Does seem a bit light on details, maybe that was just the newspaper article

Saints preserve us! Libertarians now is it? I suppose libertarianism's all right if you like the serfdom that monopoly and oligarchy bring.

I wonder if the OP's aware that the only regime in the world today pursuing a libertarian agenda is..........
Col. Gadaffi's Libya? :eek:
I know the Scots like him, but to slavishly follow his politics seems a bit much.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Odd, an hpc-er over here slagging off libertarian philosophy when so many of the hpc main boards heroes are American Libertarians.

Oh, thats right, you're the other kind of hpc-er, the socialist kind.

Private property ownership is evil, Stalin was a lovely chap, and now that hpc traffic fell off a cliff, I'd better find Hamish Mctavish and troll him somewhere else....

:rolleyes:

Back to Methuseleh with you Bernie......

Generali

I agree it is an interesting read.

The point about the difference between the UK and US 'stimulus' packages is well made - the UK has a fundamental structural problem to address as well as a 'cyclical' one.

The cyclical problem is clear for all to see. The structural problem is that the UK Government owes too much (especially when pensions are included) and spends too much. The structural problem is the biggie in the UK and I fear may be too large to be addressed; some kind of default on promises (pensions) may be inevitable.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder for sure.
CBT is an effective treatment, I understand. But is is unusual for sufferers to seek treatment - fear of exposure or inadequacy often causes defensive disdain of therapeutic processes.

The evidence is clear.

You have not contributed anything to these boards up until this point other than trolling my posts. It's your only reason for being here.

Gimme a chance.

I've only made 9 posts so far. The first 2 or 3 of them were slagging off a couple of BTLs who were on the verge of choosing bankruptcy as a way of avoiding their obligations. I think those threads got deleted for abuse. You're simply the next easy target. Ooops, better not feed your NPD too much.... :rotfl:

You post so much, and start so many topics, having a go at you is like hitting a barn door with a banjo.

But, Okay, I've read the article, and the text has practically nothing to do with the headline. I thought this was the juiciest part:

We're close to working off the housing excess.

Soooooo.... a 54% decline from peak average house price in the US is what's needed for a fundamentalist libertarian to get his jollies and say that the conditions are in place for an economic recovery. You really should read articles before you post them - they often contradict what you're trying to promote!

The US housing market and UK housing market are decidedly different creatures.

Despite all the hpc muppetry of claiming the UK follows the US, the two have behaved worlds apart, with the UK leading the US out of the crash, not the other way around.

Now, a 2 year old with half a brain could have told you that we simply don't have the massive cheap supplies of land, liberal planning laws, and cheap building costs that they do, thus we didn't have an oversupply of housing stock like they did, thus the two markets would behave differently.

And besides, this article wasn't about housing. It was about economic recovery from the recession.

Your trolling isn't working.;)

The economy and house prices are recovering no matter what you think or type.

But I will admit to enjoying watching all you trolls getting more bitter, angry and vindictive the more house prices rise.

Very satisfying indeed.

Keep up the good work.:T

Please save me from my debt-induceded predicament.


I need HPI so I can have some money to spend.
