The program as intended doesn't specifically target anyone that is without cause. If it is leveraged against someone without justification then that isn't an indictment on the program but rather a corrupt official abusing his power. In which then you throw his ass in jail. You are conflating the two.

Pretty much

Are we going with the passive aggressive approach today?

Any serious-minded candidate would support the program. It may be politically popular to say otherwise, but the reality on the ground dictates it as a necessary evil.

He doesn't go after both sides equally because he's a progressive. Duhhh But he can be damn funny.

I agree with this.. There is a place for Keynesian policies, but it's certainly not the be-all and end-all solution to lagging economies. Krugman always advocates more money to solve problems, and where he consistently falls short on his policy prescriptions are the real structural issues that require structural solutions.

Aside from this poorly conducted interview by Halperin, he is one of the better informed and fair journalists that are out there. I respect the guy and whenever he has something to say, it's usually worth listening.

I think the main problem with poverty overall is mainly due to broken homes. Too many dead beat dads are skipping out on doing the right thing, which obviously creates a void in the child's life and the role models that many of these kids look up to are either losers or music/sports stars that they will most undoubtedly never become. Change the culture, if true dad's begin to step up, poverty will decrease.

Bingo! Too many what if's that no one could possibly know to make any sort of an INFORMED opinion.

Ah, so you are a communist.

I wonder if he's still butt hurt about Clay.

Ah! Well that makes a whole hell of a lot more sense. Thanks

Totally agree. I mean I know why, they didn't want to deal with the P.R mess, but geez! If he ends up being innocent and having a solid career, there will be a lot of second guessing from fans across the league.

Certainly this group out of Texas intentions are that of an inflammatory nature, but without doubt there is no reasonable justification for these religious islama nuts to attempt to shoot up people because they were offended. It's as if they were baiting them to come. Dem Boy'z in Texas don't mess a round

Makes sense!

I'm a little surprised of the pick but I can't say that I am shocked. If they indeed did have Darby as their BPA, which I gotta believe is the case and the fact that Ryan puts a heavy emphasis on DB's that can play press coverage due to the exotic and high QB pressure schemes, it would make sense. McKelvin has been a serviceable option for us, but my guess is that their designs are that Darby would step in to take the starting job opposite of Gilm. therefore allowing them to save cap space by releasing McK. next year. If you look at Darby's strengths, he fits in to what Rex is looking for. Time will tell, obviously if he ends up supplanting McK. next year and becomes the starting DB, then we are talking about this being a successful pick. I didn't say they were invalid. Re read my post again and then get back to me.

I think it's because of the all the knee-jerk reactions of people who seem to have an expert opinion on someone that they barely heard of. I find it humorous myself of all the hyperventilating that occurs each and every draft year after many of the picks. The reality is, no one really knows, Doesn't matter if you were a scout in your previous life or not. Professional scouts on the books get it wrong all the time. So when someone comes in with an opinion that they are rooster-sure of, I get a chuckle out of it myself.

I believe the point that he is making is valid.

I doubt it, she is not equipped to have an informed opinion.

Aside from the kiddy partisan jargon from the op ed author, this is what happens when you go too far to one side of the Laffer curve. If taxes get too high, tax revenues go down, if taxes are too low, revenues go down. There is a happy medium, and Kansas wasn't able to find that right balance. Also, the fact that the author states "The great Laffer curve dream" shows that she has a complete lack of understanding of what the Laffer curve represents. The Laffer curve doesn't advocate a tax rate, it simply illustrates the effects of taxation and revenues generated.

What's funny about this post is that you are one of the biggest bigots that frequents PPP.

Eek

No, you consistently criticize only one party. For someone who purports to be a "true conservative" , your actions and words don't line up. I on the other hand admit my leanings, even though I take on the party that I generally support more so than just about anyone here. In regards to possible solutions. There are no quick fixes or anything approaching that. I've made my feelings known many times on this board. Which is to protect our immediate interests, take out any immediate threats, don't get in the business of taking out leaders and nation building, support our allies who hold western democratic values, and begin planting the seeds of Democracy in the middle east. Maybe, if we're lucky in about a century or so things will normalize to the point to where we can have a dramatically different sort of landscape that isn't dominated by religious wars. And I just about always address the issues, nitwit.

Oh looky, the liberal is defending Obama's epic foreign policy failures. Not surprising.

I'd take him for a mid round pick. In a heartbeat.
