  • @NoMoreBlatherDotCom Is it really relevant how useful the study was? We are spending 200 BILLION dollars more than we make every single month. EVERY SINGLE MONTH. Fiscal cons are trying to save us from a financial collapse that could leave us with mass starvation and war. It has to end, the party is over. Government must be cut WAAAY back. We shouldn't be arguing about 2% cuts over the next 10 years. We need to be talking about 30% cuts over the next 6 months, and that's just getting started.

  • Yep, and the solution is Ron Paul in 2012. Unfortunately, not enough people will vote for him because he'll take away all their goodies we get from the government. We elect another Republican spender in the next election and the United States will collapse. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Something to ponder upon in the next election when you keep voting for the Same old Republicans and Democrats.

  • @CaptHandsome42 Yeah. You are about the 10th Paultard to point that out. "CaptHandsome" <----?

  • @KingDingaLing090 With a name like yours, I'd think YOU'RE the 12 year old. I'm not decided on Ron Paul yet, but the rest of the stuff I agree with.

  • If people are worried about the fiscal situation that our country is in then why are they throwing bitch fits about scientific studies? Science can help progress our efficiency for fiscal responsibility more than any other of the programs our government throws money into.If we want to cut down our debt, a better place to start slashing spending than scientific funding would be the funding of our global military empire. 800+ overseas military bases are not cheap to staff, maintain and facilitate.

  • Sometimes, ya just gotta laugh...

  • @Sounds4theInfowar Shut the fuck up you stupid little bitch. Are you 12 or what?

  • ‎"i wish we could do something about it" ... if only there was a candidate who has been consistent on this issue for over 30 years ... hmmm

  • Why interviewer isn't that hottie from the first video?!

  • first off, I highly doubt it was worth 10 mill or half that, if you could even measure it. Second, it's not the end amount, but the net worth efficiency and the opportunity costs involved. What would it be worth on a collective if that 500k was kept in the individual taxpayer's pockets? And was 500k really needed for a study like that?

    I'd trust a "fiscal con" over some asshole lib any day. In case you didn't notice, spending too little is so far from being a problem as to be an impossibility
