    Capitalism fails when all the money is just in one pot too.

    I'd love to see an example of that actually happening any time in human history would be acceptable.

    Show me one Republican that will balance the budget. you can't.

    Ron and Rand Paul would likely be good for that. Auditing the Fed might be a little dicey though.

    Errr not Trump ? Little defensive there aren't you chief ?

  4. I don't think about you at all.

    Indeed, it is more of a delusional ranting that nobody would consider thinking.

    I didn't realize you were an old fart. Sorry thought you actually wanted to know what was happening.

    It's Trump who's the old fart in the big white house and it's him you'll have to shake in hopes of getting a new result. If you shake him long enough, and if you're lucky enough, he won't bankrupt the US like he did those six hotels/casinos.

    Yeah I mean that 9 trillion in debt Obama added is hard to top.

    Won't they?

    When it comes to Trump you get all the consistency of a magic 8 ball. If somebody shakes the old fart between now and the election we will get a totally different reaction to any election meddling from what he's rambling about now. In the absence of any consistency in this White House I'll believe he's willing to slap sanctions on Russia it when I see him do it.

    I hate to say this, but the executive order is likely illegal and a violation of the first amendment. The constitution extends its protections to foreign nationals while they reside in the country. Of course as Alan Dershowitz has pointed out, so far no one has a crime that actually involves the Russians. Well unless you count Mueller indicting a company that didn't exist until after the elections

    If the Russians have time travel this is all moot anyway.

    English isn't your first language is it ?

    Won't work. Immigration actually reduces the strain, as shown by the collapse of the NHS due to the ban on health tourism and foreign doctors.

    Lets see, more clients same number of hospitals same number of doctors = less strain

    Collapse of NHS ?

    Tell you what I'll let you take a mulligan on that come back when you can actually say what you think you mean

    Immigration actually raises wages by producing a richer culture and thus greater diversity in employment and therefore a stronger economy, as demonstrated by Britain.

    Because having a supply of labor that dwarfs the demand at any given price point lets people sell the labor for more ?

    Protective tariffs actually hurt social welfare programs by raising costs and reducing the supply of skilled workers and necessary gear.

    Would you like a mulligan on this one as well ? I am kind of curious how having people unemployed in an industry that is no longer existent in a country lowers the cost of any social welfare program, I am also kind of curious how having job opportunities for workers reduces the supply ? Perhaps the supply of the unemployed ?

    You heard that platform, yes, but not from anyone I would consider to be competent at business.

    The interesting thing about that is competency at business is objectively measured, not subjectively. It's both a pass fail sort of thing profit/loss and size of profit over time. So when you say " but not from anyone I would consider to be competent at business." all you are doing is saying the facts of the matter are irrelevant to you.

    Not surprising.

  16. Oh, so now you want anyone to vote?

    Aren't you just precious. I mean it's almost like you don't understand anyone means any legitimate voter.

    I remember when you were complaining that California lets anyone vote. Falsely, but still you went on a tirade.

    Sure you do. That anyone wouldn't have happened to be non citizens here illegally would it ?

    I mean it's not like there is a vast difference between allowing citizens to participate in any party's primary process vs not allowing non citizens who are here illegally participate.

    I fault you for your partisan support, as I know you would do a 360 and walk away if your immediate advantage was the other way, and for the tortious lengths of falsehood you use to justify it

    Looks up, sees someone who lied not once but twice before accusing someone else of being dishonest. I think that speaks for itself, even without your aggument consisting of nothing but the words "jungle primary" repeated over and over again. Just a thought given the amount of evidence you have brought out to make your case someone might think you don't even know how it works to make the case let alone prove that it provides a superior result.

    Oh just a note, doing a 360 would be a full rotation, you might wish / want to say is a 180 which aka an about face.

    But yes, I'm emotional. I love trains, so much that I want to cut, run, and spend the rest of my life in Europe and Asia so I can ride nice ones :D

    especially undocumented immigration that puts a strain on your social services and depresses the wages and bargaining positions of existing citizens. You might want to back that with a protective tariffs to keep the costs for social welfare programs from becoming unsupportable and having the industries that are vulnerable wiped out before they can adapt.

    Maybe so, but I was speaking about you specifically. That's what "It's great to see you", means. Being an agnostic Jew I am really not qualified to comment on the motivations of the religious anything. Well except maybe to make the observation that the left has mostly replaced traditional religion with a hodge podge of unsupported beliefs that they really don't understand.

    I suppose I'll have more to say about it, when their religion makes it out of alpha testing. I do however wish they would stop trying to fool themselves by cloaking it in pseudo science.
