Attention Republicans: Stop being corporatists.

Attention Republicans: Stop being corporatists.

Old news, but still fail. (And for the record, the bill did just pass, despite the GOP's attempts to block it.)

Seriously, what the f***. We basically need to kill all the current Republicans and then clone Ron Paul a hundred times.

The Republican party has no identity, but is created from three VERY different sectors, which all have conflicting interests.

1. Big Business republicans (Ala Dick Cheney).
2. Religious Right republicans (Ala Mike Huckabee).
3. Libertarian republicans (Ala Ron Paul).

Most of the time, Big Business is able to convince the other two to do things that actually hurt them.

All united by their desires to have sex with little boys. Or is that the Catholic church?

Or both?

right, so no need to concern oneself, if the whole system is corrupt

Voter apathy is on to something.

Attention Republicans: Stop being corporatists. WEEEEEE!

I think the "punishment" should fit the "crime."

The fine should be equivalent to the damage created IN ADDITION to the parties responsible having to pay for the damages.

That can end up with very expensive lawyers, but that's the fairest way AND acts as a deterrent.

There should be a floor limit on the fine, of course. The limit should be $250 million, now, with yearly inflation being applied for every subsequent year. That way, the $250 million fine "stings" every bit as much, later, as it does now. (PLEASE, no one point out that the value of the dollar's purchasing power can change, almost independent of inflation, at times. It will ruin my point, damnit!)

Prove it, 'cause at this point I'm about ready to jump ship and join with a bunch of whiny, smelly, liberal hippies because the Reaganite corporatists are raping America right up the ass.

Don't blame Regan, his economic handling only got him one thing; death by old age.

The dollar's purchasing power changes often, sometimes independently of inflation. This is in addition to the fact that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar tomorrow is more valuable in five years. Any structured settlement will almost certainly factor these things into account, as this is introductory economics. The lawyers in charge will know their shit.

(Your point isn't ruined, just obvious. 😄)

Edit: s33 ma1 pun?

lol, Reagan was the worst president ever. Sure I don't like Bush, but looking long scale most dumb ideas in american voters heads have their roots in Reagan policies.

I used to think Reagan was a good president. Slowly, I'm learning about all of the shitty things that he undid or did.

I grew up, as a kid, thinking he was a good president. It's like telling me that Walter Payton was a bad running back. 🙁

He had everyone fooled, don't be hard on yourself. I mean there were Reagan democrats. He had charisma, i'll say that. So did Hitler.

Well, I think his legacy was how he won the American people over with his vocal patriotism and his war on communism. I'm rusty on my Reagan history as it's been a while, but wasn't he a big part of bringing down the iron curtain?

Well, I'll say this: he was a very shitty economics and environmental president...by far. One of the worst in history. But, imo, he had a foreign policy plan that was really good. (Debatable, I know.)

Reagan did a few key things that haters really attempt to ignore.

He brought down the Iron Curtain

And he averted international nuclear destruction.

Any day of the week, ask me if that makes you a good president despite any other short comings, and i will say yes.

I'm not a fan of his foreign policy, either. There is really no proof that Reagan "defeated' the iron curtain; it was headed for destruction based on the inherent instability of not having the support of it's citizens.

The biggest problem though, is he inspired two things that still **** stuff up today: One, the reckless spending and incredible debt that has been built up since then (he was the first president to not give a shit about the deficit). Two, the notion that the government has no place regulating businesses. Well I think the consequences of that one should be pretty obvious.
