Our business. Without our consumer demands, as weak as that is in time of recession, more than half of them would have nothing to produce, therefore no jobs...

Holy crap - I don't care what party you are, how can you justify this "logic"? "Benefit" is a pay out - as in the money coming out. The money coming out has to come from somewhere - aka the money coming in. She's saying that you can have infinite dispensing from finite cashflow in. Not only does this goes against the core logic of actuarial science, it's like saying you can continuously pour increasingly more water out of a bucket without putting increasingly more water into it. This is just like Social Security. There's plenty of water in the bucket for the first generation and maybe your kids. After that, good luck.

Hey Nancy....how's that philosophy of infinite payouts from finite supply been working for your home state's budget?

If you take literally everything that politicians say you have to brace yourself for surprises and outlandish activities, such as putting bread on your children, etc. They're bound to stick their foot in their mouth provided open mic time, some more, others less. In the end, it's the end result that matters.

No, I'm not trying to defend pelosi, it's just how it goes...

"Events can change; this man's beliefs never will. He believes the same thing Wednesday as he did Monday. No matter what happened Tuesday."

Steven Colbert on W Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

I'm seeing a pattern here....

So it sounds like we're all in agreement that there's just not enough evidence to assert that the eminent domain rumor holds any water.

Now that we're all in agreement on that, we can move on...


Oh but we've established that long ago, J S, it's just that not everyone was capable to accept that...

Wow, do we agree here or what? Facts vs fiction... So, what theory do we discuss next?

As it should have, for a moronic conspiracy theory. But hey... nevermind!


Just because someone doesn't know about something does not mean it isn't true. I hear things, I see things and I investigate them and let other people know what I have seen and heard. They are welcome to dismiss it or do the same as I have and take the time took into it. The people who have done nothing but dismiss whatever is happening with our government and our society because they are too lazy to think will sit back like brainless sheep and be led to slaughter. Those are the morons.


Karen, hate to break the news to you but after today's events you're not on a very strong footing here when it comes to credibility, so don't go around calling people morons... not the best idea. Before you jump at me, I called the theory moronic but left people alone.

And now let's drop it, enough fun for one day, save some for tomorrow.

P.S. It's one thing to have an inquisitive mind and explore alternatives based on logical, verifiable information, and a whole different thing to cling desperately to a conspiracy theory even after it was proven false, just because it happens to support one's outlandish political agenda.

Just a tiny little difference in the 2 approaches, not to be confused.

Oh, and calling those that dare to not share the same views "morons" doesn't bring in any extra points.
