OKay, here's some facts. Welfare and healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP INCREASED under margaret thatcher. Education and Defense spending fell as a percentage of GDP. GDP grew faster under thatcher than before her. Government spending as a whole didn't decline until the later...
"The Thatchers Britain comment had me on the floor.
Good stuff."
Really? I like how the really crazy ideologues seem to live in their own little universe where something can be amazingly hilarious for some incomprehensible reason.
"The Thatcher comment was hilarious."
How so? It was basically the equivalent of "I hate Republicans. Republicans are so stupid. I hate Republicans." Not "hilarious" in the traditional sense. I'm not a worshipper of Thatcher, but she did a lot of things that made sense. Only lefty twats...
Oh, har har. I looked it up and Cleveland was counted twice. I couldn't think of any other tidbit of information less important, though.
THe whole commonwealth vs State thing is pure semantics, though. Their is nothing more annoying than people who believe that they are intelligent for...

After hearing crap about america from the age of 16, I'm just tired of it. It's never clever or new. Europeans love beating us over the head about the healthcare thing, because it is the one way in...
Hmmm, Greek debt is now junk bond status, and the Greeks who have been sucking the welfare state dry (they get to retire at the age of 50!) protest ANY fiscal disciplinary measures with outright violence which has led to the DEATHS of real people, and nobody seems to say anything about it. A...
More tragic-manicheanism at work. Basically, some Americans are so stuck on their pity pot, because the world doesn't work exactly the way their agenda wishes it would, that they act as if they are engulfed in the forces of evil as the last bastion of intelligence and purity. This country...
How so? I'm not getting how fucking hilarious this was supposed to be. Americans are that resistant to free healthcare? Too bad there is actually no such thing as "free" healthcare, somebody has to pay for it. Europeans are dumb as shit. This whole belief that Americans (actually citizens...
