Cut Entitlements

 To Match What People Paid for.  That is what I support.

2033 / 4 is coming quick...  Trust funds will be broke and FICA contributions will only pay 75% of what people are receiving.

Not sure what Trump wants to cut?

Weakened Don't Say Gay Law!!!

Florida settlement guts bad law   Thank Heavens !!!

Banning books and ignoring the needs of kids who are possibly LGBTQ was terrible...

And this was in the USA... So sad.  

I thought the GOP was for small government and local control.  Such hypocrites. :-(

Humanity

When does a human become "human / sentient / get a soul"?

I had a long exchange of views with a Pro-Choice person who was adamant that abortions should be totally at the discretion of the Mother right up to full term.  To do otherwise was apparently a slippery slope towards the Handsmaid Tale. I disagree with her. 

I agree with the majority of Americans who think first trimester abortions are acceptable, and second trimesters are not. 

Personally, I would prefer to make birth control free and readily available so abortions would not be needed at all.

She kept trying to get me to explain why I believe ~15 weeks is human and 14.9 is not.  I acknowledged that I do not know the magic number and said that in a democracy, society gets to solve this.  That apparently was not a reasonable answer.

So I asked her the question noted above...  She was unwilling to answer me.

Why do the Left and Right have to be so inflexible / crazy? Thoughts?

SCOTUS Wasting Time

to help Trump?  Would an innocent man protests so much?

And the documents case should not be delayed, he was not President when he refused to give back the documents.

And if he is a good rich law abiding citizen, why is he not paying his fines?

And who would go into business with Trump? Another law suit added to the list.

Fake Elector Duped

 by Trump Administration. Now agrees Trump is crooked.

See more on 60 Minutes.  

Why do Trump cult members still support the tax cheating, woman abusing, crook?

I will never understand.

What caused Inflation?

 "Ultimately, as many have recognized, the inflation largely reflected strong aggregate demand, the product of easy fiscal and monetary policies, excess savings accumulated during the pandemic, and the reopening of locked-down economies. 

Another source.

In summary:

  • Tax Cuts and Stimulous Programs increased savings 
  • Trump acts borrowed $8.4 Trillion, Biden also spent a few Trillion...
  • Fed Banks kept rates too low for too long
  • Companies slowed down during Pandemic
  • People started spending faster than production could ramp up
  • Prices went up...
Then the Fed Banks FINALLY raised rates, people started to spend down their savings, US Govt cut spending and the price increases slowed.  No magic here...
