American Interventionists Hurt the Cause of Freedom in Venezuela: https://mises.org/wire/american-interventionists-hurt-cause-freedom-venezuela

The United States of America is not the world's cop.

 

And if we ever want to be trusted in Latin America ever again, we need to stay away from Venezuela.

Gotcha. It was an observation about the power of leadership 🙂

Any economic system run by a bus driver will eventually fail.

People in Las Vegas earn their money; those in the insurance industry do not.

So currently the only source of income for these health care companies is Medicare and Medicaid?

And Mr. Sanders seems to be pretty clear that he wants to effectively wipe out an entire facet of the insurance industry.  FTA:

 

 

I’m more than ok with seeing places like Carmel lose jobs.

My family doctor hasn't taken new Medicare/Medicaid patients in years, there must be a reason.

Cute anecdote, but it’s just that. That would also put a time limit on your time with him, also.

Would say a 4A school that only has 22-25 players on the varsity squad, with 5-6 of them playing both on offense and defense, be considered "decent numbers"?

 

It's sufficient to field a team.

I would happily pay my "fair share" for private, free market road access.  Especially here in Frankfort where the city streets are falling apart while the Mayor and City Council spend millions of taxpayers dollars on a new park,  new pool,  and probably a new police station.

What is the highest income tax rate you are freely willing to pay, foxbat? 

Have you ever heard of Marcus Licinius Crassus?

An interesting idea brought forward by Mr. Nino.

 

Here’s another one, since secession is apparently on the table: divide up the USA between Canada and Mexico.

Not that it matters and honestly have come to expect it from you both, but Dante and Gonzo, why the disdain votes for my post of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun?  Love to hear the logic....

Because it wasn’t fitting with a science post. It’s a break-up song.

?  How does the Michigan State Government fundamentally differ from other state governments?  From what I read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Michigan  it doesn't look to be that different from surrounding states.

And therein lies the problem.

Just now, Muda69 said:

Define "degenerate" as used in your context.  Not liberal enough for you?

 

Not accountable enough. Governments are built on majority rule; Michigan is not.

Why yes, NightHawk.  Unlimited property tax increases are always the answer.  

Or maybe fixing Michigan’s degenerate government would be a better solution.

Good luck getting that through a Democratic House.
