    Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Who care's if its unlikely? I'm asking you if you are capable of being honest with yourself enough to recognize failure when you see it.

    How do you know if something is unlikely if you can't even recognize what failure is?

    I don't think you can. Every answer proves it.

    So, we'll try again.

    I think the better question is, in your opinion, CAN the fed fail?

    What would a fed failure look like?

    i've already answered your questions and the fed isn't failing

    it's ludicrous to focus on something that's not likely to happen

    what's happening is that some looney people think they can make money off of gold if they continually say the sky is falling

    How do you know? You don't even know what failure is. You're proving it by side-stepping the question every time. You are trapped, and I'm going to pester you continually until you answer.

    So, we'll try again.

    Yes I am. I'm ok with that too. Are you?

    Why does it matter? You don't know what failure means anyways, so why even ask the question?

    Your "style" is a vapid nothingness of one-liners that take no identifiable positions, refuse to refute opposition with facts, and simply shotgun everyone with whom you disagree in a fusillade of slander, curses, and endless belittlement. You may be a high-ranking officer in Comrade Obama's "Praetorian Guard", but you're also about the closest thing to being thoroughly useless that I've seen in this Forum in over four years... and that's saying a lot.... Adios!

    So? At what point would you say the fed has failed? Give us a hint dujac. Come on buddy, I know you can do it.

    when the usa produces less than most other large countries

    then i think you would be able to say that the fed is a failure

    right now, the usa produces more than any other country

    Produces more what? Dollars? Obesity? Criminals? Teenage Pregancies? Abortions? Motor Vehicle Deaths? Bankers? LOL. If so, I agree with you.

    We don't have the highest gdp (food, tools, etc) per capita. Its not even close.

    1 Liechtenstein

    170,373



    2 Monaco

    167,021



    3 Luxembourg

    115,377



    4 Norway

    98,565



    5 Qatar

    92,682



    —

    Bermuda

    91,780



    6 Switzerland

    85,794



    7 Australia

    67,039

    —

    Macau

    65,551



    8 San Marino

    64,480


    Cayman Islands

    57,610



    9 Denmark

    59,581



    10 Sweden

    57,134


    11 Kuwait

    57,102



    12 Canada

    50,565



    13 Netherlands

    50,215



    14 Singapore

    50,087



    15 Austria

    49,686



    16 Finland

    48,887



    17 Ireland

    48,836


    So, there you have it. The fed failed. The USA does not produce more. USA is barely in the top 20.

    Oh yeah, and the USA is #4 in income inequality.

    Winner huh?

    you really have to be an idiot to think that liechtenstein is superior to the usa in production

    1) United States - 14,991,300

    146) Liechtenstein - 6,185

    Ahh, so now its superior, not actually the amount of production? Move the goalposts I see.

    Got proof the USA is more superior than most countries in the quality of production?

    You got a lot more to prove. I found the USA to be #1 in lots of bad things.
