Well, if the Conservatives would come up with a plan other than ‘Cutting revenue is certain to raise revenue in the future!’ as a solution to the debt, that might be great. But when Bill Clinton left office with a surplus, the Republicans, including the Conservatives, were all over those nice, juicy TAX CUTS!!!
Except that they aren’t failed policies, despite the sabotage. They work. Renewables as a share of energy is rapidly increasing. We produce more oil than ever and pay less money to people like the Saudis for theirs. Sure, there’s pain. Mining works that way, no matter what it is for. People moved in, mined all the silver out of the ground, and those brilliant silver cities with their own opera houses and luxury businesses dried up and blew away. The Iron Range in northern Minnesota is a shell of it’s former capacity (like when it was producing over 50% of world production of Iron in the middle of WWII). Coal’s time has come and gone. Those communities will dry up just like any other mining town of old.
Same with pretty much any other industry. The Steel industry went tits up in the 70’s and early 80’s. The textile mills were closing long before then. Times change, industries come and go, people move on. Same as it ever was. (taps forearm in three places with two fingers on right hand)
I was hoping somebody was going to come in here and actually point out some disasters. Where are they? I’m not being snarky I’m just curious. It would really be interesting to know what the hell the Panic is about. I didn’t noticed any disasters that happened that could be attributed to him these last eight years but I’ve been known to miss or not understand things.
These threads while fun are pointless. A Clothy is an odd thing; it just says these things. It doesn’t engage in debate and doesn’t defend its delusions any more than a song called “It’s a Snowy Christmas” will change it’s lyrics because it’s mid-July and the only snow is in your freezer.
Oh, wow - I got pitted. It’s been a while, and it’s weak sauce like the rest.
Disasters in the last 8 years? Have you been living under a rock? Just to start with, do the words Benghazi and Obamacare ring a bell of any kind with you? How about the fact that it took us over 200 years to run up a debt of over 10 trillion dollars, and Obama nearly doubled that in only 8 years?
As far as Hillary’s felonies - did you not listen to, or read, the statement from the FBI Director where he pointed out that Hillary committed at least 110 felonies with her email server? Read it for yourself, highlighting mine.
But she got a walk on it because she’s the ghodess Hillary and all that. Hopefully, with the re-opening of the investigation, there’s still a chance she’ll go down in flames.
Look, I know you guys would rather close your eyes to reality and simply whine about the fact that I don’t. I don’t care. Pit me all you want, it won’t change the fact that Hillary is a felon and Obama is a fuckup.
