Thank you for proving my point. Notice that line marked "Debt without the three policies". With or without the tax cuts, there was no surplus.
The line saying "Where we thought we'd be" was based on the Dot Com bubble lasting. But when thousands of start-up companies collapsed, laying off millions of highly paid workers, tax revenue goes down.
We're on a public website with people posting crap all day long. How detailed do you want me to be when replying to a four sentence posting that ends with "Why is it you and other republicans lie so much?"?
And I'm sure some of your colleagues voted for Trump. How does that make you feel? Do you tell your non-liberal coworkers to fuck off?
They elected a know nothing, anti-science, scandal-ridden vulgarian asshole with an agenda to fill his own and his family's coffers by grifting the presidency, to enact bigoted legislation, to dismantle the government, and has no clue or interest in how a government functions.
No, Hillary didn't win. Your fears are ungrounded. I mean, if that is what you were worried about. Or do you just oppose those types when their name isn't followed by a 'D' on the ballot?
The Democrats thought the same thing in the early 1970s. They implemented it as they could, and then Jimmy Carter won the presidency. The 'no growth' policy went nationwide. Ask your parents how that turned out.
Federal debt in one's own currency is only a problem when the interest being paid is large enough to drive inflation.
Wrong. It is also a problem when the rest of the world stops using your currency as the standard international currency. Which is what the world is doing.
What country controlled the world reserve currency before the US did?
Is it? Remember, we can pay off all those trillion by just printing money, but that would create huge inflation...So the size of the debt is only important in how much payments drive inflation.
It was gone before W took office. Or are you too young to remember the dot com crash? Poof, there went all the enhanced tax revenue of the late nineties.
I know Hawaii doesn't use Daylight Savings Time. When I was there, we had to remember that twice a year our contacts on the mainland had different office hours compared to ours.
The submission could have mentioned that. With all the gender bending in the news now, it made the post almost unreadable, because we were all trying to figure out which "Ms" it was talking about.
It's funny you say that. The first time I had to make a similar list, I asked the European leftist* commenter what made US Democrats not leftist, and his response was related to owning property, and not just "a home".
Well, you can base your definitions of words based on what a single, random internet poster said if you like.
If it was a single random poster, I wouldn't base my argument on it. It has been every random poster I have posed the question and list to.
And, for the record, in the posts I am talking about I didn't say "Hey, European leftists! I bet you are all communists who don't believe in personal property. Here's a list of the US Democrat planks to proove it."
As I stated, I put forth the list of the common Democrat planks, and asked what among them is on the right. The responses each time, explaining why the US Democrats are not on the left, came down to property ownership.
You can pout about it all you want, but that is the true European leftist position without the varnish of appealing to the right-wing US audience. I exaggerate slightly by saying "If you believe in ownership of your home, you are right-wing." But only slightly. The real position is more along the lines of "you are allowed by the government to claim ownership of property, until we decide otherwise", which incidentally is the current position of the leftist Venezuelan government.
However, when you're misunderstood and misunderstand people, the fault will lie entirely with you.
No, I understand people quite well. I understand that when they say the US Democratic Party is right-wing, they base that on their own beliefs of what separates left and right in politics.
No, I am responding in accordance with several conversations I have had on this very website, asking the difference between the "European left" and the "US left".:shrug:
Go look at some actual European leftists,
You don't seem to understand the fact that I was talking to "actual European leftists" when I gave them the list. They might not be some well known names, but they are responsible for their own opinion.
e.g. Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. He's a right old raving red, but has not come out against private ownership of stuff in general. Or if you prefer something a bit more continental, look up Hamon of the French Socialist Party: he's running a presidential campaign so there is TONS of information about him and what he wants right now.
OK, I just read a bit about them. Still doesn't change that the people I have asked what makes the US Democrats a right-wing party could only mention ownership of property as the main point.
I'm a liar for using a bit of hyperbole? That's a bit overboard.
As far as my original post, this post shows I was correct. Once the pressure was released, the sample was gone. Or did they say they found tiny flecks of metallic hydrogen in the rubble of the diamond vise?
My reasoning for not believing hydrogen is metastable after being under enough pressure to turn it into a metallic solid, is that we would have seen samples of it, because at some point in the last 15 billion years, it must have been under such high pressure at some place in the universe. As the saying goes, we are made of star-stuff. Show me the naturally occuring flecks of stable metallic hydrogen that were created in some gravity well. Until then, accept that some times common sense leads to correct answers.

The surplus was based on the Dot Com bubble of the nineties. When that bubble burst, so did the tax revenue based on it.
But I loved what you did with your "alt" meme there. Maybe next time you should put it up in a bow.
We don't need growth. .
The Democrats thought the same thing in the early 1970s. They implemented it as they could, and then Jimmy Carter won the presidency. The 'no growth' policy went nationwide. Ask your parents how that turned out.
You need to learn what "projection" means, because your post is full of it.

Is that what they're calling it nowadays in those movies?
They proved that Democrats can't count. The number you are looking for is 306, which proves you are a partisan tool.
Is killing a bear with a spear holier than doing so with a rifle?
They have to believe it is. Whether it is different or not doesn't matter.
Rather than make everyone google it.

Very few women go by the name "Jack".
The submission could have mentioned that. With all the gender bending in the news now, it made the post almost unreadable, because we were all trying to figure out which "Ms" it was talking about.
Does the article say that? I don't see it during a quick once-over.
The picture caption lists both names. No idea if the woman in the picture is one or the other.
"Timey wimey"?? Is that how I speak now?
Would you accept a warm damp towel from a McDonald's employee?
Red Lobster may not be real haute cuisine, but their cheddar bay biscuits sure taste great.
So, a guy who plays with his wife's boobs has contempt for her? A woman grabbing her boyfriend's dick has contempt for him?
Does Brianna have a penis? If so, ze is a man.
