The irony is so thick it could cook a pancake...or crepes...now im hungry.

Well, I am also in favor of a national sales tax. This is no different with the exception that a tariff provides a competitive advantage to domestic production. I don't have time to go into all the reasons and data that shows how the Biden economy was flimsy. Just note that most of the gains Biden claimed were a result of the lock downs ending and most of the stock market gains were a result of inflationary pressure and most of the GDP and job increases came from government spending. Even wage growth looked great until you compared it to inflation. Look at the savings rates for families. Thats a great indicator of how poorly they were doing. The savings to debt ratio under Biden ballooned.

FoxNew (America's most trusted news source) EXCLUSIVE: U.S. intelligence had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump-Russia collusion narrative—before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe, sources familiar with the intel told Fox News Digital. CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to declassify the underlying intelligence, including a classified annex, related to former Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. A source familiar with the contents of the classified annex told Fox News Digital that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant, with the benefit of hindsight, it predicted the FBI’s next move "with alarming specificity." ‐--------------‐---------------- Watergate is starting to look like a parking ticket scandal co.pared to this.

I posted the actual date from the article. 2. Yes. Less profit means less money to build the next project. This isn't hard. And prek student could get that.

Wow. You didnt just move the goal posts you changed the whole game. And then left out massive inflation that negates almost everything. We've been harping on this since the Clinton tax hikes. If you didnt know that, where have you been? You really need to read up on how consumer pricing works. I've explained it Except, Trump's policies began as great comeback (with the exception of the covid dip), that was reversed by Biden. You can say it ain't coming back, but the reality and the data betray you: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/manemp

That sounds like a government caused problem to me. Maybe you should vote differently? Less profit? Then how would they have the operating capital to start their next project? Ugh... no...not necessarily. I wrote up a long post about this. Here

Greater demand without a subsequent increase in supply will cause increased prices to consumers. Those are undeniable laws of economics. I gave you examples of what we are doing to improve our housing issues. Canada has vast expanses of land. Build on that. That will drop prices. Do what it takes to make it easier and more affordable for builders to build on new land. It's a long term fix. Until then, lower interest rates to make homes more affordable.

So? We pay for his plumbing too. So I'm literally paying for him to take a shit. What's your point? Do you really want to go there less than 6 months after Biden? He spent four years faking legal charges to distract people from how bad his admin was and how bad his corruption was. But yeah, let's worry about Trump playing golf on his own course. Yes. I love how the left has finally started to realize that taxes are paid by the end user. For example, I don't pay income taxes. The company I work for pays those. But they don't really pay my taxes, our customers pay that through the fees we collect. The end user pays all taxes. That isn't always true. A lot of people repeat this talking point. The reality is, the market place sets the price to the consumer. If a tariff is added to the cost to do business it could increase the cost of goods. However, whether or not the cost of the goods or services provided increases depends on the price elasticity and competition. Tariffs are an uneven tax that favors domestic production over international production. Short term, there might be some price increases. Long term, tariffs favor increased domestic jobs. As for inflation, let's say (for argument's sake) that 100% of the tariffs result in increased prices to consumers. If it did, that would mean that approximately 14% of consumption would increase. If we assume a flat rate of 15% for all tariffs (for the sake of simplicity and illustration) imports would account for 16.1% of the GDP. Given a $27.7T GDP, the total cost to consumers would be about 0.2%. The math does not support tariffs causing massive inflation. Imports 2023 GDP

Price to consumers does not equal cost to build.

That might be true. It probably is true. But it addresses the now need. There are other steps being taken to help with housing. Deportations are helping. The EPA is taking steps to make new home and apartment starts easier. We need to address the forced low income housing builds, that is raising costs for everyone. I think HHS is on that already. It may need legislation though. Point is, interest rates are the short term fix while long term solutions are being put in place.

Why do you lie when it is so easy to disprove? https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/news/president-donald-trump-explains-why-he-kicked-jeffrey-epstein-out-of-mar-a-lago/vi-AA1JrPPt

Trump is coercing the Media! 2 years earlier: The lawsuit accused administration officials of coercing platforms into taking down controversial content including election fraud, the FBI's handling of Hunter Biden's laptop and the COVID pandemic. The 5th Circuit panel found that the White House coerced the platforms through “intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences” and commandeered the decision-making processes of social media companies, particularly in handling pandemic-related and 2020 election posts.

So you believe Biden was accepting bribes, through his family, for government favors? Because there is a lot more evidence that was happening.

Nope: "Published Wed, Jul 30 20258:30 AM EDTUpdated 3 Hours Ago" Housing is slowing.

Maybe this? FoxNews Patel found thousands of sensitive Trump–Russia probe docs inside 'burn bags' in secret room at FBI FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over the documents to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley

We are selling Treasury Bonds regardless of what the Fed Reserve rate is. At least, with Treasury Bonds, we are using the money to fund the government. With the reserve, we pay them to put money where it goes unused. It is doing nothing for the government. It is doing nothing for the economy. It is just sitting there.

https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1949125573055332672?t=csCzzeS4whgCEeLPczNX0A&s=19 I don't like to do speculation, but this Tweet/post (still not sure what they are since the name change) is getting a lot of attention. Specifically, people are asking what could shake Bongino to the core and change him forever? He was formerly a Secret Service agent. So he's seen how DC works. What could he have uncovered that was so awful that it caused him to Tweet that? And, I have to believe Kash approved that Tweet.

Trump literally said that he initially stopped associating with Epstein because he kept stealing staff.

He was there to sign the deal. He played golf because he was there. Why does that seem like such an awful thing? Obama played a ton of golf too as well as multiple trips to Hawaii. Bush went to the Southern White House almost every weekend. Presidential travel is normal. The hacks always try to make a thing out of it. It is a stupid distraction. I'd rather talk about the deal, removing the federal reserve interest rate, fixing the poker loop hole from the BBB, putting Epstein to rest, and just how f'd up it was the Obama faked intelligence to screw woth Trump.

Do you think you should be calling me an idıot when you cite a problem that happened in the first year of this policy?

I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $500.

No one said it wasn't. This isn't about private funding. This is about public funding. A bill, passed by the house and senate and signed by the POTUS is the definition of a legal. Judges don't get to decide what or who the government funds and yes the government can pick and choose who they fund based on services provided.

Man...you just proved him right. Plus, the BBB cut Medicaid spending to PP. That fact was in the OP.

Cite the section of the Constitution that says they can't.

Judges cannot block funding, or lack thereof, in a bill. This judge should be removed from office. If she cant follow the law she can't be a judge.
