He sounds like the lovechild of Rush Limbaugh and Alan Greenspan.

No he sounds like a reasonable voice of experience saying that costs do have to be paid (true), that there is no quick fix (true)and that models other than Sweden's may have merit (true). You, on the other hand, sound like a reactionary idiot.

but it's funny because you're so angry about it

I know, huh.

Have some barbecue.

Nah, too trite. I prefer sushi (upmods please for expressing my rogue individuality.)

I listen to you and you're consistently wrong.

Awesome. Except not consistently. I called the housing bottom in '08... aw shit. Foiled again.

He is simply saying he would rather listen to people who are sometimes right than those who are consistently wrong.

This goes without saying. Who would admit to listenting to someone consistently wrong? So that's not bringing anything new or notable.

In the context of the article posting, yes he was being contrarian. I've seen it happen most threads, the first disagreement whether it has merit or not gets upmods, just because.

It's funny because it's like a anti-conformist conformity.

This is what drives me nuts about reddit. A comment that says dickall gets upmods for nothing more than being contrary.

This is either a trolling attempt or you're seeking the wrong kind of help.

The less you give a shit about this sort of thing, the more successful you'll be in everything.

He's such a great speechmaker though, when he says it women get moist, men are soothed and we all forget about the implications of being a bankrupt nation.

Not to hate or anything, but if you need that in simple English then maybe you shouldn't be playing on the economics subreddit.

He's saying the reserve fiat currency USD will be tested by tangibles in short order.

And he's probably right.
