Halloween Jack posted:When people say that we need to reduce the debt/deficit, what they mean is that they want to cut social spending. Of course they have no understanding of the actual accounting involved. Sporadically you get people who want to cut military spending instead - or increase taxes. Not that I think the guy in question wanted either of those.

Contract marriages aren't super duper common, but they also aren't uncommon. They're technically not allowed, but in practice it almost never goes anywhere in terms of punishment, because it's relatively hard to prove motive in those cases.

spouse posted:Not that he probably knew the difference, but wouldn't the deficit mean simply balancing the federal budget to be net $0 rather than negative? Bringing the national debt to $0 would be paying everyone back. Bonds, by definition, are debt financing. If you have an outstanding bond issue you are in debt. A balanced budget in these terms means not accruing any MORE debt. Where the language (and understanding) usually stops in things like this is talking about the latter as "deficit spending", i.e. a budget that spends more than it takes in. And you're over-thinking all of this. The terminology and accounting are meaningless in this context. It's just using a bunch of words that don't sound as blatant as "gently caress the poor".

Even beyond contract marriages, you have people getting married way too early in the military because "I wanna live off base, and I kinda like this person" or "Whoops, protection failed, if it was even used at all". Soooo many divorces following those. So many. At least the contract marriage peeps go in planning on an end point.

From what i learned from the americans in gip, its probably against the ucmj and the mil loves charging people. But unless they have a copy of a physical contract you signed stating it was a sham marriage, they probably cant do poo poo.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would also imagine that if the marriage was an actual legal marriage and consummated (you can definitely tell I'm not a lawyer) then isn't that just a marriage with a pre-nup?

Sharing this one because I've rarely seen so effective a way to say a lot about yourself while saying nothing at all. Should I (24F) break up with my bf (24M) because of his bigoted opinions? quote:We love and respect each other with no trust issues and plan to marry in the future. However, whenever we discuss anything remotely socio-political, both of us can never seem to keep the argument civil. It has caused a lot of fights, and our solution has been to avoid those topics of conversation. From the comments: quote:Are you implying that your BF is racist? Or that you are? Not sure what you think the general public believes or what you think mainstream media is feeding him.

It's tough because "mainstream media is lying" is used by both right wing maga chuds and hardcore socialist genocide deniers, so either way it's pretty clear the OP is some flavor of a trash fire human being.

She's being super coy about any specifics so it's almost certainly the nazi thing. If she was mad about some kind of actual bigotry she'd talk about that instead of trying to make their point of dispute some kind of loving riddle

I was briefly married to a friend of mine when I was in the Army and it owned. I got to get a sweet apartment off post and a travel buddy/wingwoman, she got some spending money and a two year vacation in Italy. BAH pays for two bedrooms. We didn't gently caress each other, maintained the lie at three or four mandatory fun events a year and divorced as friends. A++ would recommend. Back in the bad old don't ask, don't tell days it was quite common for people to couple up as mutual beards.

No, you can't come. See you in a few weeks." repeat four times a year. No wonder the poor kid resents them.
