US bonds have historically been good investments, because we _didn't_ 'default' by printing money.
That is going to change in the next 20 years, unless another currency goes 'pop' first and we are saved by capital flight. My money is on the Euro crashing and saving our ass.
That is what's known as an 'accounting trick'. It's bullshit and you know it. It's bullshit when the English take their pension obligations 'off book' and it's bullshit when the Americans take the SS debt 'off book'.
The bonds in the SS trust fund are certainly part of the national debt.
Destabilizing the middle east is what he did right.
The hog fuckers are now fighting each other. Yeah Bush, great job.
Bonus. Europe now has economic refugees in almost the numbers America sees. We don't have to hear their idiotic opinions about Mexican and central American illegals as much as they are starting to understand.
The Republicans will hang Bernie around Hillarys neck in Florida.
His quotes about 'supporting Castro' will cost the Democrats any chance there.
Hillary in fact HAS to run away from the commie. He has too long a history. The republicans let him get away with claiming 'democratic socialist' during the primaries. Same as the Ds would have let David Duke get away with calling himself a 'Mainstream conservative'. That will all change in the general.
He went to the USSR for his honeymoon for fucks sake.
Colorado fucked up legalisation badly. Overregulated, every plant tracked from seed to bud etc etc.
California has it right. Wild west, rules set by county. Many of which have pot as their number 1 cash crop and the core of their economies. Not just Humboldt and Trinity either.
Flint took 100 years to fuck up their whole town. Primarily by taxing business out.
The Flint city manager appointed is a Democrat. The governor's only responsibility is for not appointing a Republican city manager (as he should have). But that would have been called 'racist'. Also note that Flint was building a new supply pipe, Detroit got wind of it and demanded a 50 year contract before the pipe was complete, Flint had to find a new temporary supply or get fucked by Detroit. There were no Republicans involved in any of that.
Peru's privately funded new water system is saving thousands of lives per year. Of course leftist complain, but that is what they do. In the meantime people have clean water for the first time.
Government isn't terrible at running things in the short term, in the long term you always get 'British Rail'. Where a cash cow got turned into a money sink that couldn't accomplish it's original purpose.
Jesus, play a little KSP before you start lecturing on orbits.
It takes one half orbit to do a minimum energy transfer. That's half an eccentric orbit, so longer than half an earth year. 9 months.
Donalds plan to print money is _EVERYBODIES_ only plan. Nobody is even thinking of balancing the budget without accounting tricks. The question is do we print money when out of options, or do we print money at the strategically best time, like right after the euro craters...
No the tax raisers aren't thinking of balancing the budget. They just want to spend. We're still owed the tax cut part of Grahm-Rudman, no new spending until it's done.
Your car is as likely to start running on air as pinhead is to become an adaptive trait.
These traits are good or bad IN THE PRESENT. Same as an empty gas tank.
Claiming we have no knowledge of the future and cannot plan anything is just stupid. Not having 100% confidence is not the same as having no information.

You accidently hit on the key point.

SS trust fund has bonds as an asset.
The treasury has those very same bonds as a liability. 16% is the single largest number. You undermine your own position.
You _aren't_ stupid enough to believe your own argument. Why are you in parrot mode today?

There is an element of corporatism in America. But it's not fully there.
For near classic fascism look at China. Nominally socialist but really just authoritarian with the communist party in power.
Have you ever talked to a legal hispanic about wetbacks? It's where I learned the term.
In practice; yes they do. And when they get caught, it's treated as no big deal.
The Ds are also still voting the graveyard, nothing changes.

Just make things up. No problem.
Colorado fucked up legalisation badly. Overregulated, every plant tracked from seed to bud etc etc.

The front of your work place is public property. You could hurt, annoy or damage the property of someone that matters.
If you want to burn yourself, do it where you won't bother anyone.

Except there was no demonstration in Benghazi. It was a planned attack and the demonstration story was a lie.
You're trying to change her story.
She and her staff said it wasn't planned and was a spontaneous demonstration related to some dumb video. That was a big fat lie and they all knew it.

He _proved_ everything did not revolve around the earth with his observations of Jupiter's moons.
Engineering is more than applied physics.
Engineering is the union of applied science, business and art.
They hated the commies because they competed for the same political space.
Then nationalised/expropriated industries. Enough that the rest their industry dropped into line from fear.
In the 30s 'capitalist' was code for 'jewish bankers'.
You fell for the post WWII soviet propaganda.
All bolshevists are Marxists, not all marxists are bolshevists, some were Nazis.
Not good, just better than euro.
The alternative is just never come back and tell the IRS to pound sand.
If you do come back after that, it can be ugly.
Say 'no thank you' and keep walking.
How? Paper trail.
Once in any traded currency it's relatively easy to convert to another. But even there, paper trails are everywhere.
British pounds are certainly a better long term investment than euro.
It would be nice if just one of the examples you gave wasn't supported by 'progressives'.
As they are the ones that left, no surprise.
