Best Run States Are Republican Controlled

[1989]

and what qualifies them as experts?

There have been endless dire predictions which have all failed in that they predicted far worse than reality.

Remember, people predicted the end of the world would be December 2012. The end of the Mayan calendar.

people also predict things and are right...like the US housing bubble. and they made a movie about it.

hopefully theyll make a movie about these guys, even though they didnt profit off of their dire predictions.

 

[1989]

its non linear so it will happen very suddenly.

some islands in the world are already dealing with it

So It's only happening to a few select islands so far?

Maybe the world ended and everyone missed it?

Anyone can make predictions. Doesn't mean they will be accurate. The only way to judge them is looking back on them after time has passed.

Those islands are actually sinking. Not sea level rising.

Thank god, cuz I was about to pack my bags and get the hell off my island.

 

[1989]

Sometimes if I squint I can look over at Vancouver island and it looks like it's sinking.

that might explain you being more interested in coops than some of these other goofs on the forum; washington is more progressive than alot of other american states

"I can see Russia from my house."

Are you planning on moving there?

it is ending for many species including our own.

yea and you might want to listen to people who were right on the predictions they already made.

was obama a corporate president?
was the iraq invasion a waste?
was there a housing bubble?
did the war on terror increase or decrease terrorism?

ralph nader has predicted so much and has been right that he named one of his book "I TOLD YOU SO"

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

its not its the most recent data. several meter sea rise in 50 to 150 years.

I don't need to look it up. History has already proven you wrong.

Bull crap... We have plus tides and minus tides all the time...I haven't seen any change in 35-40 years. Marinas are not scrambling to raise their bulkheads and extending their pilings.

Remember, people predicted the end of the world would be December 2012. The end of the Mayan calendar.

See Ricky?
This is what you get when you make up crazy numbers to get attention.
Stop repeating what these people say.... it plays into the denier argument.

 

[The Other Side]

The problem isn't that they cut taxes.

The problem is you can't get the Democrats in the legislatures to cut spending.

Then those same Democrats cry that the governor is creating deficits.

In other words, Democrats suck.

The "PROBLEM" is that people like you dont understand what fiscal responsibility means.

If you CUT taxes, you REDUCE revenue. NEVER in history, has cutting taxes of the rich INCREASED revenue in the economy. Republicans always run on a platform of cutting taxes and increasing revenue by stimulating the economy with trickle down economics.

Unfortunately, its NEVER worked.

In Kansas, the governor cut taxes and wiped out not only his economy, but his infrastructure as well. He has to borrow from highway funds just to keep the government running and he also has to DIVERT billions out of state pensions to pay for HIS SHORTFALLS.

Thats pension money that will never be recovered, much like Reagan did to social security.

Its amazing how people like you "THINK" you know how things work.

TOS.

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

You liberals are simply retarded. Here we have a thread about a study that simply shows that Republican run states are more fiscally sound and you pecker heads are tossing "climate change" into the discussion?!?! LOL.

Why don't you people just realize that being liberal with money is a bad thing? I'll try you why. You can't because your emotions get in the way of any chance at using logic and common sense.

TOS.

Cutting taxes works when done in conjunction with cutting spending and phasing out bloated government programs that aren't needed. But you people think that we "need" big government and are too stupid to realize that there aren't enough rich people (or workers for that matter) to fund all of your gravy train handouts and unproductive government jobs.

You people are like a disease that some sick and twisted mad scientist from a foreign government designed to infect this country and destroy it from within. And that very well could be the case. Circa the Soviets/Rusians and/or Chinese.

 

[newfie]

this will be the americans fleeing coastal cities after the sea level rises 9 feet by 2050 because we denied climate change which again is because of capitalism.

good to know , I'll buy some beach front property a little further inland.

 

[newfie]

its not its the most recent data. several meter sea rise in 50 to 150 years.

but yet that did not occur the last 50 to 150 years, nor did the world come to an end as predicted by January of 2016. Could you do us a favor and deliver on just one of your climate change (formally called warming until the earth started cooling off) predictions.

If only there was a political party in this country that actually believed what you're selling.

You'll "try us why "? How much murica have you had to drink tonight?

Since when did FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY have anything to do with how much money you bring in?

It means not spending MORE THAN YOU HAVE.
