The Obama Presidency

You know what saves lives? Not driving drunk. Personal responsibility trumps government intervention and safety nets every time.

The Bush tax cuts are bullshit

You can send me the money you don't want. I'll do more with it than our government ever would.

Throwing away the 4th amendment (and what equates to it in foreign countries) in the name of safety is quite popular these days. I bet we could convince tons of scared white people to let us put federal cameras up in every home in America if it would stop the scary A-Rabs!

Soooo Sen. Susan Collins (R [lol]) called the cops on the 9/11 first responders that traveled to DC to meet with the republicans that voted against them. She's a hero.

Cops and firefighters getting arrested in DC. Oh noes, guess they're no longer the Republican sacred cows. But yeah, if you're protesting anything or are anti-government you're gonna get the cops called on you, comes with the territory.

Fuck the police?

If only the police were like this right?

There's a certain doucher personality attracted to the police job. Just like how there are so many pedophile Priests. The job description, while innocent enough, tends to attract certain types of scum.

All they're doing is letting people keep more of the money that they already received. I don't see why you would object to this unless the economy had no excess capacity and no excess inventory and you feared inflation and if that were the case, the first thing I'd request is that the government cut spending instead of increasing taxes. Rather you should demand that you be allowed to keep more of the money that you already received. What is the issue here? Unless what you're really angry about is how that money was received by certain people in the first place.

That is true only because the government wouldn't do anything with your money aside from making a few accounting entries.

All this discussion is doing is pointing out the operational realities of our economy. Inflation is probably an overstated risk. Moral hazard is not, unfortunately, nor is the misallocation of resources from poor incentive structures.
