They're not old enough or social enough to know that it goes on regularly and rather openly, Theodora.

Revolutions never involve fighting national armies, Justinian I. Governments have ALWAYS had FAR more effective violence at their disposal when dealing with revolutions. It's when they lose favor with popular opinion and lose the concensus of the people that their armed forces will not kill their countrymen.

This is IC. Leave your brain at the door.

She kept him from having to buy sex by giving him sex. His mother has sex with him. Clear enough? Jesus.

I Got Your Number. I Got Alllll Your Numbers.

We're glad we could give you space to cry about the world and the USA in a thread not concerned with anything you posted. Come again.

>>ow people are whining here about their tax money "wasted" for the benefit of their nation and the world economy. as all nations the US have to do their part to stop the depression. the old methods of low taxes ruined the budgets of many US states ...<<

Your ignorance of economics is also amazingly well developed. But alas, irrelevant here!

Ate the secret of the universe on a taco earlier today.

The spec ops part is really getting me down. Yes, I'm that asshole. And attacking, but I'll only have to wait a few ticks. GET THOSE EXPOS OUT I WANT TARGET OPTIONS!

>>A young girl asking the government for help is ridiculous? I know! Lets ban everyone writing to Congress / Whitehouse / government unless they are writing about something that fits within a specific set of guidelines ... The fact that more than one person has attacked the way a young girl goes looking for help has made me realise that there is little point in posting on the IC forum. I doubt I will again.<<

I merely questioned whether this was a good thing for President Obama to bring up. It only matters so far as the wisdom/intelligence behind Obama's reference. You haven't responded to the point, just whined. Good riddance. Maybe you'll get over yourself elsewhere.

>>No. He aims to cut it in half from the level it is at now.<<

You mean, after he spends a few times that each year in between? So 1/2 of year 1 (pre trillions "stimulus extra) after that much or more for 3 years... Yes. That's going to be so fiscally responsible!

>>You seem to think those changes to transparency rules he bought in so soon after winning the Presidency are just for pretend. ... Maybe we can dredge this up in a few months or in a year or so.<<

He's ALREADY gone back on them. What part of "passed trillion dollar legislation WITHOUT GIVING LEGISLATURE TIME TO EVEN READ IT" is lost on you here? That's a trillion dollars. $1,000,000,000,000. You don't think this sum is worth reading what it will be spent on before voting? He doesn't. We don't need to wait to judge this sort of behavior as irresponsible. We don't need to wait to see this and realize he lied about transparency.

>>wow the [banana munching pig gurgling] arrogance in this sentence right here. When you live in a country where education is guaranteed dont you think the government has an obligation to fulfill that and make it acceptable to go to school?<<

Where do you get off just making things up? You need to know the limits of your knowledge. Something in your head should tell you "hey I have no idea what I'm talking about" before you make things up and post them.

>>Do you believe that there can be an economy when lending freezes?<<

Lending never froze. Stop listening to the rhetoric. Are you in the business world? The system was strained, but it was still functioning. All of this "we must take BOLD action now!" rhetoric is useless. We need the right action, not actions that will only strain the system more while adding tremendous amounts to our debt.

>> Think about that the next time you want to buy something with a credit card or you want to buy a new car. If you don't get the loan, you won't buy and in the end the company will go out of business.<<

If I didn't get my last car loan, I would have made a little less money on an investment (I was making more on interest in my investment than the loan's interest would cost me, so I took the loan and payed it off in a few months). I would still have the car. What if everyone spent less on credit? We wouldn't have this "crisis" we're talking about now! How horrible would that be? It'd be nice not to have to pay for idiots.

>> And give him some time to cut spending... <<

Let's be honest; after spending trillions, cutting a few billions means nothing. He's NOT cutting spending. He'll cut some programs and some budgets, but he is NOT cutting spending. Complete nonsense. He's increasing government size, spending, and control.

>> We are faced with a huge recession and you want him to work miracles.<<

We are not faced with a "huge" recession. The numbers are exaggerated because he and his staff know this generation is a bunch of pussies who always figure no one could have had it worse, even when unemployment has been MUCH higher than present in the past, even when inflation has been MUCH higher than presesnt in the past. I can't believe how much baseless rhetoric gets repeated in here. I'm not getting any more content than Obama gave us earlier. None.

>>Give him atleast a year before you get full details. ... You can accuse him of lying after a year.<<

He said he would bring transparency. He said he would always give lawmakers what, 48 hours to read his legislation? Now he's spent more than a trillion without giving legislators who passed his bill time to even read it. That was transparency? That wasn't lying?

>>Attacking her says a lot about you. It reeks of desperation.<<

I've never consulted anyone 1500 miles away concerning roof repairs. Have you? Just seems a little ridiculous to me. Maybe she should have written a letter to her local, county, or state legislature? They're surely much more aware of the economic suicide her area must have committed, or the corruption that results in not even having a functioning roof. In any case, it seems a little ridiculous to need Washington's support to fix a roof. If that's the best example a president has, he hasn't got any good examples.

Obama is going to half the annual deficit after 4 years. The first 3 years he will spend increasing the annual deficit [he's gotten a great start REAL fast!] so drastically that cutting it in half after 4 years seems like a cut. I don't want to talk about the politics of this not being fiscally responsible in this thread. I want to talk about how he's misleading idiots by saying he's going to cut the deficit in half... AFTER HE INCREASES IT YEARLY FOR 3 YEARS. He doesn't say that second part which is necessary to make the statement coherent. He is lying to you.

>>So he's got a plan it seems. You dont know that whole plan and so all of a sudden he's a liar. Awesome.<<

We've pointed out lies he has made. They make him a liar. Nobody cares what plan "it seems" he has to you. He's not into transparency. Details aren't going to come. Some of them might come a few hours before a vote on a trillion dollar bill. Should we wait until we don't even have time to read a bill, let alone debate it, to debate it? (AGAIN?)

Amen concerning Congressmen, SungodRA. Unfortunately, even the state level is already mired by the same sorts of nonsense that mire the federal government. Options tend to be limited and the choices are few.
