    My quick personal take on the Fire Phone: it is functionally and aesthetically awful

    Just like Amazon's website.

    GDP is not a good relation to debt. It is NOT the ability to pay off the debt. It's gross revenue, not net - which is what you use to pay off the debt.

    Actual tax revenues are net revenue. And tax cuts directly affect that.

    Really? So the military doesn't report to the executive branch?

    And all the departments of energy, HHD, DHS, etc don't report to the president either?

    The average family doesn't need to seat more than 4.

    Unless you or your kids have friends. Then, yeah, you do need more than 4 seats.

    Older kids do too.

    Hockey bags/football gear/their own suitcases.

    Plus, the minivan is essentially a pickup. In the Odyssey, you can put a 4x8 sheet of plywood down flat. Works great for everything but gravel/bark/loose particles.

    Yeah, that's called fiscal irresponsibility. And has applied to all Republican presidents for the last 35 years.

    Reagan went from $1T to $3T

    Obama went from $11T to $17T

    It doesn't fucking matter.

    America isn't dead yet?

    It's been in an unresponsive coma with no hope of returning ever since Bush put in the war powers resolution.

    America, as originally intended, is gone. Hold a funeral and move on.

    So, the Senate controls the markets?

    Really?

    Or is it just Reid?

    Not decades and decades of bad & manipulated & paid-for laws/regulations/state monopolies?

    Well, we paid for all that with $17 trillion of debt, and a behavior/thought process that it was ok, starting with Reagan and continuing to this day.

    Other countries are just waiting for it all to collapse and pick our bones.
