    Bernies plan won't work. Corporations and traders will leave America to avoid excessive taxation.

    "An academic analysis of Congressional records from 1993 to 2002 found that Brookings was referenced by conservative politicians almost as frequently as liberal politicians, earning a score of 53 on a 1–100 scale with 100 representing the most liberal score.[7] The same study found Brookings to be the most frequently cited think tank by the U.S. media and politicians.[7]"

    Please point me to a center with a balanced score, as above, but which supports Cruz's tax plan. And by the way, don't forget Kansas.

    The Brookings Institution, one of the country’s top left-leaning think tanks, has for the first time admitted to Congress that it receives millions of dollars every year from foreign governments, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, according to official disclosure forms obtained by theWashington Free Beacon.

    The disclosure of these figures comes as a result of a recently implemented federal law mandating that those who testify before Congress reveal any potential conflicts created as a result of funding by foreign entities.

    Brookings has come under intense scrutiny by reporters and others for not fully disclosing the large amounts of cash it receives from Middle Eastern governments.

    The practice has led some to accuse Brookings and its most prominent scholars of pushing biased analyses aimed at making these foreign governments look good. The think tank’s relationship with Qatar has received particular attention due to the Middle Eastern country’s close relationship with the terrorist group Hamas and its ongoing funding of various terrorist entities.

    Oh it turns out that all current models of the evolution of the entire Universe are wrong. The latest thinking is that there wasn't even a singularity just a very small star called a Planck Star that became a white hole and spewed out all the stuff that condensed into what we see now.

    Employment numbers have been completely fabricated horse shit for quite a few years now. They are simply unrepresentative of actual conditions and everyone knows it. The adults have all left the building and the kids running things now aren't particularly honest.

    Not recognizing the substantive difference between origin and evolution is what's horse shit.
    Nature provides reliable if not always accessible, information for science and computers to predict with.

    Voters , politicians and too many adults don't.
