i agree with council, and would add that this is an abuse of power. he has no mandate to tax people and send it out of the city as a political gimmick. that $300,000 could and should certainly go to helping the disadvantaged in sarnia.

j reacts to misplaced confidence in hillary clinton's reasoning skills
but, i mean, remember....
hillary is always wrong about everything.
if you think you've got the best idea, and you're right, she'll probably do something else. and, if she picks x over y, it's probably the wrong choice.
what i'm getting at - and this is important - is that if you want to understand what she's going to do, you need to throw any kind of concept of optimization under the bus. she's never going to do the thing that makes the most sense or is most likely to succeed - we have decades of public records that indicates she never does, so why do you think she will now, all of a sudden? no. rather, you need to try and get into her head, which means making a number of substitutions. one example....
instead of thinking about what is best for the country, or the planet, or whatever other collective concept of things, you need to always analyze decisions in terms of what is best for hillary's career. the importance of self-interest is truly paramount. i think this is where she loses a lot of leftists in not understanding her. like, consider iraq, for example. it was obviously the wrong choice in just about every context - except the context of her own career advancement. which, it turns out, she was wrong about. but, to understand why she made the choice, you need to look at questions of self-promotion - and not at what the iaea said, or what the united nations voted for.
so, i mean, it's not like i'm denying some logic in picking warren. it could even be the right choice. but, if it is, you can be sure she won't make it.
rather, you should expect that the choice that she does make will backfire in some way.

j reacts to donald trump perpetuating the republican talking points on government debt
so, you're making the standard right-wing error of confusing personal debt with government debt. do you see what's happening, here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f00njIl9iAM
ok. i read the article, and it points out that the united states cannot actually default, unless it does so on purpose - which is a correction of the error that the right-wing demagogues were pushing through as political theatre in the fiscal cliff non-issue.
but, it doesn't change the fact that this is something that trump can't actually do. his claim that he can default on sovereign debt is about as ridiculous as promising a peace dividend of unicorns.
the correct conclusion from yglesias is that what it exposes is total ignorance. you, on the other hand, are just parroting the same, stupid right-wing scare-mongering you hear from the right on a fairly regular basis.

j reacts to elizabeth warren sounding like a moderate republican
see, here's the actual truth: it was exceedingly confusing as to why anybody ever really interpreted warren as a leftist in the first place. she doesn't even seem to be a keynesian, she's more of a literal classical liberal. at least bernie is mostly pushing a new deal type of framework. warren is all teddy roosevelt. and, there's simply nothing leftist about this - it's really just a type of moderate conservatism.
that said, even if she's pushing for it, i don't think that hillary will pick her, but not for the reasons being bandied about. i think hillary is likely to view warren as a liability - she's too easy a target by the demagogues on the right, who will cast her as some kind of communist - while she's quoting adam smith. and, frankly, if you interpret the world through the kind of warped filters that hillary and her handlers interpret the world through? it's a correct perception. i mean, if you thought the smear on obama as a commie was rough....
hillary might be the only mainstream sort-of-liberal democrat that they can't do that to, because everybody knows she's an opportunist. this is beyond cynical. but it's the way these people think. you can't frame her...
i know it's going to be extremely deflating when she picks some right-leaning democrat, or possibly even a "left-leaning" republican. but, you're getting her logic all backwards, and twisting around what's likely to actually happen.
her ideal is not elizabeth warren, but condoleeza rice. and i think she'd actually jump through some hoops to get it accomplished, if she can.

i didn't know this, but it sure makes a lot of sense.

shit hillary said vol 55
I've looked at the legislation that Senator Sanders has proposed. And basically, he does eliminate the Affordable Care Act, eliminates private insurance, eliminates Medicare, eliminates Medicaid, Tricare, children's health insurance program. Puts it all together in a big program which he then hands over to the states to administer.
And I have to tell you, I would not want, if I lived in Iowa, Terry Branstad administering my healthcare. I-- I think-- I think as Democrats, we ought to proudly support the Affordable Care Act, improve it, and make it the model that we know it can be--
BERNIE SANDERS: We don't-- we don't eliminate Medicare. We expand Medicare to all people. And we will not, under this proposal, have a situation that we have right now with the Affordable Care Act. We've got states like South Carolina and many other Republican states that because of their right-wing political ideology are denying millions of people the expansion of Medicaid that we passed in the Affordable Care Act. Ultimately, we have got to say as a nation, Secretary Clinton, is healthcare a right of all people or is it not? I--
