OBAMA needs to Learn Economics Part 1

"All things are subject to the laws of cause and effect." - Menger

This is not philosophy but truth on causation.
Physics teaches us that energy is neither created nor destroyed.

What do you think free market thinkers speak of when we discuss the market fluctuations?
Whenever there is an interference within the market, it will have to react in order to re-stabilize.
The more you interfere the more the market will have to fluctuate.

What Obama does not understand, is that by the government not interfering within the market the individuals will not have halted. They will still be buying and selling. Their actions will be the cause that effects other's actions. This is how the market fluctuates.

I would like someone to explain to me how this is philosophy, or does someone want to take the side of explaining how government action actually means individual citizens actions.
We act with or without governments actions. Our actions do not need government involvement for them to affect one another.

Let us remember the lesson Henry Hazlitt wanted everyone to learn in his first chapter of Economics in One Lesson.
"The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the con- sequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups."

Part Two following shortly on "Government will create more jobs"

Wisdom from the Gossip Crowd

Last week, Dan Klein had met with a group of students on a draft of his recent paper. During the discussion he had raised a question that all students with the love for liberty usually ask themselves , "How come I get it? How come all these other people I know get it, but the everyday citizen does not get it?" The "it" being government intervention within our personal lives being more harmful and not as efficient as the market. Those in the room shared his agony with the question and for me coincided with the question, " Why does the battered wife not leave her beating husband? " The solution was simple when I sat around a table with my cousins and my wife and heard a discussion of a guy who felt he owned the world going out with other girls and yet his girlfriend stays by him. When the remark was made that his girlfriend was stupid for staying by him, I heard the words that made me understand why people still don't get "it". " She belie...

Subjective Value through Non-Austrians

By
James Buchanan in his book The Reason of Rules(10.2.9) states: The individual is the unique unit of consciousness from which all evaluation begins. Note that this conception does not in any way reject the influence of community or society on the individual. The value structure of an isolated human being may be totally divergent from that of such a person described by membership in one or many social relationships. The presupposition requires only that societal or communitarian influences enter through modifications in the values that are potentially expressed by the individual and not externally. Armen Alchian and William Allen in Exchange and Production: Competition, Coordination, and Control : Groups, organizations, communities, nations, and societies are best understood by focusing on the incentives and actions of their members. A business, union, or family may be formed to further some common interest of its members, but group actions are still the results of decisions of individu...
