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...

Betting markets have Biden as more likely to win re-election now… surely Beemer has changed his prediction and torn this poster off his wall? Every once in a while I look at the Vegas odds. Looked at a few after seeing your post. I'm not seeing any that Joe ahead. Trump remains the slight favorite ...

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? You must want to work in cabl...

Then those who think it is a good idea should foot the bill. Those who don't should not have to pay from someone else so they can dodge an obligation they have.

That would be impossible to do. Unless you have 11 months to check boxes for funding every year. There are probably that many boxes.

I know for many this is an unpopular opinion, but if I take out a loan for anything it is up to me to pay it off. I feel those who took out student loans should also pay them off, not us taxpayers and save your arguments about predatory loan companies, the auto loan industry is full of them too and...

Now boys and girls a man was killed with a chainsaw today in Texas….

As one of the few Jewish people on the board I am very offended by Mr. Trumps remarks. Jewish voters have almost always voted Democrat. There are, like me, Republican Jews but by and large they vote Democrat. His comments will cost him any Jewish votes he may have gotten and will not win him any fr...

I agree gas is about the same as pre-covid but power bills have gotten higher since covid.

How much of that is related to grid improvements? I suspect some of it. In fact the DTE hikes specifically have something to do with such work. There’s a push to put the lines underground for example.

The cops had to shoo passers by away who were stopping on the shoulder of 94 and walking all over the landscaping last night.

State by state, the majority of voters want legal abortion and euthanasia. It will be interesting if it can make the Constitution in Florida with a 60% pass mandate. Ohio tried to change that to restrict abortion access in '22, which didn't work either. Legal IVF is now on the Republican platform s...

Energy affordable? Power companies nationwide have raised customer bills and gas prices are above 3.55 a gallon most everywhere. What drugs are you on?

Pre-Covid it wasn’t that much different gas wise.
