LaurenceB. "President Joe Biden has signed the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act into law allotting $816.7 billion to the Defense Department." And "The Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill includes a total of $82.068 billion, including $60.7 billion in net discretionary appropriations."Almost one trillion dollars a year for a war while our school children are getting shot up in their own schools. "Guns kill more U.S. kids than cancer." and "Gun violence recently surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for American children." And you're worried about the Debt?

Paul Johnson This isn't about taking fewer and shorter showers. About 80% of Colorado River water goes to agricultural uses. Relative to residential use, agricultural use is profligate. California's Imperial Valley is irrigated with more Colorado River water than all of Arizona and Nevada combined. Naturally, that valley is a desert but they are growing lettuce, celery, alfalfa, etc. there. Water is conveyed in unlined, open canals where vast quantities are lost to ground infiltration and evaporation. It's insanity.

Kat and if those children are disabled and receiving government benefits, they cannot inherit stuff the regular way because if they do - they will lose the benefits.Special needs children/adults receiving valuable government benefits need Special needs trusts to address inheritances - not something to be found on Legal Zoom.

"The plan includes a $22 billion cut to the Department of Health and Human Services that would gut funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and cut $26 billion from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, including a phaseout of Section 8 grants..."So the main cuts in Mr. Vought's plan would be to the CDC, as we're still dealing with a global pandemic, and who knows when the next one is coming, and to HUD, which is already severely underfunded, during a time when the unaffordability of housing nationwide is at crisis levels.

Just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. Planet earth is already struggling under the weight of its human population. It might behoove us to think of all the other species who share the land and resources we so greedily gobble up and to giving back to what sustains us before figuring out a way to cause yet more damage by selfishly extending our lifespans at the probable cost of the very existence of others…and ultimately, ourselves. For optimal survival, there needs to be balance: maybe we should get our home in order instead of striving for a way to live longer while it crumbles down around us.

Tom Chapman The DOD has long wanted to close a number of surplus military bases currently kept open due to the influence of local Congressmen and Senators. Biden should announce that if the debt limit is not raised, those bases will be immediately shut down and the troops immediately transferred elsewhere. I agree with eliminating Ag price supports but would include that as part of stopping any direct subsidy payments to all corporations and individuals.

Don't forget to remind your readers that that country of financial rectitude, Japan, has a debt to GDP ratio of over 250% v today's US ratio of about 120%. And the dollar is still the world's reserve currency. But if the MAGA nuts prevent the raising of the debt ceiling, nobody will want the dollar ( it is not only bonds and bills that are debt of the US, so are currency and dollars in banks around the world which are nothing but IOUs from the US) and there will be a worldwide panic into the yen and the Euro like the world has never seen. Beyond that, anything is a guess, but it won't be a good outcome for anyone in the world.

Cue the Berniecrats downplaying Manchin. Of all the Democratic senators, there was only a handful that publicly stated Manchin was a thorn in their side. One of course was Berne, he wrote a critical bill last year on regulating baseball! We know at least one senator, Mark Warner, admitted we probably spent too much on some of the Covid fixes. And don’t tell me all the Democratic senators wanted to get rid of the filibuster, not by a long shot. Manchin is helping himself (so pass a bill on stock holding), but in the bigger picture helped push across a 15% minimum corporate tax. No small feat. That is a classic Democratic Party goal and achievement.

Benedict was grappling with the fundamental conundrum in the church in a modernizing society. At its root, church doctrine is grounded in faith, "leaving no room for ambiguity about what must be believed".But a modern society requires open-minded thinking where there is no idea which "must be believed".Further more, since faith requires one to believe in something absent solid evidence (otherwise it is not faith), this becomes ever more dangerous as society becomes more complicated. One only needs look at the proliferation of fact-free conspiracy theories circulating today to understand that faith is not enough to sustain a belief in the modern world.In "A year of living biblically", A.J. Jacobs attempted to abide all the dictums of the bible. He failed, not just because it was impractical but because in some cases it was unethical or illegal. This highlights that all wisdom is contextual, and our context has changed.In the end, there is no logical way to reconcile old-style faith with modern education and objective knowledge. So, as with all faith-based doctrines, there is a need to re-interpret the essence and wisdom of old beliefs in a new context. I suspect this is what Benedict was attempting.

Marlowe I understand. I was actually uneducated and unsophisticated about almost all things financial/retirement related until I turned 60 and realized I'd better get cracking. My Morgan Stanley advisor, while certainly a trusted fiduciary, would never commit to the level of actual retirement planning detail I felt I needed. While I still use MS for investments only, I now use Right Capital to monitor everything else, since that directly impacts my financial future. For example, a recent change of employment income can easily be entered, which, if large enough (in either direction, up or down), can have a huge impact on the future if you look at that in RC (easy to do). Essentially, RC lets you track your entire worth in one robust platform. No spreadsheets, no manual calculations, even no guesswork - it's all there in once place. Well worth the effort to learn, but I agree it is very time consuming to become your own retirement/financial planner, especially if you are working full time and/or raising children.

Kate Middleton has had 10 years to assess the family she might be marrying into. From meeting William as a student to eventually marrying him, she had the time to assess the family, the role she would have to play, the restrictions that that role implied and experienced the ways the press reported on her and her relationship with William.When she decided to marry William, she must have had a pretty good idea what kind of life waited for her and what kind of family she'd be marrying into. And she's adapted to that life. How happy she is or isn't, I can't know. How much ambition (being a princess, being the wife and mother of a future king) played a part in her decision, I can't know. The contrast with the way Meghan married into the family can hardly be more clear. For example: Somehow, it seems Harry took her to meet the Queen without warning her that she needed to curtsy. Is curtsying an antiquated custom, yes of course. But still, when you brings the love of your life to meet your family - don't you warn them on some of the peculiar habits of your family members?Bottom line: Kate went in with her eyes open, Meghan did not/didn't get the time to realise what she went in for of she was blinded by the idea of marrying a prince and the adulation that might come with the title.I kind of pity them all.

The man who is working with Rehumanize International and Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance. Does he know that if he supports rights for language around gender, they will kick him so fast to the curb it will make his head spin.They will not tolerate gay rights or trans rights. He is barking up the wrong tree. Also, if you want women to have children, give them free day care, expand Medicaid to the 13 states that don't have it. Perhaps there will be less maternal deaths if you expand Medicaid.

The motto of the Democrats should be "Raise The Cap" whenever Social Security and Medicare are brought up by the GOP. In fact, putting that motto on billboards in the districts of the right wing Republicans who are currently advocating cutting entitlement programs would be a great conversation starter. Most Americans do not realize that payroll taxes funding those programs cut off at a certain point (in 2021 it was $142,000). I think even Republican voters would be in favor of permanently getting rid of that cap if they just knew it existed.

What I find so interesting about Krugman is that on one hand he thinks inflation is under control and on the other hand he thinks we don’t have a debt problem with $31 trillion of debt. It’s not difficult to predict what’s going to happen. We’re going to inflate our way out of it, like we always have. We’re going to devalue the dollar so $31 trillion doesn’t look so bad, but the cost of living is going to skyrocket. Inflation isn't under control at all. We're just getting started on that.

What about a mental illness program for politicians in Albany? Is anybody even keeping track of all the money they’re spending? Progressives in Albany were giving out money to everyone leading up to the election, which was to be expected. The difference is, they haven’t stopped since. Every day there’s a new program out. $25 billion for maintaining people’s private homes was the last one. NYS is spending money like crazy. We can talk about the merits of various projects but my God, how much money are we spending? It’s just an endless black hole. I cast my first ever vote for a Republican in November because at some point this just has to stop.

Decline is not a new idea for Brits to accommodate. Indeed, even through the zenith of Empire, Englishness enthusiastically embraced the concept of its own ineffable decline. The key for many has been to confront that prospect with good humour, self-deprecation and openness to new thinking. Brexit was merely a waypoint along that road, but what it has already started to demonstrate is that British fortunes, both national and individual, to a far larger extent than heretofore, will be in our OWN hands. As a Brit, I greet that prospect with some quizzical scepticism and the predisposition to believe that we will make many mistakes along the way. There is no necessity to adopt the Teutonic certainties (so speedily disabused) or American optimism (appealing though that remains) to assemble a super-weaning or prideful expectation that we will necessarily emerge at the top of the tree. Enjoyment of the ride and appreciation of others success will lead to far greater levels of contentment.There’s always someone with a bigger yacht, faster car, larger screen. The trick is to appreciate their achievement of those amenities while appreciating the joys of lives, landscapes and families not necessarily marked by envy or dissatisfaction.A nation of philosophers perhaps?

I started intuitive eating in 2020 to mend my relationship with food. I am happy to report that I am in disordered eating recovery now! By not obsessing over food, I nourished myself and had more energy to workout. I actually lost pant sizes by allowing myself to eat--that's not why I started this lifestyle change though. I went from thinking about calories and my body image almost constantly to feeling in-touch and happy with my body. It's liberating. Such a shame that so many people don't want to learn to trust themselves. Intuitive eating, if you read the book, allows people with diseases and disorders to do what is medically necessary, by the way. It addresses many of the concerns mentioned in the comments here. Some need to do actual research before shutting it down fully! I am just one person, of course. However, I am glad I opened my mind. I love food and movement!

My brother was a star player on his high school team in 1963 and 64. I remember his many visits to the hospital to get his knees drained after injuries. He told me that pro organizations were looking to draft him, but he decided he didn't want to be a cripple by the time he was thirty, got his business degree and went on with his life. But he still loved sports, played basketball in college and later, golf, as well.My point is, athletes love what they do. The world gives so much to the greatest of them, in both adoration and crazy amounts of money, that I would think it difficult to turn down the possibility of a future like that for yourself, if there's any chance at all it could happen.There's so much money to be made, by owners, investors, advertisers and all the other businesses associated with the professional games. Eighteen billion is a lot of incentive to keep it all going.I'll be interested to see the public response to the upcoming flag football Pro game, with the Manning brothers coaching. I imagine that people would continue to watch and support football, even if it wasn't a slugfest.

The bit about money and media speaks to the basic problem R's face, but it's both simpler and more intractable than indicated.In a pattern going back millennia, the founding fathers created a plutocracy that fell victim to a burgeoning population of, well, uneducated rural populists eager to escape the vast inequality the founders engineered into the system. By grabbing these voters the D's overwhelmed the Whigs but found themselves on the losing side of the Civil War, unable to break their bond with Southern oligarchs or Jim Crow. The R's latched onto the new oligarchs, the Northern industrialists, who manipulated their workers using racial/ethnic/military divide-and-conquer tactics not all that different from their Southern counterparts (see: US Labor Movement, Coal Wars).A century after the Civil War the D's finally saw the writing on the wall and LBJ brought both parties together long enough to pass civil rights legislation, ensuring that Southern oligarchs and white Christian nationalists (not fig-leaf "ethnonationalists," Ezra) jumped ship to the R's, who welcomed this cancer with open arms. Unable to muster the brains & will to follow the evolution of D's by providing true leadership on the hard work of achieving grudging policy compromises for 330 million people, the R's now rely on bread and circuses to protect their Roman, er, American plutocrats.If we want to avoid the Roman Empire's fate (see: Visigoths), we need 2 parties committed to democracy, not just 1.

Billions wasted on contracts during COVID to mates of politicians who had no previous record within the medical industry. Billions lost due to Liz Truss in her few weeks as prime minister with her fiscal event. A vanity project high speed railway, 120 billion for a project that already has failed. I think the coronation is peanuts and at least brings some joy. The ineptitude of our government knows no bounds, or budget. I regularly buy food for food banks, and yes there are many who dodge their tax and responsibly. Just look at our ex chancellor of the exchequer, just coughed up a seven figure fine as a settlement with the tax office he recently oversaw. Tells you everything you need to know about our government. And don’t start me on the own goal of Brexit.

Good, and I hope that Pres. Biden follows through on his demands. To say you're going to make spending cuts without specifying what those cuts will be is utterly ridiculous. It's like someone who brags that tomorrow morning they're going to have $10,000 to put in the bank but who, when pressed, can't explain where the money's coming from. Such a person shouldn't be taken seriously and neither should McCarthy. By far the biggest chunks of the federal budget go to defense, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Steep cuts will not be possible if those areas are off limits. If McCarthy wants to make substantial cuts in those areas then we deserve to know that. If he doesn't want to make cuts in those areas then it's all just talk.

Sorry but the author's advice to the laid-off banker is extremely weak. Banker - if you're reading, here's what you do: you get an employment lawyer to communicate with the company on your behalf. You explore all possible options for litigation, and use that leverage to negotiate for your bonus payment (this is assuming there is a bonus available worth negotiating for). A couple of things that many don't understand: 1) you don't *have* to accept an employer's terms in a severance letter -- you can attempt to negotiate. In reality the cost of litigation -- even if the company prevails -- will far outstrip the amount an employee seeks, so they will often settle. 2) When it comes to bonuses: companies *accrue* bonus payments on their financial statements as part of normal budgeting. So while the one-time cash hit of paying your bonus may annoy a company (a large bank would hardly notice) the reality is they've already planned to pay out those monies as part of their normal financial forecast. That is often *not* the case with litigation tied to large layoffs (which obviously were not planned in advance - or budgeted). So when it comes to the impact to the bottom line, it's easier to pay out the thing the company already planned to pay out (a bonus, e.g.) than to take on the cost of litigation, which can wreck a forecast. Lastly, you needn't do any of this publicly; so you can make the employer pay with limited reputational risk to yourself and your job hunt. Good luck.

Not really matchmaking service but a couple of elder women in my extended families find love much later in life after being widowed by active participation in their communities social events (cardgame parties, religious affiliation, hobby clubs and volunteering). Some of them have health issues since the beginning.

"A public ledger does have inherent value..."What value?Blockchain is simply a crowdsourced ledger. Participants are paid in that system's crypto currency whenever their computer issues/records a receipt/transaction for the ledger. Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and 14,000+ other systems exist.There are costs to those who participate in a crowdsourced ledger (the blockchain). What happens when the costs outweigh the benefit? This has already happened.Today, the blockchain crowdsourcing is largely in the hands of investors and corporatists who have the capital to invest in warehouses full of specialized computing units designed to run the complex algorithmic processes. A single unit costs around $12,000 that last time I checked.When this is predominately the case, is the ledger really crowdsourced? And what is the value you insist exists in crowdsourced ledger keeping? Is it supposed to provide more security? The countless hacks that have happened and continue to happen show this to be false. What else could there be? Multiple people watching? First of all, see previous paragraph. Second, the people participating in this process do not understand it and do not care. They are in it as long as the system pays them in crypto in ways that are beneficial. Once that ends, so will their participation. The same goes for the corporate interests, too.And finally, the good professor was not explaining how the blockchain software works. He was explaining its economic decline.

Peter Kalmus I agree with you on your scientific analysis. However, if we stopped using fossil fuels today, untold billions would also die from starvation, as essential agriculture and transportation would cease. Further, trillions upon trillions of dollars of capital infrastructure would become useless. Therefore, we must outline an economically viable plan for drastically reducing fossil fuels in industry, agriculture, and transportation. And we have to get buy-in from the capital holders that are invested in the fossil fuel industry for such a transition. This is actually the work of saving the planet, maybe more so than getting loud at a conference of peers.

The connection between the First and Second amendments is a crucial one. Based on the British rule that sparked the Declaration of Independence the Second amendment was originally intended to reinforce the First by making militias in a federal system the priority for national defense rather than a national army having the potential of becoming a tool for tyrants. It comes after the First amendment, the guarantee of free speech, and the ranking is significant. I agree that open carry inhibits free speech. A conveniently carried and displayed weapon says, in effect, that the bearer demands respect because of an implicit willingness to use the weapon as the ultimate means to enforce an opinion not tenable by discussion or subject to compromise. This is precisely the sort of tyranny that the First Amendment—and, originally, the Second—sought to prevent. Open carry is NOT about self-defense. At its core it is about intimidation and a demand for respect that cannot be earned by normal means.

I have never been a fan of the super ambitious people who seem to work all the time. When I was a teenager, many years ago, I was criticized by many family members, adults in my community and the prevailing culture at large, about my 'work ethic'. How I knew that they were mostly wrong about the futility of 'working for the man' at such an early age, I can only guess. Maybe it was the massive amounts of cannabis I ingested as a teenager that opened my eyes to what I saw in the adult world around me... mainly that most adults I knew worked, were miserable, underpaid and usually, had some sort of adversarial relationship with work.Why would I adopt a work ethic like they had? None of them were 'getting ahead', many of them seemed like all they had time to do was work. Where was the life in that? Why would I join that sort of dysfunction?Most of my 20s were spent avoiding work altogether. Trying new things, albeit devoid of knowledge or resources to support my creative notions, I developed a strong sense that what everyone seemed to be doing re: work was destructive and not for me.After needing to start earning a 'real' income once I met a partner I truly loved, I resigned myself to entering the 'real world' job circus. I never stayed at any job where I did not feel respected, well compensated or fulfilled. My lack of a 'work ethic' actually saved my health in the long term and provided me the arrogance to say 'enough' when my job wasn't perfect. Be different.

CA Governor Newsom passed a similar gun law in response to the TX vigilante abortion law: “SB 1327, allows Californians to sue those making, selling, transporting or distributing illegal assault weapons or ghost guns for at least $10,000 in damages. Gun dealers who illegally sell firearms to those under the age of 21 could also be liable for the same damages.” (From ABC news) A woman would first have to have the right to an abortion in that state’s constitution in order to be allowed to sue for denying her that right. So it wouldn’t work where abortion is illegal, but could be effective against the “crisis clinics” and anyone targeting abortion doctors or pro-choice organizations in legal states.

Billy WalkerWhile I agree consumerism is responsible for a lot of societal ills, this person doesn't work in retail. He works in a vital job. He is no different than those who work in hospitals, nursing homes, police forces, firemen, EMTs, utility workers, HVAC servicemen and other necessary industries that serve the public. You don't need to buy a car on Sunday, but you do need your prescription Eliquis that may only be available, due to insurance constraints, by mail. You might not need to buy a pair of shoes on Sunday, but if your heat goes out in the dead of winter you can't wait until Monday to get it fixed. Your heart attack won't wait until the hospital is open. Your burning house won't wait, your medical attention won't wait if involved in a car accident on Sunday. Your mother can't go without nursing home care on the Sabbath. My husband worked in HVAC his entire life. As a Catholic he worked many Christmases, Easters and countless Sundays. It was part of the job requirement and all were expected to share the burden of being available for emergency on these religious holidays as well as the Sabbath. What happens if every worker wants Sunday off for religious reasons? Where is the line drawn? Close down hospitals on Sunday? Fire departments? Police? Send nursing home residents home for the weekend and religious holidays? As others have stated if this litigant doesn't like the work schedule he's completely within his rights to find another job.

Sally -- The photo of Marjorie and Kevin is a clear example of "one picture is worth a thousand words."Whether McCarthy is trying to get Marjorie Tayor Greene's support, or if he absolutely agrees with every conspiracy theory she shares, the optics are not good, nor is McCarthy's drive for power at any cost.This is the man who supported George Santos, labeled a "serial liar" by "The Guardian.uk", just so he could get Santos' vote to be House Speaker.If McCarthy had proposals wanted by Americans, he might have captured enough bi-partisan votes to win the Speakership..But his Republican party and his fealty is to conspiracy theorists, prevaricators, misogynists, power-seekers whose agendas are driven by those who think Democrats eat babies, by those who cater to their big donors--Big Oil, Big Chemistry, Big Pharma, and by those who refuse to separate Church from State by supporting anti-abortionists.Those people are who he caters to, not the majority of Americans.

Bill House vacancies are managed differently than Senate vacancies. If Santos resigns, the open House seat would be filled through a special election, not by an interim appointment made by the state's governor. If one of New York's two U.S. senators were to resign or otherwise not be able to hold the job (owing to indictment, illness or death), then yes, the democratic governor would replace them with an interim appointment, almost certainly a democrat.

Paul There is some truth to what you write. I think Australia is a good country to compare with the United States; similar income level and housing density/demographics etc. They largely kept the virus out until after everyone (willing) was vaccinated. Their COVID-19 death rate is 680/100K as opposed to 3360/100K for the United States. Now definitions of died from/with COVID, etc may vary slightly so no comparison is perfect. However it seems reasonable to say that between 1/5 and 1/4 as many people died (per capita) thanks to Australia keeping the virus out prior to vaccination. This did not require a lockdown so their economy (other than travel) was largely unaffected. It required quick action and tough enforcement of the quarantine rules. Controversial here - remember Trump's 'China travel ban'? In hindsight a travel ban (universal) with strict quarantine could have worked early on... This was possible earlier though with less infectious variants, not sure it would be possible with omicron, I think the virus got too infectious (R0>20 now!)... But yes you are right the answer requires balance.

Altman & Sons, where one could spend an entire day shopping for clothing, small antique furniture, autographs and signed papers of famous people, dining, writing letters or studying or changing outfits for an evening at the theater in the ladies' lounge, was decorated so like a British private club with gorgeous mahogany wall panels, elaborately brocaded window treatments and upholstered sofas and wing chairs, Chippendale chairs at Queen Anne desks with magnificent Chinese export vases filled with such lovely flowers to sit at while waiting for a sales man or woman to write up an order.... Definitely English atmosphere but in New York. And Altman's was definitely an "emporium" rather than merely a big store. From late November through mid-January it was filled with literally hundreds of enormous green wreaths with their red velvet bows and holly berries and a forest of 20-30 foot live trees aglow with decorative balls and ornaments. A true Victorian wonderland.... Complemented, of course, by the magical, decorated windows outside.But now I must ask--Is the Dutch Girl a Joycean scholar, married to a Leopold perhaps, or originally from the Isle of Rhodes??Best,Elissa [If I used a nom de plume, it would of course be "Dido" or "Phoenissa"]

I’ve thought about how I would escape from every single classroom in my school. Whether or not the windows would break. If a shooter came in, where would I hide? How many people would fit behind the furniture, and who would be left out in the open? I wonder if I would be able to sprint fast enough. If hiding would do anything at all. If I heard gunshots from this side of the school, which hallways would I use? I have a pre-written message for my family and friends so that if I were ever in a situation like that, I could say goodbye. I cannot comprehend how many people would rather have an America with unfettered access to guns than an America without slaughtered children. It makes me sick. My generation has grown up with lockdown drills alongside fire drills. I remember being in first grade hiding against the wall, looking at my new water bottle, and wondering if my mother would have to come and pick it up if I were shot at school. None of us should have to live like this.

TeresaGuess you like playing with fire and taking chances, huh?Even in Oregon, I’d imagine it’s a pretty good idea to pay the few thousand dollars it costs to hire a lawyer to review and, if necessary shape, a purchase agreement so that your investment (or sale) is protected.In NYC, buying and selling property is a whole other beast, especially if you’re talking about a coop. I assume your comment means you don’t actually know what that is. When you “buy” an apartment in a coop, you’re actually buying the right to live there, not the physical property itself. The physical property is owned collectively by all the other residents in the form of shares. These shares entitle the owners to reside in the property and to have a voice in any decisions affecting the property, from repairs to the buying and selling of shares. I don’t know anyone who’s be crazy enough to take than on alone, especially when millions of dollars are at stake.

The loons – five extant species and many prehistoric extinct species – comprise one of the oldest bird families, with fossil records indicating that loons have existed for about 70 million years. This is why loons are always found in the first few pages of birding guides, which are arranged in taxonomic order.Loons live only in the Northern Hemisphere, breeding on freshwater lakes and wintering on the oceans. They feed on small fish and invertebrates, finding prey by sight (and hence needing clear, clean water). They dive up to 250 feet, where they “fly” on half-opened wings and propel themselves with strong webbed feet, which are set so far back on their bodies (like a boat propeller) that they cannot walk on land.Because they cannot walk, they must build their nests at or near the water’s edge. Human development of northern lakes and ponds has destroyed much critical loon habitat.Unlike most other birds, loons have solid bones; this makes it easier for them to dive, but harder for them to take off from the water. While ducks and geese can spring into the air, loons must “run” along the surface in order to take off.The name “loon” has several possible derivations. It may come from the Old English “lumme” (lummox, awkward person), or Scandinavian “lum” (lame), both referring to the inability of the bird to walk. Other sources favor the Norwegian “lom” (from Old Norse lómr, lament), invoking the bird’s distinctive wailing calls. (In Britain, loons are known as divers.)

Tom, I agree with fiscal responsibility but the party that gets there is the Democratic party. Here are the numbers: Reagan took the deficit from $70B to $170B; first Bush took it to $300B; Clinton took it to zero; second Bush ran it up to $1.2T ! Obama halved it to $600B. Trump took it back to a trillion. Biden has had it continue to climb. None of these are truly meaningful without context, like Biden inherited a growing deficit and a pandemic that needed attention to keep people and the economy afloat, but at the top level it should be pointed out that Democrats are the part of fiscal responsibility. Now if you want to disagree about what the spending goes for and if someone wants to pitch trickle down for the umpteenth time, that's a different discussion. But personally I would never trust a Republican administration to lower the deficit and therefor do anything good for the debt (which is the real problem). Carville and by association Clinton was right when they said "It's the economy stupid" but there's a lot of Republican myth busting to do to get back to that.

"content": "Tom, I agree with fiscal responsibility but the party that gets there is the Democratic party. Here are the numbers: Reagan took the deficit from $70B to $170B; first Bush took it to $300B; Clinton took it to zero; second Bush ran it up to $1.2T ! Obama halved it to $600B. Trump took it back to a trillion. Biden has had it continue to climb. None of these are truly meaningful without context, like Biden inherited a growing deficit and a pandemic that needed attention to keep people and the economy afloat, but at the top level it should be pointed out that Democrats are the part of fiscal responsibility. Now if you want to disagree about what the spending goes for and if someone wants to pitch trickle down for the umpteenth time, that's a different discussion.

They are the wealthiest - and keep telling the rest of us that WE should be overjoyed to live in the wealthiest nation.If we were the wealthiest nation - we wouldn't have a national debt of $30 trillion - for which we paid interest of $352 billion in 2021, and $475 billion in 2022.I'm 84.

Jan If you follow this industry they are far beyond poor. Carnival Corporation for instance had debt of about $9 billion back 5 years ago. Today? A bit more than $28 billion, a 300% increase. The story is similar for the other major players and probably worse for the smaller lines.With rising rates these debt problems will only get worse.The major lines are headquartered outside the US for tax purposes. This came back to bite them since as non-US firms they were not eligible for any pandemic related government charity.

One of the very first things we can do is find a way to prevent developers of AI applications like ChatGPT from using our writing, our art, our music, in training their systems. When we post our writing, none of us ever imagined it would be used for something like this. The developers of ChatGPT and other intelligent applications that train on open content are stealing from us. There is already a move among artists to find ways to make their images offlimits - the rest of us need that capability too.

Germany and Russia spent centuries partitioning, exploiting, or destroying the countries between them, disdainfully referred to in German as “inzwischenlander” or “in the meantime lands”. In 1939, the two signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, agreeing not to attack one another and to divide Eastern Europe. But Hitler double-crossed Stalin and, after World War II ended in 1945, East Germany and the “meantime lands” became Russian-controlled. In 1980, Poland was the first to stand up to Moscow and by 1989 the Iron Curtain was demolished. In 1992, Ukraine and all Soviet republics were liberated but Russia re-invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. Today the United States leads the effort to defeat Putin, and is joined by Europe’s “meantime lands” politically. Led by Poland, they have taken in millions of Ukrainian refugees and opened their treasuries to provide military aid. As a result, the moral leadership and backbone of Europe has shifted from Berlin and Paris to Warsaw and an embattled Kyiv. Jan. 26 Substack

Ah, Ms Conway, the self-appointed Trump-Whisperer who still glows with the orange radioactivity shed by her former boss, the effects of which continue to foul her cognition. The Presidential election of 2020 was hardly a "cage match re-match" with the sporting give & take that implies. Rather it was a 7 million vote thrashing out there behind the woodshed visited upon a blustering foolhardy sitting President by a sly old Washington warrior. Conway has always viewed Trump as the most magnetic guy in the room, so that's not changed; but here's the deal: Joe Biden should hope Trump runs in 2024. What was a huge win for Joe the first go-around would certainly expand. And Trump as a third party candidate would add frosting to that Joe Biden gift cake.

Ulyssesnoman In addition, demographic shifts favor spending as Millenials enter prime parenthood and earning years, the demand for housing, and the accoutrements of a middle class life is larger than any point in the past 40 years. Millenials as a generational population are earning less than previous generations but Babyboomers and GenX are also transferring their own wealth earlier and in a more controlled manner than previous generations.Anecdotally, every middle class Millenial I know is benefiting from some type of wealth transfer from their parents or grandparents which is offsetting their generationally lower earnings despite having more college degrees than previous generations. Millenials from poor families are not getting that wealth transfer and about half are on a downward spiral but the other half are working hard and trying to improve their economic situation, the current increase in wages is a huge boost for them, even if inflation eats into it- so long as inflation decreases, a +10% boost in earnings early in their career translates into nearly +20% lifetime earnings as each future raise is proportionally slightly larger.

I mean for any type of manufacturing. I know it is an overly simplified point of view. As I see it, you have geographies within the US, that have high unemployment, tons of human capital and where you can cheaply and easily transport raw materials and finished goods via rail. If we’re going to spend $200B on semi conductors I’m sure if you allocate a few Bil on this we could get somewhere? Wouldn’t it be great if my great grandkids generation think of the Lakota the best solid state manufacturers in the world!

Hearty congratulations to Novak Djokovic for winning the 10th Australian open in 2023, an International Tennis tournament despite being unfairly deprived of an opportunity to win the Australian open last year for a possible 10th time. Novak is not just a greatest Tennis player of the decade. He is a fighter for justice and principles and the showed the error of the ways of the Australian political kangaroo court last year. The then prime minister of Australia Morrison lost his election soon after denying Novak his right to play last year. There was no science to justify preventing Novak from playing in 2022 when he already had the real thing (COVID) and did not need the vaccine to survive sunbequent infection. We now know that in 2022 those with vaccine neither were protected 100% from exposure nor from infection and spread.
