    Kucinich on Cavuto Advocating for 3 Trillion Dollars for National Public Works Initiative

    I'm witnessing borderline insanity right now on FNC. 3 trillion is more money than the U.S. government takes in each year. Dennis has his priorities screwed up something awful. That's not to say that we don't need better infrastructure maintenance and repair, but what he wants is lunacy.

    That's why I laugh and facepalm when I see Ron Paul supporters who support Dennis Kucinich.

    He's not a bad guy, but he certainly has some strange viewpoints.

    contrast this with part of Rand Paul's convention speech, paraphrased, "building roads doesn't result in a growing economy, it's the other way around"

    He's more principled that 95% of congress, but that doesn't mean his principles are right.
    No more IRS.
    I am now old enough to vote.

    Dennis is kind of like the blind squirrel. Every now and then he takes a correct stance on an issue (such as ending the overseas wars) but invariably for the wrong reasons.
    "Sorry, fellows, the rebellion is off. We couldn't get a rebellion permit."

    Dennis grew up in abject poverty as a child so his perspective is certainly skewed.

    wants to turn swords into plowshares. He's sticking his finger in the dike. Well intentioned, but skewed. I like Dennis regardless. Feisty little bastard.

    There is nothing wrong with throwing someone a little support when they're in the right. Kucinich is pretty good on civil liberties/war issues, he's just totally lost of fiscal/economic policy. You can agree with him wholeheartedly when he's right, I don't expect any RP supports to agree with his economic policies, though.

    Dennis is a well-meaning socialist. They problem is in that in a socialist system, it's hard to keep out the not-so-well-meaning socialists.

    Denny is crazier than hell , how much of the three trillion does he plan on covering ? This is the same dumbass that wanted the cafeteria to pay for his dental work..... Common Socialist, at the very best.

    Same could be said for the capitalist system... Romney?

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    Socialism is a type of pgvernment. The problem with capitalism only occurs when the government gets in bed with the capitalists.

    Billy Corgan said that he went to a couple of high profile political events and this was the general belief shared by his fellow celebrities. Viciously steamrolling over individuals is for the benefit of us all. They really believe this.

    And control freaks. Neo-socialism is essentially raw power. You notice that it doesn't confine itself to a couple sectors but nearly every facet of human life. Dietary, ecological, labor related, financial, etc. There is no stone left untouched.

    Sounds like Kucinich has been listening to Mitt Romney.

    Kucinich is a Left wing nut freak when it comes to economics. These Socialists keep over promising with new spending programs that claim will solve our economic problems. They say, "If we just steal from this group for this govt program will solve..." The sad part is, the new spending that goes into effect never works. If it did, why keep proposing similar $#@! over and over and over. Heck, we have spent $16 trillion since LBJ to fight the war on poverty yet the poverty rate is exactly the same - during LBJ it was 14%, today 14.3% - after spending all that money.

    If the Left had any common sense, all one has to do is look at European countries who advocate massive govt spending programs and higher taxation on the rich to know it just does not work long term. They all have massive debt loads and high unemployment. The free market is more powerful than any govt or politician. You can only prop up your artificial growth with higher taxes and borrowed money before the free market spits you out. That's what is occurring over in places like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, etc.
    If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.

    We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.

    I don't think that's it.

    I think it's more like, no matter how much we already spend on wars, police state, and welfare, he wants to spend 3 trillion more on pretty much anything, as long as it gets spent.

    Where do you suppose they would be able to get that much money? The country is broke as a joke.

    Dig holes, fill them back in. All of the stimulus money on infrastructure that I have seen in my area consists of tearing up perfectly good streets, sidewalks, parks, park bathrooms, etc, and then rebuilding them.

    It doesn't take the government alone to institute a game of Monopoly. Capitalists, through their own willful deception or greed, can privatize the attributes of socialism just as well as whatever system of government could otherwise corporatize them.
