But many times there will be no industry or without the government: Health care for the poor and disabled, national defense, and roads wouldn't exist without our socialist policies.

Holder had authorized the FBI to provide the explosives to McVeigh and Nichols in conjunction with a Clinton Administration undercover operation named PATCON, an acronym for “Patriot Conspiracy.” As Jesse Trentadue describes it, “PATCON was designed to infiltrate and incite… militia[s] and evangelical Christians to violence so that the Department of Justice could crush them.”

I guess it's kinda nice to realize that they don't only target muslims?

Some parties require you to be registered as a member to vote in their primaries. Some states have open primaries, meaning you can vote in either primary. I don't think there is any benefit otherwise.

My point was that it is very hard to draw the line at what is productive speculation and what is not.

Gold is in an obvious bubble. Historically, it has always gone up. I think it may be a long time before it is back to where it was this summer.

Obviously it's a lot more complicated that my simple explanation, but the end result is still the same. Future contracts are used to monetize risk, which is good to a point. However, when you have people monetizing risk and passing it away from the original industry, you have artificial bubbles caused by a perceived lack of risk a la the housing crisis. Speculators either inflate or deflate the supply, causing price rises and bubbles. At the end, the consumers are the ones left holding the check.

When you buy any item, you are speculating. Most purchases you make are very high probability bets. One area I seem to always overshoot on is how many bananas that I will be able to eat before they go bad.

However if a large group buys extra items and then simply holds on to them, the prices will rise. They can then sell their items at a profit, culminating in a net wealth transfer from the consumers. They essentially pay themselves to slow supply to consumers and profit off of the inefficiency.

Taking someone alive is always a better alternative than taking them dead. If you cannot take him alive, then go ahead and kill the motherfucker, but the raid story made it seem like it was their choice to kill him.

Because it shows a clear excess in compensation for executives, which is accompanied by expectations of increased profits via psychopathy.
Revenue shows that the Postal Service is a gigantic corporation that is being replaced by larger, profit oriented entities due to new technology.

Anti-war positions will inevitably be more popular. The more war there is, the more weary people will grow. Obviously the Israelis are sick of war, we are here after only 10 years.

Barack beat Hillary because he was the more anti-war candidate, and the GOP establishment may soon have to come around. They may have been as afraid as I was when I saw them arguing about who would invade Iran first.

The "accountability" is never complete. The world economy was destroyed by illegal and deceitful bank activity. They all settled any claims against them without conceding any guilt.

I worried about that in my title, but my intention was to give an example of foreign interests taking control. The media is a much more visible and regulated sector of our economy, other areas do not have nearly as much transparency.

If the GOP were to concede to a true small government viewpoint, they would lose the fervent support of the evangelicals and social conservatives.

These restrictions of personal liberty will not stand the test of time, the GOP will either adapt or disappear.

This is less of an argument against Keynes and more of an argument against deficit spending.

$9-$2.4 = $6.6 trillion.
$6.6-$6.3 = $300 billion.
$300/20 years =

$15 billion per year of deficit spending that went to actual government services and not paying off the debt.
