Phew, good thing all those African slaves in America were freed once they converted to Christianity. I guess the Civil War wasn't about slavery after all! Those poor ol' slaveowners were just trying to bring their slaves to Christ, and let them all go once they got saved. We fought a whole war for nothing. :(

The course mandates that seventh-graders learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own jihad. Adding to this apparent hypocrisy, reports ANS, students must memorize many verses in the Koran, are taught to pray "in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" and are instructed to chant, "Praise to Allah, Lord of Creation."

"We could never teach Christianity like this," one outraged parent told ANS.
Not "would never" but "could never." That's an important distinction.

Christianity is barely monotheistic. More out of habit than any rigorous interpretation.

I have noticed AP and some other news sources translating "Allah" as "God" which is a good trend and I hope it continues.

It's not a quirk in the law that 2010 has no estate tax, it was the intention of the law to repeal it.

That it's going to be re-implemented in 2011 is due to the tax cut bill being passed as a budget reconciliation item, which means it can't impact deficits more than 10 years out. So, they had to include a sunset provision. The intention of the GOP was to follow up the tax cut bill in later years with a second provision that made the rates for 2010 permanent. However, they never did it while they were in power, and then they lost power and found themselves unable to make those rates permanent.

It was the intention of the GOP to have the estate tax removed permanently after 2010, they just never got to the second bill that would have eliminated it permanently.

Religion is imperative to understand history, but it's also pretty drat important to understand culture today. I think it's rather stupid that many high schools don't cover religion as much as they should. Instead, we get a bunch of people graduating who only know their own world view (which is likely slanted toward Christianity).

I don't really know where else to post this, I just want a little help with this. I'm having a debate with a big Paul Ryan supporter, and I'm frankly not well educated enough in this area to make an intelligent response to this. Does anyone know anything about these facts/are they true/what makes them not true/whatever? I'm having trouble writing a response to this

quote:

But fundamentally, why do you think we should tax the wealthy more? Is it an issue of revenues? Or an issue of justice? From a revenue standpoint, you can't soak enough away from the rich to pay for our unfunded liabilities. I'm not even talking about the effect on job creation, simply that you cannot raise $75 trillion by just hammering away at the wealthy. We have data on this if you want but I hope you agree that's a fair point.

Now, if it's an issue of justice, I don't feel like that's a debate I want to have.
Econosaurus, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but your facts are wrong. 1/3 of the stimulus was NOT tax cuts. We do not consider REFUNDABLE tax credits tax cuts - these are simply spending via checks handed out. We would never defend that part of ARRA. And we would consider tax credits that are not refundable to also be "spending" through the tax code, not rate reductions. There were no real rate reductions in the stimulus.

As far as "dropping" the Bush tax cuts, it may have given us some slack with deficits (although not as much as you'd expect if you use a dynamic score, which means figuring in the second, third, and so on, order impacts of what tax increases do to capital formation and job creation), but the way budgeting works is that these are already assumed to expire as part of the baseline. It's called the "current law" approach. And under the baseline, debt will reach 90% of GDP by 2020 - this ASSUMES the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthy, again. I don't have to tell you that the reason why debt will skyrocket is because of Medicare and Social Security (we'll have 80 million baby boomers retiring), and to some extent Medicaid because of rising health care costs. We're up the creek without a paddle here, unless of course we adopt Paul Ryan's Roadmap for America. You've heard how politicians love to defend these benefit systems for their constituents - after all, who wants to "privatize" social security or "voucherize" Medicare for seniors? - but the fact is that these programs are walking their way right into extinction on their current path, and you cannot tax the wealthy enough to pay for them. Even worse, they will cause shocks in the debt markets way before the day of reckoning, leading to higher interest rates, private sector crowding out, lower growth, etc, if we do nothing.

One other thing we should get straight about the the Bush tax cuts. It's a misnomer to think that most of these were directed at the wealthy. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation says that 31.1% of taxes paid from 2001-06 (latest data available) come from taxpayers making over $200,000. If you look at just the individual rate cuts, it's closer to 23%. There were plenty of other components to the Bush tax cuts - income tax cuts for those under $200K, child credits, marriage penalty breaks, education breaks, pensions, AMT, etc. And I know the Bush tax cuts have become the poster children for how much Republicans love to support the wealthy, but in all fairness, when they were passed we had a $3.38 trillion 10-year budget surplus projected. I may have done things a little differently given the impending entitlement crisis - I don't defend all of Bush's policies and think he was not a true fiscal conservative - but it's important to understand the argument from all sides.

Based on data from 2007, the total household income of households earning more than $100,000 (i.e., the top quintile) was $3,946,295,705,000, roughly 4 trillion dollars. Given a 2010 budget deficit of roughly 1.5 trillion, you could, theoretically, balance the budgets by raising effective tax rates on such households by roughly 37.5%, though obviously this would represent a substantial increase. Total corporate profits stand at $1.4 trillion, and could be used to take some of the weight off - actual changes in tax rates may not be necessary, given how many corporations simply do not pay taxes at the present time.

I don't know what the $75 trillion figure represents, or why it's relevant. Presumably, we are trying to balance budgets, not raise a particular lump sum.

Additionally, her analysis seems to be suggesting that if a given level of taxation on the rich does not balance the budget, then it cannot be justified on the basis of providing government revenue, which seems faintly absurd to me. More taxes bring us closer to a balanced budget, even if it does not actually bring us entirely there.

I'm not sure if it will help, but it might get you part of the way on pointing out some of the bullshit. Also, I think the 75 trillion number is from total debt of the U.S. This number is completely retarded as it includes personal debt, corporate debt, and all sorts of b.s. that has nothing to do with the national debt. The national debt is $13,192,234,850,314.21 as per the treasury website:

Some sort of alteration to social security may in fact be necessary - people are living much longer now than they were when it was first put into place. However, privatization is a non-answer - the entire purpose of social security is to provide a guaranteed support for the old age, while investment is always a gamble. If social security is turned, in whole or in part, into 'investment accounts,' then economic crises (such as the one we have right now!) are redoubled; the older population suddenly doesn't have enough to get by.

If in such cases the government picks up the slack, then we are throwing an additional financial burden upon it precisely when money is tightest, and after removing the monetary inflow which would have funded it. If it doesn't pick up the slack, then we have senior citizens starving in their homes, precisely what social security was meant to prevent. Talking about the market getting a better average rate of return is whitewashing; the system is there to prevent individuals from falling through the cracks, and the market always has winners and losers.

Medicare's biggest problem, as I understand it, is that medical costs in general are still skyrocketing. If the government can't afford health care, that's because nobody can afford health care, save perhaps for the rich. We need a system to get medical costs under control, which is why it's a pity the recent health care bill was so tepid.

The most obvious logical flaw is just this line: "We're up the creek without a paddle here, unless of course we adopt Paul Ryan's Roadmap for America."

It's a ludicrous dichotomy. We need to address our budget deficits, but anything which better matches revenues to spending does so - we don't have to turn the country into a neofeudal state.

But the tone of it makes me think it's actually making fun of creationists, but I'm not sure.

Also he told my group of friends and I about the Canopy Theory. "What's the canopy theory, cfh?" you may ask:

The canopy theory seeks to explain the reference in Genesis 1:6 to “the waters above the firmament,” assuming that “firmament,” or “expanse,” as the Hebrew word is alternatively translated, refers to our atmosphere. According to the canopy theory, there was a canopy of water above the atmosphere until the cataclysm of Noah’s day, at which point it disappeared either by collapsing upon the earth or by dissipation into space. It is presumed to have consisted of water vapor because a canopy of ice could not have survived the constant bombardment of celestial objects like meteoroids which perpetually barrage the earth’s atmosphere.

This is also the reason people lived to be 999 years old. Somehow.

Probably a repeat, but I just got this one today :

A DC airport ticket agency offers some examples of 'why' our country is
in trouble!


1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an
aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the
window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard
Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length
of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me
with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in
Massachusetts .''

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod
is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa ''

His response -- click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a
Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in
Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain
that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the
state.

He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very
thin state!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it
possible to see England from Canada?''

I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member(Janet Napolitano) once called and asked
if he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and
noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he
wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and
we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She
needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at
8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but
she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her
the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines
put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage
belongs to whom?''

I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag
on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very
rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it, (I was
dying laughing), I came back and explained the city code for Fresno,
CA. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a
destination tag on his luggage.

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a
trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked,
''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to
Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright
(D) from Alabama who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my
flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D) called and said, ''I need to fly to
Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer
planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. Mary Landrieu (D) LA. Senator called and had a question about the
documents she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy
discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh,
no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of
those.''

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa.
When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and
every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations,
''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.''

I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the
name of the town?''

'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.

After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up
every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is.
Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You
don't mean Buffalo, do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in!
