President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Tough shit. Not everything HAS TO BEto help the poor. How about sliding a piece of pie to the children of the middle class taxpayers, who grow up to be middle Class tax payers. The folks who pay the sales taxes, property taxes and local, state and federal income taxes. All they want is goo schools for their kids, good police who protect them, good fire departments and a few parks and Recs programs.

 

We’re simply “too big to fail!”
Am I doing that right?
I mean, that was the narrative I was fed with Wall Street.
Auto companies (Chrysler was so good they did it twice).
Pretty much any big business.
Shit, when I worked for Lean Dean he managed to announce the company filing for bankruptcy and fly in on his private plane in the same week. That’s some brass ones right there.

 

Quite the thread on GRU infiltration operations.

 

It's so broad a definition of "regressive" as to be meaningless. I'm too poor to own a car and yet my money goes to the Interstate Highway System? And for tax breaks to niddle-class families so they can have kids? And to wealthy farmers? etc. etc.

Working class people go to college. They have debt as well, as that article pointed out. (Unless they're using their Pell grants to party or whatever.) So it's not all middle-class folks who are going to be helped.

Also.... I'm sure you can say this about a lot of opinion pieces in the Post but maybe if Amazon paid its fair share of taxes, there'd be more money to go around.

 

And still, nothing will happen.

 

Suck it up, snowflake.

 

The specific type of locks and the specific types of safes (let alone specifications for the rooms) to house TS/SCI information is very clear, if only SOMEONE on the Trump team had paid attention to any one of the numerous security briefings I'm certain they were required to take.

 

As the WSJ pointed out, one mistake doesn't justify another. Address the actual merits of this program.

 

I am not going to argue the economics of Biden's decision, that seems to be in other fine hands. I'll stick to the raw politics. This was a Biden campaign promise. He pretty much had to keep it in some way. He promised, and people may pretend to be cynical, but they get pretty mad when a pol doesn't keep his promise to them.
