That $100 billion would be better spent figuring out what the hell is wrong with his face.

Wouldn't they be more afraid of Obama droning them without due process?

Because honestly that seems like a bigger threat

Man you are so pissed that someone actively engaged in war with the United States of America was killed in the process of said war.

If the FBI cannot even determine if a Pakistani immigrant who married a US citizen and operated an IED factory out of her residence in California had ties to terrorism after she commits a mass casual attack against a soft government target, how can we trust the vetting process for Syrian refugees?

Because nothing Syrian refugees could do would be worse than your posting.

Gravity: Doesn't exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts orbiting it. Of course, that's just the tip of the gravity myth. Think about it. Scientists want us to believe that the sun has a gravitation pull strong enough to keep a planet like neptune or pluto in orbit, but then it's not strong enough to keep the moon in orbit? Why is that? What I believe is going on here is this: These objects in space have yet to receive mans touch, and thus have no sin to weigh them down. This isn't the case for earth, where we see the impact of transfered sin to material objects. The more sin, the heavier something is.

So does this mean that the moon landings didn't happen or that we only sent saints up?

I'm guessing the poo poo that would go down with a republican president post-Obama would make Bush's executive action look tame in comparison.

Yeah, it sure is horrible how Obama established a precedent for executive overreach, something that had never before occurred in the nation's history. Alas, if it hadn't been for Obama, no future Republican President would ever have gotten the idea to do something outside the bounds of the office.

Oh so Obama meant to drop much needed supplies on his own citizens instead of drone missiles.

Okay that makes more sense.

Man, if Obama killing one American citizen actively engaged in war against the United States makes you this angry, wait until you learn about this guy named Abraham Lincoln.

And when you're not old enough to work, but still hungry, you can hold on to that motivation, like a little ember of capitalist fire within you.

Also about that whole "not old enough to work" thing...

That's why we need to abolish all child labor laws, obviously.

You can substitute "everyone with debt" with "anyone who isn't rich as gently caress", honestly.

Inflation is bad, deflation is bad, we just need to stay right here and never change anything. Debt jubilees coupled with deflation could be good for the economy.

Moderate inflation is a good thing.

He believes in the economic theory in the textbooks he likes. Meanwhile he doesn't believe in the also-widely-accepted economic theory of other leading economists with huge amounts of power and authority in our culture.

Out of curiosity, what are the widely-accepted economic theories Krugman doesn't believe in, and who are the leading economists who promote it?

Supply side theorists, austerity pushers, disciplines of the University of Chicago style neo-liberalist economics, etc.

I wouldn't call supply-side "widely accepted", unless we're talking about people who aren't economists here.

A baseball game cannot end with a score of zero to zero, putting it ahead of soccer in the "things happening" department.
