"weird how we can give trillions to corporations and the military"
First off, you dont even know what you are talking about. the military budget is about 700 billion a year, we spend more than 3 times that on welfare, social programs, and education...
and second, no one voted to give these people "trillions" of dollars
"but not domestic policies that actually help people."
we spend PLENTY of money on those. the problem is the solution isnt money...
"you also dont want to take the time to reform those problems."
Cool, find ways to combat welfare fraud, find ways to unfck teachers unions, find ways to stop letting government control ruin the education curriculum.. None of those solutions is more money but actually solving a problem...
"when has congress ever accomplished anything useful?"
When they give corporations billions of dollars, offshore manufacturing, and invite millions of people in to destroy the labor market, while artificially dumbing down future Americans with the public education system they do alot of useful things, just not for the people they are supposed to work for... just themselves and their financial backers.
"most americans support universal healthcare, free college, higher minimum wage"
yes, when asked, people LOVE free stuff
"1 in 5 people in prison are incarcerated for nonviolent drug crimes."
Yeah im sure it was JUST a non violent drug crime, and repeated offences were totally taken into account, or relation to previous violent felonies
"decriminalizing/legalizing drugs is free and would reduce police/prison costs."
Wont hear me debating how terrible the " war on drugs" has been... its about as wonderful as " the war on poverty"
"sure because if people live in poor neighborhoods thats obviously where they want to be and arent just stuck there,"
Yeah this happens all across teh country, and there are far more poor whites than the other way around. and please feel free to pretend in group preference doesnt happen and people dont like to be around people similar to them.. except everyone wants to live near white people, thast why everywhere they are they are becoming a minority
"pull yourself up by the bootstraps is not a valid argument."
"everything is racism" isnt a fcking valid argument either but you keep using it

"the pentagon has been audited twice and it has failed twice"
Yes, because the people in charge are the ones who are the crooks, of course leaving them to investigate themselves is farcical...
"we have trillions in debt because we have been at war since WWII."
Eh pretty sure we have poured just as many billions in foreign aid as the MIC. in addition to being less than what "we" give " domestic" corporations stateside, again we arent in control of the government or the banking institutions...
"the difference is we should spend trillions on healthcare, education, welfare and social programs."
We already do,
Medicare 1.1 trillion,
SS, unemployment and labor 1.3 trillion Education 89 billion
military 640 billion
2,480 billion
vs
military 640 billion
not to mention the billions we give away in foreign aid
but creating a prosperous nation is more complicated than cutting spending and telling everyone to get a job.
Hard to create a prosperous nation when your government has allied with internationalists to implement a global economy and ship all your manufacturing jobs over seas, ship your call centers over seas, ship your claims departments overseas, all the while importing millions and millions if immigrants, AND importing endless numbers of visas to import more labor into a country that you just gutted for jobs! amazing
No one asked for any of this, but the solution isnt more money
"the trillion dollar infrastructure plan would create millions of jobs and repair our crumbling infrastructure. to make money you have to spend money. "
Look, thats in theory true, and im not against infrastructure spending, but its going to go into pockets to lobbyists, politicians, and the work crews who are in league with them, it will be over time over budget and under quality.
absolutely get money out of politics. end lobbying and repeal citizens united. dont hear many republicans advocating for that.
and you wont hear them decrying AIPAC for similar reasons...
"banning offshoring of jobs would take more government intervention not less"
How do you figure? the reasons they leave is mostly because of reductions of tariffs and the myth of free trade in a world where countries dont all have the same rules and environmental regulations..
"do not use immigrants as a scapegoat for your countries failed policies"
It isnt a scapegoat, immigrants are being used as pawns to cause economic disruption in a nation, dont play dumb.
"free* stuff seems to work for europe"
Yeah maybe it h as something to do with the US doing all the international spending on defense, as well as UN funding, or maybe has something to do with medical advancements, and the fact that other countries can have cheap generic drugs, or that even the European healthcare systems still have huge massive problems, but because " its free" it does better at polling. Nor does any of this even touch on the issues that the US government has caused to the healthcare industry, did you know that healthcare used to be really cheap in the US? then the government " fixed" it
"dont like free stuff? get rid of police, firefighters, medicare/medicaid, roads, public schools, etc. seems to be a whole lot of socialism in america already, would more be all that bad?"
Its almost like some social programs and spending is needed, but free everything for everyone is excessive and not fiscally possible...
whites are becoming a minority, aka, there goes the neighborhood."
Yeah its crazy imagine what the entire world will look like if its only indians africians and chinese its going to be ruthless
everything in america is racist. everything in america has racist origins. america was built on racism.
Maybe thats because EVERY nation is built on " racism"
or are you gonna argue that other peoples didnt do the exact things " Americans" did and worse throughout history...

"and yet the military budget goes up every year while we cut domestic spending."
Uhh EVERY bit of spending goes up regardless of whatever cuts are made...
The citizens are not in control of their governments
"if people didnt vote against their own self interests we would have representatives who, you know, represent us. we could be on the same level as all other western nations."
This is laughable on the face value that you think voting matters... if it mattered they wouldnt let us do it. Are you honestly going to pretend that any nations population is truly in control of theri government?
"Billions in foreign aid is pennies compared to the weapons of war budget."
Its literally not, mostly because alot of that foreign aid goes through the MIC
again the citizens are not in control of their governments
"We have so much military equipment we are giving it to our police."
Id rather they just hold civilian auctions for this stuff instead of using federal funds to play kickbacks with stuff all over corrupt governments and departments all over..
again, the citizens are not in control of their governments
" 'foreign aid' is different than humanitarian aid. selling weapons to isreal and saudi arabia shouldnt count as 'aid'."
Oy vey cant criticize our greatest ally, thats antisemetic (AICIP didnt like that)
"healthcare in america costs so much because we have a capitalistic society."
Has literally NOTHING to do with teh problem and illustrates how little you grasp the level of destruction uncontrollable governments caused..
"global trade is essential and beneficial to all nations"
Sure, but not when it negatively affects some countries over others...
"however it is not the US government shipping jobs overseas, it is 'american' businesses looking to save a buck"
weird how the same class of people who run the government and the same class who run the " americian" businesses that go overs sears are all the same group of people. funny that, its almost like lobbying, and regulatory and licensing commissions are detrimental to the job market... its almost like governments create barriers of entry so no one else gets into the big club.
"weird how we allow american businesses to ship jobs overseas and evade taxes but still consider them "american businesses"
weird how the same class of people who run the government and the same class who run the " americian" businesses that go overs sears are all the same group of people. funny that, its almost like lobbying, and regulatory and licensing commissions are detrimental to the job market... its almost like governments create barriers of entry so no one else gets into the big club.
"we can force american companies to pay minimum wage, not use child labor, and follow safety/sanitation requirements but we cant force them to not outsource labor? "
of course not, because the same group of people YOU complain about are the same ones you think are going to fix it.....
"companies send jobs overseas to get around things like minimum wage. regulation is the only way we prevent jobs from being offshored."
Yeah that worked out so well for the last 40 years didnt it...
"the only other way we compete with the global labor market is to deregulate our workforce. think of all the jobs we could bring back if only we could treat american workers like they do in china"
Or, we stop buying terrible goods, and stop letting the governmetn decide what swhat. THEY caused this very problem. Now china is outsourcing their own garbage.
If the governments job was to protect americian jobs, they sure havent been doing a very good job with it.
"immigrants are not the reason your country sucks."
Its almost as if you can have more than one issue at a time
"if the government cant provide a comfortable life for people it is not the 'those peoples' fault."
wtf does this even mean?
"so stop spending so much on military and prioritize things like healthcare and education"
jesus christ its like you dont listen when spoken to... the reason its so expense in the US is directly caused by government involvement.
the PEOPLE are not in control of their governments... pretending throwing more money at a problem is going to fix it without addressing the core problem is a waste of time money and resources ...
"healthcare costs in european countries are a fraction of what it costs in america because they regulate what healthcare companies and insurance can/cant do."
The US government does the same thing... its not the regulation its the government. pretending that European healthcare is so amazing is avoiding the funding, staffing, and quality problems i has, while also ignoring the fact that much of medical research and discoveries for decades have been from US medicine. not to mention most of those countries dont have to spend much of anything internationally...
"it is still far better than the american system."
is that why the americian journal of medicine lists teh top 10 medical tourism couontries and not a single one of them is european?(Top 10 Destinations for
medical Tourism
Costa Rica
India
Malaysia
Mexico
Singapore
South Korea
Taiwan
Thailand
Turkey
United States
"but because medicare/medicaid isnt for everyone we have to waste time and money figuring out who qualifies. whats the point of having a government program if you cant keep people out of it."
This is the same governmetn who cant tell you how many illegals are inside teh country, or where 20 trillion dollars went in sept of 2001. this is the same government you want to have more control over our daily lives
americans have over one trillion dollars of medical debt and student loan debt. think how beneficial to the economy it would be if people werent burdened with debt.
Think of how beneficial it would be if government didnt destroy currency by enslaving us all into debt slavery or destroy the cheap medical industry the US USED to have... Nack when lodge practices were a thing, you could pay for years health coverage (without the need for government, or insurance agencies) for a days wages...then the government fixes it
" just seems like you want to keep america and 'white' countries as pure* as possible."
Sure, unless you dont think white people deserve to exist in the lands they built, and instead ascribe to a " global citizen" level of understanding and think that anyone can move anywhere, and everything will be dandy
"all countries have history of racism and discrimination but america prides itself on its racist past."
No it doesnt and thats just dishonest
"we celebrate the individual/peoples who overcame oppression but never really look into that oppression. why are there statues of robert e lee and not hitler? germany is ashamed of its past america is not."
Why do statues of lenin and marx exist? like, theres a statue of lenen in seattle, and germany puts up a Marx statue like nothing happened... they are just as oppressive... the fact that you think " having statues" = " celebrating oppression" then i cant help you and ive wasted my time

"nations are economic zone Stupid! "
No they arent.. maybe learn what you are talking about before opening your mouth
1300, nacioun, "a race of people, large group of people with common ancestry and language," from Old French nacion "birth, rank; descendants, relatives; country, homeland" (12c.) and directly from Latin nationem (nominative natio) "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe," literally "that which has been born," from natus, past participle of nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci), from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to procreation and familial and tribal groups
The word is used in English in a broad sense, "a race of people an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family and speaking the same language," and also in the narrower sense, "a political society composed of a government and subjects or citizens and constituting a political unit; an organized community inhabiting a defined territory within which its sovereignty is exercised"
"Why do you think all countries measure their wealth thru GDP."
Because they all have central banks and are controlled by the banking cabal
why do you even think GDP is a good tool in the first place?

"no! I'm just pointing out you dishonesty. That's all."
the only one here who has been dishonest is you
"so if white people from Dagestan who are predominantly Muslim came to america by the millions you would not have a problem with that?
No i would still have a problem with that.
If it was millions of germans whitest of white, i would STILL have a problem with that. if it were millions of italians, french, dutch, or irish, i would STILL HAVE A PROBLEM.. Even me saying i would only want immigration from italy, france, or germany, i would still be against the sheer numbers.... its like you arent grasping the overall problem, and focusing on trying for gotchas
"I asked you how do you measure a good economy from a bad one without using the data from GDP?"
And i suggested measuring poverty when i replied ( and answered)
"GDP is a meaningless number if vast swaths of working people are living near the poverty line but huge corporations and international businesses make record profits, that means the " gdp" shows this is a " good " econom"
If you have record numbers of people barely making ends meet, and global multinationals making record profits, the " gdp" says the economy is " good"... This is how i argued that even if the " economy" is doing well, the people of the nation are not, therefore, the economy isnt a good tool to measure how a nation actually is...

"how will those nations be destroyed if their people decide to migrate to the USA?"
If a nations people are no longer there, it ceases to be a nation. If all the germans left germany for the US, then india moved in to germany, germany is no longer germany, its india 2
"Millions of mexicans have been coming back to their homelands over many decades and Mexico still exist."
Yeah because they do the very thing you both said you were doing, but then backtracked... they work in optehr nations, soak up resources, then leave and have all the benefits in your home country
"Yes I would welcome them because I ain't a bigoted bastard like you."
of courerse you would let them in because this isnt your nation lol this is exactly what nim talking about. Poeple come in, then get to decide if more people come in regardless if the original group says no...
"I'm ok with people having other cultures and traditions from My own and I don't expect them to assimilate to mine way of life."
Without assimilation you have balkanization and strife causing tons of issues....... but please go on illustrating my point without realizing it
" If Irish, Germans, and french want to come over I would welcome them."
good for you, would you welcome millions a year for every year for 60 years?
"there you go being a filthy weasel"
You not liking the answer i give doesnt make me a weasel you dishonest hack
"If GDP is not a good measure of an nations economy then explain to me how does the economy of Venezuela compare to the American economy?"
WHAT THE FCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS DISCUSSION
why are you ignoring my answer like it doesnt mean anything
you keep talkign about how " the economy" and measuring the " economy" as some sort of useful data point on the health of a nation, but im talking about the nation itself and the people. youre are a globalists and have zero care for anything other than your own profit.
"I did not asked about income inequality."
I KNOW that, you asked "what is a good way to measure the economy if not GDP" and i keep telling you that its pointless to talk about because a healthy economy is meaningless if the vast majority of the nation is suffering.. but again you dont actually care about people..
"How would you compare the economy of Venezuela to that of America? Would you say they got the same GDP?"
This is a pointless exercise in your ability to obfuscate the topic
