If only. I don't like the precedent of more and more executive actions, especially from a person known for taking money from other governments.

Luigi Thirty posted:Trump says that the solution to the national debt is to default and cut a deal so we don't pay 100 cents on the dollar which he could do because he makes deals for a living. This is the first Trumpism in a long while that made me laugh out loud. There are some really nervous people who have voted Republican all their lives right about now. quote:Mr. Trump told CNBC that he was concerned about the impact of higher interest rates on the cost of servicing the federal debt. I look forward to the interest rates on US treasury paper going up 0.1 points for every point Trump closes on Clinton in the polls, since, you know, the guy is literally saying the country doesn't want to pay its debt in full. The best part is that this is essentially the Bravely Default school of fiscal policy, but brought to its logical conclusion. Just like the abortion gaffe.

It's embarrassing watching her campaign. I actually think Hillary is interested in using the position for doing (what she considers to be) good. She doesn't seem like a put it on the mantle kind of person. But I may just be a rube.

Well, considering how close we came in 2011 with the debt ceiling "crisis" (and I personally witnessed interning in Congress) because US lawmakers are loving idiots who don't know even the basics of America's relationship to the international economy or how national debt works, lenders have precedence to worry. E: David Brooks is delusional and needs some serious CBT therapy to realize his delusions about the GOP. Teriyaki Koinku fucked around with this message at 14:47 on May 6, 2016 |

David Brooks was a GOP insider back in the 90's, he might just know more than us. Edit: Wait, I'm thinking of David Brock. David Brooks is just that one guy who seems nice and smart sometimes but secretly has terrible opinions that make him compulsively vote GOP.

No, but back in 2011 if you'd have asked hardline GOPers what their line on the debt ceiling was, the answer could've been boiled down to those two words. I've never actually played the game so I didn't have anything clever to keep the joke going.

Mr Hootington posted:Ah cool couldn't remember. I could see them default if it was during the election and trump was demanding it. Congress does have a budget to pass though, so we could still see a shut down. But I don't think the two parties are so stupid as to hand the presidency to Trump like that.

In areas of the South explicitly Christian schools have been receiving State funding for some time, Those schools aren't public schools. That's why they exist, and they're not running the same curriculum in the public schools, the way they were before 1965 or so.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:a government shutdown does not favor trump Please explain how "the usual destructive behavior of those career politicians" in this hyperpartisan environment hurts the "outsider"? Even during the 2013 shutdown, 49% of Americans either blamed Democrats or both parties equally. If they blame Democrats for a shutdown they aren't going to not vote for Trump. And if they blame both parties equally, they're definitely not voting for a "more of the same" candidate like Hillary (but they might be willing to vote for an outsider like Trump)

With the FCC working hard to crack down on abusive phone rates in jails, the companies responsible are already moving on to the new leading edge of jail technology: replacing all in-person visitation with 50¢ per minute video visitation that does not even work.
