  1. Re:More failed tech policy from the Clintons on Clinton Tech Plan Reads Like Silicon Valley Wish List (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the commodity futures modernization act or whatever it was called, which caused oil to rise in price meteorically. Now before the Democrat apologists start in that the 'pubs forced it, he signed it in the last few days of his presidency when it didn't freaking matter anymore. He did this because he is NO FRIEND of the American people. And neither is she.

    Unfortunately, a vote for a libertarian or someone else is a vote for Hillary.

    The late 90s economy existed because of the collapse of the USSR, and lowering of spending on military "stuff" is why the budget balanced = plus putting excess ssi contributions in the general fund. Now that ClintonBushObama has had policy to outsource everything, it'll never occur again. How do you have taxpayers in a country when high paying work was outsourced?

    No. A handgun versus an AR15 , or any magazined rifle, doesn't matter. If you hit the rifle bearer with a bullet from a cartridge fired from your handgun, you've done so.

    It's why whenever someone mentions the organization "Queers for Palestine" and engages in anti-Israel commentary I just have to laugh.

    Compare and contrast how frequently this happens. I think the "moderate muslims" are way ahead of any type of Christian in the latter half of the 20th century in the USA.

    Yes, but small game and varmints are perfectly legal with a .223 - such as coyotes.

    If you want to live in 9 square meters - which is what a soviet citizen got for housing - go for it.

    These economic miracles occurred because of two things: 1. The destruction of WWII, and the infusion of American Marshall plan money 2. The fact that these countries did not pay for their own defense.

    >All that said, the US president today has more effective control over the US citizenry than the British king did over British citizens in the 1700's. His legal control is less, but his effective control is greater. And even the "liberal" politicians are continually trying to increase it. Indeed, the 'liberal' politicians seem to be trying to increase it faster than the 'conservative' politicians (who are NOT conservative).

    Because, for the most part, smart people do not believe that "they" will be some of the proles who are controlled and monitored. Useful idiot is a term that comes to mind.

    You are clearly a product of the American education system. They were NOT just words, but ideas on which this republic was based. Unfortunately, the worst generation of all time, the Boomers, have destroyed this nation. And NO I'm not a millennial.

    At this point, the funding doesn't matter anymore. The problem is that we have a society that says being ill educated is desirable, and what everyone should be. You could spend $10m per pupil and it wouldn't make a difference. In the 1960s, doing science was considered cool, even if the kids were somewhat geeky - and we had a manned landing on Earth's moon. Today? Don't make me laugh.
