And when Wal-Mart owns a controlling interest in the government?

Do as Walmart does.

Who needs to pay for national security when you can sit a half-conscious 80 year old woman at the border with a sharpie and a price scanner?

Walmart has $4 prescriptions, so that takes care of health care.

I don't see a downside.

oojay, people already get a say in how the government is run. It's called voting. I fail to see how allowing a few people to have massive sway over the government would be a good thing, especially when that'd mean non-citizens and foreign governments would be able to vote.

Anyways, look at how the market is responding to the American national debt; interest on bonds remain insanely low. This is a good barometer, people.

Yeah, it's like Canada is the USAs #1 source of oil (thanks, tar sands!), which causes this thing called a "trade deficit" to be created, hence.....

I find it funny that gas is more expensive here than it is in the US, even though we have bigger oil reserves.

Ketchup chips are disgusting. My brother likes them for some reason.

I think they're quite good.

I think it's a guy thing. A married couple I'm friends with went up to Manitoba last month to visit the in-laws and the husband got hooked on ketchup flavoured chips, but his wife couldn't stand them. I was pretty ecstatic when he brought a bag back, we polished off that motherfucker in no time at all. Of course that's a pretty big generalization, but in my experience only guys will eat the ketchup chips, unless pot is involved.

Oh yeah that's another good thing about Canada, good pot.

101 Albums That May Not Change Your Life, But I Really Like And You Might Too

I've seen a lot of news about the US Goverment being bankrupt. As the US is the largest economy, that will affect the whole world and if nations can't get their loans back, that would mean the US and their wars have been financed by other nations. I hope people will take a moment to reflect on why this has happened. Clearly, the US has not been run in a way which is economically sustainable and hopefully, the american people use their votes to change the situation.

^ The problem is, neither party got the balls to raise the taxes, and that is the only thing that can save them. So yeah, we're pretty ****ed.

Apple doesn't have nuclear warheads, so if it went in debt, it'd actually have to pay it back. Theoretically, the government can spend as much as it wants without going out of business, making it the wealthiest organization in the world.

Politicians can just say 'sorry everyone is starving, we'll try next time... Well, works done, I'm going to drive back to my three story home to get a blowjob from a $500 hooker."
