Mike, you just said nothing in 3 paragraphs. You could replace other politician’s names, other programs, other broad headlines, and say, “this works, that doesn’t”. That was one he’ll of a take down, and if it was anywhere near the truth, it might have hurt my tender feelings. But I don’t who you were talking about. It sure wasn’t me.
What a stupid pattern of thought. You think you are better off today? You damn well better be. There are two items happening here. One is you are better off on borrowed money. Big deal. When are you going to pay for all this barrowed money? I bet you don’t have a clue or even care. The second item is you are not going to pay off the barrowed money. You are going to devalue the money with inflation so the debt will not be a problem. What happens when you do this is that every country in the world whose economy is based upon the dollar ends up getting screwed. But I don’t think you entitled socialists give a damn. And it is not a matter of being Republican or Democratic. It is the me, me, me, entitlement way of thinking. Open your eyes a little bit. Hillary is going to push us deeper into the caste system. Is that what you want to pass on to your children?Mike Yohe said: You have a very high IQ and are quite talented with a lot of your postings. But will you please get the hell going in a positive direction! I’m not the one that needs to go help out at the soup kitchen. I have help in those areas by being on the board of a rehab organization. It seems that you are that one that needs to experience the real time mechanical of how this world operates. And it is not just you. Look at the things Obama has done. Yea, they look good on paper and sound good. And in their minds should work and solve the issues at hand. But, when implemented, the real world of reality come crushing down.And you believe Trump can lead us skillfully through the pitfalls of the real world? p.s. All those crushing world problems were not created by Obama, but his Republican predecessors who ran the train into the ditch. Obama managed to pull us out and last I heard the nation is doing a hell of a lot better today than when he took office. It is sooo easy to forget the past when it contains inconvenient truths. Are you better off today than when Obama took office? I know I am.

What a stupid pattern of thought. You think you are better off today? You damn well better be. There are two items happening here. One is you are better off on barrowed money. Big deal. When are you going to pay for all this barrowed money? I bet you don’t have a clue or even care. First, resorting to ad hominem does not add weight to your arguments. Having had most of my education in Holland (you know that “socialist” country), and English is my second language, allow me to bring to your attention that the word “barrow” is defined by Webster as;
Definition of barrow,
1 : mountain, mound —used only in the names of hills in England
2 : a large mound of earth or stones over the remains of the dead : tumulus
The proper word is borrow. Where did you get your education? At Trump’s University?
The second is you are not going to pay off the barrowed money. You are going to devalue the money with inflation so the debt will not be a problem. What happens when you do this is that every country in the world whose economy is based upon the dollar ends up getting screwed. But I don’t think you entitled socialists give a damn.Oh, what irony! It is Trump who is going to build that wall and make Mexico pay for it. You know how? He is going to default on our trade deficit with Mexico. That’s Trump’s way of screwing the countries we owe money to. We have several thousand lawsuits to prove that fact.
So, you think Healthcare is not an implied right (entitlement in a wealthy and civilized society) and not in the spirit of the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
And it is not a matter of being Republican or Democratic. It is the me, me, me, entitlement way of thinking.Oh, I agree with you on the first part, and you are of course talking about the income disparity in the nation.
The distribution of income is even worse. In 2010, 93 percent of all new income went to the top 1 percent, while the bottom 99 percent of people accounted for the remaining 7 percent. “We have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth, worse today in the United States than at any time since 1928 before the Great Depression," Sen. Bernie Sanders told Ed Schultz.http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/recent-business/income-inequality-in-america So, who practices the "me, me, me" way of thinking in reality, a word you are so fond of using. All the great works are accomplished on the backs of the workers and the rich make the profits. Seems fair that the workers be treated with the best of care, so they can continue to do the "heavy lifting".
Open your eyes a little bit. Hillary is going to push us deeper into the caste system. Is that what you want to pass on to your children?What a bizarre flight of fancy, using Hillary's name in context of being a threat to the welfare of children. Your entire argument amounts to a barrow of beans.
Open your eyes a little bit. Hillary is going to push us deeper into the caste system. Is that what you want to pass on to your children?And here's another part of the Mike system; introduce a new word. Give us something to respond to with "wait, what?" Giving him a chance to lead us off in another direction and hopefully forget that I explained Keynesian economics in the other thread because he doesn't want to respond to that.
Yea, it is tough being in business in the United States. Look how Trump’s life time legal actions compares to Wal-Mart with over 5,000 lawsuits every year. It is really tough trying to do business in this country. When you get a country full of lawyers, there will be a great number of lawsuits over money. Now how many lawsuits over money would you say that it takes to equal the wrongful death lawsuits against Hilary?Remind me. How many have there been? Details, please.Oh lookie, another challenging question that Mike's ignored. Typical Right Wing behavior. Over the top claims, no substance to support said claims, but the self-certainty of his conviction never waivers.

Seems fair that the workers be treated with the best of care, so they can continue to do the "heavy lifting".I had to look up “hominin". Haven’t seen that used in some time. But, either you are missing the point or I have very bad communication skills. I am picking on the “ideas" or “thoughts" of the subject matter. I have no problem with Write4U. And about the term “barrowed". :lol: It falls into a real gray area. We printed the money. Then sold bonds, then bought the bonds ourselves. So, the question becomes, where is all this printed money? And what is the collateral for the bonds backing all this “borrowed" money for the stimulus programs? The idea is, we don’t need any backing because the economy growth consumes the debt. This system has saved several worldwide depressions. It is known as the Dawes Plan and Marshall Plan. And we have not had any depressions for a long time because we now base our economy on inflationary recessions. The main problem is, that just using helicopter money isn’t working anymore. Not just for the dollar either. The main subject of the big meeting coming up in the EU is that the stimulus isn’t working anymore for the Euro either. Hillary’s plan to print more money and create high paying jobs is total bull shit. China is working around the clock on their system of a second safe haven currency to replace the dollar. You can bet your sweet ass that China wants Hillary in the office.Open your eyes a little bit. Hillary is going to push us deeper into the caste system.

Bernie Sanders told Ed Schultz.http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/recent-business/income-inequality-in-america First of all, let me do a disclaimer. I really don’t know that much about Burnie. The reason is I can only dedicate my free time to certain issues. Burnie never made the cut. Subject – reason for the unequal distribution of wealth. I agree with what Burnie is saying about the 1% and how uneven the wealth is. A socialist system is not the best answer because most of the time there is no wealth in the socialist countries. The problem is not with the 1%. The problem is with the power that keeps the money flowing to the 1%. Hillary is proven that she will keep the money flowing to 1%. Therefore Hillary is a problem. Will Trump keep the money flowing to the 1%’s? The 1% is not backing Trump. The 1% does not want Trump in office. Hum!
So, the question becomes, where is all this printed money?No, that's not the question. We know where the money is. It gets accounted for constantly. This isn't a 1964 James Bond movie where you see a big vault full of gold bars. It's the 21st century where numbers in computers are money.
I had to look up “hominin".How ironic. Yet you are such a consummate practitioner ;-P
Remind me. How many have there been?

Or are you still cherry picking. Anyone can file a suit. Winning it is a whole 'nother story. Benghazi victims family claiming Hillary was responsible for the deaths. That's rich. And by what mechanism did Hillary cause that death? Beside if you want to wave that standard around when are we finally going to toss Cheney and Bush in solitary confinement, for their wanton crimes and untold deaths and misery plus the inescapable circle of wars they insured? >:-( Besides, it's pretty clear the Benghazi unending hoopla is a political game. What happened was unfortunate, but it's part and parcel of the whole America oblivion - that's responsible for misreading the crowds in the streets. Another Black Hawk down. There will be others. It's the political machine and the mentality that's directly responsible for those deaths. Too bad we can't take collective stupidity and arrogance to court.

I am picking on the “ideas" or “thoughts" of the subject matter. I have no problem with Write4U.I seriously doubt you looked up the definition of the term "ad hominem". I'll save you the time and show you the difference. HOMININ, definition;
NOUN 1. zoology a primate of a taxonomic tribe (Hominini), which comprises those species regarded as human, directly ancestral to humans, or very closely related to humans: "fossil footprints reveal the height of ancient hominins"AD HOMINEM, definition;
ADVERB 1.(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintainingSuch as calling someone "stupid" used in debate to cast doubt on the "ideas and thoughts" of the person. I hope this clears up your confusion about the terms.

Under Bush/Cheney, the Iraq war (which started this god forsaken domino effect) was an off-budget expenditure, which alone will cost the economy about 6 trillion dollars.
The U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest, a study released on Thursday said.http://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-war-anniversary-idUSBRE92D0PG20130314
Besides, it's pretty clear the Benghazi unending hoopla is a political game. What happened was unfortunate, but it's part and parcel of the whole America oblivion - that's responsible for misreading the crowds in the streets.This may clear up the Benghazi issue.
Official: Amb. Stevens Refused Additional Security. U.S. envoy Chris Stevens refused offers of more security before the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya in which he was killed, McClatchy Newspapers reported.http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/05/15/official-amb-stevens-refused-additional-security.html
Another Black Hawk down. There will be others. It's the political machine and the mentality that's directly responsible for those deaths.Example: Ever heard of the "Halliburton Loophole", one of Cheney's pet projects, exempting fracking from EPA regulations?
Among the many dubious provisions in the 2005 energy bill was one dubbed the Halliburton loophole, which was inserted at the behest of — you guessed it — then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a former chief executive of Halliburton.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/03/opinion/03tue3.html?_r=0 Personally, I consider that a criminal act by Cheney and congress. I wonder how many people died or became ill from this very profitable but dangerous exemption. Now there is a clear case for *wrongful* lawsuits.
Too bad we can't take collective stupidity and arrogance to court.

Senator Sanders is one of the truly honest and experienced politicians and worthy of your attention.
Subject – reason for the unequal distribution of wealth. I agree with what Burnie is saying about the 1% and how uneven the wealth is. A socialist system is not the best answer because most of the time there is no wealth in the socialist countries. The problem is not with the 1%.

Will Trump keep the money flowing to the 1%’s? The 1% is not backing Trump. The 1% does not want Trump in office. Hum!No, Trump will make the money flow into his own pockets. The 1% don't want to see Hillary either, now that the Democratic platform has adopted restrictions on size of financial institutions as recommended by Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Robert Reich.
Bernie Sanders Proposes Bill to Break Up Big Banks........Elizabeth Warren Calls On Congress To Break Up The Big Banks.....Robert Reich: Why we should break up the banksIf Hillary gets elected, I hope she will include them in her Cabinet. They are the *good guys*
Nice job of filling in some details there. Thanks W4U.
If Hillary gets elected, I hope she will include them in her Cabinet. They are the *good guys*And let me say this about that ...
This year the Presidential Elections matters more than ever. At least to us who believe in rationalism and confronting challenges with learning about and understanding the situation at hand - then working in cooperation with others to deal with it. Senator Sander’s fans would do good to understand that only if Clinton becomes the President will Sanders be able to wield the power of his supporter’s convictions as they give strength to his voice. Remember Mr. Sander’s understands the nut and bolts of government like few others. He has also shown humility and realism, he shunned the pull of demagoguery where others have fallen. He is a man of substance and constructive pragmatism, a man capable of going the long haul. He could be a force to be reckoned with. But only if his supporters now make the effort to vote for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic ticket! I’m not saying Democrats have all the answers they certainly don’t and yes, they are as trapped within the world of super-donors and lobbyists as Republicans are. But, they are the only show in town! What I am saying is that at least Democrats acknowledge the need for fact-based learning and that matters a great deal as the GOP sinks ever deeper into delusion and a worldview that’s profoundly disconnected from our down to Earth realities. I suggest this year’s Presidential election can be boiled down to one simple question: “Do you believe dogmatic faith should trump objective observation, evidence and learning?" You must realize a vote for Mr. Trump, or a no-show, is a vote for facade and threatening hostility laced bluster over thoughtful substance and constructive engagement.
Yea, it is tough being in business in the United States. Look how Trump’s life time legal actions compares to Wal-Mart with over 5,000 lawsuits every year. It is really tough trying to do business in this country. When you get a country full of lawyers, there will be a great number of lawsuits over money. Now how many lawsuits over money would you say that it takes to equal the wrongful death lawsuits against Hilary?Remind me. How many have there been? Details, please. Benghazi families sue Clinton for wrongful death, defamation. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/herald_bulldog/2016/08/benghazi_families_sue_clinton_for_wrongful_death Does this mean you will answer my question? Or are you still cherry picking. Anyone can file a suit. Winning it is a whole 'nother story. Yea, I couldn’t tell you that I have ever heard of anyone winning a lawsuit against the Rockefellers or Kennedys either. It hard to enforce laws against the ruling class.
So, the question becomes, where is all this printed money?No, that's not the question. We know where the money is. It gets accounted for constantly. This isn't a 1964 James Bond movie where you see a big vault full of gold bars. It's the 21st century where numbers in computers are money. My statement was rhetorical. OMG, of course we know where the money is. That how we know that is hasn’t done what it was supposed to do. Create tens of thousands of new businesses and hundreds of thousands of new jobs. After the elections the worker’s strikes will start up. Gas and food will also go up. And then crime will go up. The rate of bankruptcies will increase and everything that we gained in the Stimulus will be lost. The job for the next president is not going to be all roses.
I had to look up “hominin".How ironic. Yet you are such a consummate practitioner ;-P Damn it CC, another word I had to look up. :-S

I think what the motivation for the families was according to the TV news. Was that Hillary told them, the cause of the action was because of a film that was against the religious views.
