and is in fact greater by the approximate amount of the debt interest expense.
