Re: The Debt Limit..

True; it doesn't need to be. Controlling annual deficits, and ideally, getting to a balanced budget should be the goal.

New car sales data in U.S. through April 2023

I must say - there are some surprises in here (at least to me). Tesla Model Y is the fourth best selling passenger automobile in the country both YTD and for April individually! Tesla now commands greater market share than Subaru. The Silverado is giving the F-150 a run for its money. I was surprise...

Re: Corrupt Ken Paxton impeached by Texas State House

I am somewhat intrigued by Tim Scott. I would love to see Chris Sununu throw his hat into the ring. Asa Hutchinson doesn't have a chance in hell of doing well, and Nikki Haley needs to become much more visible at some point. I think a lot of what occurs before the debates will be inconsequential.

April Nielsen #s - The Q reaches new record high; WLHT's struggles continue

Channel 95.7 just turned in a real shit box of a book. To be losing to 105.3 Hot FM, a station with significant signal issues in the heart of the city, ought to be embarrassing. 95.7 should be grabbing 4 shares consistently. Is the new morning show dragging down the station, or do other problems exi...

Re: The Debt Limit..

Without a doubt. The whole blanket college loan forgiveness edict that the Biden Administration tried to institute was a ploy to drive young adults to the polls in 2022. The moratorium on loan payback requirements is a similar strategy. Corporate welfare programs supported by members of both parties...

Re: The Debt Limit..

Government Debt to GDP is the ratio I like to use to analyze trends. That ratio is now twice as high as it was fifteen years ago. That's despite the fact our GDP has grown substantially over that time. The growth in this ratio needs to be brought under control. 2020 was the year where it really surg...

Re: Amherstburg's NEW Radio Station ~ Coming Spring 2023

But as I recall, previous applicants ran into difficulty with the Aeronautical restrictions, and moved to another channel as I recall. I believe you may be correct. The CBC, I thought, was originally going to put one of its French language networks there. Instead, they decided to use 105.5 and 103....

Re: NBA playoffs

Holy crap - last night's ending is excruciatingly painful if you are a Miami heat fan. Caleb Martin should've rushed to the basket for the potential rebound after Marcus Smart's near game winner. Instead he just stood in the paint, looking away from the basket. That in & of itself is ironic since Ma...

Jaquio is in Ohio using a Toledo area ISP.

There was another handle, though, that I just banished this morning. Based on post content and writing style, it's clear that individual was LL.

Re: Corrupt Ken Paxton impeached by Texas State House

Remarkable. Too toxic even for the Texas GOP. Well, the state party is split on that question. The majority of GOP state representatives, however, did indeed vote to impeach. The GOP holds 86 house seats while the Dems hold 64. So, at least 57 of those 86 GOP members voted in favor of impeachment. ...

Corrupt Ken Paxton impeached by Texas State House

The articles of impeachment received widespread bipartisan support. Republicans control the state legislature in Texas. The state party chair supports Paxton and has been very critical of the legislature's investigation. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2023/05/27/texas-house-impeachmen...
