Horseshit. One side concedes a bit on marijuana, in return the other side concedes a bit on another issue. In this fashion gridlock is avoided, compromises are made, the country moves forward and citizens are happy. No one gets everything he wants, yet no one gets nothing either. Sadly, you see the world only in black and white and are thus blind to so much in a world filled nuance, subtlety, and color. Egocentricity and self-righteousness you excel at above all others, but your perception and logic are badly flawed, D'Artagnan.
Don't be a simpleton. Raising the debt ceiling is not about spending in any fashion. It is about paying the debts we have already incurred. Cutting future spending does not make those obligations disappear.
i am not happy. i am completely disillusioned. nobody stands for shit. honesty is punished, mediocrity rewarded. every modern leader is a fuckhead. it doesnt have to be like this. among the founding fathers were rational intellectual non-religious small government types. patrick henry didnt say "give me liberty.....or maybe give me something else, lets make a faggoty bargain" i know, its kinda fun.
Perhaps. More likely you are the fuckhead, amigo. Best to hear it from a friend. You speak like a man who has never had to live with the consequences of his actions in his entire life. I am not surprised. Prudence doesn't enter into your thinking. Neither does practicality, real world variables, sympathy for others, cause and effect, or the principle of diminishing returns. One can adhere to a philosophical principle beyond the point where it is noble and into the area where it hurts you or others or the nation. it is entirely possible to take a philosophical issue too far. Enjoy. It enhances both your reputations as an iconoclast and as a bemused and somewhat loony elitist. I'll repeat myself for the third time and use small words . . . Raising the debt ceiling was not about spending. It was about paying the debts we had already incurred lest we go into default. Cutting spending does not make those obligations disappear or affect the debt ceiling at issue. Only establishing future debt ceilings in line with future spending could what you describe take place.
I say fuk it. Pass out rice and beans instead of welfare cards. Cut SS checks to everyone under 65. Do away with ALL subsidies. Cut all payments to foreign countries. Bring the military home and point nukes at any country deemed a threat. Mine the borders and shoot on site. No more free phones and housing. Pass out tents. Reduce the politicians wages to minimum wage and pay by the hour. No more cost of living raise bullshit, theyre the reason for the rise in cost of living for Christs sake. Do away with secret service, when your 4 is up get in the family car and take your ass back to your old home. No more taxpayer funded abortions or births. If you can fuck you can pay your own bills. Get a job. If your car company can't make a profit because of pensions and unions, tough shit. Fire their asses and hire some people that will work for an honest wage. Legalize pot, why should politicians have all the fun. Return all suspected terrorists back to where ever they were captured. In the belly of a b52 strapped to a 500 lb bomb. Make it easier for law abiding citizens to acquire and carry firearms and they'll make a cops job a whole lot easier and save taxpayers millions in prison housing. Enact tort reform and term limits. And last but not least. Make it mandatory for the presidential candidates to have to pass NIS background check. If its a recquirement for military personnel working with the nukes it should be mandatory for the SOB that has his finger on the trigger.
Red you didn't take that seriously did you? That was one of the funniest diatribes I have read on this board. I laughed my ass off when I read it.
If elected president. I will take %50 of everyone's money that makes over $250000 and apply it to the welfare system. I will add gasoline and alcoholic beverages to the list of items you can buy with food stamp card. I will also give all welfare recepients a$12000 a year tax credit for housing. I will also make a college education free to you. College professors will be capped at $35000 a year for those with masters and $45000 with Doctorate. Everyone will get a voucher for $10000 to purchase a new GM or Dodge vehicle and $10000 tax credit for purchasing a windmill or solar panel for your house. The wealthiest Americans that live in houses with more rooms than occupants, will be forced to take in an occupant, deemed low income, to fill said extra rooms, or be fined at a rate of $25000 or %5 of gross income. Whichever is more. All firearms will have to be turned in to law enforcement. It is not the right of the individual to protect his/ her property or self. That is the responsibility of the state and the UN. So call 911 you dont need no gun. All people will be recquired to carry health insurance. %40 of All life insurance payouts will belong to the state. Your heirs didnt work for the money so they dont deserve it. If you can't afford the recquired policies the govt will add additional taxes to those that can in order to pay for yours. Anti-govt rhetoric will not be allowed. You will be questioned, audited Nd/or imprisoned for any anti govt rants, protests or comments made. I'm Democrat candidate Ameriki Duna Shitdabeddy and I'm running for POTUS.
