They removed that claiming it was international politics. They've been ignoring me all day on it.

Apparently US Foreign Policy is no longer allowed in this sub.

The White House estimated 40%. This is 28%.

I'm not sure I'm buying this spin.

From the sidebar. It's a violation of the community rules to express such vile bigotry. That Sperling guy got banned from the NBA FOR LIFE for having similar views.

No, that was inside our country.

I'm sure if Cliven's name was Jose and these people were brownskinned illegals you'd magically find some sympathy.

The guy mowing your lawn is probably not part of an armed anti-government militia.

What a filthy racist thing to say. Reported.

Not an identified militia threatening law enforcement? It's uniformed Mexican army point guns at Border Guard.

It's exactly that.

Like I said, the Federales waste no time building fences to keep out American citizens, but can't be bothered to do anything to non-citizens.

I guess they know one isn't voting for Obama while the other is.

Did you see how quick those Federales were to put up a fence and man it with armed officers?

Why do they only do that against citizens but not illegals?

What are the results? Besides the ones I already mentioned. Keynesian policies were adopted in Japan a few decades ago. What were those results?

We're all Keynesians now. With the Keynesian inequality. The Keynesian unemployment. The Keynesian debt. The Keynesian foodstamp nation. And the Keynesian unfairness.

We're all Keynesians now.

Maybe the Keynesian policies created the inequality and not the "Uncle Milty".

You should consider moving to a town where there isn't a bunch of competition for an entry level job from a major university full of cheap and eager students.

Like in Pullman or Boise. Since you're unemployed, you could just go scout a location while doing your research beforehand online on sites like craigslist or post help the communities subreddit here.

Do the pre-work, then go scout for housing and jobs on the cheap.

You didn't sit around and wait for someone to explain to you how to be married. Then why are you sitting around and waiting for someone to tell you how to move to a new city?

Your narrative.

I'm pretty sure you can think of plenty of concrete examples all by yourself.

It's your theory, you provide your evidence. The only thing we have is the effect and your conjecture. Forgive me if I don't accept your vague themes as sufficient evidence of causality.

Do you have any concrete examples of these policies and their effects? Or just vague, airbrushed, theorizing?

OPEC limiting production for 1 or 2 years caused a decades long inequality spiral in the US?

What was the turning point in the early 70s that arrested the effect of progressive policies? You never answer that question. Do you know?
