So there is a debate tonight?

I still don't get it. Congress would still need to argue all day about how much is spent, right? Can't they change numbers for the programs now?
 
That lady w FBNC needs a lot of make-up to look even somewhat avg. Eeeeekkkkkk
 
Wow....they brought up zero based budgeting? I remember that from the Carter era.

Welders may make more than philosophers...but the critical thinking skills from a liberal arts education are worth more than welding skills. While I agree in making vocational ed more available, it should be noted that low level white collar jobs are viewed as better than blue collar jobs of any type, even those that pay more.

They can but they don't know how are why. They are budgeting only in the numbers without any guide of overall strategic goals. Think about how our pols budget today, they get numbers of needed to keep current govt going and vote to approve or deny the whole thing. Zero based is much more time intensive but aligns strategic goals to the budget process vs just approving a number.

I don't see how congress would be any better at a more complicated process. This hardly seems like a selling point.
 
Ok, the mods are getting overran by some of the candidates. The WSJ guy is the worst offender. Paul and Kasich trying to stand out. Trump and Bush are horrible... Bush-again. Carly can't directly answer any question.
And yeah... the female mod is bad.

It will force them to do real work and better understand the workings of our govt...or they will be replaced by better more talented people.

I have long stated that our govt would be better of being run by a bunch of accounting clerk politicians vs our current lawyers/academia/silver spoon kid politicians.
 
Poor Kasich, you can see where he is trying to go, but he just can't quite find the words.

Bureaucrats have their place. But I don't see how changing accounting is going to clear the fools out of congress.

They will have more to be held accountable to. Today there is no accountability.
 
Capital ratios have been increased on all to my knowledge, what is Jeb talking about.

I think the big banks should be broken up, i think caps should be put on hedging tools, and higher cap ratios will help.

She already got Pinocchios for that 6th fleet last time didn't she?

Everyone gets a bomb under Fiorina


She's right, we need to let some of those ppl already in the Middle East do some of the lifting. Jordan and Turkey is a good start.
 
Do you vote on each budget item individually under this plan?

I don't believe so but if we don't change how we budget we will continue to get more of the same...which isn't really working.
 
Did Rubio just state that bankers are the Monopoly man and really strut around saying 'we do what we want' and the peasants bail us out??? god that guy is awful

Still praying for Romney to save the day?
 
These guys would rather of the liquidity crisis brought us all the way down vs being where we are today. They are all talking about the wrong thing. Credit to Carson for saying he would fix the root problem before it would get to bail out status...unfortunately we are too far down the line for his fantasy world to be realistic.

Cruz sounds dumb on this bailout question. Why not say put plans in place and beef up the FDIC so they could successfully spin off a failed megabank.
 
Philosophers is the buzz word of the night. Kasich wants to send Wall Street to Sunday school. Poor guy needs some chap stick
 
These guys don't understand any of this. Holy shit it is now socialism and the ohio gov just lost his mind. I'm not sure he understands what the FDIC does w a failed bank. Unfortunately i am not sure the FDIC would know how to handle a mega bank failure.
 
Maybe Jeb would be a good VP, he seems to know a lot of stuff but he is just so bad at articulating it. Trump called it on him early, low energy, but he was being nice bc really he is low energy and awkward.
 
My god... this debate is the worst one to date, and I've watched about 90% of them all. Hillary might as well start measuring for curtains tomorrow.

If...if I had to rank them from top to bottom off tonite's performance, I'd go Paul, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, and then the other four tied for last.

The RNC absolutely has to get this down to 4 people, and fast!

BTW: Bush still sucks at debates.

Lol...a parting shot at CNBC by the FBNC crew. Gotta love that...pettiness galore!

Refreshing to actually watch a debate without some a--hole moderator asking idiotic nonsensical questions.


Marco, Carly, Ted and The Donald hit it out of the park.
