The point of the Constitution is to prevent just this. The framers were not stupid. Slow government is one that is insulated from knee jerk reactions and rapid changes. The slow nature of the government is a primary reason why the US is where it is today, and why we have what could be...
"Don't you think that a working person should be paid a livable wage? I am not saying everyone should be paid enough to buy a mansion on the hill, but they should be able to afford a decent place to live. I am not saying everyone should be able to afford a Mercedes, but they should be able to...
I have always thought that this would be a great idea.
In addition to this, I think that offering non-violent criminal offenders the option of the military or jail (say to replace less than 2 year terms with a 4 year committment) would also work. This way they could gain relevant skills...
Guess I'll keep my duplex. With all of the people needing to rent, I will be able to raise rents through the roof. Might actually make it worth the pain of keeping it.

Does this guy have any clue how much pension money is tied up on 'evil' Wall Street. Add to that the 401K investments made by millions of middle class workers or lines of credit for small business owners.
What a stupid mother fucker. He doesn't want to destroy Wall Street to redistribute...
Afghanistan - hopeless mess. We need to listen to Karzai less and kick more ass.
Iraq - I actually think they will be fine. They have a long stable civil history that should be OK. Worst case, they break up into more realistic ethnic regions.
Libya - waste of time and a side show. Bad...
Just found out today that my small business rates are going to 32% next year. Fucking awesome.
I am thinking of applying for a waiver, but then again I don't "know" someone.
I don't know about this. We are essentially back to the old Clinton method of fighting wars from a distance, they work in some cases. But we are dealing with someone that is almost guaranteed to back into a corner and fight to the last man. I would consider him to be more set on this than...
