NASA?


And many people choose to be born into poverty with never a chance to succeed.


> The question is, do you think US Government on all levels is efficient enough to be trusted with even more jobs/resources to manage? And if it's not, what the people of us should actually do to make it happen?

Instead we're ruled by large, monopolistic corporations that have so much power they can avoid paying taxes, pay off almost any politician and basically set any policy that they want. I'll never understand why people are fine with our current system.

But there ARE actions taken to prevent accidents. Anti-texting campaigns, DUI enforcement, street planning efforts, safer cars, signage and reflective material on roads. These things have undoubtedly saved some lives.

But when it comes to guns we just throw up ours hands and say whaddya gonna do.


There are actions taken to prevent mass shootings. Background checks, mandatory waiting periods, gun free zones, banning certain guns.

Stop acting like there are no laws about guns, as that's ridiculous.

SALT deduction is a regressive deduction that benefits the wealthy much more.


Boomers may feel some pain though when Medicare and social security are cut next. All signs point to the GOP suddenly crying about the deficit now.


Were very much due for a bubble burst anyway. I think tax cuts for the rich will only drive into the frenzy.


Right, so then the austerity kicks in. On some level the GOP knows this.


Because somehow it always comes back to this
