Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, and Newt Gingrich.
I’ve noticed they are the candidates that are jumping and talking around the question rather than answering. Mitt actually always talks about how great America is and how it’s just the best. Is this how he will win votes?
Probably.
Santorum and Huntsman Debate Foreign Policy
Just different shades of blood red.
Mitt Gets Laughs...
Mitt Gets Votes.
Ron Paul stated his belief bluntly on Earmarks. ....
There goes some of his Tea Party vote. At least temporarily.

Seeing Many Posts in Disgust at Libertarians
And the libertarian ideology. Misrepresenting Hayek and his views and saying we supposedly only have stocked-answers and operate with a “hive mind.” I’m feeling, for one of the first times on Tumblr, to curse these people out. That kind of mentality truly is repulsive; and it’s not just about libertarianism, it’s about all ideologies. I don’t understand it.
I...

deltaomega-deactivated20120803 asked: $1.8trillion dollars in 1980 would be worth $3.26 trillion today... Obama also has to deal with EXTREMELY bad financial decisions made by Bush also, so instead of doing the Obama hate thing everyone's loving currently, you might want to reassess your stance

just a question: is this using nominal or real dollars?
I do believe nominal. Treasurydirect.gov doesn’t offer a note anywhere. However, even if one were to measure it in terms of debt-to-GDP (where nominal values are at least consistent with each other), it’s still pretty bad.

The saddest part of my day is when Megyn Kelly...
The video on this page always made me not like her. I can’t stand hypocrisy.
I hate how she got really vehemently opposed to the idea of taking away her maternity leave. But before that she was all for cutting these programs.
See the problem?

Taxation is not thievery
christiankeyes:
When something is stolen from you, you never get it back. That’s theft. Someone takes your iPod out of your car one night and you never see it again. You iPod was stolen and you are a victim of petty thievery.
When you are taxed, money is forcefully taken from you. This much is true. But you do get it back. You get it back through public roads and services and what have you. You...

Also, the initial “fuck you” was entirely out of line and (I am parroting myself now) makes only enemies instead of friends/sympathizers. Cut it out. You’re doing not a single bit of good with that.
Jesus christ, cut that white knight shit out.
There is no “white knight shit”. I just acknowledge that there is legitimacy in every view point;...

anticapitalist:
Fuck you. No. That’s not how it works.
When the state provides services, it’s giving back what it stole from the people. If it exists, and oppresses us, it should at least provide something back.
This is sound logic. I agree with this.
The anarchists I see here on tumblr should consistently follow their own logic. I see them constantly telling libertarians that we should...

Wait, you’re saying Rothbard created Austrian economics? Only Rothbard? He’s the only one who matters? Just Rothbard alone?
Wow…
That’s beyond stupid.

Hardly! Austrian economics is only a methodology, not some kind of libertarian economic view. It just so happens that the methodological...

Cut defense spending by the end of his term compared to Carter. Federal spending was 22.9 percent of gross domestic product in fiscal 1981, increased somewhat during the middle years of his administration, and declined to 22.1 percent of GDP in fiscal 1989.
Instructed the Fed. Reagan endorsed the reduction in money growth initiated by the Federal...

I don’t see the point in auditing the Fed.
One of the main functions of the Fed is that it gives loans to banks in order to ease their liquidity. The audit of the Fed would simply show that the Fed gives loans to banks, which is its job. No one should be outraged that the Fed gave loans to banks, unless they don’t know the function of the Fed is to provide loans. The...

The American families need this payroll tax cut. Republicans using it to play party-politics simply aren’t acting in the nation’s best interests.
