Ban Basketball Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Can't help but notice how Tattletale "News" continues to shoot themselves in the foot, election after election, year after year and wonder why they don't win. At this moment, just as the final January 6 hearings are about to provide their criminal referrals (looks like our own, Gymmy J. is going to be one of them), Tattletale's show, Unanimous, is on. No mention of the criminal referrals, but, for 45 minutes what are they tattling about? You guessed it, border, crime out of control, librul cities lifting bail, and about to begin, a professor caught on camera telling a class that she'll shut down any arguing with her about racial inequality ( that's called good teaching, providing ground rules in class). Gee, and why do we keep losing? Hmmm... Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Ban Basketball Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Ah, yes, and serial stealer of valor and Princeton grad, Pete Hegsberg, after screaming in rage at the top of his lungs all hour, ended things on why he loves Jesus.

jross Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I liked GMI as a means to give a hand to children in poverty. More security with home and food leads to less crime, more education, and a productive future. Studies have shown this. I was naïve to think the government could do this responsibility.

Ban Basketball Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 I can't believe that Rand I Oppose The Civil Rights Act Paul would even think of speaking out against big gubment spending when he voted against the infrastructure bill, only to ask on ten different occasions for infrastructure funds. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/07/politics/infrastructure-spending-republican-critics/index.html 1 Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Putting on your shocked pikachu face is so weird. You've never seen or heard of a bill with earmarks before? This particular bill is somehow different than all prior spending bills?

My point is that Rand I Oppose The Civil Rights Act Paul doesn't really stand for anything. As for these bookends or whatever they are, I haven't looked, simply because nothing's been passed yet. At this point, it's just designed to elicit anger and misinormation fodder for the 30 percenters. Once it's passed, I may have a view on it.

jross Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Same as it ever was. Same as it ever will be. Once it is passed, it is too late. This out-of-control spending should anger 95%. Not your 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but (1) it hasn't happened yet and likely won't and (2) alterations and amendments will be made to it before passage. That's what 40+ years of following politics has taught me.

jross Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Running deficits, increasing debt, and blindly approving a budget rubs me the wrong way. I am concerned about the U.S.A. government's fiscal future and how it will affect my kin. Excessive government spending is causing high inflation that has increased the costs of raising my family far faster than my wages have grown. Running an annual national federal deficit is the same as it almost always is; run without a balanced or surplus budget. How will future social services be paid? Will my children provide a better life for their families than I provided them? I want our elected leaders to put on their big boy/girl pants and take better responsibility and accountability for finance management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our country has operated in the red since its inception and somehow the "fiscal crisis" as a result that I've heard about for 58 years hasn't come yet. We'll be fine.

It sounds like many, many creditors. No surprise, 31+ Billion is a lot of money. It also sounds like the SSA has been overtaxing us, then the federal government has been pi$$ing that away on whatever they want. That's just plain dirty.
