mastercilander Lol really? We’re talking about the amount of money you get from a tax cut, not the effect of cell phone use on the developing brain, or complicated fluid dynamics. You can easily find out how much money you get from a tax cut. This is not rocket science, it’s not even earth science 😂. You can look at your paycheck and see how much money you got, you can look on a website and see how much benefit you got from the tax cut. Adams is saying that despite all this, what matters is that people “feel” like they have more money (which isn’t even proven) and thus they spend more..money they don’t have I guess. Even though they have all the information right in front of them to know they don’t have any more money.

Creslin321 Creslin321 I understand what mastercilander is saying about Adams (not the sophistication part) and there is evidence of his theory to a certain point. It's the same reasons people in poorer states constantly vote against their own interests because they don't understand what these policies will do to them. HOWEVER, you are completely right as to where these things aren't hard to understand with a little more education on topics that affect them. People will point to the stock market and say they're doing well even if they have no stock themselves. Corporate media and politicians (Republicans, corporate Democrats) rely heavily on this lack of understanding from the common people and prey on their feelings.

Paul B do you have a link to this “admission”? I’m pretty sure you’re just misunderstanding what “savings” means in the context of running a business. Business leaders and the rich don’t hide their money under the mattress for a reason, and they aren’t keeping their money in low interest banks either without cause. They need a certain level of fluidity to run the business, of course, but that isn’t effected by the tax rate. In other words, I’m skeptical it’s as you guys are simplistically making it out to be, like the rich are just squirreling away all their extra tax money because as everyone knows, they’re greedy bastards.

Adams is fine. I don’t think he’s a focused or seasoned debater. If I had to guess he probably got into politics because of Obama or Trump. It’s kind of like when I talk current events with my family or a girlfriend. He mostly says things that are not well thought out or backed by evidence. Every once in a while he gives me a good idea or two to write down and go get data for, which makes my argument better for the future. He ignores the fact that the wall itself is NOT OBVIOUS, and NOT proven effective. To even GET TO his argument he would have to prove the wall effective and worth the money.

The thing David isn't getting is that it's not an either-or. You can work on the border and overstays at the same time. The border issue is solved just by keeping people out, whereas the overstays is more complex. A lock on your door is useful for keeping burglars out but doesn't do much for your abusive spouse who is already in the house. That is a different problem requiring a different solution and both concerns are important, and you can even say one is more important than the other, but you wouldn't leave your door unlocked just cuz you have internal problems as well. And really, 100% of illegal immigrants cause crime if you consider the act of illegal entry a crime, which I would say it is since there exist legitimate modes of entry for people like refugees. You can say more resources should be spent streamlining that process, but even in the best case scenario, the U.S. is not a battered women's shelter and it's simply not possible or desirable to take on all the world's problems. In fact, doing so hurts the host countries by removing people who would stand and oppose the sort of policies that led to them fleeing in the first place. You're giving them a release valve when you really need to get them to stay and fight to protect their home and kick out the abusive spouses there.

Also, his argument about overstayed visas automatically assumes that immigrants staying past their visa's expiration is a problem at all. How is it a problem? You have to make a case for that before assuming we all agree, because we don't. How is that a problem for everyday working-class people in the US? Also also, a border wall has proven to be an ineffective solution. If you TRULY want immigrants to come here legally, you would devote funds and manpower to processing them legally. You only talk about a wall if you have no interest in immigrants coming here.

@@lavia5521 Foreign banks exist to perform exactly the same way as America banks (to make more money from investment capital). American currency is used by successful foreign banks as capital to fund American industry and U.S. government debt. If a foreign bank has higher interest rates (and is considered a stable risk) , many wealthy people will invest with these banks, but the money is still U.S. dollars and useless without a paid exchange. Foreign banks rarely find it valuable to exchange the currency, then invest in other countries when the foreign dollars can already diversify their global portfolios without the added cost of an exchange. Research shows banks with foreign investors are global and the money is invested in the US by these banks.

I am reminded of the Titanic. The young man says he knows for sure that he is right because he has all the details, all the facts, while in the mean time the old man says things are not getting better and we need to try something controversial to change coarse just a little bit. One says more of the same, and the other says we need to try something different. One is a college instructor, the other is a very successful private entrepreneur. One has very little life experience, the other is very experienced. I know from 65 years of living in California that the State is changing. It has gone from the conservative mentality of my youth to an unopposed liberal agenda of today. Young people of today have no basis of comparison on which to understand the trends that leadership has imposes on the population. This young man spouts off facts and information based on inexperience and fails to understand that his sources are not precise. The old man is saying all sources of information are biased and you must trust your personal experiences. By the time the young man personally experiences the loss of his college teaching job to a illegal alien/immigration it will be too late to save our way of life. The world is a very dangerous place and it will destroy you if you let it. Our leadership lives behind walls and all sorts of security. In the old days this was not the case. The trend is for more security for the leadership and more of the same for everyone else. If the leadership had to depend on a wall for their personal safety then there would be a demilitarized zone along Mexico's border to match that of North and South Korea.

AtlanticBlvd Idk, while I definitely disagree with Scott, overall, I didn’t think it was that bad of a discussion. David has had some serious morons on, and Scott is definitely not what I’d call a moron. I’m not sure if he’s just naive for giving Trump/Republicans the benefit of the doubt, or generously assuming the most sincere and noble of intentions on their part (eg - we’re focused on the wall bc it’s what makes sense vs it being most politically expedient), or if he’s just playing some game, and not answering such questions in good faith. Either way, he does make a few interesting points (eg - what people perceive is typically more important than what actually is), and he does argue logically, even if his logic leads to bizarre or wrong conclusions (logical argument needn’t be valid, after all). I just with that they could have expanded this more, and talked about the broader context surrounding these things, bc talking about them in a vacuum (which seems to be what most benefits SA’s points) certainly doesn’t give you the full picture, and can certainly lead people to the wrong, or just invalid, conclusions. That’s my opinion, anyway, though I can see how this was nothing more than a headache to some ppl.. ✌🏼
