Well, I suppose you could spend some money on health care instead of the military, but that's a minor shift compared to what has already happened over the last 70 years.
Of course, little of the bailout money has actually been spent, and what has has gone to institutions that have not, in fact, started to increase lending. So we can see that the whole premise was indeed a lie, and opposing the bailout was rational.
Well, it seems to work better overall than the US. But not necessarily better than a mixed system like many in Europe. And our costs are also escalating out of control. It won't be very many years before health care consumes 100% of every provincial budget, and then we're all screwed.
You can't have a functioning democracy where significant numbers of people are scared of any serious candidate being elected. Down that path leads coups and civil war.
I don't get the fear about Obama, though. So he'll raise taxes on a few hundred thousand people. You have an 800 billion dollar deficit, ffs. You either need to cut spending or raise taxes a whole lot, and fast. Neither of them is gonna do that.
Both want to keep fighting in Iraq. Both will likely invade either Iran or Pakistan next year. I just don't see where the big difference is.
Just give me a check for $700 billion, and I'll fix it for you. I know, I know, as recently as 2 months ago, I told you there was no problem. And if there is a problem, it's one caused by my friends and ex co-workers. Who, coincidentally, I will be giving your $700 billion to. But I'm the man to fix it. Really.
If they aren't authorized, then they should be charged with copyright violations for downloading. They are, after all, admitting to doing so in sworn testimony. Can't have it both ways.
Who cares? You might want to ask your representatives why they're allowing the Fed to transfer trillions of dollars of losses onto the taxpayer's bill, though. Someone may actually have to pay that back someday.
Yeah, because massive central government has worked so well. That's why the middle class is growing, education is getting better, poverty and crime are non-existent, health and happiness are increasing... err, wait, where was that?
For 4 years of entertainment, it sure is. I've spent more than that on activities on one vacation before. $15/month for tens of hours of entertainment is dirt cheap, and $40 on an expansion every couple of years is nothing.
NetWare was a solid, highly performant file, print and directory services product that could run for years without rebooting. It did it's job much better than anything that has replaced it. A nostalgia for software that actually worked... yeah, that's pretty provincial. Not.

They're probably cheaper.
Why do people shop at Walmart? Same principle.
The US couldn't get more socialist if it tried.

Yeah it works well with our OpenLDAP setup.

You're confused. You still think this law is about terrorists.
a) You also have 2 Senators, which are a lot _more_ like Senators than your MPs are, in that they represent the provinces proportionally.
b) And yeah, your number of MPs needs to be nerfed bad. My MP in Vancouver has like 400,000 constituents.
2/3 of your oil is imported from other countries. How do you imagine the government could regulate your fuel prices to a "reasonable" level?
Are you a Friend of Hank? If not, I'd say nothing. In fact, you, or more likely your children or grandchildren, will get a hefty bill instead.
Pesky libertarians. They should just move to a country where freedom is encouraged.

The just send it to Verisign who transfers it unilaterally. Nothing the registrar can do.
He sends a court order to Verisign, which controls all .com names, is an American company, and obeys US court orders without question.
Rule #1 - don't use .com, .net or .org if you aren't an American company.
Better start locking up those Jehovah's and door to door salesmen.
Not to mention antibiotics and effective treatment of heart disease.

Not if that 3% is financed solely by debt. Which it has been since the early 80's. And which is all blowing up right now.
Yeah, because massive central government has worked so well. That's why the middle class is growing, education is getting better, poverty and crime are non-existent, health and happiness are increasing ... err, wait, where was that?
Biodiesel may be the answer. What was the question, again?
How to keep a billion cars running after the 40% of our primary energy production (the percent that comes from oil) starts to seriously diminish.
It's a pipe dream, but a lot of people wish it can be done.
Only when you first start them. The emission controls kick in after a couple of minutes and they're fine.

Because we don't go to their schools, date their daughters, or otherwise count as being human beings in their world.
