If you are pretty wealthy, let's say making $500k+ a year, and you manage to own a home in the Bay Area, and this tech bubble pops, does the value of your impossibly expensive home suddenly drop, or does everything stay expensive, startups just disappear while Google headquarters in the Caymans?

Even if Republican operatives run out of Benghazi steam, they won't, they're planning on making sure no matter what data between now and November arrives. The magic number is <1% GDP growth. Benghazi gets the base out, because Democrats are heartless liberals who like when soldiers or rather those we'd like to claim are soldiers die overseas serving, because Their economic messaging isn't even required, because everyday living under this corrupt AFRICAN man is a bad day in America.

Sword of Chomsky posted:Reading your posts is painful. I don't even know what you are trying to say. No. I'm saying that's what they're doing in internet comments and opinion sites that they all read. They're full of it, and yet they're still going to take the Senate. This is not at all a controversial opinion. Hope Republicans can clutch defeat from the jaws of victory, because I still feel it is possible. I was just commenting how utterly delusional GOP voters are right now.

The Warszawa posted:Hey, there are parts of the south that are raising taxes on themselves to fund public services! Excuse me, but the very highly rated comment from a man forced by his evil liberal mother to send his white bigoted rear end to Malcom X Highschool ruined his life because he had no white friends to insult the loving n- Liberals are evil. Also every racist literally says, "Call me a racist, but it's the truth, and thus not racist!" Nonsense fucked around with this message at 21:34 on May 17, 2014 |

A proletariat reminder that Rush Limbaugh once lived in a gilded French penthouse in the Liberal poo poo Wastes of NYC. Please think of that as you read him jokingly suggesting people eat from dumpsters.

Caros posted:I too wish the US government had decided to let effectiveky every major (and most minor by extension) US financial institution fail. I have always wanted to live in a bizarre road warrior like state. The result is they'll do it again, and never be punished for it. The alternative is depression, that leaves little room to feel anything good about our country's current trajectory if you ask me. Glad the whole depression thing didn't happen though, I thought it was loving insane when the House voted it down, and all those youtubes of crazy conservatives toasting to it.

absolem posted:You are overstating the negative effects of letting that group fail (although not by too much). The problem is, we haven't fixed the problem. Its still there, our economy is still massively weaker than it looks at first glance. We've also left in place all of the poo poo policy that helped cause this mess (read: regulation) and the people who caused it on the bank side are largely still around. The bailout just reset the timer. We'll hit another wall sooner or later, and I just pray we don't kick the can down the road again, because every time that happens the next one will be worse. It will continue to be kicked down the road because no politician is going to let the financial institutions of the United States collapse from some inconvenient bullshit.

Kiwi Ghost Chips posted:Restricting "spending in support of or opposition to candidates" means that I can't so much as buy a political lawn sign without Congress' permission. hth There's like only one company that makes all political signs anyway. Maybe this will free the market? Open markets lead to open minds. Also, this should pass and Ted Cruz should still eat Jim Crow.

This or, they'll say our nation has always dishonored our veterans, but especially that wily Democrat racist Wilson.

Yeah man, that thing that didn't happen at all is why the scenario that did should not lead to further gun legislation.

The Tea Party has been utterly smashed into dust in every state, but Texas, and now they command the most influential and powerful office in the state. Amazing. Of the 80K+ registered voters in town, only 700 voted.
