i don't understand budgeting for clothes

like, just buy new clothes when the old ones break or something

maybe i'm a dirty poor, but sometimes i go several years just buying like 2 or 3 pairs of jeans and some shirts

if you have growing children then some budgeting is necessary, you don't have to buy everything new but you are constantly upgrading their wardrobe and there are predictable costs

i'm reading up on Yarmuth and he seems like a pretty cool dude

quote:

Yarmuth took office on January 3, 2007. As of 2016, he is serving his fifth term as Congressman.

After his first year in Congress, Yarmuth donated his post-tax congressional salary of just over $120,000 to various charities in Louisville.[3]

On February 8, 2008, Yarmuth endorsed Barack Obama in his bid for the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States.[4]

On September 29, 2008, Yarmuth voted against the TARP bailout plan, as negotiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, President George W. Bush, House Minority Leader John Boehner, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.[5] However, he did vote in favor of the second version of the bailout bill.[6]

Yarmuth said he was so "nauseated" by a moment of silence for Michael Jackson on the House floor that he left the chamber. "I thought it was outrageous," he said. "In my two and a half years, we've not done this for anybody else. We've done it for former members and that's about it."[7]

After defeating Northup for the second time, Yarmuth was rewarded by the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee with a spot on the influential Ways and Means Committee. On the committee, Yarmuth worked on issues on which he campaigned before the 2008 general election: Social Security, pension, Medicare, and Medicaid issues.

At a September 2009 town hall meeting, constituents were unhappy with Yarmuth's decision to support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. "Yarmuth stayed calm in the face of boos and catcalls from some in the audience" according to an Associated Press report. "He warned that the current health care system is an unsustainable drain on businesses and the nation's economy."[8]

In 2011, Yarmuth introduced a bill alongside Republican Congressman Walter Jones that would seek to overturn key parts of the controversial court case Citizens United v. FEC. The legislation would also give Congress the power to enact mandatory public financing for Congressional candidates and create a national holiday for voting purposes.[9]

In 2011, Yarmuth voted against the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 due to a controversial provision which allows the government and the military to indefinitely detain American citizens and others without trial.[10][11]

In 2013, Yarmuth introduced the Fair Elections Now Act, which would establish a public financing system for Congressional campaigns.[12][13]

In 2015, Yarmuth once again made an attempt at removing "dark money" from the political sphere by Proposing HR 2125, the Keeping our Campaigns Honest Act of 2015, however the bill realistically had no chance of passing in the 114th Congress in which it was proposed.[14]

What the gently caress is Ryan gonna do at the White House?
Even if we were to assume that conservative health care reform is a good cause, this is a legislative problem, and worse, Trump is actively bad at anything relevant to this process. He's a narcissist, so he'll sign anything if you fluff him right. Just get the Rs to hash out a plan and have that be that. He. Will. Sign. Whatever

Of course, since the Rs have no real alternative to offer, they're just hosed...
