- 52% of voters (4,706,659) think the government should expand NASA's budget. .
- 60% of voters (5,723,850) support a rise in the minimum wage.
- 65% of voters (1,715,066) think the government should subsidise wind power.
I don't see your point on these ones.
Well, actually, I don't quite understand what is meant by subsidizing wind power, unless it means that government money goes to private wind farms to fund them.
yeah the government pays wind farmers to farm wind, rather than the free market doing the leg work.
Do they need the subsidies to cover starting costs or something?
Those are covered through grants and tax-credits usually, subsidies are long-term deals to keep the farms alive regardless of the market's response. Most farming in the US is subsidized.
So what I'm gathering here is that wind farming isn't cost efficient and require government assistance to operate? I know that most produce farmers wouldn't be able to live without government help, but you'd think since you don't have to feed windmills...

I wonder what terrorist organization could be creating the tension there...
It is called Israel.
But then why is the West Bank not being invaded as well?

I don't know, the Arabs up north in the Golan Heights seem to be doing just fine. Seems like Gaza's the only real problem, and gee, I wonder what terrorist organization could be creating the tension there...

Seriously I wouldn't want to go to the UK. I've talked to some British people and they tell me it's like the government wrote the laws while referring to 1984.
Just wait a few years. The EU is trying to ban incorrect speech LOL.
Fucking what?
There are two or three bills circulating in the EU upper management about restricting the spectrum of speech and making talking about some topics or holding certain positions a crime.
views that they wanna ban:
Taxation is theft.
Anti-feminism.
holocaust denialism.
Nationalism.
Anti-Multi-culturalism.
Wow... they weren't kidding when they said that the fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists.

Eh, no worse then last year. Not much better, but still okay. Actually, I might say it's been much better since for most of this year I've been able to sleep regularly.

Would they still be the number one most powerful or would they have dropped down? And if so, how far down? Feel free to include other predictions you have about teh futer.
No, economic collapse:
Either a Hitler will rise to power, or China will cash in their chips and own the US.
That would be hard to do, seeing as they only hold 8% of US public debt.
Pretty sure this thread is theorizing about the future of the US in 100 years, not today. If you extrapolate their ownership of our debt in 100 years I'm sure it comes to significantly more than 8%.
I don't see China's economy holding the way it's been for 100 years, so there's going to be a point where they can no longer invest in US loans.
