** 24-Jul-2019 Liberals and cutting the deficit
I don't know why you're shouting at me. You just quoted me as
saying that the belief that cutting taxes reduces the deficit
is delusional. So I agreed with you.
Also, I'm not a conservative. I'm hated and despised equally by both
liberals and conservatives, and I get insulted by both sides.
Examples of some of the names that conservatives have called me are
"libtard," "scumbag globalist," and "liberal Trojan horse sent to
destroy conservativism from within." As I said, both liberals and
conservatives are totally delusional -- they just have different
delusions.
Generational Dynamics is completely non-political and non-ideological.
It reaches conclusions by applying MIT's System Dynamics to population
flows, and incorporates historical analysis, chaos theory, complexity
theory, and technological forecasting. I've now developed a huge
body of knowledge, with generational analyses of hundreds of countries
and eras, a body of knowledge which is unmatched anywhere.
We're headed for a world war with the other side led by China. So
that would be one reason, in God's name, why we need spending on the
military.
You make the standard leftist claim that cutting the military budget
would cut the deficit.
Even a leftist can understand that the deficit would not be cut. If
the military budget were cut, then Democrats and the left would
immediately demand that all that money go into buying votes for
Democrats .... errr ... I mean spending on social programs, social
workers, Planned Parenthood, labor unions, and so forth.
In fact, cutting the military budget would actually increase the
deficit. The reason is that Democrats and the left would demand to
spend the available money on new entitlements. Those entitlements
would grow exponentially, cause the deficit to grow exponentially. So
cutting the military budget would only increase the deficit -- and
also would lead to Chinese victory.
I would say that I hope that the first Chinese nuclear missile strikes
whatever town you live in, since you deserve it, but actually what I
really hope is that it will strike where I live, and hopefully kill me
quickly and painlessly.
