Voting for anyone but Rand is turning your back on the constitution!
That's really what last night's debate was all about: CNBC, where everything is peachy, versus voters who are experiencing an economic depression.
Under fire over debate moderation, John Harwood plays victim
CNBC / NYT reporter posts sympathy ploy, retweets Rubio, Carson attacks

Rand Paul is the only one I trust. Unfortunately, he's not enough of a game show host to get the general public's attention. The goddamned Marxists have succeeded, through the welfare state, in over-running us with slackers and morons, aka The Free Shit Army.
I watched the debate last night, and although I agree with everything Rand said (all 2 minutes of it), he doesn't have the stage presence to get people excited. I don't trust Cruz, Fiorina or Christie, but they all said things last night that I really liked, and they did it in an engaging way. I personally could care less about stage presence; I want an HONORABLE STATESMAN, not a shyster carnival barker, in the White House. But I'm afraid we have become Idiocracy for real, thanks to a half-century of the welfare state subsidising the lowest common denominator, and until it goes full-blown Atlas Shrugged meltdown and the hordes of incapable idiots die off, we're pretty much solidly fist-fucked.
can't we just TLA the Free Shit army as FSA?
"I watched the debate last night, and ..."
I also watched the debate last night and I thought it was great!
I feel very relieved and happy, because they all promised to restore the country to its former self, to bring back manufacturing with good pay and benefits, eliminate poverty, take care of the senior citizens, the sick, and the homeless, bring peace and democracy to the world while simultaneously standing up to Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Syrian, Yemeni, Afghan, Somali, Pakistani, and North Korean aggression (I can't understand it ... they hate us for no reason at all! Maybe it's because of our freedom?).
The same goes for the democratic candidates.
I'm confident that they all mean what they say and they will deliver on every single one of their promises.
I went to sleep last night, knowing that any of these rational, caring, and intelligent statesmen/stateswomen can lead America back to that shining city on a hill and make the whole world a better place. I can't wait for tomorrow to get here.
In unrelated news, I also noticed that Kahlua doesn't mix well with hydrocodone.
Sorry, but the country doesn't need an idealogue/fanatic to further divide the country. What we need is a Statesman. No there aren't any running. Maybe Kasich is the closest one we have running.. It is a sad state of affairs how this country with its great Constitution got this far off track.
The ammendment that allowed this country to give up control of its money supply to a private banking cartel was ill conceived and foolish. Repealing Glass Steagall was also dumb. Citizen's United has been a desaster.. This country needs a Statesman to lead and conjole us back on track to honesty and justice. I have read and listened a lot to Rand and he is a good guy but he isn't the person to bring sanity and stability back. He is way to divisive.
double clicked and double entried so trying to undo it
If voting worked, it would be illegal.
Free healthcare? Free college education for even the functionally illiterate? Guaranteed lifetime employment? Scratch that last one- nobody wants to work, just give them the cash directly.
Actually, I think that's the answer once you boil it down. They want FREE SHIT. Period.
They don't just want free shit. They're fucking ENTITLED to free shit, and somebody better pony up the Benjamins right goddamned NOW.
The real free shit is tax cuts for the rich and tax loopholes for the companies.
The dreaded "unhappy consumer"....what shall we do? So material goods don't make you happy?
Still quite a bit of overseas outsourcing what's left and H1Bs for the rest of the jobs.
Success in destroying the middle consumption.
Only so many yachts, Manhattan apartments and other toys the 1% can buy.
Uh...I'm feeling QEasy...
We americans need more free shit and war.
And fiat. Definitely need more fiat. Fiat = comfort.
Fuck, they have an Obamaphone, ObamaSnap, ObamaCare, Obamamortgage, Obamastudent loan, Obamasubprimecarloan. Dear leader has given our debt slaves all the "free" stuff they desire. WTF moar do they need?
Dont forget the 'Head O State' 7.5 inch black dildo with balls. So we the people can practice getting fucked by the White Housenigger.
Bring back Obamacash-for-clunkers...
All this free shit is simply a pass through. In other words, the "needy" are a conduit to the haves. Ultimately, if these freebies are reigned in
it'll be detrimental to the businesses that get the funds, and money velocity will drop even more, (which I'm not saying is necessarily a bad thing,
especially if you feel a reset is in order and over due.) The middle class are the ones getting reamed, although you could say that a substantial
portion of the middle class owe their jobs to the free shit army. If and until more private funds are deployed in the form of cap. ex. or wage
increases, then the gov. teat leakage is the main liquidity to be had. And of that liquidity a portion gets rat holed either domestically, or
internationally, making priming the pump that much more difficult. Seems like a Mexican stand off. Large amounts of liquidity resting in
intrest drawing reserves at the Fed. and more trillions on overseas corporate balance sheets that "can't be brought back', and we marvel at the
lack of inflation in certain sectors. So, the middle class will be milked through rent seekers' inflation and taxation till they are a withered husk.
Paul Eberhart sure hope the fed can produce inflation soon so he can buy less with his money. pauleberhart.com
come on, Americans are in pursuit of happiness, aren't they? it's all about the thrill of the chase, not the placidity of happyness, which btw does not cause consumption or growth
market is so manipulate by NY FED and players that our 30 year bond pays 1.2% more per year than a french equivalent. hell, we pay 40 basis points more than Italy...it's lunacy and a kleptocracy.
if i were european institutional buyers (large pension funds), i would not buy one european sovereign bond and 100% US bonds. after 30 years, you get 40% more plus dollar valuation. then again, i am using braincells here and they over there only care about stealing with the aid of their central bank friends - i buy a bond today because draghi will buy it tomorrow at whatever price we can push it up to (bank1 sells to bank 2, who sells back to bank 1...)
People need a purpose and a feeling that they control their own destiny, at least to some degree.
Both of these things are being stripped from people.
Gas should be about $1.65. I remember paying $1.99 when oil was $80.
$2.30 is way too high with oil under $50. I'm not happy about that.
I've said that for a year now, the numbers just don't add up, something is fishy.
Since the end of 2014, gasoline futures are down 6% (143->135), while WTI crude is down almost 14% (53.27 -> 45.94). Yup, this is a very simplified analysis but it's an interesting data point
Be aware of the Chinese Citizen's Score, several examples of it exist already in the US, scoring the serfs into further oblivion with Killer Algorithms.

I call it Operation Perception Deception as well in the US, using technology that the average consumer does not have access too and just duping everyone right and left.

Was listening to some MBA on Bartiromo rationalizing his 7000% price increase on a pharmaceutical. He admitted 60% get the product for pennies, the rest will be billed to insurance companies for the high cost. That is what it takes to make it in our bread and circus economy these days, to say nothing of those that fall in between. When you have a totally capitated market prices will skykrocket. It's been proven again and again. I love to watch the democrats AND repubs dance around this issue on O'care. Healthcare was the last bastion of free enterprise (sort of) till Ocare took over. We're toast now.
Sure, a great fraction of Americans are deluded,
weak-minded, addicted to fairy tales, desire a slave status, among other traits of weakness.
And, you expect them to design and implement a redress for your grievances?
Sure, the prevailing system is corrupt beyond redemption; dominated by useless and criminal classes, who will die or kill (by the millions, if needed) rather than allow truth or accountability a voice.
And, you wait for them to hang or drown themselves?
Let us describe this “great fraction” and “prevailing system” with more fundamental terms: both have abandoned or detest reason – the one capacity that distinguishes man from beast; they have, literally, renounced their humanity. This is why a major verdict of history is that he who fails or refuses to use reason is little more than a wild beast.
Who, now, is more deluded… he who tries to reason with beasts… or they who have abandoned reason?
In the great scheme of civilized men, they – who have intelligence to identify wrong and justice to name it – are charged with the duty to design a correction and to carry it to completion. Or, should we wait for those who have no reason to correct our grievances?
