World War One just wasn't fair. We got the Russians out and the Allied on their balls and than the US stepped in...<<

its especially ironic when you consider we ran screaming to the fray because you threatened to give the Southwest back to Mexico

proved by asking them what they need to get the job done.  They gibber.  They hadn't bothered to calculate.
Now by contrast, when von Seeckt told the Kaiser that American manpower was going to swamp the Reich in 1919, he figured out how much he was short.  Because he wasn't a crybaby bitch telling a lie.

do they have any oil?

I've decided on a new tactic.

THEY:  So you want child labor, huh?

ME:  Sure.

       No, not really.  But you were gonna BS anything I said, and when I said "No" you had a set speech about how I was a liar or a dupe and really wanted it.
       So I said yes, to make you stutter, and show people what you REALLY look like when you're mad. 
       From now on, when you don't act like that, we know you're faking.

Except the revenues earned in the 1980s went up too, and they went up in the 2000s.  Outside of recession periods the govt earns more money. 
And in Clinton years he worked with Newt to force a structural change in spending.
Since the 1970s and double-digit inflation, Democrats demanded we increase social spending at 2x the rate of inflation to make sure people weren't pinched by inflation.
we beat inflation in the 1980s.
In the 1990s they limited it to inflation.  But still, they refuse to figure social spending as per capita.  That's the next reform to shove through -to end baseline budgeting, to allow the Congress to spend less in 2015 than they did in 2014 instead of saying "we have to spend 2014 levels + inflation"

Also Clinton got the benefit of line item veto.  Republicans allowed Clinton to veto specific programs instead of the whole budget.  Democrats sued and the Supreme Court said the President has to veto the whole budget or not at all.

It was then that I saw the point of  all Life was Hate; and that all the divergence of topics: politics, sports, hairstyles, art, was united in Hate into the one great Topic; and that those who merged all topics into Hate, were on-topic; and those that rebuked them for preferring the natural Order to logic and reason, were trolls.  The earth reeled, and the sky above it opened, and it was not to me a vault, but a chasm, through which I fell with all other things forever.  I fell upon the grass, and slept awhile; and awoke, not a man, but a troll.  And I was content.

>>On the flip side, one issue I have always had with the pot debate, is how the same people that speak out against all the reasons pot should stay illegal will go nutso if you suggest that alcohol and tobacco should both be illegal.<<

Go ahead with tobacco, but you can make booze in a bathtub and get it halfass decent within weeks.  You can't ban water and fruit and yeast and stoves and copper pipes

Kemp I've been INSTRUCTED that the human race will buy American bonds forever, because there's nowhere else to put their money.  Forever.  The entire human race is too stupid to stop bailing us out.  I can accept that as fact, or I can keep on spinning Tea Party fantasies of American decline.  No loyal American wants to believe it will happen, anyhow; if I'm a good American I'll think properly about it.

Simon wins by bringing pot to a pot debate
