[editline]14th October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Kopimi;32773551]ITT: Nobody bothering to think about how this will all be paid for[/QUOTE] They're paying for it by having a slight tax increase on millionaires, which is still at a lower rate than it was under Reagan.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;32773551]ITT: Nobody bothering to think about how this will all be paid for[/QUOTE] ITT: We forget basic Keynesian economics in favor of all the other shit tried since it went out of style that ruined the fucking economy. It's called deficit spending. 1930-1938. Third new deal afterwards. WWII. Deficit went up, then came back down, because, holy shit, the government spending on labor got the economy moving. All you guys want to talk about how shit will be "paid for" like you've never run a business in your life. You take out a loan, you buy gear, you make some money, you pay it off. This was an equipment purchase, not the same dipshitty "toss money at whatever" crap a lot of recent initiatives have been and you seem to think it was.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;32772694]No, their left-most members would be progressive which isn't center at all. Anyways I wasn't talking about Democrats. I sure as hell am not a Democrat. I was talking about us, as in Facepunch, which is predominantly left, especially among the most outspoken members.[/QUOTE] American Progressivism is Centre-Left, akin to Social Democratic groups in many European nations. A 'Leftist' is a Socialist or Communist generally, so referring to the Progressives as Leftist or even portraying the Democratic party as anything but Centrist is wholly incorrect.

For those saying that the Repubs are going to get elected - keep in mind, according to the polls, public opinion is [I]very[/I] against them. In fact, we might even see another swing like the 2010 election, except the other way.

It's leftist. Thinking that Progressivism or Social Democracy is anywhere near centrist is wholly incorrect. Hell, social democracy is as far left as you can get before socialism.

[QUOTE=stepat201;32771290]I'm no expert on the history of US politics but I know the country has been run many times by Republicans over the last century, why is it that it's so bad all of the sudden?[/QUOTE] The Republican party of long ago was comprised of very intelligent, very sane people. The Republican party of today has damn near become the complete opposite. A good majority are fucking crazy, or are media attention whores. The only Republicans that DO have pretty decent ideas wind up getting ignored because "Oh look, Michelle Bachmann said something silly! Let's make a news story about it that takes up half the fucking day!" Sorry if I end up sounding like an asshole, I'm just venting my rage here.
