Outsourcing the American dream for nightmare

I have been trying to figure out a way to outsource our American railroads. I suppose that we could hire the Irish or Chinese to run them (considering that's who built them), but I can't figure out how to physically move the tracks and rolling stock offshore. Any ideas?

You don't think that the US is actually going to pay off this debt do you? When the annaual debt service payments get to be too high (in a few years when the Social Security fund cash flow turns negative), the Congress will vote to repudiate the debt, pure and simple. We will leave the foreign suckers holding the bag full of worthless IOUs.

I'll gladly trade you one bushel of wheat for your computer and your TV. Oh, whats that, you would rather have the computer and the TV? I thought you said wheat was more important.

You really are a lousy analogist. A computer and a tv are made up of hundreds of components and comparing that to a bushel of wheat shows just how lacking in comparative skills you are.

More super-capitalist drivel from someone who thinks that tvs and computers are more important than wheat.

LOL. If wheat was more important than a TV, then why doesn't it cost more? The fact that the TV is made up of multiple components is irrelevent, because you said that wheat was more important than a TV(which includes all of those componenets). So, since you think wheat is more important than a TV, why won't you trade me your TV for a bushel of wheat? Clearly, you think the TV is more important.

First, I can tell that your comprehension skills are limited because I did not say the wheat was more important. Unless of course, you are trying to eat either one.

Second, why limit it to a bushel? You once again are not able to draw a true comparison exposing yourself as disingenous.

Lastly, I suppose a super-capitalist will think he can actually feed his children with a computer instead of a bushel or more of wheat, since it is more valuable.

[Rodney King]

I did not say the wheat was more important.

Yes, you did. There is no point in talking with you further since all you do is insult people.

Why would you suppose that? Why does one need to think that one can feed a TV to a child because it is more valuable than a bushel of wheat?

Once again, I will gladly trade you a bushel of wheat for your TV. Since the wheat is more valuable, you should be happy to take it.

[raybbr]

Yes, you did.

Show me where I said wheat was more important than computers an tvs.

[Rodney King]

"More super-capitalist drivel from someone who thinks that tvs and computers are more important than wheat."

Any reasonable person would take that as an assertion that you think wheat is more imporant than TV's.

Now, once again, please explain why you won't trade me your TV for a bushel of wheat since to claim that a TV is more valuable than wheat is in your words "drivel".

Could they be equally important? Or are trinkets like computers more important than food?

Wheat, as a commodity, is far more important than tvs and computers will ever be. Wheat feeds people.

Why you insist on a bushel is fatuous. Let's make it a truckload or two?

OK, Good. I have you thinking the right way now... to say that wheat is more important than TV's, or that TV's are more important than wheat is totally meaningless without considering the price that they are going for in the market.
