Check this out: The Queen Elizabeth class supercarriers[7] (formerly the CV Future or CVF project) are a two-ship class of aircraft carrier being built for the Royal Navy. HMS Queen Elizabeth is expected to enter service in 2020 and HMS Prince of Wales is expected to initially be kept in a state of "extended readiness" after completion.[1] HMS Queen Elizabeth will be built to a CATOBAR configuration. The construction of HMS Prince of Wales was assured by the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review, although its role in the immediate aftermath of its commission remains uncertain. The vessels will displace about 65,600 tonnes (full load), be 284 metres (932 ft) long and capable of carrying up to 40 aircraft. Quote:And for someone who thinks the Libertarians are a problem because they want to cut all your handouts you've got a starkly contradictory complaint here when they're trying to avert a currency collapse. Bullshit. They want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor and middle classes while enriching their cocksucking pals even further. You have no chance of convincing me that these arrogant motherfuckers have any redeeming social quality, Void. We've had 30 years of HELP THE RICH BULLSHIT and we are going down the crapper because of it....not because of fucking food stamps.
You've had 30 years of Keynesian fueled corporatism, that's miles from Libertarianism, but you refuse to see the difference no matter how often it's pointed out to you, but there is a difference and it's a fucking massive one.
If we stopped taxing the working class to subsidies and bail out corporations we would be off to a flying start, that's something we both agree on. Nobody does that in the name of Libertarianism, it's a contradictory position, they do however in the name of Keynesianism, Corporatism and Socialism. Put me in charge of a nation and that is the very first thing I'd do away with, If a business can't compete it goes under. You think that policy favors the Rich? Fuck no. And it's perhaps the single most common Libertarian position.

There is no difference. You're kidding yourself if you think there is.
Want to balance the budget and save the currency from collapse? Slash the defense budget by a third, end corporate welfare and unfair trade practices and raise taxes on the rich motherfuckers who are running us into the ground. I will expect you to line up all your tea bagging support for those proposals within the next week. ( I won't be holding my breath. ) |
