What?!?!?!...

Currently, the government takes in less than $4 trillion a year...

...and..."for the sake of rough calculations"...you want us to believe that this will increase FIVE TIMES(!!!!)...PER YEAR(!!!!!!!!!)....under a plan that kills (literally) MILLIONS of jobs?!?!!?...

Thank God I don't don't know your home address...I'd be sending the DEA over...

Hey everyone!..."for the sake of rough calculations", I played middle linebacker for the '85 Bears...

That's nothing. For the sake of rough calculations, I set up an emergency shelter on Mars five years ago.

I'm gonna start tellin' chicks I have a 12" pork sword. And when we get home and they see I'm hung like a field mouse I'm gonna tell her that was just a rough calculation.

From another thread on health insurance:



I might have gotten the excuse they would use wrong, but the bottom line is democrats want complete control over our lives and they will NOT stop until they have it. How much freedom are you willing to give up?

Let's go down the list and see.

1. Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency.

Yes. These upgrades pay for themselves over time in cost savings. Most of us have been doing this in our homes already with more efficient appliances and even changing out lightbulbs the LED instead of incandescent bulbs because LED's use about 1/10th of the energy for the same light output. Smart homeowners also review the insulation in their homes and upgrade it because it saves on heating and air conditioning costs.

2. Replace cars, truck and airplanes that rely exclusively on oil based fuels with hybrid electric cars, trucks and airplanes over time.

Yes. I was surprised to learn that hybrid electric aircraft that are more fuel efficient are actually in development right now. My career was in aerospace and I didn't know that Boeing was investing in this technology. This doesn't eliminate the use of oil as a fuel source but it does dramatically reduce the amount of oil based fuels being used.

3. Replace high carbon emission powerplants and nuclear fission powerplants with green energy power plants and nuclear fusion powerplants.

Yes. We could start by immediately banning the use of coal completely and replace it with the less pollution natural gas powerplants because we have excess natural gas. Nuclear fission powerplants can be replaced with safe nuclear fusion powerplants just as soon as commercially viable nuclear fusion is developed.

4. Create millions of family supporting-wage, union jobs.

Yes. The unions were a critical part of the US economy that created the middle class after WW II. Strong unions increase wages and benefits for the workers and if there's any single thing that would Make America Great Again it would be the return to power of the labor unions. Only jobs that receive government funding would be union jobs and I doubt there's millions of them but the "supporting-wage" requirement can apply to any job that receives government funding.

I don't see any "bad" proposals being included so I'd have to say that overall I'm supportive of the initiative. Still some work to do to achieve it, some may take decades to accomplish, and some relies on future technology but I believe in future technology.

Based upon the corruption, brutality, inhumanity, immorality, dishonesty, and incompetence of the Trump administration the White House is the dirtiest house in America and there's no known cleanser that with remove the stains of the Trump Administration.

They will not stop at their own peril. And they will lose. No SOB is going to take my freedom away.

One thing that scares me 'bout libs is they'll blindly agree with anything an insane elected lib proposes. Never will a lib follower say, "Yeah, that's just crazy and a bad idea." Libs would get behind a proposal for the military to have an army full of Bigfoots if an official proposed it. This thread is a perfect example.

As for believing in future technology, I hear there is a new research facility recently opened up on Uranus. I might be wrong, though.
