I heard this story last week. Not surprising after I gave NPR a few-hour listen once a few months ago, just out of curiosity. The 2 hours I heard literally sounded like a Democrat party infomercial, and utterly boring. I've never heard so much left-wing propaganda crammed into a 2-hour span in my li...

So you don't think the recent border bill, written by a very conservative Republican, was killed strictly because of political purposes by Trump? What part of "Trump didn't kill it" are you not understanding? He didn't cast a vote. House members cast votes. If those House members voted the way they...

According to Israel, the total ended up being somewhere around 320 munitions, including 170 explosive drones and 150 missiles. Iran says the attack is over. The question now is, how does Israel respond, and to what degree does the US, both militarily and rhetorically, support Israel. Considering tha...

No, what I'm effectively saying is that you're a troll. You came into another thread unrelated to this topic and did nothing more than troll me. I stand by my claim that it is laughable to blame Trump for House bills sinking. He has freedom of speech, just like anybody else. He does not currently ho...

A "pattern"? LOL. I was out of state for 3 days and have been playing catch-up the past 3 days at work. My online time has been limited. Moreover, I ignored this particular thread without even clicking on it given that Matt has created at least 20 threads with the same theme. And now he's trolling m...

I hope the stock market doesn't take shit on Monday. So you say you're concerned about the market? Kind of selective fears eh? Considering I bought back in recently, yes I am. Aren't wars good for sitting Presidents? Biden's "support" of Israel has been some of the weakest support I've ever seen a ...

After seeing they were up 4-1 and then tied 4-4, I thought for sure they were going to blow it and end their season tonight. Penguins currently losing to the Bruins. Detroit should end the night tied for the last wild card spot. Too bad they have the fewest regulation wins of those fighting for the ...

Just move some zeroes around. Wow, why didn't I figure out that it was just that simple!?

I gotta do my taxes today - moving some zeros around sounds like a splendid plan.

If the government gets the same in taxes but spends more, then that piles on to the national debt. It doesn't just magically go away.

You are advocating that we cut off subsides to corporations and agriculture?

Most of them, perhaps with the exception of disaster aid to agriculture, yes. But even there, I would prefer private insurance cover disasters.

...the government needs to stay out of education... This, and subsidies and loans. I get tired of the argument others make of bUt SUbsIdIEs!!!!!!! Corporations get subsidies!!!! And tons of government money!!!! So let's use that to justify giving the little guy money too!!!!! How about we just stop...

No… you have to pay taxes. Nitpicking about exactly what it might go to is the bad faith argument. Some fraction of every persons taxes goes to every program every year. So what are you contributing to this small program? .50 Cents… a dollar? It’s some stupidly small amount. Forgive me if I break t...

You must want to work in cable news or something. You ignored the rest of my reasoning. Unfortunately for you the rest of that reasoning is important to what I said. I am arguing that it should be reset and limits should be put on it so this never happens again. I read everything you said - I just ...

As somebody who has around $70,000 in student loans around his neck that I had no real concept for what I was buying at 18 and out on my own…

My thought has been bail them out...

So in your opinion, other people should be responsible for paying for your dumb decisions?
