The only way to address the deficit is to reduce government spending, or increase taxes, both of which will reduce GDP.

This is just wrong. The government does not produce anything. Any dollar that it spends is one it has borrowed from nowhere (creating inflation) or that it has taxed from its citizens. A reduction in government spending does not reduce GDP because that dollar remains with the taxpayers who are free to spend it on whatever they wish. Increasing taxation could theoretically pay down the deficit faster, but good luck getting the government to committing to paying down the deficit instead of finding more useless NGOs to throw the money at.

This was for cloture, so it needed 60 votes to then be officially voted on. Just die on tranny hill, people will love that you're doing this than anything to "lower prices n' sheeeeeittt."

They're really doing this, huh? They're really full-sending it for the foreseeable future. Interesting, let's see how it plays out for them.


There is NO FUCKING WAY they're going to start using this rhetoric now. They're out of their goddamn MINDS. They have a lot of nerve.

Toss clocks at me if I'm late and gay on this, but supposedly Trump is gonna fuck up USPS:


r/usps and a handful of various servers run by or for that community (discord, IRC, Facebook, etc.) have been locking down for the last few hours because people are losing their shit. And also this is still sort of a rumor at this point.

So, as it happens, this turned out to be rumor and little more. Granted, it's the kind of thing Trump would want to do, so it's worth being aware of.
 
24 hours and 60 pages, great

its rather telling how every confederate seems to have some grandkid who loved america so much they proudly served meanwhile not a single piece of shit whining about the confederates will have grandchildren that will love this country enough to serve in the military, hell 99% of the people whining about the confederacy didn't even have grandparents that were US citizens.

Even if they're not related, it really goes to show everyone knows "classic" american names vs the names of liberals
Dunno...naming it after Lt General Moore "We Were Soldiers And Young" wasn't a bad thing, hope they can find another base to name after him.
 
Unrelated, has there been a new PM picked for Canada yet, since Trudoh resigned? Because I am hoping that Germany and Canada will team up and kick Trump's ass, making way for Vance.
Trudeau is putting in his direct handpicked subordinate to be the PM until the upcoming elections.
Hoping it will give them incumbent advantage and prevent the conservatives from winning.
Very sneaky. Snake behavior from Trudeau is common tho
 
Bag milk exists in the US in places but it isn’t cheaper enough to make it worth the extra hassle.

Sysco sells five gallon bags of milk for commercial kitchens and cafeteria dispensers. They come in boxes.
Milk companies have been selling milk that way for over fifty years, from personal experience.
 
A reduction in government spending does not reduce GDP because that dollar remains with the taxpayers who are free to spend it on whatever they wish.
But the taxpayer may save it rather than spend it, which does reduce GDP. I think you're arguing more about the shittiness of GDP as a singular metric for economic health, which I totally agree with.
 
Dunno...naming it after Lt General Moore "We Were Soldiers And Young" wasn't a bad thing, hope they can find another base to name after him.
you're an old man. you don't realize to the people naming it, General Moore and George Floyd and Contrapoints are all equally valid people to name military shit after as long as it means fucking over the people "whining about history" or "confederate fanboys" such as yourself.
