Hard to compare Japan to USA.... In Japan there are no homeless everyone is insured, streets you can eat off, free education and so forth so having no job or a temp job is not much of an issue compared to here, where without employment and insurance you are kinda fucked. Sustenance only usually in not so nice place...Full employment needs to be goal w/o decent social welfare system.

Everyone is insured? In Japan, they will make you exhaust your resources before they give you one ounce of free health insurance. They will shame you to death in the middle of town square before they help you. They will wait 7 weeks for you to starve just to see if you really need the help.

Prove that lowering taxes on the rich helps the economy. At all.

Doesn't do shit. Demand flows from bottom up. Anyone that doubts that please put together a business plan on anything but building Yachts and you'll prove it to yourself.

Put people to work by building more mosques?


Wow it only took micro brain here 1 post to bring religion into an Obama troll thread. Obama can't undo all of the Republican damage in 2 years. This sort of work will take decades, well passed Obama's presidency. The initiatives he sets in motions could have long term effects depending on what he chooses to do. Americans are such impatient fucks, it's always a "give it to me now" attitude. The Republicans encouraged corporations to outsource for years, Bush was a huge advocate of this and now your jobs are gone, why don't you guys go lick some more Republican balls?

Why would I want new public jobs? You try and miscontrue my positions and its starting to be just silly. I want them to keep their jobs.

Let me give you a local example, my local county is having to lay off 1 detective, 2 patrol officers, and a 911 operator due to budget cuts from property taxes falling. Crime is already on the rise in the area, and losing these officers is shitty.

Summer of Recovery

What county are you in, around Chicagoland, that the loss of 1 detective and 2 patrol officers and a 911 operator would make ANY difference at all?

I call BS.

You help small business by cutting taxes and lowering government borrowing and spending. Not by borrowing trillions of dollars that people in their 20s will eventually have to pay off.

Just when I thought you might be making sense, you embrace the usual contradictions of the Right like they were your best squeeze ever...

Much of small business today exists partially by supplying the govt with what the govt spends money to get... so let's cut govt spending to decrease their volume, OK? Let's cut it more so that the govt will lay off employees, reducing demand further. And let's cut taxes on the money they're not making, just to compensate, right?

Righties have created this shibboleth of "small business" as a deflection from the policies of big business. Much of small business exists as a product of outsourcing by large firms. They used to make widgets in-house, but found out it was cheaper to lay off workers, outsource to smaller firms who don't pay as well and offer no benefits, and who often disappear under mountains of unpaid bills to their suppliers... Creative bankruptcies abound, but the big company's profits improved, executive bonuses went up, so it's all hunky-dory, right?

And, of course, just as soon as big business figures out how to offshore rather than outsource small business production, well, we all know the rest, right? Buh-bye now...

It works both ways. Remember that luxury yacht tax that killed an industry and caused significant jobs losses?

We need to rebuild a far more productive society and encourage a return to traditional moral values.

Hee-hee!

Floundering in their own futility, righties are once again reduced to spouting inane and inaccurate slogans.

Bailouts, IGBT? Dubya did the bailouts- necessarily so, because if it wasn't for that, we'd have needed to nationalize the bastards... and then righties would have been truly pitiful...

Don't let facts interfere with the formulation of your opinion...

Are you bookmarking all the posts that predict otherwise? I'm sure their kind is bookmarking your predictions. Should be fun no matter who is right!

What's with you and pussy-ass bets, lol. $50 isn't putting your money where your mouth is, it's a mealy-mouthed bet from a guy desperately trying to be tough, but instead just looking e-tough. But I like how your confidence has waned from $1000 to $50, lol.

You are a fucking moron.

I bet $50, you said make it 250

I made it 250, you said make it 1k

You then said you would do $500. I offered to do $500 and then you said it had to be 5k


When I said I couldn't do 5k you ran a victory lap calling me a pussy. Anyone who read that thread thought you were a damn fool.

It's funny seeing you try to rewrite history, but the thread is there for everyone to see how full of shit you are. Nowhere do I offer to make bets that small, I simply called you out for your mealy-mouthed bets. I offered and guaranteed I'd do a 5K bet and offered you another bet on other races (Florida), and you predictably bitched out of both. Now you're so "confident" on the Nevada race you've gone from $1000 to $50 and you've even linked the thread showing the evidence of this reality. You'd be more funny if you weren't so sad and transparent.

Freaking kiddies these days.

Its funny how you lie. What I said is exactly what happened. Here, have a look for yourself:


I offered $50, you said make it $250

First.JPG



I agreed to $250

First2.JPG



You said $250 was too low, it had to be $1000

First3.JPG



I said $1000 was fine

First4.JPG



You said lets make it $500 instead

First5.JPG



To which I agreed

First6.JPG



Then you said it had to be $5000

First7.JPG


Then when I wouldn't bet $5000 you ran around like a 3 year old claiming victory and that I was a pussy.
