So, you got that bucket of "society" to lend me, or not?you wish, "oddball".
What's most funny is that you are tongue tied and can't wager any kind of responses.
It's a great way to get elected. It's a shitty way to run a country -- as recent history shows.Hope. Change. It's time.
It is a winning message. It worked for Carter after Watergate, for Reagan, for Clinton, for G.W. Bush, and for Obama.
what is sad about that?
The Bushies apparently thought it was a good way to help keep AIDS from spreading.I don't care who signed the check. It's an astoundingly stupid way to spend tax dollars.I've said all over USMB what I would cut from the budget. Maybe some on the left could pick what they would save from the list below...

NewsBusters' Huston falsely claims Obama responsible for funding "Chinese hookers" study
May 13, 2009 1:09 pm ET
SUMMARY: NewsBusters' Warner Todd Huston falsely claimed that President Obama funded a $2.6 million NIH grant to "help train Chinese prostitutes to 'drink responsibly on the job.' " In fact, the grant was awarded during the Bush administration.
In a May 13 blog entry posted on several conservative blogs, NewsBusters contributing writer Warner Todd Huston falsely claimed that President Obama funded a $2.6 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to "help train Chinese prostitutes to 'drink responsibly on the job.' " In the post -- headlined, "Obama Pays to Treat Alcoholism in Chinese Hookers" -- Huston claimed that "the President of 'change' seems to be The One that drunken Chinese prostitutes 'have been waiting for.' ... [D]id Obama become president of Chinese hookers, too?" In fact, the NIH grant, which will "establish and evaluate whether an alcohol and HIV intervention center can assist in reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS among sex workers in China," was awarded during the Bush administration. Indeed, the very source Huston cited in making the claim -- a May 12 Cybercast News Service (CNS) article -- reported that the grant was "made last November." A Wayne State University press release announcing the grant was issued on November 5, 2008.
Bret Baier and Glenn Beck each also referred to the $2.6 million NIH grant during the May 12 broadcasts of their respective Fox News programs and portrayed the grant as controversial, but neither mentioned that the grant was made during the Bush administration.

"Government" can be properly defined as the collectivized use of force.So, you got that bucket of "society" to lend me, or not?you wish, "oddball".
What's most funny is that you are tongue tied and can't wager any kind of responses.
Gimme my bucket of "government" first.
Oh I forgot, we need a whole society to produce a bucket.
Tell you what, you make me a bucket without using anything at all that society provides. I will be waiting.
See the vikings actually could make nails from scratch to repair their marooned ships and return to Europe next year. You can't even make a nail without the blessings of society, and yet you think you made your own wealth based on just your efforts!!!!
Hilarious!
Pretty lame dodge....What's this mythical "society" without the individuals acting?
And they will, if the government doesn't immediately spend even more than the increased revenue, like they did with Bush's tax cuts.You forgot:
tax cuts reduce the deficit
And:
You can tax a nation into prosperity.
The difference being that the teapartiers actually are asserting that extending the tax breaks will reduce the deficit.
Seems to me that Obama et. al. are making the same mistake.It's a great way to get elected. It's a shitty way to run a country -- as recent history shows.It is a winning message. It worked for Carter after Watergate, for Reagan, for Clinton, for G.W. Bush, and for Obama.
what is sad about that?
You're doing what the party propagandists want. You''re confusing politicking with governing.
You think the government is functioning now?Running the country on hope? To do so one would have to stop the government from functioning and hope things would get better on it's own.
Really? I thought they figured a better way was for people not to engage in risky behaviors.The Bushies apparently thought it was a good way to help keep AIDS from spreading.I don't care who signed the check.

You 'thought'? Read the article and the links and then you will know. I even bolded it:Really?

If by "We the People" you mean the GOP trying to buy votes with tax cuts, you would be Right.What a load of swill.
Right?
Sadly, "We the People" decided that around half of us should pay no income tax, making the rest of us easy targets for the parasites.
