With Trump and the CBO they both should be toxic enough to turn it blue. Dems need a substantial win BAD to shove it in Ryan/Trump's faces. A loss is still a loss

Also, you know Sir Chokes-a-lot has to defend his seat in 2018, right? He gets to do this poo poo again in 6 months with actual governance in this Congress under his belt. Win or lose this is a shiving.

He also gains incumbent advantage where baring him leaving he's probably staying. Look at Walorski in my district. Hasn't met with us in years and still wins despite being extremely unpopular. Name recognition alone is enough for him now to coast

you have something good. go hug your loving kid. you are no good to anyone if you are a weepy loathsome mess. leave this thread and do something to affect positive change. you have a lot more influence on your kid than uh, a politician

I would but she just went down so I plan to go to sleep as well now. I have work tomorrow and a three day weekend with my wife and kid so I will do what we can to enjoy that.

My baby and my Goony wife truly are the biggest bright spots in my life right now and when my baby smiles and laughs it does make the poo poo going on around me melt away for a bit. Today though I didn't get to see her much due to work and other obligations. Came home to this news and yeah it caused me to crash.

I will still resist and still fight for her future but for now I will rest.

As much as it pleases me that France avoided Le Penn, Britain still did Brexit, a quick look at loving Hungary's actions lately, the most likely fall of Merkel to right wing parties, and the overall tribal nationalism on the rise in many country's and tell me the US is the only one to blame.

I will fight to make this country better but don't sit there and claim that the US is the only one loving up. I still pray that we drag he GOP in 2018 to make them pay for Trump's rise

I feel like pegging minimum wage to inflation is a recipe for a crisis. When, not if, but when we enter a period of stagflation (stagnation and inflation) and we see nasty inflation like we did in the Carter era for example (15%) you'll see wages rise uncontrollably with inflation and when it picks up steam and the minimum wage raises and picks up people making just over it and so on and so forth you can see a nasty negative feedback loop until it stabilizes. If it stabilizes.

Not raising wages when they can reasonably be raised is a bad thing, but pegging wages to inflation is asking for trouble on a long enough timeline.

That is true... has any country done something similar to see a real world example? Just curious

If labor gets any more seats they won't have any teeth to gnaw their legs off either. Conservatives may still have more seats then Labour but this wound of losing so many seats in a gambit to shore up a strong majority is just completely unreal. May is so hosed right now
