You are entitled to be silly.
Romney took last night easily, more easily than I expected, and I expect the next debate for Romney to move ever more to the center.
No wrath just straight out point another's lack of ability and content. I pos rep everybody at one time or another, from far lefty to far righty. That includes bigrebnc as a matter of fact, once.
So if I rep you when ur right, I can neg rep you when ur are being deliberately ignorant.
Romney has proposed NOTHING that could possibly mistaken for centrist. He told us last night he would end Medicare for people under 60. He told us last night that he would privatize the commons, and anything else he can possibly liquidate. He said he would pander to the most extreme elements of the GOP, the TEABAGGERS and implement their EXTREME anti-environment agenda. He told us last night he would implement Paul Ryan's budget which means the word 'public' would no longer exist. The Congressional Budget Office's projection of the Ryan budget estimates to 2050. Defense spending would be kept relatively constant, while what the government has left would be "0.75 percent of GDP - about 100 billion for everything besides defense that the government does." That's what is devoted to education and vocational training now. Suppose that was kept.
"It would leave nothing for infrastructure. Nothing for unemployment insurance. Nothing for food stamps. Nothing for border patrol. Nothing for the FDA, FAA, or FBI. Nothing for research and development. Nothing, even, to pay people to work in government! Do you think it's important to support our veterans with health care, education, and retirement security? Sorry. Veterans programs currently cost more than 1% of our GDP. There would be no room."
The Congressional Budget office estimates that Ryan's "long-term budget, if you project forward defense spending, would cut 91 percent from these and all other non-defense programs. Ninety-one percent." That's 91 percent of The Public gone: Medical and scientific research. Pell grants. The EPA. The NIH. NPR. The small business administration. Unemployment insurance. Regulation of corporations. Money to help state and local governments. Highway repair. Air traffic controllers. And all government employees doing everything The Public does.
So, you should neg rep yourself Jake.
Irony there Jake. When I asked you to tell me who the far left were in Congress, your answer was: "I can. Can you?"
Well Jake, you can't even tell who the far right are. I can. Can you?
Your Mittens told us how far right he is. Farther right than Bush. But you can't tell, because THAT is what you believe too.
