Thread: When It Comes To Spending, Rand Paul Is a RINO

    The only difference between these two sides is skin deep. Yeah, certain folks like us that have skin in the game on a particular issue might choose one over the other...otherwise, with very few exceptions, they are all slimy creatures of the same ilk.
    Hear Here! I think there's a secret prerequisite test involved, with a couple of outliers given waivers and allowed in - just to throw us off.

    It is the purpose of the Democrat Party at this point in history to establish a socialist revolution. It is the purpose of the Republican Party to pretend that they oppose this. All else is theatre.

    I think of this all the time. If there is an economic collapse it could come to this damned near immediately.

    Now every thinking person is aware of why the government wants us all disarmed.

    There's an old saying "If the bank loans you $10k, they own you. If the bank loans you $10M, you own the bank."
    As long as we have nukes and the baddest military on the planet, our debt doesn't matter because nobody can "collect" without mutually assured destruction (either militarily, economically or both).
    Every major economy in the world depends on maintaining the status quo, even if a superpower "defaults" on their debt it'll never be known outside of a few people.

    You don't even need a military for MAD, just sell them your mortgage debt.
