This might be it, we are doomed.

Well, or Ben Carson is going to do it by banning abortion, making sure everyone has more guns and ensuring Muslims don't have the rights of other American citizens.

Just imagine the debates between Carson and Clinton

OK John. Thank You for making a difference with your internet rant. If we all did that it would be a better place.

No prob Chris, glad to help and continue to beat the drum on one of the biggest things that affect my kid and your kids that most politicians of both stripes quickly change the subject or ignore hoping all will go away.

But for some of the reputedly "smarter" ones for whom the end of capitalism is the goal, the elimination of currency, necessitated by massively inflated and unpayable debt, could possibly be a way to bloodlessly (or "reasonably" so) impose a socialist type of world government. In the complex and highly populated market of today in which barter is not feasible, the elimination of personally accumulated currency as both a medium of exchange and as well the means of building wealth in order to acquire more wealth, would only leave some government invented and controlled medium as the way to exchange labor, or even existence, for goods and necessities.

I sarcastically proposed such a system in a previous thread in which a government issued "insurance" card could be used to "buy" anything the market offered. The government would set the requirements needed to get the card. In such a way the entire market would be government controlled, and everybody would have the equal economic outcome that Socialists want.

When you look out a few orders of affect, what else can it be? And by accident or by design?

I saw something interesting lately and had to chuckle, how many more Democrats choose government as the career path.

I did too, until he said that he would not have invaded Afghanistan after 9/11. Iraq if fair territrory to debate, I can't believe any sane person would object to our invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11. I was very saddened by his statement there. Other than that,. I think he's fantastic.

Even I agree with the invasion; not with the 10 year drag out... but the initial move, and original mission 100%...

Other than that, we don't agree on that statement!
