Then please post better sources than I provided in post #76.

Or could you post the names of the "better sources" you speak of.

Thank you,
Chad.

But the corporate backed Fox news, Rush radio, and republican politicians say global warming is a hoax. Who should you trust in scientific matters NASA and the scientific community (or) Fox news and republican politicians?

Republicans say global warming is a hoax because combating global warming would decrease corporate profits.

Meet The Climate Denial Machine



"GW Bush-Appointed Federal Reserve Chair Bernanke says: "I Don't Think That As A General Rule Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves."

"GW Bush Treasury Secretary Paulson says: "As A General Rule, I Don't Believe That Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves."

"GW Bush CEA Chairman Lazear says: "As A General Rule, We Do Not Think Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves."

"GW Bush Economic Adviser Samwick: "Tax Cuts Have Not Fueled Record Revenues."

"GW Bush Economic Adviser Viard: "Federal Revenue Is Lower Today Than It Would Have Been Without The Tax Cuts."

Media Myth That Cutting Taxes Boosts Revenue Revived For 2012


Even GW Bush's own economists say tax cuts don't increase revenues. But republicans don't believe economists in matters of economics, instead they believe Fox news, Rush radio, and republican politicians.

They're all lies.

It's you just making stuff up ("every scientific academy on earth"; "99% of all scientific groups and sources;" Paulson, Bernanke and Lazear all saying "as a general rule" -- yeah, sure, they all said that -- and the transparent lie that Bush's economic advisers said that tax cuts did not increase government tax revenue when in fact they did) combined with your "sources" -- Media Matters (loony dishonest nutcases), Wikipedia (which anyone can edit), and lying government agencies that have their own political agendas....I would like to think that this sort of fluff cannot fly in this forum. We're not that dumb. At least not all of us.

You're the one making the claim.

It's up to you to prove it.

The metaphor of two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner has manifested itself in reality in the extreme.

The Left (now far left) is and should be frightened at the notion of Donald Trump determining their future for 4-8 years. Similarly, the Right (now far right) is and should be frightened of the possibility of Hillary Clinton determining their future for 4-8 years
Hilary is center-right, as with so many of these arguments, you make a false equivalency of the two parties. There is an extreme right (GOP) and the center-right (Democrsts)

There is no "extreme left" in American politics.

The overwhelming number of promises made by a candidate, if elected, require Acts of Congress and funding.

Seems to me the majority of Congress critters are none too fond of any of the front runners, or their platforms.

Any of you ever notice that the RED states are the ones receiving more money from the Federal government than they receive? If these states succeeded they would economically collapse while the BLUE states thrived without the economic drag.


The problem is the RED states keep the Blue states from forming a continuous country.

Question about secession. If say for example, Wyoming or Texas did leave the union. Would residents, old or new still be eligible for SS.

They can't, so it's a moot point. Likely that would be a negotiating point. Sort of like what would happen to National Parks within the State boundary, and is the State responsible for a proportionate share of the national debt?
