2016 Elections

Fuck Hillary.

One word + one number:

October 2013!

For those of you who don't remember, that was our generation's economic equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Republicans had not only shut down the government, costing our economy some $27 billion dollars, but they threatened to willfully default on our nation's bills. This action, as a political stunt, would have caused an economic calamity that would have made 2008 look like a minor correction. 

Maybe I'm more sensitive as a businessman, but I remember biting my nails up until the 11th hour, wondering if the Republicans were really going to press the button and unleash and economic Armageddon. It would have been a disaster to say the least. Fortunately, saner heads (relatively speaking) in the GOP prevailed and they decided instead to do their jobs. 

Rand Paul was one of a few senators who were crazy enough to press the button. 

He voted to default. 

He actually voted to default. 

If he'd had his way, I don't want to even think about what kind of world we'd live in today. 

I don't care what else you have to say about him. That man proved on that day that he is unfit to run around with scissors, much less be trusted with any political power.
