Hillary's thesis was pretty interesting. Second rate and uncritical in substance but you can see the pattern in her thinking.

I wonder what Obama's collegiate record would show. It's a bit unfair to laude his law review and hide the rest.





One has to admit, what a stunning political play it was to put Obama into power.  Sheer fucking genius.  Hide everything so he can't be attacked.  and anyone who dares attack him gets branded racist. 

If I applied for a job at a company and claimed X credentials, and the employer looked them up and couldn't find them--I'd be fired. 

But this guy got away with it--with the help of the media, and lots of subterfuge.  Sickening.

By the way, I find it interesting that one of the most liberal of law professors at Harvard says that Ted Cruz is perhaps one of the most brilliant persons he ever had in a class. 

http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/09/dershowitz-tex-cruz-one-of-harvard-laws-smartest-students/




I don't think Ted Cruz is stupid. He's been playing Trumps game, in a way, for a long time. I don't think Ben Carson is stupid either, even though he says the earth is 6,000 years old, etc... they're both lying fucking con artists playing dumb to win over Republicans. There's no way a guy as educated as Ben Carson actually believes the0at creationist garbage.

Couldn't find it. They reorganized the filing cabinet a couple months ago, and as it wasn't business related, there's no telling what happened to it. Its probably in the garbage. But in typical government worshiper fashion, I'm sure that link to their official site was phony too. Right? I bet that was a fake site, huh? How do you think I was able to find it so easily? Cause I knew the exact verbage to type into google, from the freakin letter.

But what was it you said? Oh yeah. "Its ok cuz they can um, just um, dump more moneyz into it!!11!!1"

Yeah. You can go home now.

The problem is that you lied about the letter... that's the only reason we're still talking about SSI. It says a lot about your character, bruh.

You just sitting there saying I'm lying won't ever change what actually happened. I did receive such a letter, and you're a moron ballsauce if you don't see any correlation between what I said, and that link. Them basically begging the politicians to fix that train wreck. Essentially asking for government to solve the problem that it created, as usual. Go back and reread. And this time, take your rose covered government worshiper glasses off.

But let me guess. They can pour more money into it, or its ok cause it wasn't the fault of the program. It was cause they took money out of it that they weren't supposed to.

hahaha

First you lied about some fucking letter, unless you're the only one the Federal Government deems worthy of being privy to such information lmao! Now you're going around calling people 'moron'. Just shut the fuck up dude.

At least ballsalsa backs up everything he says with a mound of credible source links... probably more than anyone else here, except maybe Falcon.

What does it say about the republican base that its contenders for the nomination have to play dumb to garner support?

Are these really the people who have the answers?

I didn't lie about shit, you just think I did. I mean don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less. Just sayin'. As for backing stuff up with links, I guess you don't take the official .gov website seriously. They must be joking, right? Again, take off the rose colored government worshiper glasses. Your god is false. Those glasses would need to be working overtime on that one though, I imagine you must be seeing some really weird redacted, blacked out boxes over most of what was on that page. There really isn't any denying what it says. But I'm sure you'll try.

You'd be a lot better off tying to argue that it would have been sustainable if your beloved D's hadn't dipped their corrupt little fingers into the fund, in order to pay for other stupid shit.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

:shrug: I like to think that anyone can be persuaded by a combination of facts and conscience. it's probably not true, but i like to pretend that it is.  Plus, its fun for me.  The research aspect is actually the best part, because it helps me learn cool stuff. I can read reasonably fast, so that helps i guess.

If I'm arguing with zappa or enlil or anybody I've seen make a concerted effort to make an informed opinion backed up with sources, I gladly return the favor.

But that hasn't been the case with our recent plague. I'll sit down and play chess with a person if they're willing to try even if they're not good. But I'm not gonna take my strategy seriously if they're licking their pieces and blowing snot bubbles.

You people really are blind. I would go into a whole slew of fitting insults, but what would be the point? You clearly love SS, and think its all good. The man who runs the show over there could tell you its fucked, and you'd just see his lips moving, but hear no sound. That must be an odd experience. The 'money grows on trees' attitude at its finest. From the link, its the THIRD FUCKING SENTENCE. I may be wasting my time here, as you may just see the key parts as a blur on your screen.

"Social Security’s Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund now faces an urgent threat of reserve depletion, requiring prompt corrective action by lawmakers if sudden reductions or interruptions in benefit payments are to be avoided."

So there's disability taken care of. Now lets move along to SS itself, you blind ass no reading bats:

Fourth fucking sentence:

"Beyond DI, Social Security as a whole as well as Medicare cannot sustain projected long-run program costs under currently scheduled financing. Lawmakers should take action sooner rather than later to address these structural shortfalls, so that the uncertainty now facing disability beneficiaries will not eventually be experienced by other programs’ participants, and so that a broader range of solutions can be considered and more time will be available to phase in changes while giving the public adequate time to prepare. Earlier action will also help elected officials minimize adverse impacts on vulnerable populations, including lower-income workers and people already dependent on program benefits.Beyond DI, Social Security as a whole as well as Medicare cannot sustain projected long-run program costs under currently scheduled financing.

Earlier action will also help elected officials minimize adverse impacts on vulnerable populations, including lower-income workers and people already dependent on program benefits. 

Where in the flying fist fuck do you think I got this idea?? I just took a shit and when I went to flush the toilet, I noticed that my shit just so happened to arrange itself in such a way as to spell this out? It was in the FUCKING LETTER.

I guess I was right all along, I really don't have any business arguing with you. You people really do believe your utopia can exist, and you simply will not hear otherwise.
