Lacey posted:Will that make the US dollar strong or weak? Also is it a strong or a weak dollar that's good for the economy? Not sure if you are serious or not but... Demand for anything sold in USD makes the currency strong. Currency prices can be driven by market forces or by monetary policy, debt, inflation, etc. A strong dollar is good for imports (we can buy more stuff per dollar). A weak dollar is good for exports (people will want to buy more of our stuff since it's cheaper). Since the US is a net importer (this is called a trade deficit), we benefit most from a strong dollar right now. However if we started to manufacture and export a lot of stuff, we might benefit from a weaker dollar. e: ok nm, didn't see that Trump quote. joke went over my head.

Mr Havafap posted:"You know" says the British envoy on his way to Brussels "I've been traveling back and forth between London and Brussels with an empty briefcase these last few months. I mean, my briefcase literally is empty, I have nothing to show and can't answer a single question. I'm not sure what my mission is except showing up? And smiling, I suppose.." Lol

Can we just go ahead and have our socialist revolution that's inevitably going to happen at this point? Might as well get it out of the way.

Play posted:You're right, although have they gotten much face time with him? I don't think most have had the opportunity, but they've owned him in every other way. I think the Dems should go home for recess and hold rallies with their constituents against all this poo poo, and rhetorically eviscerate him every chance they get. It would be convincing to the public to make a big push on the health care issue as soon as possible, and show people they've got personality and spirit (those that do, obviously). You're completely right of course. proof of concept posted:Fun fact: the us will hit its debt ceiling in 4 days on wed. March 15th and Congress has not even mentioned this let alone done anything to deal with it Man that ceiling's been going up and up for decades. Does a realistic plan exist to not default? If we still haven't figured out a way to improve it at all after Ronnie bumping it up seventeen times in a row... seems like watching a homeless person buying a lottery ticket... common sense indicates one possible result. I say this as an average American, who knows nothing about their own debt ceiling except that all the smart people seem flummoxed by it.

Cobweb Heart posted:You're completely right of course. Tbh taxes are overdue to be raised since they were deeply cut by bush and I don't think were raised since (I think Donny wants to cut them more. Not that it really affects him greatly since I hear he hasn't paid income taxes for years). Health care costs are also spiraling the entitlements out of control, and could be helped with a single payer system for every American to control costs. Edit: regardless of what a proper solution is, it's out of control due to a lack of political willpower Scary! fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Mar 12, 2017 |

Also I been thinking, with how rough trump's first month as president has treated him health wise, how the hell is he gonna handle 8 years of this PLUS however many years Russian presidents serve? And do they even have golf in Russia? He's in for some rough years and I thought the whole point of being filthy rich was to retire early

Maybe we could give a massive tax break for Tupolev to come into the US and design a new Air Force One really super big cheaply. They make great planes for taking out the entire executive branches

Roargasm posted:no it's a 50 year old theory that has pretty much been proven true by declassified documents. no it hasn't. all of the evidence points to lee harvey oswald being the lone gunman. the only way to get to "conspiracy" is to think "CIA killed Kennedy" and then working backwards from there and misinterpreting all sorts of information - which isn't how determining if something happened works. people grasped onto conspiracy talk early on because humans naturally think extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary causes. it's why some people just can't grasp that 19 men were able to carry out 9/11.
