Sidenote: not an economist by any means, but isn't a trigger a bad idea? |
They have to ram this tax scam through before the scoring comes out. It will bury our grandchildren in Chinese-owned debt for a generation. |
Yes, I think it will pass. America is screwed. |
I didn't think it would. I didn't think we'd have a shutdown, either.
Da**it. Car just broke down, just replaced two appliances in the kitchen. This is a bad time for a shutdown for us. At least we've already finished the Christmas shopping. |
CBO already scored the House version and said it would add nearly 1.7 trillion to the debt. And, unless you are already rich, it's for no good reason whatsoever. |
Trump loves debt and intends to settle it for pennies on the dollar, remember? |
But don't you get back pay for the days you were off? My friend told me she's looking forward to a vacation. |
I have a feeling we will monetize the debt. |
market also thought Hillary was a slam dunk (as did everyone in the world who didn't live in Russia or wasn't connected to the Kremlin) |
scoring has been out...the R's just don't give a f*ck about anyone or anything anymore. |
They serve the ultra wealthy in this country. |
Congress needs to decide if federal employees get back pay. They always have in the past - but who knows. Federal contractors do not get back pay as far as I understand. |
There is no anti-deficit faction in the Senate. The deficit is just something Senators cluck about when the other side is in control. |
Nope, we can only PTO or if you have none, you get no pay. |
Yup. |
