The Dem's are very, very good on the PR front. They have very successfully painted Repub's (conservatives as a whole, actually) as the purveyor's of all that is evil. Combine that with the brainwashing too many have received in their schools along more takers than makers and the handwriting is on the wall.
One cannot help but think there must be a contest, else this much stupid-crazy would not exist. This is one giant douchebag jackass reality show and there have to be "D' list celebrities speaking through hidden receivers.
Yeah basically. Strangely, my dad is a perfect example of how the pension was designed to work. He retired a few years ago, around age 62 I believe. He died at age 66. That really is how the pension was designed - most people should get very little out of it, it's like an insurance policy. Defined benefits pensions were great when people died early because they ensured that the minority who lived to 80 would live comfortably. Having average people live until 80 or 90 is what screws everything up, and the only way they become sustainable is through a pyramid scheme. Since the baby boomers are the base of the pyramid instead of the top of the pyramid, we see pensions going bankrupt. Think of it like an insurance company going bankrupt because they promised to give out trillions of dollars when pigs fly.... then pigs suddenly grew wings.
It's weird how a small minority of people thought everything would change when a black guy gets elected. Did they actually believe in the concept of The Man? Like deep down rent really is controlled by some pale skinned neckbeard who watched My Little Pony? Congress, which is still white, would allow Obama to give cash to black people or poor people or everyone even though they've never done that before?
I've watched some Detroit council meetings online, and it can really make a person scratch their head wondering if some elections are won by who can show they are the dumbest or craziest.
