Or even better. Have a rod rammed up your colon to scan it. If it's the right colon to start the car, do so and get all the biogas to power the car from the same source.

- Not one penny of US debt has been repaid for 51 years: the last time US government funded debt actually decresed on a year-over-year basis was 1960
97% of today's funded debt has been accumulated since August 1971 - the end of the Bretton Woods era by Nixon, and the terminal delinking of all fiat currencies from any and all hard assets, ushered in the era of modern-day hyper-debt insolvency
- Obama projects 2.5% Fed Funds rate in budget calculations through 2020. Average Fed Funds rate since 1980: 5.7%; Since 2008: 0.00%, If average 5.7% rate was used, projected US deficit would increase by another $4.9 trillion by 2020
- Obama projects 4.2% growth rate over next 3 years. If a normal growth rate of 2.5% is used, deficits would increase by another $4 trillion by 2020
- The US government borrows 40-50 cents for every dollar it spends. A balanced budget would mean cutting government spending in half.
- Implementing a balanced budget would not reduce current debt outstanding. It would merely stop it from growing.
- Over the past three fiscal years US debt grew by over $1.5 trillion per year: this is more than three times the record annual debt increase in any previous year in US history
- Last night deficit reduction targets were cut from $4 trillion to $2 trillion over the next decade, in exchange for a $2.4 trillion debt ceiling hike, which will last the Treasury until the next presidential election. Said otherwise, the Treasury needs to fund a $2.4 trillion hold over the next 15 months. Over a decade this come to $20 trillion: ten times more than the proposed deficit reduction.
In other words, cut the US budget in half to stop the situation from getting worse. Then start working on your debt mountains.
Their damn problem if they get cut off. By staging examples and publicizing them, other companies will stop working for spammers.
A similar method is used against drug dealers in some countries - deal 15g of hard stuff, get an appointment with the hangman. And drug dealing is harder to catch than spam-based credit card processing.
All in all, there was a talk about six wives. However, I don't know how many he simultaneously had at the end. If it was just 4, it was halal. If not, Osama is going to roast in hell, together with 72 old hags.
I doubt Osama needed to have wank movies in his house - after all, he hed enough women who wanted to be together with a terror czar. And if one remembers where most traffic came from (until blocked) - it was arab and muslim countries.
That wouln't work here too often as lots of cameras take a picture of you dead ahead in order to enforce the motorway toll sticker usage as well.
And what if a potential attack consists of a missile that will seperate itself into multiple warheads before attacking the target? The overloading tactic would presumably also work against RAMs (Rolling Airframe Missiles) and conventional Phalanx guns.
Companies will also flee towards Switzerland as it's the only other semi tax haven in Europe, and since the Swiss did not outspend their tax receipts, they're in a financially pretty good shape and thus taxes will most likely stay low.
No, one would have to weed out socialism for this. And not to store it underground to make it reappear hundreds of years later.
A antibiotics-resistant version of Yersinia pestis would be optimal - high killing rate, high infection rate, and the disease spread can only be stopped with drastic measures.
If I were a terrorist, I'd forego using Ebola since this disease kills it's host rather fast. Too fast for a successful spread of the disease.
Depends. There are certainly some high-ranking officials going visiting prostitutes. Attach the device to their car, and the county/state has the sex&crime scandal it needs.
100 US-$ is still no deterrent. Go to Singapore.
1200 SGD for one offense, the SGD is maybe 80 US cents. Kind of works.
They tried that in the UK, in Germany and some other places. And guess what - they still have guns. Better use ShotSpotter if it really works, at least with non-sound-suppressed guns.
The problem is not the huge amount of guns (Switzerland, Norway, Finland and even Sweden have a rather high gun density, but rather little violent crime), but the social breakdown of society. If you want to fix that, it's either by making these people think that legal work is more desirable than ten years in a hellhole of jail, or by simply having a death squad clean up the gangs, sans due process.
Down in Switzerland, they need to be registered as a financial intermediary, at least. Which basically means that if they aren't, any enterprising lawyer could catch them for not fulfilling the legal rules regarding money laundering. And regardless of what they talk about tax laws, the Swiss money laundering rules are strict.
