This pushes our spending which was already way too high to above WWII spending levels, it also pushes the US above the spending level Greece indulged in prior to their bankruptcy.

Because the environment is last on the list of what is important? Like I said earlier your idea if reckless spending and mine are different. Saving the planet is a bigger issue than anything. You would think that would be something that everyone can get on board with?

It certainly does tax the rich in the red states. Texas is like 3 or 4 where it’s claimed the most.

Feds: Florida missed deadline to receive $2.3B in school aid

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida is the last state to submit a plan to the U.S. Department of Education that's required before more than $2.3 billion in federal aid for Florida schools can be released, according to a letter sent to the state Monday.

The letter sent to Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said the state Department of Education missed the deadline to release American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) money.

“The Department released the first two-thirds of each State’s allocation in March and required each State to submit its plan for spending its ARP ESSER funds by June. FDOE did not meet this deadline, nor did it meet the July and August submission timelines that were anticipated following conversations with your staff,” wrote Ian Rosenblum, the federal department's deputy assistant secretary for policy and programs.

Rosenblum said the delay makes it harder for school districts to plan.

“We have heard repeatedly from parents, teachers, and superintendents from school districts in Florida that FDOE has not yet awarded ARP ESSER funds to local educational agencies,” he wrote.

Simply pointing out the fear tactics that Trump and the extreme right used. And i meant mexican caravan but the doors song got in my head. Remember the mexican caravan that was invading our country- rapists and murderers I believe made up 90 percent of them.
Also SD i was calling trump a racist because he is one, but never did i imply anyone else including chico and certainly not all conservatives were. Dont pin that crap on me.

Hey, I said if...🍻🍻🍻

I would just inject bleach into the economy or perhaps nuke a tornado. Hysterical that a trump guy jumps all over some notion of a trillion dollar coin but doesn’t even research first before he blames biden for a retarded idea. This on the heels of his messiah literally spouting retarded ideas for four years. The bleach n the nukes are just my favorites. Perhaps if we had taken advantage of the airports during the civil war we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Can we use it to purchase Greenland?

Youre right, I just looked that up.

I thought Texas was a no property tax state and they are. But somehow they are one of the top 6 states that benefit from SALT itemized deductions?

I guess the local property taxes are big? They dont have a state property tax.

This was still a President targeting a certain group of Americans bc they didnt vote for him.

Tax ALL the rich.

The thing with salt and why it’s generally associated with blue states is the tax policy of those states. But people take the salt deduc all over the country…most likelly wealthy counties. Florida, North Carolina, Virginia…all over. The main problem with blue states and overbearing tax policy, combined with out of controlled spending… is folks in California and New York were leaving. Instead of belt tightening which never seems to be an option…they want no accountability, it’s ALWAYS bigger government.

Why is accountability never the answer here? Accountability within federal, state and city government should be the number 1 goal in taxing and spending policy.

Like why is there hundreds of billions not spent, sitting in the coffers of state and city governments from previous covid bailout bills? Shouldn’t we be asking these questions?

I just don’t think folks know or even care about these numbers.

This is the kind of shit that makes anything any other President ever does not that bad. Lol. I mean you will never and have never before seen any mans name let alone a politician (not that Trump is a politician he is just a puppet) on a sign with Jesus. If there is a hell Trump is literally going straight to it. Him and Jesus could not be more different in their philosophies. The really fucked up thing is these people are lying. Trump is their savior and they dont give a rats ass about Jesus. It is fuckin bat shit crazy folks. And why him? He literally is nothing like his base except for the racist crap which many of them applaud. Clown, draft dodger, shyster. Why do they think he is some tough guy or some hero. It is honestly the fucking weirdest thing ive witnessed in my lifetime.
I know the cult is not news to anyone but when i see this shit i just take a step back and sort of ponder how many nut jobs are living amongst us.

Another school shooting. Another example of how the NRA funding the Republican party is getting in the way of gun control (I REPEAT GUN CONTROL NOT TAKING YOUR GUNS AWAY) and killing people. I mean all ya gotta do is look at almost any other country in the world to see we have a major fucking problem and there is a solution.

Yeah it's hard to wrap your head around how someone can claim to be a follower of Jesus, yet also support a no class, morally objectionable piece of shit like Trump. Proof the religious right are perfectly fine with moving the goal posts when it suits them.

Now is not the time to talk about gun control.

Next week, month and year aint looking good either.

Seriously though ... I havent heard any great gun control ideas that would actually work but its alarming how many people in this country have military stock piles of weapons.

















This is not healthy

Campaign playbook is to have some random lady run for House in a solid red district and she runs a AR 15 giveaway for publicity

Then we have nut bags in the house doing nut bag shit
