Why the gently caress would they?

We've literally called up the last country we were at war with, told them exactly what we were going to do and how to do it and then because of how much we spend on our military we won without even really trying. We basically took the main highway to Baghdad with huge neon signs on our tanks saying "come stop up fuckers" and won handily. And I'm not saying this like I have a war boner or anything either... It's terrifying that the US military could basically curb stomp any other nation on earth even if it was being lead by George loving McClellan.

Then crippled by guerilla tactics while shoveling billions to private contractors. :911:

Quote of the last January, “After so many years of sluggish growth, we’re finally starting to see some economic data that can provide a glimmer of hope; the uptick appears to coincide with the biggest political change of the Obama Administration’s long tenure in Washington: the expectation of a new Republican Congress.” ~ Mitch McConnell.

Quote of the morning, "This report clearly shows that President Obama's efforts have not done enough to grow our economy and create jobs fast enough. It's very disappointing to see that job creation slowed down in March... Republicans in Congress know that their efforts to restore the economy have only just begun." ~ Reince Priebus.

I still don't understand how Jesus getting executed redeemed something. They always state this like it's such an obvious fact and I just do not understand why it is supposed to mean anything.

The story goes Jesus took our sins, died, and freed us from them by taking them with him to the sin vault or something. It's the whole sacrifice thing.

Adam and Eve sinned (by seeking knowledge) and because of that, all of their descendants (everyone) would be born with that sin on their souls.

Angry Old Testament God (TM) proceeds to destroy the world/towns several times for their sins. AOTG punishes people left and right for their sins. If you sacrificed something important, AOTG would call it even. This goes on for a few millennia.

Nice New Testament God (TM) has a change of heart and sends his son (or himself incarnate) to check out this world on a human level( or possibly the specific purpose of dying). Jesus spreads his good news and is sacrificed for it (remnants of AOTG).

His death took away the original sin of Adam and Eve. But to make sure that you are able to use that sacrifice as your "get out of jail free" card, you must live your life "for Jesus" (which really depends on the individual as to what that means).

If you think about it AOTG transitioned into NNTG after banging some dude's wife.

This isn't the line of thinking which gets EBT expanded.

If $1 of EBT generates $2 of taxes during the fiscal year, then yeah, you can make a great economic case for EBT. If it generates $2 of private enterprise spending? That won't balance your state budget and win you re-election.

Oh right asshats only care about bottom line.

Welcome to policy work, hope you don't share your opinions in public because you'll get nowhere, do nothing, and be nobody.

e:

I'm not asking whether EBT is revenue-neutral, I'm asking if EBT is revenue-generating. Revenue-neutral is a bit of a partisan issue these days, while revenue-generating allows additional tax breaks, exemptions, credits, and special priviledges to offset.

Hi Rand Paul.

Edit: really though the narrative of snap shouldn't be about revenue at all. It's spending to feed people so they can contribute to society.

I'm asking whether a policy can be sold to lawmakers in a manner which resonates with them, while you're standing in your ideological world afraid to face the reality of policy work in America.

Which one of those is closer to Paul's framework, you idealogue? You hit policy makers with an economic argument, and THEN you follow it up with a moral argument. You don't play Horatio Hornblower and scream into the wind about the morality of a policy when your morality is so Nelsonian when theirs is modern.

What the gently caress are you talking about here?
