Welp, shit just got real. Debt ceiling talks went nowhere today and the markets fuct

Hey Kurt how's it going?

The problem I have with this line of thought is that it doesn't help anyone get anywhere.

Does pointing to a short bus and calling the passengers retarRAB actually serve a purpose?
 
Right, bond prices would drop causing interest rates to rise.

I still wouldn't expect THAT LARGE of a move. A 10yr yield at 4-5% would be a given. Don't anticipate hysteria.
 
Well, I don't exactly want heroin addicts buying their drug from the local 7 eleven. Nor do I want my neigrabroador using PCP.

Bah, it is just my opinion because I have seen so many people destroyed by the actions of drugs and NOT because they were illegal or got caught, etc...

Marijuana I don't care about. Other more powerful and dangerous drugs have the potential to addict and destroy many lives.
 
Everyone has their own opinions about things.


Personally I think the entire system is fucked. Our government/economy is controlled in a way to make the most money for companies and rich folk, with zero accountability for its actions.

Want stable control over oil fielRAB? Start a war that justifies us going to sandy land. Government money - > strongarm negotiations

Want to make tons of companies rich off the US government checkbook? Destroy another country and send our companies over to fix it. Government money -> private businesses.


Know marijuana and other recreational products dont harm people...pay drug enforcement tons of money to keep individual 'competitors' out of the market for pharm/Alcohol/Tobacco. Government money -> protect existing products




Simply put, once a company gets big enough to influence the right politicians they can use the government to do things they are not allowed to do. If I make cigarettes, I have no interest in seeing marijuana legalized. I will lobby money to the right government officials to have them arrest growers, keep pot illegal, allow me to continue selling my known harmful product.


The whole system is fucked. Its gonna be a cut and run for corporations, the rich, and politicians. There is no quick fix, everything is going to get fucked. I hope that something finally snaps this idiotic mass of gen-pop into a retaliation.
 
I will always maintain that it was the intention of the founding fathers for the brightest and most benevolent merabers of society to rule with objectivity in the best interest of the population.
 
The only reason they still get tax cuts is because the politicians are too afraid to cut them. I'll never understand how churches can still get tax exemptions when they are ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING in politics
 
Those reasons are bullshit, I'm sorry but it's true, read up on it. I agree PCP can be a terrible drug, that's why I would never do it. But not because it's illegal. But you can't just ban things you think are "scary," it's the same reason I disagree with many liberals when they advocate banning guns. They don't read statistics or talk to people, they just know AK's are scary so they want them banned.

And I'm sorry but the statement "the amount of havoc legalizing would cause is just horrendous" is not something I think is true. Again, do you have any data or information to support this assertion?
