hey blue.
Or are u suggesting i fell for the whole reps/dems game. the entitlements vs defense thing? Like the two parties arguing who gets to spend thing? the its right when i do it but wrong when u do. That whole party vibe?
Let me break down the thought process for you.
First of all seeing the graph showing spending increases from two parties drew a lot of suspicion. First of all how is the measurement done to measure both party votes. Simple majority, 2/3s... how is exactly is data quantified. Votes have to be across parties, and how about policies in place that span time iinto different party majority intervals. Who is credited with things of that nature. and further more what purpose does it serve to be quantified by party and not in how money is spent. the purpose of it seems to obviously be to sway party sides. Easy enough but than thought fuck it lets generalize and go with it. So taking the graph at face value i asked myself exactly what kind of expenditures lead to such a high republican increase. And expenditures assumign and not loss revenue hypotheticals. So decided to check defense vs entitlements. Found that graph showing national defense vs entitlements. Interesting i would have thought defense to be higher. Pretty much where i stopped since that growth seemed insane compared to the out of control war effort spending. Looked like numero uno problem to be fixed.So if that clears up how i thought about it and i still got trapped in something let me know. I do admit, i did only a few queries and have no idea how to even check the numbers on the graph i showed. One of the biggest reasons i hate graphs and statistics. I think theyre simply controlled markets to produce the numbers that serve the creators intentions the best. And few creators motives are based on truth.
And as far as constitution stuff goes u got me there i'll have to take your word for it. Not to versed in that stuff. I dont get to caught up in the rigamaroll of law. to quote aristotle "I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law." thats basically the way i function, just reason shit out and constantly check and test myself.
AND YES FUCK THE NEW DEAL. All that new deal stuff was offer stuff and ignored the parts about at the expense of whom. Highly unconstitutional in spirit. However i dont think obama is giving in. I think his healthcare will need the excess funds. the guys smart enough to know how to sell but not smart enough to know what it is hes selling or its effects, besides a note in a history book of good deeds and selfish valiantry trying to help the the smallest of the small fry. (ignoring the question of why they couldnt help themselves and at whos cost did he HELP them). but there my rant for the night
- and is it "help them" if they "hurt these other guys". shits laways a balance but they only see what they want********
