No it's not. The percentage of people who are collecting SS is miniscule compared to people who paid into it. If we wouldn't have SS we would be looking at a poverty crisis in this country and probably spend billions in tax dollars. Every civilized country on earth have some kind of social...

I have a Brand NEW extra Leupold Alpine CF-25 Tripod for sale. Asking $250.00 Shipping to lower 48 included. MSRP is $399.00 I sold items on this site before and have references. PayPal or check. Thanks

Hegseth is an as.. licker, nothing more nothing less. He'll do anything including lying to please his boss. He's not qualified for the job as I stated months ago on this forum.

Doesn’t matter who he is. He was heralded by Trump as the savior of the country. How can someone get this low let alone a president is beyond me.

This is the least of our worries right now.

Dumb and dumber.

Agreed. Trump is trying to lessen the damage caused by his tariffs.

Of course you'll pay more when you make more. All this graph tells me more than 1/4th of the income in the US is earned by the top %1, which is terrible for the future of the country. Who in their right mind would find this kind of income disparity normal? Go back couple decades when single...

What can? This country had a balanced budget during Clinton years. The biggest reason for our deficit is cutting taxes for the highest income levels and trying to create a top down economic incentive model which didn’t work as you can clearly see from the stats @Redleg wrote. This dumb approach...

It’s hard to argue with you when you say things like high interest rates and high inflation caused recession. The reason for high interest rates is to curb inflation because inflation can cause recession when demand slows.

Trump started to hear from Republican senators today. I would advise to go and read what Ted Cruz his staunch supporter said.

I asked why we are having a recession? The one you mentioned was Covid related. I tell you why, for no reason because of stupidity. Also you realize every recession adds trillions to national debt right?

Way to doom and gloom?? You didn’t see the doom and gloom yet. Can you also explain why we are having a recession with %4 employment rate and how we will come out of it?

Who? Millions because the averages tells you so. Are you telling me millions are wrong because some dumbass doesn’t know what he’s doing? Are you blaming people who invested their life savings in mostly American companies? Also do you believe our justice system or you only believe when it...

There’s no plan. He’s just making it up on the go. Captain might go down with the ship along with the crew meaning Republican Party.

You have no idea what’s gonna happen like the administration. You’re just repeating big words like reset to justify the dumbest move in decades. You might be ready to accept pain but this pain might be unbearable for most. You should accept the fact of what is happening right now.

Like in the movie dumb and dumber.

I’m sure MAGA crowd aren’t aware but some Republican senators already started to raise their voices including Ted Cruz.

MAGA crowd here is still trying to defend this dumbest tarıff move in recent history blaming Powell and how it’s going to bring 600 billion etc…. I have news for you a recession which is certain will vipe out trillions in government receipts and our deficit will grow even bigger. Another dumb...

This is the alarm bells ringing. No administration including this one can stand in front of this. They will either change course or there will be an uprising inside the party. Phones are ringing inside the congress offices.

It was almost 1 to 1 5-6 months ago under sleepy Joe also.

Hunted Bubye last July with Pete Fick and wrote about it. Read it to have feel for the area if you like.

Another market day like yesterday and this administration will start seeing opposition from its own ranks.

Because US dollar is the World’s reserve currency and nobody but us can print it. They don’t have unlimited amount of dollars like us to import US made products at will. Basically they are trying to curb the demand for their consumers by taxing US products and making them more expensive than...

Business person who has 5 bankruptcies in his past!

There’s one main definition of recession and it’s negative growth. Rest assured there will be recession with these dumb moves coming from the administration.

Hold on to your hats. Recession is here. Tariffs will do nothing to reduce the deficit but will increase the cost of living and recession will offset the benefits for the government receipts expected from the tariffs. Zero sum game which will hurt everyone.

You educate yourself about Putin and get your news from multiple sources instead of Russian sponsored media, I don't have time for that.

You want to build everything here? Be my guest and see how it ends up. I'm sure you're not buying or using anything made here including the parts.

First Trump administration increased the debt $7.8 trillion. What makes you believe he'll do it this time? Tax cuts is not the way to reduce it nor the tariffs. Also, peace is not a one way process nor it's an agreement where one side gets all they want. I guess you don't want to see or...

It will also hit US consumers hard. Even if they build a plant here(which takes years) the cars will cost a lot more. US labor is very expensive compared to where they're built now.

There's nothing to like or dislike about facts. I like when I read an opinion I agree with.

Just wear comfortable boots and earth colored shorts and shirts. Don’t over think.

It's actually sad to see discussions about the law, scotus and justices. Law should be blind and without bias no matter which side of the aisle you're on. Trying to stack the justice system with people partial to your views is wrong and would lead to failure of the system in the wrong run. I...

I said Biden not Democrats.

Average citizen in US is only capable of reading at the 8th grade level. Do you think they'll invest the money if they opt out of SS and Medicare?

Document is not fake but don't know about the content.

Perhaps not is the answer.

Depending on your political views, same can be said for the other side as well.

Biden as terrible he was never mentioned impeachment of federal judges.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/roberts-rebuke-trump-shows-seriousness-concern-white-house/story?id=119921304 This was coming. It's very rare to see a rebuke from Supreme Court but Trump and Elon deserved it with all the talk about impeachment of Judges.

Not anymore. With some high tech exceptions we're only attracting bottom of the barrel.

I know all about the autopen and how and when it should be used. (Meaning I listened and read the people who are experts on the subject) Problem is this is still a rabbit hole and will cause countless law suits for all the autopenned documents in the past. BTW Biden was senile and acted like a...

He did a blanket pardon himself and now going after the Biden's blanket pardons? Why post this if you're not going to pursue? This should never be even discussed regardless who gave the pardons. Next president might question the legality of his pardons as well, we don't want to go to that...

Don't go there. Same thing happened here in US as well. https://eji.org/news/federal-investigation-finds-at-least-973-children-died-in-federal-indian-boarding-schools/

If you go back couple weeks, I expressed my dissatisfaction with him because he's nowhere qualified for the job and just an errand boy. I got flak for it but I stand behind my statement. What a shame!

I'm very well educated on the subject, thank you. We are talking about the current land grab argument here not the history. More than %90+ of the land and %90+ of the wealth still owned by the whites in RSA.

You should be fine. However this bullshit is nothing new. South Africa was in Bricks and all the issues was present during first Trump administration as well.

I'm not an advocate for RSA government or I approve them but you have to educate yourself on the subject. It’s not that simple and there's a white majority party in the coalition right now. There wouldn’t be any white landowner left there if it would be like that and more than %90 of the land...

We don't have any ambassador in SA right now. He resigned after Trump got elected. However Embassy is fully functional and will be without the Ambassador. My son is the Marine attache there and I hope things don’t get complicated.
