    Can government create jobs?

    Not only do you have some reading comprehension issues here, but you're focusing on minutiae and ignoring the main points.. It also seems that you don't really understand what the basic economic concept of demand is. What is your point, man?

    Republicans Costing Jobs Already: 300 Lost Due to Scott Walker Election

    There was no market demand for this train. This was just a project for the administration to throw stimulus money for political capital. Stimulus money is subsidization. Name one self-sustaining government program.

    Can government create jobs?

    What's your point? If the state pays you $200 a day to dig holes in your back yard and fill them back up again you're "working for the money", but it's still welfare. Nobody in the market would pay you for that particular service. This is a straw man. Show me where I claimed something as...

    Republicans Costing Jobs Already: 300 Lost Due to Scott Walker Election

    The very fact that government subsidization was necessary to undertake this project tells you that capital and resources were being diverted away from where they were needed in the economy and squandered on something the market deemed unnecessary. This is basically throwing wealth down the...

    Can government create jobs?

    A government-created job is simply another conduit for wealth transfer, an expansion of the welfare state. Purchasing labor for which there is no demand is indistinguishable in practice to buying up crops for which there is no demand. These are subsidies that squander resources (which are of...

    (NSFW) Woman Utters Line Never Previously Recorded In A Police Report

    We as a society suffer a great cost when such vaginal odor is rampant in the streets. Surely there must be some government program we're currently paying for that distributes free crotch perfume to the great unwashed.

    MSNBC's O'Donnell admits he's a Socialist

    The argument over which stealth strategy was better suited to enable them to shove their oppressive ideology down the throats of the American citizenry was okay, but I would have been more interested in hearing them discuss specific issues they disagreed on.

    Genetic Politics

    If you understood some of the biology behind this, you might not be so definitively dismissive. The particular gene involved here encodes for one of the dopamine receptors, which are signal transducing proteins that reside on the membranes of neuronal dendrites in the brain. Dopamine is a...

    A Liberal's Constructive Criticism for Libertarians

    The truth value of your opinion is irrelevant. The salient point is that this was a massive regulatory action--one that was anticipated by actors in the market, influencing their decision-making.

    A Liberal's Constructive Criticism for Libertarians

    That Congress socialized these losses demonstrates ipso facto that the industry was not truly deregulated.

    Speed Camera also checks your seatbelt, insurance & can call the police

    Looks as though all that taxpayer-funded university research is really paying off for the state. Now they can steal money with improved speed and efficiency. Although, what's this calling the police crap? Why not just equip the robot with it's own machine gun to threaten the citizens...
