Make Them!

I am not privvy to what the government knows. I just wondered how you know for sure all the warnings were fake. Do you have any proof of your claim?

One way to know is if the government raised an alert and then told the country later that they captured the terrorist or dismantled the operation that the alert was about.

Yea, yea, yea....were the fuck were you guys during the Bush years when he ran up our debt more then any US President in our history? Yea boy....you sure were out there raising hell about all that spending, weren't you? [/sarcasm]

It's not exremism from the right that's being pointed out, other then their "We're going to take our ball and go home if we don't get our way" tantrums they've been throwing. No, what's disgusting most of the public is their fucking complete hypocrisy.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't it Dick Cheney who said "Deficits don't matter.". So why the fuck do they matter now? Huh?

Spare me the false outrage.

Well a lot of the tea party folk weren't in office during the Bush years so are they not suppose to complain about spending? And what happened to the Democrats and liberals that rightly complained about Bush's overspending? They're awfully quiet now. So they only dislike spending when it is the opposite party doing it? Yet people like Ron Paul and Libertarians who consistently spoke out against spending across all administrations are deemed kooks. In case people haven't noticed our spending has reached a point where it cannot be sustained. That's not a partisan position that is a fact. So feel free to keep your head in the sand and claim false outrage while at least some people are acknowledging the problem and attempting to act on it.

there are uneducated idiots in every mob, just look at the liberals. I tend to group the ones that make broad generalizations of actions intended to label an entire group as uneducated idiots.

Sorry about the generalisation. Unfortunately I do not know the name of every right wing lunatic in the US otherwise I might have been tempted to be more specific.

Thanks for the laugh 3D. What are you then, Martian? LOL.

And the thousands of Americans running your banks and insurance companies, building your export trade, teaching in American schools. They must be gobsmacked to discover you have decreed them not to be American!!!

Modest inflation could help in eroding the deficits, it's not without risk however. This article explains it in greater detail.

I understand the concept. And even if I did not, having it explained does not make it any less stupid.

A sluggish, perhaps soon to be contracting economy with high levels of unemployment, people living below poverty level, mortgage default again on the rise, (in short - a general problem with a large portion of the population making ends meet on a daily basis) and you think we should deliberately induce inflation to make things WORSE for them, all in order to magically "shrink" the deficit by making it smaller in relation to the GDP? (Does nothing to actually pay it down, just makes it look smaller, like looking at it through a backwards telescope.)

Stupid does not even begin to describe the idea.

Not a fan then? Inflation can be a good thing just so long as you don't get into an inflationary spiral. If you think modest inflation is so bad I can assure you that deflation is much worse. I could ask if you are so clever why are you not running the Fed?

Or watching a 'scientist' support the lunacy of those 'scientists' who try to crush any dissent or objective reviews of their work. Not to mention a 'scientist' who supports other 'scientists' destruction of data.

bottom line: I was correct to question the 'consensus' as the CERN report shows. You on the other hand are now shown once again to be the fool you are. Next time, try following the scientific method when supporting a theory rather than stomping your feet and shouting 'consensus'.
