If you live in a country where the government can expropriate your land and steal your money, you live in a socialist country.

In economics, the Dutch disease is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing sector or agriculture). The putative mechanism is that as revenues increase in the growing sector (or inflows of foreign aid), the given nation’s currency becomes stronger (appreciates) compared to currencies of other nations (manifest in an exchange rate). This results in the nation’s other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming cheaper, making those sectors less competitive. While it most often refers to natural resource discovery, it can also refer to “any development that results in a large inflow of foreign currency, including a sharp surge in natural resource prices, foreign assistance, and foreign direct investment”.[1]

Here’s a useful graph to keep handy for the next time Fox News airs a report about food stamp users buying lobster with their benefits.This month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics compared yearly spending between families that use public assistance programs, such as food stamps and Medicaid, and families that don’t. And surprise, surprise, households that rely on the safety net lead some pretty frugal lifestyles. On average, they spend $30,582 in a year, compared to $66,525 for families not on public assistance. Meanwhile, they spend a third less on food, half as much on housing, and 60 percent less on entertainment.
The Polish once again prove to be a national equivalent to a floater in a toilet bowl.Our Ambassador to Poland sent out tweets for Passover and Easter, the polacks decided it was a great offense to their historically Nazi loving asses that Jews should even be mentioned within their borders. Prompting everyone from common citizens to heads of state shouting various versions of “them damn Jews”.
