Rand v establishment GOP on debt.



"its often asked.. the question is asked: Are the people who spend your money.. are the people in government inherently stupid? Its kind of a debatable question"

I work for the federal government and I have never seen so much waste.

That last bit about the Pentagon and private contractors is the part that bothers me most. You have bureaucrats that are supposed to represent the best interests of the people, instead these scumbags basically get lobbied by special interest, that make money hand over fist at the expense of the tax payer.

There needs to come a time for the Lockheed Martin, the Boeing, and many many others to be held accountable.

Politics has become just a game of refusing and attacking everything the opponents suggest, regardless of its actual merit, and accepting it when its one's own party.

We're seeing it now with the wildly socialistic things Trump has already begun doing, and in his plans to drastically ramp up infrastructure spending, things that the GOP would've laughed at if e.g. Obama were to try.

Trump offered a firm advantages in order to keep 1,000 jobs in the US, directly thwarting competition, and he's being lauded by the right while Obama was crucified for doing the same to Detroit car manufacturers.

In certain instances his effect will be even more liberal than Clinton would've been because of this advantage he has of not being immediately dismissed because of his political party.

Tracking down a private citizen for the two minutes hate and trying to berate him on a sidewalk while he flees because he was mean to someone on an airplane? I was honestly hoping for much more.

this show airs on HBO later this month but the entire season can be watched elsewhere, because it aired during the fall in the UK/Italy

finished it myself, highly recommend.

Giving someone a taste of their own medicine versus targeting family members of someone you have a political grudge against.
