The budget deal is already passed, so it just makes the republicans look absolutely loving stupid for no reason and pretty much nothing happens until 2017.

Republicans lit'rally got kids voting for 'em.

Sure you can, they are trying to do just that with the "5 state solution" to take out California.

That was proposed by a wackjob libertarian who has bought millions and millions of dollars of bitcoins from the federal government (and incidentally has lost money on all of them due to the price falling since auction), and the plan has soundly failed. The creation of Cascadia is more likely than ol johnny 5 californias.

Not yet, Ryan still has to cut the throat of the previous speaker in the rotunda. I mean, in the Freedom Foyer. Before it is official.

Why did state run, planned and socialist economies become evil? If you look at Ancient Egypt and the Inca Empire, they both had strong, state-run planned economies for much of their history and they lasted 2500 and 300 years respectively under those economic systems. Hell, when they finally did fall apart it wasn't their economies that did them in. Add to that the evidence from bioarchaeology that the common people living in these places were usually a bit better off than their peers in non-planned economies and it just seems like historically, a socialist-style economy works better than a feudal or capitalist one, where the commoners pretty much just get hosed.

But to hear the candidates talk in that idiotic debate, you'd think that it's never worked ever in the history of humans. I mean, yeah the Soviet Union kind of hosed up, but really that's as much due to our fuckery as it is anything inherent in socialism.

They are hugely in favor of centralized planning that benefits the rich, oppose it when you talk about anything that could aid the poor. For example, all the credits and subsidies for fossil fuels are good and cool and not the state picking winners and losers, but a tax credit for installing solar panels is a Nazi-communist idea that fell straight from Satan's butthole. Or defense procurement vs health care.

Socialize the risk, privatize the reward, and keep who it is privatized to a small circle
