    Blatantly untrue. They didn't do it before the Bush cuts devastated the economy, and they wouldn't do it if it was raised back to those levels.
    We are talking about Federal Taxes. You could argue they would move to another country..but then why haven't they done so already?

    reducing defense spending isn't nice. It will hurt entire industries.
    Current military actions are winding down. Frankly I don't think he really wants to be president, I think he wants to continue to make even more money from having a base of supporters who don't stop to think what his doing with the money. Every time he gets close, he says slightly loonier things until he falls back to where he is a 'hopeful'.

    I'm probably wrong their, but it certainly matches his pattern.

    And both statements are correct

    Google search plus change the ranking based on the USERS CHOICE. You say, use my profile to make the result more relent to ME means removing things not likely to be relevant to you. And since its a clear choice there really isn't a problem with that feature as a feature. It may lead to an echo chambers effect, but that's a different discussion.

    It's like you are complaining that when you enter cookie -baking it change the page ranking to remove baking.

    " but there really isn't much value in science for science's sake."
    Ladies and gentle men, the most ignorant thing ever said on /., right there. *Golf Clap*

    Pretty much everything you do comes from doing science for science's sake.

    Do you think Franklin wanted to see if lightning was the same thing as electricity so you could have a tablet computer?
    Do you think Tesla made his discoveries so you could listen to the Radio?

    Science for science sake shows how certain things work in nature. Sometimes that can be developed on, and sometimes not. You don't know until you try. That doesn't even take into account the science that goes on to do science for science sake.

    Myopic twit.
