No, he's an idiot and I need to flee the country before people like him take total power and I need to stay the hell away if I hope to remain in as good of status I'm in now.

Anyway, the debt isn't the worst symptom, it's the excessive public spending which causes excessive spending everywhere. However, the root of the symptoms is the Federalists and those who want inequality by force of govt arms, then an exchange medium legislated by govt whether it's created (like fiat money) or altered (like govt mints).

Corporate welfare is much larger than social welfare. Ignore the vulgar libertarians.

Here come the numbers. Or maybe not.

Beg your pardon?

In terms of intellectual coherence, analysis, thoughtful conversation, and sheer volume of output (in number of posts and writing per post) Clayton's contributions qualitatively and quantitatively dwarf the attempts at "contribution" posted by greenbabe.

"Most of the time, the sky appears blue in day light."

Paul Ryan said that. We all need to vote for him!

Therefore, greenbabe contributes more value to the community than Clayton.

This isn't true as stated.

This is according to a "points" system (which has been critiqued before on these grounds), which adds a fixed amount of points merely for posting. Only in this manner can it be said that greenbabe contributes more "value" (really, it's "points") to the community than Clayton- but it's per post.

In terms of intellectual coherence, analysis, thoughtful conversation, and sheer volume of output (in the number of posts as well as the amount of writing per post) Clayton's total contributions qualitatively and quantitatively dwarf the attempts at "contribution" thus far posted by greenbabe.

greenbabe - can you find a single person that says most our future debt isnt from entitlement programs? our future entitlement debt is multiple times over the entire world's GDP combined.

Interesting. Who's Paul Ryan? What else did he say?

Re: You guys agree with Paul Ryan!?

To Whom It May Concern:

Clayton's average point per post is 17.73, whereas greenbabe's average is 58.82.

Therefore, greenbabe contributes more value to the community than Clayton.

~~Fuck off.~~

Most people here might agree with paul ryan on 1 or 2 things but not on all things. I personally on vote for candidates that consistently hold most of my views. Paul ryan doesn't.
