You are in a tough spot if empirical verification is required.
If real world validation is required to make a decision, other than the racists voting for obama solely due to his skin color, well, the democrat party wouldn't exist.
And this former nation wouldn't be in the unrecoverable, liberal/progressive downward death spiral that it is in. Hard to argue that one, unless one believes "that increasing the debt limit won't increase the debt" (obamaclown)..... :lol:
