Publicly financed campaigns. No private monies. That means no donations AND no self-funding.
And dude. Foreign monies are what you worry most about? thats molehill stuff when a single donor is preparing to plot down a billion on their preferred candidate.
A sitting US Senator, in charge of the Senate committee overseeing the EPA, one of the most powerful men in the nation, stood up with a snowball and said global warming is a hoax because of snow (in winter).
All but one of the current GOP candidate for POTUS denies it.
Your entire post is a pile of denial (specifically Stage 4) proving the OPs point.
the USSR was a totalitarian oligarchy, unanswerable to its people.
And it's worth noting here that most developed world spending does nothing to help the environment.
its worth noting that the status of our environment now compared to 4 decades ago or so shows that you don't know what your talking about.
Finally, what's wrong with the environmental regulation of the past 40 years? Well, aside from being a job-killing morass that is. If you want to change environmental regulation, do so in a way that helps businesses rather than just encourages the ongoing shift of power to China and elsewhere.
Not job killing. Just more false BS from you. its not the environmental regulations that causes the shift of manufacturing to china. and given that it was the businesses that were the cause of the pollution that was the problem, the notion of helping them rather than stopping them is completely idiotic. like you.
The reality called 'The united States prior to the EPA' is calling. It would like you actually learn some history. We -DIDNT- have clean water. We -DIDNT- have clean air. Add in history prior to the FDA and food safety inspections and you also learn that we -DIDNT- have clean/safe food.
80% of the surface waters in the US were unfit for consumption, were polluted from unregulated dumping of manufacturing waste. It's -WHY- the Clean Water Act happened, and now you take that clean water for granted.
American air quality was then similar to China's problems now. It's -WHY- the Clean Air Act happened, and now you take the dramatically cleaner air for granted.
People died from contaminated foods regularly. It's -WHY- they started requiring the food supply chain to be inspected at nearly all stages, and now it's a big deal if someone gets sickened by an E Coli outbreak, yet the actual toll is usually minor, a handful of people, a tiny tiny fraction of what it was like prior to those evil regulations putting a stop to what used to be a common occurrence.
Your magical thinking that it all sorts itself out is blatantly ignorant of reality and our own nation's history. You are a fool. (also you apparently are ignorant of the definition of 'communist')
it claims to be about promoting science but the reality is it silences it. they are fake plays at 'transparency' made in an attempt to hamstring the EPA, NASA, NOAA, and anyone else whose science their corporate owners don't agree with. there is a reason virtually no honest scientist actually supports those trolls of a bill, besides the fact that there is no such thing as 'secret science' anyway.
No it wouldn't. To say it would shows a blatant disregard for the facts, or just simply blatant ignorance, as to precisely how much of the entitlement expenses, as you call them, they receive.
All these anti immigration idiots also forget that illegal immigration is creation of recent history. the 1960's specifically, as part of a bargain struck in the civil rights era. it used to be that the immigration caps on the new world were practically unlimited (something like 120k yearly, but much larger than the actual numbers), and since a lot of them were migrant workers who came up for the harvest season and then returned, they didn't count to it anyway, and no one much cared as, then as now, Americans generally weren't taking those jobs. creating the stricter immigration laws only caused them to stay put once they got here, creating a permanent underclass.
they talk about people coming here legally, as if the current, nearly impossible horribly expensive and requiring an inside friend, process was how it always was. when the reality is the odl 'immigration process looked more like this:
Man on dock: Welcome. Names? Immigrants: (names) Man on dock: Any of you sick? Immigrants: Nope. Man on dock: Excellent! Have fun! Good luck! It's a big country, go get ya a piece.
As usualy, what you posted is simply not true at all.
In fact, just one simple change that wont affect 99% of Americans would fix the manufactured Social Security crisis: raise or eliminate the income cap.
Right now only income equal to or less than $118,500 is taxed for Social Security purposes. Earn 200k, 5 million, or even a billion dollars? That's ok, still only taxed on the first 118.5k of it.
And of course, there's the other issues such as: it's not a Ponzi scheme, you against prove you don't even understand it or how it works, or even that the scare of it running out of money is purely manufactured BS. All of which is frankly tiresome reminding you at this point, so let cut to the chase: you're wrong, and ignorant, again, as usual.
A few inconvenient facts: -net immigration across the Mexican border has been 0 for the past few years -Hispanics call Obama the Deporter in Chief, since he's deported more immigrants than any other President before him, more than the last 4 combined -the number of legal immigrants is woefully tiny, as immigration to the US is practically impossible. the old dream of seeking a better life by just showing up at the door is long dead and buried; you can only get in if you already know someone inside
Hey, what's moving a few million immigrants when folks like Flyhelicopters think its perfectly reasonable to 'just move' the 4 billion people living near a coast as their answer to climate change and rising seas?

There's really no good solution here.
Yea there is.
Publicly financed campaigns.

multi decade cycle my ass: http://haveland.com/share/arct...
nope, not flamebait, no matter how much crashmarik's sockpuppet wishes it to be.
Facts matter not to the shill
So now you're even against mitigation ?
Just F it?
your stupidity knows no bounds, does it?
/p>There really is no serious denialism
The GOP platform literally runs on denying it.
A sitting US Senator, in charge of the Senate committee overseeing the EPA, one of the most powerful men in the nation, stood up with a snowball and said global warming is a hoax because of snow (in winter).

now go collect your shill check.

You are a fool.
(also you apparently are ignorant of the definition of 'communist')
that not an obvious rebuttal.
that's just moronic.
and stop pretending the choice is nukes or nothing.
you talk about ignorance while presenting one of the biggest examples of it.
Science is not a democracy
no one said it is, and to state such is to misrepresent what consensus means.
the bills are a charade.
a troll.
like you.
it claims to be about promoting science but the reality is it silences it. they are fake plays at 'transparency' made in an attempt to hamstring the EPA, NASA, NOAA, and anyone else whose science their corporate owners don't agree with. there is a reason virtually no honest scientist actually supports those trolls of a bill, besides the fact that there is no such thing as 'secret science' anyway.
now collect your silver and be gone shill.
Look, a troll talking about a troll bill.
The only idiots are those who pretend the choice is nuke or nothing.
Bwhahahahaa.
How can you post that tripe with a straight face?
+9999
Nail on the head.
No it wouldn't. To say it would shows a blatant disregard for the facts, or just simply blatant ignorance, as to precisely how much of the entitlement expenses, as you call them, they receive.
racists typically are not interested in facts.
Hey look.
A bigot modded up by four other bigots.
but look and read and learn first
No. you. http://www.cfr.org/global/glob...
And let's not just ignore the US's hand in destabilizing the region and exacerbating the conflicts you're referring to.
OBAMA IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!
Just you wait! /s
It'll happen soon!
Any day now!

Yep it was racist.
Congratulations, you've identified the problem.
Step 2 is doing something about it.
