“There are kindergarten classes with more realistic assessments of cost-benefit tradeoffs than the crowd watching this debate at the Wynn Las Vegas.”
Link here. The headline, noting how the Democratic Party debate revealed it to be an openly socialist party, is hardly news. The Democrats have been radically communist since 2004, when the party thought Joe Lieberman was too much a moderate for their taste. Since then, their candidates and policies have all be very hardcore left, demanding everything be controlled and run by the government.
The sad thing has been that the voting public has either been blind to this, or actually has wanted it. I don’t know which is worse.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

I watched a bit of the “debate”, as you know I have predicted that Hillary would be out by the end of the year based on the email scandal alone. After watching that collective performance I realize now that she will more than likely be the candidate for the Democrats, sans Joe Biden entering the race.
The statement that IMO would have been the breakout statement for a serious power player that would have destroyed Hillary is as follows on the economy. I thought Martin O’mally would have made the move before I saw what kind of guy he was. They seem to be there populating the stage just as a formality, even Sanders I think took a dive on confronting her, he knows what his chances are.
The general statement on the economy that would have killed Hillary’s candidacy right then an there and would have established the person that said it as a real player.
My economic plan is as follows: I encourage everyone to start a non profit organization and have foreign governments and multinational corporations pour 2 billion dollars into it because they assume that you will be the next president of the United States and direct 15 percent of those funds to the needy women and children of the world leaving 85 percent of those funds to be spent on “overhead”.

Why did no one say what has to be said? Because they fear her and the possibility that she will become the president, you know, because she is a woman. There would be no place to hide for whom ever said such a thing to her face while on that stage if indeed she does win. Lets hope whom ever faces her from the Republican party has no such fear. Good luck with that.
PS: I remember watching Jack Kemp “debating” Al Gore. I admired Jack Kemp in general but watching that debate began my education about politics. I know I saw Kemp allow Gore to win that debate, he refused to take him apart. He took a dive I believe because he understood at that time who would indeed win the presidential race. I was not happy but I learned a valuable lesson and I never saw Kemp in the same way after that and have always remembered it. The debate last night reminded me of exactly the same thing.
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress….Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.” — James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President Source: referring to a bill to subsidize cod fisherman introduced in the first year of the new Congress.
“A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy…” Unknown author.
Hillary was the nominee the moment she took the job of Secretary of state. It was the deal she made to back out of the race for Obama.
The only people asking for Biden are the reporters who dislike Hillary. The dem party is pushing her like shes a cheap prostitute. They want her because they know they can control her because of all of her scandals.
The democrat party pushed its token black and now they will push their token woman. Then its right back to the old white plantation masters again. Look at what was on the stage with her. Old white men. No minorities of any kind to take the spotlight and no women to steal Hillary’s ‘I’m a woman’ moment.
Ahhhh, leverage and the willingness to use it. Have we found two people with the stones to actually lead instead of second guessing themselves and fearing offending someone? Am I dreaming?
