What you faggots are forgetting is that the USA is the biggest, baddest superpower in the fucking world, with the power to destroy all life on the planet a million times over. Nothing bad will ever happen to us no matter what we do. If we die, everybody dies. It doesn't matter that we're trillions of dollars in debt. What is anyone gonna do about it?

That was a very rational and well constructed takedown of my position. You get an A for this semester. Well done. You're on track to graduate with a perfect 4.0 GPA, and get a cushy office job. Again, really good job.
