I'm interested in the Cheney race mostly to see whether she does any better than expected. A Democrat in that state motivated to turn out even knowing she will lose is a good sign.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Interesting.


FL is like Lucy with her football for Dems.

It polls close, and then on election night it goes red.

Too many old people have flocked there. (No offense intended any board members)

Florida and PA will give the dems two more Senate seats, and a permanent majority in the Senate.

I am old and just moved to Florida I don't take any offense to that. I have actually been surprised by the number of old people. I am probably on the younger side of the "old people" but I have been shocked by the lack of young people in social settings. Granted, I am not going to night clubs but when I go into social setting it seems like at 56 years old my wife and I are the youngest in the crowd. The only place I see younger people (under 50) is when they are working.

About 80% of the people walking the streets in NYC, are under fifty. Rare to see someone over sixty.

Tomorrow: Biden to potentially announce cancellation of up to $10k student debt for people earning under $125k per year.

Righties to whine about it, but admit they’re helpless to stop him.

I wrote uncle Joe a letter requesting he NOT do this.

I had to pay off my loans, so should everybody else.

It's just a sop to try to placate the progressives.

Stupid, stupid move.

An additional $300 billion in inflationary government spending, on top of the $4 trillion he already added in less than two years.

Can't wait for him to bail out the Union pension funds, and the $3 trillion in State and Local debt loads they have no way of paying off.

For every dollar created, the value of all existing dollars decreases.

The cost of college tuition is going to accelerate at a faster rate.

'A former education secretary warned that government aid for students would lead directly to an increase in college costs (known as the Bennett hypothesis) and his predictions came true. The Federal Reserve found that for every dollar in student aid, tuition increases 65 cents.'

'Ultimately, costs at public universities rose 213 percent between 1980 and 2018.'

Bottom line is neither party cares about debt
Is there anybody out there that will raise taxes and cut spending?
I used to vote republican because I thought they were fiscally responsible
That's no longer the case
Why do conservatives complain about spending during a Dem administration but are silent during a republican administration
The only thing that stops Tanko from complaining about spending is when Republicans are in charge yet the spending continues
Illogical :-)
