  1. Basically, it sounds like the bill makes some cuts, all to programs that are already small or benefit poor people ( medicaid). Has some spending increases such as military and homeland security. The biggest component is MASSIVE tax decreases for billionaires that are way way way more than the net cuts. Doing the math, it adds trillions to the debt over next 10 yrs and basically transfers more money from the poor to the rich.
  2. I'm going with the flow as the wingers keep changing the subject.
  3. As if the Trump white houses were competent. Lmao.
  4. Many many people will be disqualified because they don't properly fill out paperwork and in time. Many of them don't understand English very well either. I know this sounds like an easy thing for you and I, but think about the challenges that a lot of people have that are already on medicaid. Those same challenges will end up making the paperwork a major logistical hurdle for them.
  5. I agree that the biggest question may be how many of your kids may be visiting you at once, including their own kids. That determines how much space you need. Other than that, get the smallest place you can tolerate because if you eventually live with another woman, you'll probably need to get a new place anyway. If they aren't visiting a ton, it may be cheaper to put them up in hotels than to buy a bigger place. I'm not sure how old you are, but also consider that your mobility and strength is going to decline. At some point, you'll need to be in a condo or apartment so this may be a time to make that jump. My wife and I are going with a 3-bed, 1700 SF ranch. I enjoy shovelng and mowing for now. We have 5 kids between us, but they may all end up living fairly far away (all around college age right now) so we want to have a little extra space but not waste it either.
  6. I don't think many supported transgender competing against girls but they didn't vehemently oppose it either so the wingers made it look like they supported it. Sports really aren't that important in the big picture but specific sports are very important to specific people at specific times, so the wingers did a,great pr job here. Masterful. Instilled lots of fear. " the transgenders are taking over girls sports. Your daughter or grandaughter is the next victim and will be traumatized. "
  7. I think believing in a higher power(s) is very reasonable. Lots out there that we can't sense or comprehend. However, given that, I do agree that it's wingbat nuts to claim one knows exactly what God is like.
  8. What did he say that was political?
  9. I don't think getting an advantage or disadvantage has much to do with being a "real man" or "fake man" but maybe you can explain. Do just the wimps and transgender get screwed over? Or when you use the term "screwed over" are you jokingly talking about how some guys get that in prison?
  10. ...so extrapolating that, I must have high T if I think I'm getting screwed over because I'm a guy, right?
  11. A little (mainly because Iike combat sports and dark movies and documentaries) but more that I don't recognize my male privilege enough.
  12. Yah, that we actually went through with it. Do you know what the term " fiance" means? I've been calling her that for over a year. How long you think an engagement should last?
  13. As I thought. Doesn't exist. Just another winger lie.
  14. Married VERY recently. Thats how it goes typically. You're engaged prior to getting married. I know it sounds crazy.
  15. Show me link to the actual study. Not the article that made the bs claim.
  16. I guess you're right. I don't actually have a full time job plus 2 part time jobs and I'm actually on welfare.
  17. https://www.americanprogressaction.org/article/donald-trump-is-lying-about-immigrants-and-social-security-medicare/ Keep drinking the Kool Aid though.
  18. Where's the actual study though? Sorry I don't believe data thar comes out if things air. I've asked for this almost 10x now and you simply keep re quoting an article that makes the bs claim.
  19. Well, thanks for being honest. That confirms that the figure was basically thrown out of thin air. Pretty much blows the entire credibility of the author there.
  20. Yup. The wingers keep wanting to divert the topic when they are losing
  21. tell me more about this "raiding" and who is getting it that isn't contributing? Whether raided or not, it doesn't change the fact that it's running a deficit. How do you propose to fix that? Let's cut the complaining crap and actually address the issue.
  22. That's another blatant winger lie. SS is paying out more than it's taking in, because people are living longer than they used to. Call it separate or combine it, that's a matter of semantics. Fact of the matter is that both programs run deficits so changes are needed. You can cut benefits, raise contributions or just go farther into debt. The wingers just want to put it on the national credit card. No spine whatsoever.
  23. So where's the source for the 96% BS figure?
  24. That's another winger lie. They're a dime a dozen. I'm actually probably the ONLY person (or one of them) that on this forum actually in favor of also cutting social security (the Uber rich don't need any of it) and medicare, albeit modestly (not as much as the military, where I'd gut it like the fat pig that it is). Im in favor of cutting the OVERALL budget but also raising taxes on everybody to cut into the deficit and keep interest rates lower. I'm not dumb enough though like most wingers to think that cutting USAID, EPA, Dept of Education and Planned Parenthood is going to make any sort of dent in the budget. I would NOT cut Medicaid or assistance to poor families. The young families are the people we need to prioritize for assistance. This is our future. If I have to triage my money and pick between saving the life of a kid and extending the life of somebody in their 80s, I'm going to pick the kid almost every time (depending upon actual circumstances though).
