Federal deficit grows by 32% to $900B

I didn't know until after I read your article. And, apparently you acted in bad faith because you didn't realize total SNAP spending had increased 330% since 2000.

Fucking moron, this whole discussion has been about how you're misrepresenting that figure.

So of course I acknowledged it. We're debating the merits of that very argument right now.

What a fucking fraud.
 
If total spending increased and individual benefits decreased, more money must be going to Dept. of Agriculture bureaucracy, which is good reason to cut total spending.

Sigh...

Now you're trying to jury-rig your argument post-hoc to save face on an anonymous message board.

Fact is benefits have been cut for SNAP recipients. You're trying to pretend they haven't because the volume of SNAP recipients has increased since 2000. So you're only telling half the story. Which is why your argument is bad faith.
 
Fucking moron, this whole discussion has been about how you're misrepresenting that figure.

What a fucking fraud.


btw I'm doing much better than you are

I also don't do all-nighters here posting horseshit, get some rest knucklehead
 
By "you assholes" I assume you keep assuming I am a Republican which is not true. However, it was last raised under Bush and not raised under Obama although he had a Democratic House for two years and a Democratic Senate for six.

Last raised under Bush when? Oh right, in 2007. And who controlled Congress and the Senate in 2007? Oh right, Democrats.
 
You were deceptive and misleading by stating "you assholes refused to raise the minimum wage" because "you assholes" also refused to raise it.

The Democrats were the ones who raised it in 2007. Then they tried to raise it again in 2011, but Conservatives obstructed.

So you're lying. Why?
 
I made no conclusion. I simply stated a fact---total SNAP spending increased at a rapid pace since 2008 and was not cut which you refused to acknowledge.

I didn't refuse to acknowledge it. I answered it directly by pointing out that benefits have been cut.

That's what this whole fucking discussion is about; how you acted in bad faith by presenting only half the story in order to push a false narrative.

What a fraud.

Time to delete that account and create a new one.
 
You stated individual benefits were cut which I acknowledged.

1. You didn't know those benefits had been cut.

2. It was in response to your bad faith argument about SNAP spending increasing.

So I totally acknowledged that the SNAP budget is higher than before, and my response to that was to point out that while the program is larger, individual benefits are less. You didn't realize that was the case. You dumbly thought that because SNAP grew, that meant that the amount beneficiaries got from SNAP also grew. That was the argument you were starting to make. But then when it was pointed out to you that individual benefits have declined, you started this bizarre defense that I didn't acknowledge the SNAP budget was larger, even though that's what prompted me to link to the proof showing benefits had been cut.

So you fucking lied by telling a half-truth, then you lied again about my response to your half-truth.

Anyone can look at this thread and see for themselves what a fucking fraud you are.
 
This is a compositional error (at least not involving people as the class this time). You are making vague and generalized arguments and applying them across entire classes improperly. It is the same kind of error that causes bigotry (when you involve people as the class

Stop being such a whiner. You obviously created this account in the last couple days because you had squandered all your credibility with whatever account you had before. Eventually, you're going to slip up and reveal who you are pretending not to be, you'll fall back into the same habits, and everyone will have a big laugh about it.
 
The entire EPA is discretionary spending. So is the entire NEA, CPSC, most of the FAA, most of NASA, most of the FCC, and the elimination of other entire departments. These departments should eliminated entirely. The Federal government has no authority to implement them, and such things are better handled by the States themselves. These parts of government should eliminated. I realize it won't happen of course.

So more of your bullshit "I hate government, just look at me, I hate them, look! LOOK HOW HARD I'M POSTURING!"

Yeah, we get it...you read Ayn Rand at age 13 and have been in a state of arrested development ever since.
 
Government doesn't produce anything. Spending by something that doesn't produce wealth does not increase wealth. It wastes it.

You have a very juvenile understanding of the world. That's likely because you're in a state of arrested development, and have been ever since you read Atlas Shrugged when you were 13.


No, all you contract is that part of the economy that is not producing wealth for the people.

So when government buys raw materials or supplies, or when it contracts out, they're not buying it from companies that produce it, or contracting work out to private sector companies? So from where are they buying that stuff and to whom are they giving contracts? Narnia and magic elves? All government spending happens in the same economy as consumer spending. It's all part of the same economy. The cashier at Best Buy doesn't give a shit from where your dollar comes. All they care about is that you have a dollar.


Cell phones didn't happen because the government bought them. Neither did the personal computer. Neither did website construction (the Federal government STILL has trouble with that one!). Neither did the automobile. Neither did slide rule, horse breeding, house construction, TV sets and flat screen displays, paper making, etc. ALL of these happened because of consumer demand for the products and by the innovation of many talented people that didn't work for the government.

Most of that stuff was developed by the US government and then was commercialized later on.
 
The point of America is not taxes.

LOL!

The point of America is TAXATION WITH REPRESENTATION.

That's why they dumped tea in Boston Harbor. They literally said "No taxation without representation".

I don't think you're an American. I think you just created this profile because someone has sussed your previous profile out. So you had to do a new profile because you had squandered all your credibility. This is you trying to hit the "reset" button, isn't it?
 
Why? That doesn't raise the price of gasoline

Yes it does you fucking moron.

Global demand is the entire reason they wanted to build the KXL pipeline. Even TransCanada said in their permit application that they want it so they can sell the oil for a higher price on the global markets than to the US PADD II region, which is where it currently goes and is oversupplied, leading to price discounting.

Why do you think you can fake your way through this discussion?
 
WRONG. They are taxed to drill, to pay their workers, to use the land, to pump out the oil, to transport it to the refineries, to refine it, to store the finished product, to transport it to the distributors, to add the chemistry for that area, to transport it to the gasoline station, to pump it into the ground, again when you pump it out of the ground, and again when you buy and license your car.

No they're not. You're making this shit up.

Oil: A big investment with big tax breaks

No, they wouldn't, because they aren't as big as you think they are. Most tax credits and subsidies pay for researching more efficient uses of oil products, and finding a greater variety of oil products, such as plastics.

Wrong and lies, of course.

When it comes to tax-advantaged investments for wealthy or sophisticated investors, one commodity continues to stand alone above all others: oil. With the U.S. government's backing, domestic energy production has created a litany of tax incentives for both investors and small producers, and oil is no exception

So you have a habit of coming on the boards and running your fat mouth. You lie, make shit up, don't support your argument with links or cited sources, and you create new profiles because you squandered all your credibility on the last profile by doing exactly what you're doing here; lying and making shit up.
