Trump wants to cut his way to prosperity -- by sending Science to the middle ages

is research/science worth it or not?

 

Trump is cutting everything except national security and infrastructure. That's a good thing.

 

Purge the useless government agencies, yes.

 

I haven't heard Trump speak of reducing taxes for the rich. I think you guys have just repeated that line so much that you actually believe it. I have heard him say he wants to remove a lot of deductions while reducing the overall rate, but this just removes the competitive advantage and social engineering that Democrats put in the tax code.

 

Anti-education? I can do without the HEW/ED who took us from an education powerhouse to middle of the pack in roughly 60 years.

 

You would be fearful a lot less if you actually understood the facts you need to do your homework

 

You need to check your fax just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it doesn't exist

 

Do you truly believe that this is a cogent argument?

Might I remind you that you lost. Yes, let that idea slip into your cranium for a bit... You lost! You not only lost, but you lost magnificently!!!!

So now, again, I will ask...

Do you think this is a cogent argument? I promise you that it isn't, so you have one of two choices. You can either continue to make absolutely no sense, or you can try to convince those of us who won that you might have a point.

I don't think you can do it, honestly, but I am willing to point out the reality of your dire situation.

 

I think when you make assumptions like this you do yourself a disservice I didn't lose I didn't support Clinton because she was not qualified and I didn't support Trump because he's obviously not qualified. Bragging about supporting Trump in public to most people would be pretty embarrassing. Trying to demonize me by saying that I lost without having any idea at all who I voted for is really pretty grade school type post

 

Keep moving the bar. It is your only chance!

You asserted something you cannot substantiate...and you do not have the ethical wherewithal to acknowledge that you did.

No problem. I expect that you did not have it.

 

I found quotes of him saying rich would have to pay more. According to the judiciary, if Trump said it on the campaign trail, you can base a legal standing on it.

 

I don't think you understand that you're the one who is confused. You keep saying I didn't do something because you couldn't understand what was being said just like your last post. I gave you a simple explanation of the private sector's advantage, and then, you said that we weren't discussing that, we were discussing how the private sector is better.

Then, you take into account the post you made about government spending as if it didn't affect economic capital allocation. Which tells me you're confused on the macro level and from the health care thread, don't really comprehend the logistics of the administrative costs on a micro level.

 

That's a foolishly framed question, because the "worth" would depend on the specific nature of the research, wouldn't it?

 

So you don't like research then

 

You made an assertion.

I asked you to substantiate it.

You were unable to do so.

Now you are UNWILLING to acknowledge that your assertion should never have been made, because you are not able to substantiate it. The assertion, as I said about it immediately, is simply a self-serving bit of pap.

Grow up.

 

What else would you expect from the deplorables and their great orange hope?
His base is the highly uneducated and they hate the fact that educated people are much more successful than they are.

 

I provided examples that substantiated my assertion both actual and theoretical. You simply will not accept it, or you don't understand the complexity. It isn't a question of growing up. It is a question of you not understanding. You post on this board complete inaccuracies, get called on it, then refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the opposing argument. I am not sure why as I have stated above. You may just be trolling. You may just be ignorant of the subject. Either way, I will continue to point out to you the errors in your posts. In the future, I will go into more detail. Apparently, I'm going to have to go back to communications exercises such as explaining how to make a grilled cheese to an alien.

 

Good to see you haven't learned the great lesson of election 2016. Bring on 2018!

 

I thought we were talking about budget cuts for the war....

 

YOU HAVE DONE NO SUCH THING...and you are not adult or ethical enough to acknowledge that you haven't.

When a person cannot substantiate an assertion, they often do what you are doing here...pretend it has to do with an opponents ability to understand.

Save that for an amateur.

It is a question of you developing the ethical spine to acknowledge that you cannot substantiate your assertion.

You asserted that the private market can produce stuff better and cheaper than the public sphere.

I asked you to produce one example of a product that the public sector produced that the private sector also produced...and to show that the private sector produced it better and cheaper.

You failed miserably...because you have no examples. That assertion is something you smiply made up...

...and when challenged, you wanted to pretend that "everyone" knows the private sector does things better.

When you grow the gonads to acknowledge you cannot substantiate your assertion...let me know.

Until then...continue to try to make this a flaw in me....and I will continue to show you for the dissembler you are.

 

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!!!!

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

 

I am not a troll.

IF you sense one...perhaps you are that troll.

 

I already posted a link in this thread that makes your response utterly ridiculous. Educate yourself.
