Big woop. My points the trumpers like it because it fucks over poor people. Poor people are bad for whatever reason. Especially poor, sickly kids.

We make good money but not enough to really benefit hugely from the tax breaks they're talking about, and every day we see people utterly crushed by poverty. Every single goddamned day. I'm a big fan of keeping whatever part of my paycheck I can, mind you, and yet it is just so loving transparently clear to me that taking just a little bit of my income away has no appreciable effect on my quality of life but can make a huge difference in someone else's. But apparently that's just goddamned theft to the other docs who never took a handout from the government in their lives (went to public school, got federal financial aid for college and medical school, worked as resident physician whose salary was dependent on Medicaid dollars ...).

Those few extra bucks which go to food or health care so someone can buy something else. It's like tax dollars spent on generic welfare create jobs or something.

Majorian posted:I don't think this is true. Their breakout ability is huge, but their stockpile is almost certainly where estimates put it. Yeah, except we don't know for sure, and it's a "Schrodinger's Nuke" situation regardless. Believe they have 200-400 warheads, or more/less. The only way to find out for sure is to count the bombs, missiles, and MIRVs during their deployment, because it certainly wouldn't be beneath China to hide warheads. Still doesn't change the fact that they're definitely looking into building more warheads in the next 20-30 years. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Jun 25, 2017 |

When ARE we going to find out about Trump's supposed tapes anyway? I'd hope to karmic forces that Trump gets kicked out of office before September.

This would make an interesting study. Do a score of how much the AHCA will cost an official state like, say, Alabama, vs how much it will give the state in taxes, and staple this information to their Senators' God damned forehead. I'd bet, as your conjecture, most solid red States get their loving asses kicked by this.

You're the target of this legislation, people. It's a few and far between moment when a Republican is greeted with the reality that their ideology is not prosperity/fairness for every one, but a moral stance that hilariously rich people deserve to exist while the other 99% of us, comparatively, have nothing.

Captain Monkey posted:He claimed he didn't create them, I thought not that they patently did not exist. He claimed that he didn't create them or have them. He then went on to claim that, while president, he didn't know if someone ELSE was recording his conversations without his knowledge. What this means is, someone else created them and is keeping them (or recently got rid of them) when it was determined that the contents of the tapes made him look super loving bad. Those tapes absolutely existed and we'll absolutely never get to hear them.

So I heard Jane Sanders inflated the promised donations to secure some loans for her hippy college and her husband made a phone call to help her out, now the Trump DOJ is going to make an example of her just because it rings too close to home for the president and he loves to project.
