Or any of the Republican debates, but I always like to hear what Lew Rockwell & Tom Woods have to say. I am against the state and having a ruler. I am not voting, but like all Libertarians & Anarchists I am obsessed with politics. It is fascinating and disgusting.

I could only stomach about 35 minutes of the "debate". First I watched Clinton tell us how she was going to create more jobs by having crews install solar panels and other green sounding shit. And I thought if I was debating her I would immediately call "broken window fallacy" on her. I would answer her that the government can't "create" jobs. They can only take money from the real economy and use it to fund a fake economy--that is, by paying people to do what nobody would pay them to do if they had a choice. Solyndra came to mind. Make-work projects such as Clinton's hurt the economy.

Then I waited for Trump's reply and he completely let that go. That's because they're both economic illiterates. Trump went on to say he would reduce corporate taxes (which is actually beneficial to the economy). Then he went on to say he would increase taxes on imports which would cripple the economy. After that, I decided that the boring football game was better than watching these two.

What to expect for the next one? Likely more of the same type of statist drivel. I am in your debt for providing this information, hopefully this will partially pay it:

Hillary and the Donald both seem to have fallen for this fallacy as well:

These articles take less than five minutes each to read, and are far more entertaining and educational than either a football game or the debates.
