I just found out our national debt doesn't matter, and it will never affect me.
I think I'll just take the rest of the day off an go fishing.

It'll probably have some effects, mostly relative to political behavior.
The gloomy predictions about how we'll all be on the streets are never panning out. So yeah, if your anxiety about national debt was keeping you from enjoying life, please go out and have fun.

When the dollar becomes worthless, and we, as a country have defaulted on our debts...how exactly do you plan on buying food, water, etc? And how will you? How would you be paid by wherever you may still have a job?

I've explained this to you repeatedly. You didn't read it then, why would I engage you now?

Its obvious to me, and probably anyone who has read what you've typed, you have zero idea what you are talking about.
Why would I believe you now?

the opposite (truth), you can have an over-secure belief in the government. Good thing that's never happened before in recorded history.

I don't recall borrowing any of that money and I'm not going to pay it back. In the last five POTUS elections it didn't matter who you voted for because both side spend like drunken sailors.

I always like the football team analogy
Nov 12, 2019, 11:31 AM
[ in reply to liberal utopia, everyone equally miserable ] |
|
Ask a liberal to bet on the winner of a football game between two teams. Team A EVERYONE gets EQUAL playing time. Team B has these players called "starters" who play most of the game because they did the best in practice. And they have players of unequal talent competing for each position so the best player gets to play the most.
Who ya got and what's the spread....

Yeah that's not really accurate
Nov 12, 2019, 12:42 PM

you have one football team who gets the best equipment, top of the line trainers, top of the line coaches, and has top of the line facilities.
Then you have the other team who is just as skilled as the other team, but has none of the above.
Who wins?

Nov 12, 2019, 1:08 PM

string equally. I'm talking about not having ANY strings. Just every player plays an equal amount at their respective position. Let's go by alphabet for the rotation.
Clemson will lose to a USuC. EVERY TIME. Alabama would lose to Vanderbilt. EVERY TIME. Charlotte and Wofford might be a game. You can't even coach a team top play as a team if all the players rotate constantly. You won't have your 1st and second team cohesion. You'd have random guys of random skill playing randomly. O-line is weak on one play on the left side, another play on the right side. You have a short receiver on one play, a tall one on another. Heck, I'm not even sure how you could call plays. Your strengths and weaknesses would change every play. You would be killed by inferior players, with inferior skill, with inferior coaches. There is a reason no one does this.
You name starters, and make them compete for playing time in practice, you get the best out of every player, at every position, every game. If a guy knows he's going to get 4 minutes of playing time no matter how hard he tries in practice, you will get crap. In practice and in the game.

This Country will woe the day the Conservative agenda ...
Nov 12, 2019, 12:47 PM

disintegrated into partisan politics and Nationalism.
The yin and yang between Liberal and Conservative politics is gone.
The “political class” is consumed by self interest: financial and power. Alledged Service to country is lip service to numb the public. The win at all cost mentality has destroyed any opportunity for beneficial compromise. Politicians have to rigidly align to party platforms _ creating elections that are essentially a choice between a red and blue rock. Just count the rocks of each color on any legislation unless there is some perceived mutual gain for the “political class”.

No assignment of blame - partisan politics is a 2-way street

[ in reply to Always fascinates me to see people somehow blame ] |

Many aspects of a historical conservative agenda are not being advanced today. In fact, the antithesis is occurring .... such as deficit spending in a good economy and tariffs that increase farm subsidies. Even the tax cuts could potentially have been constructed more effectively. The stock buy backs are good for those invested (including me) but not sure of longer term impacts.
Regarding foreign affairs, it seems Conservatives we’re once aligned with NATO and reluctant to embrace a Putin led Russia.
Liberal policy on the other hand seems to be sliding further left ... but that’s another topic. Perhaps that movement is also something to woe.

the conservatives who used to talk about spending and the debt have almost all retired because the Trump administration just doesn't care about their priorities. A lot of those people were the ones who were more critical of Trump early on, too, so they're now considered "RINOs" by people who want Trump to be the embodiment of the Republican Party.
