Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
"Socialist hardliner Joe Brandon refuses to negotiate with moderates, kills himself and his presidential goals! No sympathy!"
LOL indeed.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
The reactions yesterday tells you the story…The anger by Bernie his band of commie socialists and the relief by the moderates.
Gregory T. Angelo @gregorytangelo · 15h Privately Senator Sinema has been telling people it’s not just her and Manchin who are opposed to #BuildBackBetter — many of their Democrat colleagues are opposed as well, but afraid to speak up. She tells them they’re “hiding behind her skirt.” Biden hasn’t governed like a moderate, that’s why he’s been a disaster. The folks in charge of the administration aren’t really good at this.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
We don't have plenty of money. We just keep borrowing and borrowing and borrowing money we don't have. We are in debt 29 trillion dollars.
It's incredibly unfair to say if you're against this monster bill you're doing it at the expense of your country. There are valid reasons why people are against it. Spending tons of money does not automatically equal good for the country. If that was the case, this country would be absolutely perfect by now. That's all our government does is print and spend money they don't have.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
If not the gov't who else? Let's take away Social Security, SSI, HEAP/HUD/SNAP, Medicare and Medicaid and see how that works.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Well to be fair to Manchin it was the White House that were playing games on the cost of the bill. The CBO said it wasn't paid for and the White House response was to shorten the time of the programs to 3 years while stating next 10 years of a tax increase (that they would have to extend after 3 years) would pay for them. Manchin knew that Dems would have to be in power to extend the taxes and if they were they'd also extend the programs - ie it wasn't going to be payed for. To clarify a Republican controlled Congress = no tax extension which means increased debt. A Dem controlled congress = Tax extension which pays for 1st three years but then also means extension of programs as well which means increased debt.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
I agree the game playing is counterproductive. It should be okay to say that providing services will cost money and not lie about it.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
The infrastructure bill that actually got passed was 2702 pages. I mean, c'mon, no way you can possibly believe a bill needs 2700 pages, if it was actually drafted strictly for national infrastructure. That bill had more pork than a sausage factory.
If anyone here has read a 2700 page book, you're a superior human than me. The infrastructure bill compared to BBB is childs play.

To your other post: I was born in Beaufort, SC and still consider SC my home state but after college I could not bring myself to move back there. I was a military brat and spent most of my life outside Fort Bragg, Fort Benning and Fort Polk. I have had enough of southern conservatism. I also lived in Fort lewis. The western conservative mindset is far more to my liking than the southern. |

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
Lot's of great restaurants there be prepared for traffic, bad driving and to put on twenty pounds from fried food alone. Head to Isle of Palms go to Acme Cantina and get the Gouda Grit Fries. Ask them to add some shrimp. Go to Simmons Seafood for key lime pie. Don't ever let anyone see you buy shrimp at a grocery store pick it up at the dock on Shem Creek. Swig and Swine up route 41 for your que. Riverdogs games are the bomb great food and beer. Go opening night to hang with Bill Murray
