"These are good things that will occur, except for the prostitution. That's a terrible idea and you just need to go over to eastern Europe and talk to all the women that are being destroyed by legalized prostitution in western europe."Have YOU talked to these women, or have you been watching propaganda? I can show you the legal brothels in Nevada where the women are hardly being destroyed, but happy in a life that THEY chose.A well-regulated brothel with health benefits, legal recourse against non-paying/violent customers, and elimination of pimps is by far a much more desirable situation than what we have today.What's making drugs and prostitution dangerous is the very fact that they are illegal. The same thing happened with prohibition. Prohibition gave birth to violent mobsters and a black market. When you make something that people like doing illegal, they're still going to do it, but outlawing it only succeeds in creating outlaws.
Someone has plundered the USA from within. Woodrow Wilson helped set the FED in business. Before he died he said in regret that the Americans would loose their country to a handful of foreigners. This is what is taking place now. Regardless if the Democrats or the Republicans are in office, the country is constantly drained by some Zionists sucking the lifeblood of the American people. Please educate yourselves and stop blaming your puppet presidents. Yes I know they are guilty of treason, but start looking higher up in the food chain for the puppeteers. Only then will you find a solution for your predicament.<a class="user" href="http://iamthewitness.com">http://iamthewitness.com</a>
I'm not arguing that there is a perfect relation between the amount the Government spends and economic growth. I don't believe that.I assume Halliburton and Boeing pays their taxes, right? And who is their largest customer?True, that money, viewed strictly as a stimulus, would have been more effectively spent by private corporations and individuals, but the point is that revenue would drop if the gov't spent less. That's why it's foolish to focus strictly on revenue in this debate.
Why does everyone think that we actually have to PAY BACK the debt. We don't, we never will, nor should we. We just make payments on it. It's necessary for the growth of our economy it's called LEVERAGE. It's how businesses, which we are, make money. Here's how the process goes, government spends more than it gets, government takes more from us, government spends even more, government takes even more. We must STARVE the government for money in order to keep it from spending more and more and more. How do you think we got from a 1% income tax all the way to 40% in less than 100 years. What is the "right" level for taxes? If you ask me it's waaaay less than 50% which we will soon surpass if one of these liberals gets into office.
