  A small part of me wants to believe that he'll push all the right political buttons just to ascend to power in the White House like his father never could, and then pull the walls down and give everyone a liberty spanking, but with all the influences Washington puts on our politicians, I know that's like asking for a miracle.  

You never know. I also wonder what they talk about in private.

Should be able to do a write in vote by then. Youll be a legal citizen of America wether you like it or not. Its called force immigration. Or the Pathway to Citizenship. Just be sure to sign up for some of our welfare and food stamps as well. Well send the check directly to your Canadian address.

The North American Union.   Just like the EU except Canada and the USA absorbs all of Mexico and Latin America. ... South America.

Lets add it to the agenda. It would be more cost effective then a trade agreement with the Eurozone and Russia/Japan.

The Reality is the United States is in for a big surprise. Capitalism is about to crumble so all you USA corrupt system supporter's think it will last, your sadly mistaken. All I'm going to do is watch and not talk to much mumbo like I been hearing. the great country that enslaved people, terrorized other countries,forced their so called democratic ways on countries,killed leader's because they  don't agree with their power structure ,and fought wars for no real reason...Kharma is making it's way back and watch how the country turns out then. I don't care who doen't like what I said I did. Financial doom awaits the greedy.

It already collapsed in 2000 and 2008.

generallly we call those recessions or in extreme cases depression. NOT economic collapse as defined by RP. But believe what you will.

Not sure what kind of torch that would be because Rand certainly ain't no strict Libertarian like his old man.  He's more of a progressive-constitutionalist.

I can't argue with that. He might be Ron Paul Lite. Let's hope that he's just more nuanced and subtle in the presentation of his ideas. Maybe he knows how to play the game.

Whose definition of "economic collapse" do you use?   I was using the term "collapse" colloquially to mean a period of "negative growth".

The tech bubble collapsed in 2000, the housing market collapsed in 2008.   Both of these resulted in recession which is just fine.  We have a recession every four years in this country and we always have.  What's so special about this generation that they think they're entitled to mortgage our future to pad the numbers they produce?    This is immoral, ninjadude.  This is a game of diminishing returns and dumping debt onto our young people and it's not right.
