  • This guy just goes on and on. Can anybody really tell more about Ben? Yes, I lurked from time to time in the past... But has he always been this insufferable and ridiculous? And the way he defends Texas is almost sad.

        Ben routinely lies about Texas and isn't worth talking to. I even linked to us official data showing his numbers were complete bull**** yet the lying little crap stain is back reporting numbers he knows are false.



        That link is for anyone interested in actual reality instead of the beniverse.

          My guess is she needs an actual progressive to get the Bernie folks on her side. Also she knows the VP has no real power so she will easily be able to sideline and isolate a progressive VP.

            Well the main issue with Warren is she holds a senate seat and the governor of her state is republican, who would appoint a republican in her place. That would make it more difficult for democrats to take the Senate. That is at least what I have heard from democrats. Julian Castro is pretty liberal on many issues. His youth and energy may also inspire young voters. Plus he will obviously be appealing to Latinos because of his story.

                  The thread got deleted in the purge, but the Wiki source you quoted (and that Ben quoted) were both unsubstantiated. The BEA pages they claimed to use as sources were invalid.

                  All told, the actual BEA data showed that California was above Texas.

                    • The actual data shows that California is far above Texas. And Texas has a higher poverty rate than the national average and that a large majority of their jobs are barely above minimum wage... before anyone makes an argument about lower living costs.

                      • Naw, your clearly get the stats wrong Giancarlo - you are supposed to get rid of blacks, hispanics and white trash (incuding Ben) when you make calculations for texas - then they do better
                        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                          Of course. I was sooooo wrong. I should only count the Texas republican party elite that owns half of the state.

                            Table 3, Page 7:

                            Texas, seasonally adjusted GDP for 2015:

                            1,591,148
                            1,590,234
                            1,583,848
                            1,580,641

                            California, seasonally adjusted GDP for 2015

                            2,403,342
                            2,459,749
                            2,474,341
                            2,496,710

                            California population in 2015: 38.8 million
                            Texas population in 2015: 26.9 million

                            2,403/38.8 = 61.93
                            1,591/26.9 = 59.10

                            California has a slight lead of about 4.73 percent over Texas.

                              Median household income!= state GDP. But then you know those are two entirely different concepts? IF California is second in income and only 14th in what they actually produce, that speaks volumes. Obviously Californians are overpaid.
