By that principle the US also has a third, sizeable, party :D
Except in states where felons can't vote.

On another note, I think if we let a few of the Southern states secede, we probably wouldn't have to make huge entitlement cuts to the budget, not to mention health care and auto insurance would get a bit cheaper.

Not to mention how much our national academic test scores would go up.

...And the number of teeth per capita.

Well Greg, it seems that people from all 50 states have started secession petitions. Perhaps now is our time? Time to secede from them?

This is the whiniest, pissiest voter trend these days. I guess we're tired of the "impeach ____" bumper stickers and now voters have to hold public crybaby tantrums about not getting their way.

We are a nation of five-year-olds in diapers.

Well, then it gets a lot more technical. I honestly don't think I'm capable of analysing the american economy [yet].

And that was kinda my point. As a layman it will always be a normative judgment and not a positive one.

The problem is that when you put your finger on spending as the problem, it implies that the solution would be to stop spending or at least decrease it. But the american economy is very fragile at the moment and a decrease in spending could mean that the american economy would enter a new recession that would harm the american economy even more than an increase in dept. It's the same if the tax-rates are increased too much.

(Of course the solution is the golden mean where the budget is kept under control while the american economy sees a healthy growth)
Please stop talking about our goddamn economy, because you know jack squat about it. Stick to your economy in Europe, whatever that crap may be.

Even certain supposed Democrats admit that the federal deficit is out of control. You cannot solve a debt crisis with more debt. As a Keynesian, you might think that debt reduction is actually debt expansion, but printing money only creates an imaginary solution via means of credit expansion in the open market. Long term, you end up as the Weimar, Zimbabwe, whatever.

Can we please just forget about these freaks from other nations, along with the likes of Paul Krugman and the rest of the globalist fagggots? They should all just jump into a nice hot Mexican pot of "La Sopa" and shut the fuuck already.
