Dear Sir,
I appreciate you coming forward to inform me of this unpleasant business, however I am already aware of whom it was who hired you, and as of 43 minutes ago, they are deceased. Also of note, our security services are already tracking your whereabouts thanks to information gleaned from your message. To show my appreciation, I will give you a full 24 hours to say goodbye to you family and friends, and to make peace with whatever God you choose to believe in. If there is a particular place you wish to be at the time of your death, please be there, otherwise security services will carry out the task at hand in the wrong place. Please remember, do not wear the suit you wish to be buried in as it will most likely be damaged beyond repair.
I get it. You're a fucking idiot. You don't know what you're talking about, and refuse to learn about it. You are making stupid people embarrassed because they're now associated with you. It's been explained to you why you are wrong. If you continue to intentionally be wrong and lie about it, then you are no long simply wrong.. you're a lying sack of shit. That's probably an upgrade from what you normally are, but you should still strive to be better.
You are a fucking moron. You asked how something could happen, and i explained it...exactly how it has happened for the last 80 years. Then, you turn into a whiny little bitch because you don't like the way reality has been for the last 80 years, and you think for some reason it's some conspiracy you've just discovered. You ARE the definition of a fucking idiot. If you are too stupid to understand what a single word (budget) means, just don't say anything.... stupidity like yours will never lead to anything useful. Seriously, who failed you... your parents, your siblings, the school system, life in general where you should have gains some experience but you only gained more shit in your head? I'd imagine all of the above because you are the most useless dipshit i've seen in a while. All of the problems in this country can be traced back to fucking idiots like you.. too fucking stupid to learn, and proud of it.
Actually, you're a lot stupider than you think. You're just being an obstinate little bitch complaining about the way things have been done for 80 years while refusing to accept that's how it's been done for 80 years.
Think about it, dipshit.... say we're in the middle of a budget year, and some country attacks us. You're way we'd have to wait till the next budget is passed to do anything because there's no money to do anything. Reality says you pass an emergency spending bill and attack back. Are you seriously as fucking stupid as you sound?
I laid out how it works... you want to whine and bitch because you think your opinion is more important than reality, and you don't like (read as: understand) how it works. You ARE the definition of a fucking idiot.
You are a fucking moron. You are literally too stupid to learn the basics of this, and the basics are actually really fucking simple. You need to pull your head out of your ass.
Clinton had 4 years of budget surpluses. Those surpluses did not cover the off-budget expenditures. That means WE HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS, BUT THE NATIONAL DEBT WENT UP.
Clinton didn't invent off-budget expenditures, they've been happening since 1937. The year with the most off-budget spending while Clinton was president is LESS THAN EVERY YEAR that Bush was president.
Are you too fucking stupid to understand that? If yes, then how do you make it through the day being so fucking stupid?
Because you don't have a basic knowledge about anything, apparently, doesn't mean myself and the AC is wrong. Your continuing to dismiss it as wrong simply indicates you're ignorant, and proud of it. By the way... that means "stupid" to most people.
The budget is a yearly thing; the national debt is an aggregate total of ALL budget surpluses/deficits since the beginning of the country. Spending in a given year is mostly covered by the budget , however, there has always (at least, since 1937) been certain spending that is "off-budget," like spending resolutions (which Bush Jr used to completely remove spending on Afghanistan and Iraq off the budget).
If spending on the budget items ends up being less than what is budgeted, then you have a surplus. If in that year, that surplus is less than the amount spent on "off-budget" items, then you have a BUDGET SURPLUS , but the national debt still goes up. If, on the other hand, the surplus is more than the "off-budget" spending, then not only do you have a budget surplus , but the national debt will decrease as well.
So it's real simple: if you are too damn stupid to understand that, you should never talk on this subject again because you are just too fucking stupid.
If i knew you were simply a lying little shill, i wouldn't even try to educate you. Pull your head out of your ass.... even wikipeadia knows you're just being a lying bitch.
Certain spending called "supplemental appropriations" is outside the budget process entirely but adds to the national debt. Funding for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was accounted for this way prior to the Obama administration.
In 2013 CBPP estimated that, when the associated interest costs are taken into account, the Bush tax cuts (including those that policymakers made permanent) would add $5.6 trillion to deficits from 2001 to 2018.[8] This means that the Bush tax cuts will be responsible for roughly one-third of the federal debt owed by 2018
According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money.
Is it too much to ask for you to have just a hint of honesty or integrity?
The University of Chicago polled 38 economists, and 37 said it would blow up the country's debt. The one guy who responded that it wouldn't later said he misread the question, and, yeah, those other 37 are right.
The poster you're responding to doesn't have a basic understanding of how it works. He doesn't understand there is a difference between the national debt and the budget deficit. I remember watching that speech from Bush where he was saying the only important number was the 5.6 trillion projected 10 year surplus, and that we needed to give it back to the people.... what he didn't say was "fucking over everyone in the future who will have to deal with the national debt."
First, and let me say this bluntly... if you don't understand the difference between the national debt and the budget deficit , you probably shouldn't try talking about the subject. What part of "budget surplus" do you not understand?
Yes, the national debt kept increasing because there are several things that don't go through the budget. THAT has happened since the country has had a budget, but Clinton didn't add things to that off-budget group just to hide spending... Bush Jr. actually did intentionally hide spending with virtually all of the spending for both wars using spending resolutions. If you look at an aggregate yearly spending chart, there is always a number in the off-budget column. These are expenditures typically that they can't forecast, or are emergency spending resolutions... costs that come up unexpectedly after the budget has been adopted.
So, again, the budget deficit and the national debt are TWO SEPARATE THINGS. "There was budget surpluses each year between 1998 and 2001, 2001 being the last year of Clinton's budgets. In 2002, the first year of Bush's budgets, we once again had a deficit." And that statement is correct. Learn about what you are trying to talk about before doing so.
In the end, the first step to paying down the national debt is to have a control on the spending for the budget, and then run a budget surplus to pay down the debt. The problem is, republicans keep pushing up the budget deficit based on fantasy and outright lies.
There was budget surpluses each year between 1998 and 2001, 2001 being the last year of Clinton's budgets. In 2002, the first year of Bush's budgets, we once again had a deficit.
In 2001, the projected 10 year surplus was ~5.6 trillion, with the national debt standing at ~5.7 trillion. That means, if the projection held true, we stood within 11 years of eliminating the national debt. And, of course, we remember what republicans did: a tax cut, a give away to big pharm, and two wars put straight onto the debt. Given the choice, republicans exploded the debt instead of paying it off. They actively chose to fuck over everyone except the 1%. And lets put this in perspective... that tax cut was supposed to cost 1.6 trillion over 10 years, but over just 8 years our debt exploded to 10.6 trillion... a 5 trillion dollar increase... BECAUSE republicans chose to say "the debt doesn't matter," right Dick.
The Bush tax cuts are responsible for a full 1/3rd of our current national debt. You know, those tax cuts that republicans swore wer going to pay for themselves, increase growth, and increase revenue. And just as they did when Reagan passed his tax cut.... they didn't do anything the republicans swore they'd do. revenue fell (duh), growth was anemic at best (much slower job growth and slightly slower GDP growth than when Clinton was in office), and the national debt exploded.
And lets face it, this tax cut bullshit is ll based on Dick "the dick" Cheney's Laffer Curve which was never anything more than a line on a napkin...with no numbers attached. It was the basis for the supply-side economics bullshit that has driven this country into massive debt. Even the guy who developed it for Reagan says it doesn't work. But, true believes always have brown eyes.
Quite simply put... there are no fiscally conservative republicans. All there is is a bunch of anti-federal government, anti-American politicians that are leeching everything they can out of this countries coffers for themselves and their wealthy benefactors.
Because, of course, while you have have republicans screaming about spending less, they're pushing through tax cuts for businesses and the wealthy: https://www.politico.com/story...
Reagan enacted two tax cuts, one in 1981, one in 1983. 11 tax increases later Bush Sr. was elected and he... raised taxes more.... then Clinton raised taxes a record with a record breaking increase. Net results after all those tax INCREASES.... longest period of growth in US history, and a budget surplus for 4 years. Took republicans less than 2 years to fuck it all up.
I've got a great idea... if this tax cut doesn't do what republicans say it is going to (which it wont, because they NEVER have), then every single congress person that voted for it, and every single citizen who voted in those congress people... every one of them should forfeit every single penny they have to pay for their fuckup. Reagan cut taxes, the debt exploded; Bush Jr cut taxes, the debt exploded; Who wants to bet on a 30 trillion national debt in 5 years?
To some point, yes.... but i'm simply much more familiar with christianity, and the heretical blasphemy that a large number of US fake "christians" try to pass off as christianity.
Islam is no less a religion than christianity. What you really should do is replace "islam" with "chritianity" in what you wrote, and then go learn a little history with that viewpoint.... i'm absolutely certain you will be a little more than surprised... although it doesn't take much effort to actually learn history, so it seems you're not interested in reality, just on being ignorant.
Fascism, on the other hand, isn't limited to any single religion, although the examples we have seen have used christianity, not islam, as a focus. Fascism is a conservative nationalist movement, led by an autocrat or dictator, that typically espouses a strong military worship, abuse of a religion to control people, including forceful suppression of opposition, protectionism, anti-socialist, and persecution of racial and religious minorities.
The last time i saw a breakdown of the average "use" of religious charities received donations (and yes, it has been a while.. before this prosperity anti-christian gospel blasphemy started), 70-75% went to admin and upkeep, 20% was passed through to other religious groups (with a similar breakdown of those donations), and 5-10% used on actual assistance to ANYONE. That "assistance to anyone" was a mix of the actual members of the organization who had given the donations in the first place, and the general public...weighing more heavily towards the donation givers.
So, while you'd like to cherry pick your own little fantasy land of how churches work, i'll remind you i'm speaking of the US.... where self proclaimed "christians" consider Jesus' teachings to be a horrible excuse for giving out handouts (yes, i've actually had that anti-christian statement made to me from a self proclaimed christian), and where they put all their energy into things Jesus never taught, or even mentioned.... but they're willing to lie every time they open their mouths and say he did.
Jesus taught to feed the hungry, cloth and shelter those in need, help the sick and imprisoned. It's too bad such a large segment of "christians" in the US find those teachings to be abhorrent.
