  1. It really wouldn't though. First of all, there's the issue of managing the rate of cuts to avoid the recessionary impact. Second, there's the simple fact that you could cut %100 of all discretionary spending and it wouldn't be enough to fund the federal deficit. Our issue is non-discretionary, ie legally mandatory spending - Social security, national defense, interest payments on the debt, medicare, and medicaid. More or less in that order. It's a solvable problem, but saying we could "just cut spending" is just as fantastical as "we should just tax wealth".
  2. Spending cuts would not make the tax code more equitable. It would merely reduce the subsidy paid to us by the unborn.
  3. I don't know if this is the place to discuss it, but the gymnastics involved in trying to alchemically convert asset ownership into income for the purpose of taxing the wealthy is a great example of why efforts to make the tax structure more equitable would be more straightforward and successful if we taxed consumption (ie spending) as it exceeded graduated thresholds rather than production. Wealth is not work. Wealth is the equity that accrues to someone or something as the surplus value of their labor and the labor of others. It is not income, but the result of income, and it is folly to treat it the same way.
  4. I'm sorry I just can't get over the eyeliner.
  5. OK, all that would be fine if he were saving it for some late September/October push, but where on earth has he spent so much the money he's raised to this point? Do you see $30mm worth of campaigning somewhere?
  6. 5) Yitzach Rabin 4) Menachem Begin 3) Golda Meir 2) David Ben Gurion 1) Donald John Trump
  7. Colin Allred's campaign is based on the premise of The Producers.
  8. And who would be the one to do that? Dana Bash? HOw are you embedding tiktoks?
  9. Yes, but that’s because the cocaine was cut with laxatives
  10. Why am I not surprised you like that lame boomer shit.
  11. Excited! Fuck Neil Young’s boring music tho
  12. I love that clip. Hard to see in that cut but the horn section has a great reaction when HCJ jukes the audience onto 2&4.
  13. That white lady was clapping on one and three, live, on 7 networks.
  14. Meanwhile Colin Allred is … somewhere I guess
  15. “These are the Terms and Conditions of a second Trump Presidency” what a great line
  16. I mean, OK. I never felt compelled to defend George Allen, but whatever it was that made you think any of that was real, I’m glad you know it was mostly bullshit now.
