Higgs boson found (again?)

.

Sure we can, we're just spending too much. Spending under Clinton averaged 19.6pct of GDP. Under Obama, 24.4 pct.

That the problem.

The Republicans offered (and continue to offer) to cut out deductions, and broaden the base. Paul Ryan was touting that last weekend. Obama, the ideologue, insists on higher marginal rates.

Nope. The Dems raised taxes $60B this last round, plus a bunch of taxes in Obamacare (about $100B, IIRC). The deficit's over a trillion on a cash basis. Over SEVEN trillion if you count incurred liabilities (i.e. future promises made) last year.

$160B a year? That's not even enough to pay for Obamacare, much less the new spending they still want (in their new budget).

For all their bumbling, Republicans have held federal spending roughly flat since the Tea Party elections of 2010.

With Sylvester the Sequester, they've checked spending growth again. That's good for the economy, and it's already creating optimism among business and investors--it's been the buzz of late.

If we actually balanced our books, America would soar.

That's what Obama calls a "balanced" approach. LOL

Just wait till Obama comes with up something for our 401K balances like what EU came up with Cyprus savings accounts. Out of fairness, of course.

I think Sloman's just a RAGING liberal towing the party line on emotional issues listed as eligible for "liberal brownie points".

Naw. Two problems: 1) The new bills are way too stiff and too slick after the intaglio printing process. 2) Most of the new money is virtual, unless you can use virtual paper for the task is won't work at all.

Democrats, for sure. By seeking totalitarian central control, they reject the evolution of human choices, possibility, and behavior, as well as the diversity those things depend on.

Pity about the facts. Republicans are less likey than Democrats to accept the reality of evolution. But James Arthur has a typically Republican tendency to ignore any evidence that doesn't suit his argument.

Even if it's so, what does it matter in practical terms? No human living now or in the past ever vitnessed evolution of species from one to another, so what does it matter what we believe about it? It's no different than believing in extra-terrestial beings. Some believe in their existence, some don't. Your views about it make no difference and one view does not make it superior over the other.

No, you miss the point.

Show me a Democrat these days that believes in free markets, natural selection of products, businesses, employers, etc., that they evolve into anything good, or respond to external selective pressures.

When it comes to human potential, they don't believe individuals making selections in their own interest evolves a brighter future for same, or that they can be trusted to do so. Progs disparage the idea that it does / they could as "social Darwinism" as a way of rejecting it.

So, to the extent most Democrats believe in natural selection, in everyday life they deny it, think it's bad, and want to stop it.

Economically, they place their faith in divine intervention.

Hi, I'm here!

How do you know what I believe? Just from the label "Democrat" you can infer all that?

I think I am starting to agree with something you said in an another post.

Well I don't want unbridled capitalism. (to pick a topic close to home.) I'd like to see hydro-fracturing of gas here in upstate NY. But I want some regulations, Drilling companies should carry insurance for the inevitable accident.

We need to encourage work. The place I work is in a poor part of town, (partly for tax reasons.) Going to work I drive by guys coming out of mini-marts with bottles in paper bags... It's such a waste of people! Is it wrong for me to belive that most of these people would be happier as productive parts of society?

You haven't been paying attention. Multiple drug resistant strains of tuberculosis have evolved within living memory. They may not represent a new speices, but they do represent a real nuisance.

Not exactly. Fossils exist. Extra-terrestrial beings are purely hypothetical.

A view that includes fossils is almost certainly superior to one that doesn't. The more you know about the past, the more reliably you can predict the future. those that don't know history are condemned to repeat it.

Not really. You want to carry on about what you think that Democrats ought to believe, and in the process you've ignored what they actually do believe.

I certainly believe that, and I'd probably vote Democrat if I had a vote in the US. I don't believe that it happens in every situation, and I do believe that the free market has to be regulated and adjusted so that it actually does happen most of the time.

Social Darwinists think that it happens all the time, in every situation and don't see the necessity for measures like anti-trust legislation, anti-child-labour laws and the like. This is an over- simplification.

A fatuous extrapolation.

In reality, they place their faith in interactions that you can't be bothered to comprehend. You ought to be bright enough to see the necessity for anti-trust legislation, child-labour laws and so forth, but you prefer to keep the debate confined to zippy one-liners.
