2 - $27,000!

Yeah, democrats are truly the Party of Poor.

more regulation only seems to be drafted and constructed in the interest of those who are already ****ing us over.

more laws only seem to benefit those who have the money and lobby the hardest.

all resulting in less choices and more power/authority for either some GSE monopoly or the government directly.

If more gubmt will automatically fix our corrupted gubmt then I am living in the twilight zone.

I want more choices. More competition. Less centralization of those who I know are ****ing us all over.

That is the complete opposite of direction and intentions I am seeing right now. 40k+ new laws a year being cranked out.....but liberals accuse the nation of being too neoliberal and too much privatization.

they never admit the fact, or even acknowledge the fact, that our government is bought and sold by the very interests they believe they have so many grievances with.

yeah i just meant I don't want to spiral into something where both of us are just recognizing and then moving around each others' points over and over.

because i just don't have the energy and i'm not even too political.

to me what i see is the government often just seems really ineffective at it's goals. that's a problem. but just because it's a problem doesn't mean private is automatically the solution. which is what i think some people jump to.

This.

Bonus: Most lobbyists I know on K Street are lawyers or someone politically connected, such as staffers, or ex-politicians themselves. Very lucrative.

One should be able to extrapolate that the laws passed by Congress have been written by lobbyists.

We are supposed to be a representative Republic

yet all of our politicians are lawyers

all of their family become lobbyists....

and all our politicians can do is create and generate more laws, beholden to lobbyists, after being bribed by lobbyists, that benefit them and theirs above everyone else around them

if this is success i would hate to see what qualifies as failure

I'll cut to the quick: you seem reasonable and not perpetrating yourself as a fraud, unlike others around here.

Gvt inefficiency is because they cant lose their jobs. Ask a federal worker what it takes to fire them.

Some things the gvt is supposed to do and the few things that they do, they should be great at. With the expansion of gvt into areas where it doesnt need to be, that's where the private sector comes in.

Is that unreasonable to you? Imo, we do need to have a limited gvt in order for our society to flourish and more importantly, function.

This is why we need a purge of the system, a reset with laws to prevent it from happening again. It's a corrupt cesspool who's time has come.

Jefferson was very clear: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Captain Tele 05-15-2016 16:40

except how are we supposed to reset and millions of worthless gubmt employees keep their jobs, trillions in defense contracts, trillions in welfare and social safety handouts.....YEARLY

prop up both SS and Medicaid for endless boomers

and not hammer hit the stock market (401k's)

these insidious criminals knew they couldn't hold a bag of garbage ransom over us. so they happily got their fat fingers into every other aspect of our life instead. everything from kids going to school, our ability to drive on roads, to even our medical care now.

and the list just keeps on growing. the more it goes to **** the more the masses want them to take up more responsibility. rinse and repeat

there will be no gradual reset. we will slowly become the next Venezuela when it does happen.

at that point cash transactions will long be banned

Larry Summers Launches The War On Paper Money: "It's Time To Kill The $100 Bill"

and NIRP will be the new American dream

What you need to know about Obama's 'myRA' retirement accounts

and your families ability to live.....not thrive will be tethered to the same threatened system

with no other way in or out

they know what they are trying to do. sadly most of our statists don't.

or if they do are as sick and demented as these self serving megalomaniacs

it's not unreasonable. it's just the same people who might champion those attitudes are also the people who for example want abortion to be illegal. or gay marriage. so they want government involved when it comes to moral issues that concern them.

so in the end they all suck. the people who might have good ideas are overshadowed by parties which fight to make each other into caricatures so the whole thing is simplified for us citizens.

Pretty sure libertarians don't advocate nuclear testing, never used nuclear weapons on civilian populations, never used chemical weapons in battle, don't currently still use depleted Uranium weapons in the Middle East where where they have been tied to worse birth defect and cancer rates than were seen in the Japanese cities that were nuked.

Only the state does, when the right wheels are greased. Sure, the state talks a big game about how they need to enact regulations to conserve the environment, but there is a little rhyme, reason or factual basis to support their endeavors(ex - desert tortoise/BLM). In fact most of these regulations end up being clearly tied to special interests and even at that the state is allowed to pick and choose who can bypass the regulations and who can't.

No it isn't, for the same reason I can call myself a libertarian, you can call yourself a libertarian and even someone like Glenn Beck can. I would consider it to be just as deceitful for you or Beck to call yourselves libertarian when you have clearly conflicting philosophies when it comes to individual liberty. I'm still having a difficult time wrapping my head around your support of the Libertarian Party, when they are against state intervention in pretty much every category that you endorse or think it is necessary(health care, education, regulation of industry, self-defense, etc).

And if there isnt a department of education all doctors and scientist will be bible thumping fanatics that will kill one patient after the other because of their preoccupation with serving God?

You really sound like a libertarian.

That doesn't work so easily when using larger numbers (more than single digits), and it's there that finding the sum of differences (the basis for "common core" addition) is best. I've been doing the "common core" method in my head since elementary school, long before anyone was teaching it.

I'm not at all surprised that parents who probably sucked at math in school are up in arms about it.



I've been teaching in public schools for a while now, and of the 4 that I've been at not a single teacher likes common core. That pool includes mostly democrats, and grades 6-12. The standards and the way they are written are, frankly, stupid. There's not a single thing there that looks like it's working any better than what we were already doing. In most cases, there's been a slight (albeit statistically insignificant) decline.

There is an enormous gap between educational theory and educational practice, and an even bigger gap between the people who write these systems out and the ones who teach them.

So, as someone who works daily with the future of America and within the stringent confines of the federally scripted education system so these kids can look good on a data table via the grades they get on a meaningless, mandated, high-stakes, standardized test: the government needs to **** off out of the educational system.

From the outside looking in, you wont hear a whole lot of complaining about common core because the main victims of the program are little kids who don't know any other way. The adults who teach it largely recognize it for what it is: a massive failure. But their jobs and thus their livelihoods depend on teaching it so they really have no choice.

Try to run down health care costs by heading off health problems before they occur. Big issue is the american way of 'instant' in a pill cure for everything. Exercise, eat well, and keep up an active circle of relationships to stay physically n mentally healthy.

Run away health care costs is because of big pharma trying to beat the placebo effect. Drug commercials is an entirely american phenomenon to try to convince people they have a real medical condition. Shouldnt it be the doctor choosing the most appropriate medication??

Naa.

Fire all the doctors, jail the med school administration. Their medieval reliance on human memory is nothing more than maintaining/hoarding IP to pad the wages. Introduce computer based diagnostic tools, watch diagnostic errors approach near zero. Watch doctor's wages halved.

Because I recognize that there are industries where consumers don't have the power to regulate, and the lack of regulations can have disastrous consequences. I know that profits are placed before the interest of the consumer, and have no place in markets where the consumer can't "opt out" (healthcare, education, the justice system).

I'm not against guns, and I believe every non-felon should have the right to concealed carry without a permit. I don't think it's unreasonable to require the same registration of sales or reporting of transfers for a firearm that we have for a car or a home, or that such measures are in conflict with the 2nd Amendment.

I'm for Net Neutrality, and I support Tesla, Uber, and Lyft in their fight for a more "free market" in their industries.

I also don't give a **** if someone wants to drink raw milk.

A registration system serves literally no purpose in terms of crime prevention. Gun sales are already well documented by sellers. Cars and homes aren't constitutionally protected rights, but besides that what you're proposing in terms of tracking firearms is useless anyway. Also, you don't need to register vehicles, or their sales. That's only important if you're going to use them on public roads. When was the last time you saw anyone transfer a title for a quad/fourwheeler or tractor? I'm diverging a little bit, but i'd love to hear what problems you think any sort of tracking or registration will solve

or just outright handed them

I'm sure by now that you have figured out that dealyderp is a hardcore statist and an enviro-nazi. He most likely would enjoy seeing anyone who disagrees with him either jailed or killed.

His purpose of trollin is to misrepresent positions that don't agree with him and attempt to pass them off as if he is an authority. Example: above. I have never met anyone who willingly wants to destroy our natural resources (dirty rivers, polluted lakes, etc.) and not use sound conservation policy to pass them along to following generations. But hey, if the State does it, well let's look the other way and ignore it.

But that doesnt get in the way of his and many others 'progressive's' agenda to demonize anyone who doesnt have their regressive view (back to the stone age). It's all about "climate change". And if you're a Non-Believer, you should be put to death or in jail.

pumping himself full of bacon, while demanding free health care to roto-rooter his arteries

pumping the environment full of carcinogens as he burns down trees to flavor his meat

Teslas range between 35-100k (approx)

But it has to start somewhere. When actual internal combustion engine cars first came out...not everyone could buy those. Then as bugs got worked out more people decided to try a hand in making them, the prices came down.
Growing pains. Concepts like electric cars are turning points in societies if they are allow to grow.

you should see how expensive my first batch of kitten mittens were

after several billion in tax dollars subsidies

hey if new car types like electric are held to the same standards as oil and gas, we can expect to end their subsidy of bringing new tech to bear in....100 years?

not sure why you'd be mad at government subsidizing green energy while it is in it's formative years
arguably thats what the government SHOULD do
then ending that practice a couple decades later when **** is fine. (thats the part we're bad at)

also, Elon made his technology public. Can't really call him a profit monger

like how we still pay oil subsidies and alternative energy subsidies at the exact same time. saying we have to pay for one while STILL giving direct advantage to another

if someone......

bingo....there is the key word

that someone in this case is tax payers. taxes are not optional. when these entrepreneurial endeavors fail tax payers foot the bill. when they succeed tax payers get jack **** as a return on their investment.

playing venture capitalist with others money is a lot of fun

as is gambling i bet....might as well fund casinos too while we are at it.

By 1785, Fitch was done with surveying and settled in Warminster, Pennsylvania, where he began working on his ideas for a steam-powered boat. Unable to raise funds from the Continental Congress, he persuaded various state legislatures to award him a 14-year monopoly for steamboat traffic on their inland waterways. With these monopolies, he was able to secure funding from businessmen and professional citizens in Philadelphia.

Back in the day people had to find fundraisers for their invention

People had to put their own dime .... time....on the line

But then gubmt realized they could get much fatter deciding the action

So now that is too archaic of a principle today. Much more fun with others money.

Then we can raise taxes if we can't make the idea work.

How this fundamental concept escapes you or doesn't frustrate you shows the type of person I am responding to.

Oh well if YOU'VE never met anyone who would do it, they must not exist. :lol:

Corporations have been dumping as much as they can in our water for as long as they can get away with it. But because -SS- doesn't know about it, its OK, because ignorance is bliss and libertarianism is love.

In fact most of these regulations end up being clearly tied to special interests and even at that the state is allowed to pick and choose who can bypass the regulations and who can't.

The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters. The basis of the CWA was enacted in 1948 and was called the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, but the Act was significantly reorganized and expanded in 1972. "Clean Water Act" became the Act's common name with amendments in 1972.
Under the CWA, EPA has implemented pollution control programs such as setting wastewater standards for industry. We have also set water quality standards for all contaminants in surface waters.
The CWA made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained. EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls discharges. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal system, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do not need an NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters.

Little rhyme, reason (except federal regulations under the CWA) or facts (except that the rivers were on fire).

Nooo corporations would NEVER pollute our water, that never happened before requiring regulation to actively monitor their routine pollution, history is a lie and pollution is just free chemicals.
