Yup, being virtuous must mean you’re a socialist. It’s just lazy.
Well, it should be "more socialist than giving farmers..." but I regress. There is a big difference between social programs and the entire governing system being socialist. Specifically, there are several commodities that had wild swings for several years and they had an adverse affect on the economy. Such as food, oil and gas. The attempt is to avoid the peaks and valleys and maintain a steady supply for the consumer without boom and bust which is hard to do. Perhaps you are old enough to recall, I was living in Grand Island when they came out with the Pic Certificates for farmers. Essentially the farmer agreed not to plant corn in exchange for these certificates. Farmers had no input costs and many didn't plant and I recall, although all of this is a bit foggy from old age, that was a wet spring and summer and very little irrigation was used. I just remember many stories of farmers taking off on vacations they never had during that time of year. That is just one example.
Yep let one of these Liberal fks switch lives with anyone of our Foreign visitors here for the World Cup for 6 months. Then come back and see what America is like now.
Amen! People visiting here seemed so impressed and fell in love with America.
And ranch dressing...so many people had it for the first time!
June-September is my least favorite time in South Carolina and makes me extremely grateful for air conditioning.
I remember a few years ago when we were lucky enough to have the Government tell us we could celebrate the 4th of July.
