Joe Biden wants to be FDR, not sure if that is because FDR was president when Biden got into politics? Or if he thinks he even has any of what it takes to be like FDR? The biggest problem is we are in a very different time now then we were back then with the world economy, and the needs of the people. Biden thinks he can create the next "New Deal", handing out money, and controlling the people. Investing in infrastructure is not a bad thing to do, it's better to do it now then when when it is beyond repair and even more costly to do it. The problem is controlling the money and where it goes, everybody has their hands out, most of it goes to the paper pushers, environmentalists, big corporations. Very little is left by the time it trickles down to the actual project, things are much more difficult to do with acquiring property, and somebody always gets the short end of the stick.
His other proposal mostly designed to hand out money to poor people is a terrible idea. If you give a poor person $100k 90% of those people will be worse off with in 2 years then they were before they received that money. Giving people free money just makes them lazy and disrespectful. Look how many people didn't pay rent during the pandemic due to the no evictions mandate. And do you think they saved their money to get a new place? No, they wasted their money and are flat assed broke.
Paying for college for everybody was Bernie Sanders big dream so not sure how Biden got suckered into this student loan forgiveness program? There is all ready relief for those who "attended" fraudulent colleges. The reason I put "attended" in quotes is so much "schooling" is done online now. So if you are "smart" enough to attend college, should you also be "smart" enough to understand if the college is legitimate? Or what you will be able to do with your "degree" after you graduate? This is where the difference between "book smart" and "common sense" comes into play. The school screwed you, so why does the government need to bail you out for that? And why did the government hand out loans for these schools for so long? Biden is also pushing to give $10k in relief to people currently paying their student loans. The thing is for the 2 years of the pandemic they have deferred student loan payments, and in that time 60% of loan holders have not made a single payment. Apparently they don't understand how interest works, or that the over all amount they owe could be much less if they made extra payments. Once again these people knew they wanted to better their education and took loans out to do so, so why are they not making enough money to pay these loans off themselves? Clearly they did not think things thru before making the commitments. They say somebody with a college degree can make a million dollars more in their life then somebody without. But let's say somebody gets a job making $50k right out of high school and works that for the 4 years that someone else is in college, then take the $100k+ that people are borrowing to go to college and the interest over the life of the loan. That puts the guy who goes to work right out of high school over $300k ahead, if he buys a house or invests some of the money from the get go he may be able to equal what a college educated person makes in a lifetime. Maybe something's need to be done to make college more affordable or useful? After all the real beneficiary of these student loans was the college in the first place.
$5 a gallon gas is not the issue, the issue is gas shot up from $2 a gallon to $5 in less than 2 years. They were talking $5 gas 15 years ago, it's just the adjustment period and the fact it affects almost every aspect of our lives. Doing a gas tax holiday would be just stupid, it's only $0.18 a gallon. Releasing reserves in small quantities can be done, but shouldn't be large amounts, or long periods of time. The reason the feds are raising interest rates is to slow spending in hopes of a avoiding a recession. High gas prices along with the price of everything else going up will in the long run also slow spending as people figure out their priorities.
Much of our problems are from every aspect of the government from the local city council all the way up to the President of the United States. Everyone has their hands out for "free money". They have no clue on what goes on on Main Street or how Wall Street works. They think throwing money at something will solve a problem when really it makes it worse. The Democrats are looking for everyway possible to "buy votes" and distract people from what is really going on.
While Biden is trying to be FDR that is still better then Putin who wants to be "Peter the great" and reinvent the "Russian Empire" by starving the world just because he has cancer and wants to leave his mark on the world.

Run Forest, Run!
Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you will get.

I have found girls like Playboy for the articles, and boys like Playboy for the pictures.

I like American football and baseball! But I don't like men. So we probably don't have enough in common.

With midterms coming up I just wonder if the far right conservatives will still be dancing in the streets when they fail to gain seats in the house and Senate? They should of had no problem doing so with gas prices, inflation, and the over all running of the country. However with gun violence on the rise many people want to see gun laws tightened, not loosened. And with 75% of people saying they accept at least some level of abortion, and woman's right to choose. People want more rights, not less rights, this includes the right to safer streets without guns on them. The far right conservatives somehow think they are gaining ground, however they are just shooting themselves in the foot. People on the fence will have a hard decision on which way to turn. Moderate Republicans could go towards Independents which will never win, but will take votes from the Republicans.

If people take the time to actually see what the overturn of the New York gun law consists of may be surprised at what it really says. Some people on here advertise it like anybody can carry a gun either concealed or open carry anytime without a permit. That is far from truth. The NY law that was on the books since 1913, yes, over 100 years on the books, said you had to have "proper cause" to get a permit to carry and just saying it is for "self defence" isn't enough. That is really the only part of the law that was over turned. States can still require a permit to carry, require fingerprints, do a background check, do a mental health check, and require firearm training. They can also still have laws that bans guns in schools, churches, bars, public buildings. Private companies can also ban guns and post signs that no guns allowed. What really gets me is the Federal government that allows you to carry guns also bans guns in federal buildings. They don't care what is good for anybody else, they just care about what is good for them.

Perfect! You can do the dishes and grab beers for me n the guys while we watch football 🤣🤣🤣

No Bart, I am not anti-gun, i used to hunt, went through gun safety as a kid, been on a trap league, and shoot target practice, I do own guns. But I do not see the need for everybody to carry a gun everywhere they go. When was the last time you had a gun pulled on you? When was the last time you got shot? It is a risk and reward system, I do not see the risk being high enough that I need to carry a gun at all times, however if everybody else starts to carry guns around the risk goes up, too many people have short tempers and the ease of access to a gun will be a power trip they can not resist. Maybe we should all start wearing bullet proof vests everywhere too if it is such a danger? May be we should all start wearing PFDs (personal floatation devices) in case we fall into the water and drown? This just gives thugs an easier way to run around with their guns. The liberal prosecutors in big cities have already stopped prosecuting low level gun violations, and they have turned their heads on contact stops such as traffic violations that used to lead to other major offenses or warrant's. So these thugs are still running around on the streets with their guns, or will be out shortly to do so. If you were not so trapped in your box you would see that this ruling favors the liberals that want to keep these dead beats on the streets as much as it affects the conservatives. Same with the anti-abortion, that just means more people on welfare, not that there are not conservatives getting abortions too, they just don't want anybody at church to find out about it, it's all about keeping that image.
I would have had no problem with more people being shot when they stormed the Capital, I also would have liked to have seen more force including guns used during the "social justice", BLM, "civil unrest" or whatever BS term they want for those riots. If somebody is looting or burning a building shoot them. There are those who say "it's just property, it's not worth taking a life over". Well the United States is "just property" and if we are not willing to fight for that property we may as well just hand the keys over to China, Russia, or BLM. I have no problem with defending the country, or myself, I just don't see a reason for many people to run around with loaded guns, that just means we are failing to either put criminals in jail, or get them the help they need.

Most people down south think it's the right to bare arms, that's why they run around in tank tops. The right to keep and bear arms, it does not say firearms or guns. Arms can be any weapon. So now I have the right to carry a sword, a mace, a bomb, a bow, a knife, a taser,or anything else I want? So now anybody and everybody should be allowed to conceal and carry as well as open carry? I will say the same as I say about coronavirus. If you are really that afraid of what might happen when you go out then STAY AT HOME! Do I need to list all the little kids that have shot somebody with their parents unsecured guns? Do I need to list all the people with a permit to carry that have been shot? Do I need to list how many road rage cases have had shots fired? Do I need to list all the stalkers, and domestics? Look at those rednecks in Georgia that shoot Ahmad Aubrey , it was Aubrey's fault he got shot and died, but they didn't need to be running around the streets with guns and now they are spending the rest of their life in prison. What kind of situation does somebody think they are going to use this gun? Are they going to do an old fashion duel? If you got somebody down to the ground with your gun on them you don't think somebody else will shoot you? What if somebody grabs your gun and used it against you? Trust me I have seen the caliber of the population running around these days and they are already dangerous enough without having a gun strapped to them.

I like that everybody goes back to the constitution that was written 250 years ago. Maybe we should go back to throwing out sewage in the streets and letting it run into the river? That is as bad as people whom follow the bible that has been written (by people) over the last 2000 years. Things change over time, if you want to take your black powder and load a ball into your musket then go right ahead. If somebody wants to carry a semi-auto pistol around with them everywhere they go I want to make sure they are not a nut, unfortunately that is easier to say then do. Besides the accidental discharge, how many guns are used in road rage or domestic abuse cases. It's not that I am anti-gun, it's that too many bad people have spoiled it for everyone else. New York and other states can still make it very difficult for people to conceal and carry. Start with 100 hours of firearm training and a $1000 application fee, then charge $1000 a year for renewing the permit every year and gun refresher classes every few years. That would make it so only the people whom are really serious about this would actually do it. If somebody wants to kill one person or a large number of people there are many ways they can go about doing it. They can go buy a gun or two and some bullets, or they can try figuring out how to make some bombs, or the can buy some gas and set things on fire, or they can take their pickup and drive thru a crowd. The list is endless. One problem with legal guns is often they are stolen or sold and become illegal guns. They just busted a couple in my state that was buying guns "legally" and reselling them to people in the ghetto. Inner city gun crimes have skyrocketed over the last couple years, just because somebody is "legally" carrying a gun doesn't mean they won't use it "illegally".

So the SCOTUS takes away the states rights to make gun laws and yet it turns over the right for states to make abortion laws? It is as bad as all these states that have turned their heads to the federal drug laws and legalized marijuana and in some cases more. So is it up to the Federal government to make all the laws? Or is it up to the state government to make all the laws? Or is it something that we can pick and choose for whatever works for us?
I would agree that it is good that some people can carry a weapon, but for MOST people this is just a dumb idea. If you want to carry there are some things to think about. Are u willing to get shot or die? Are you willing to go to prison the rest of your life? Are you prepared to be sued for everything you own? That split second decision can affect the lives of many people and you need to be willing to live with whatever the outcome. Many of the thugs that don't have a record are also going out and getting a conceal and carry, so when the cops stop them they can not take the guns away. In a place like New York city the cops have very strict regulations on when they can use their guns so as others are not caught in the cross fire, yet the criminals just shoot wherever and whoever because they don't care. A citizen with a gun also has to be well aware of their surroundings and it's pretty good odds of getting shot by a cop if you are running after someone waving a gun around.

I've owned 4 Cougars in my life, currently I have a 1970 that I've had for over 20 years, and yes it runs a little rich once in awhile. And yes it exits from the road when you turn the steering wheel. For the right price anybody can own a Cougar, well a slightly used one anyway being that they don't make Mercury's or Cougars any more.

Some of these people are so hung up on what their party is saying that they fail to take common sense into consideration. If somebody tells you to jump off a bridge you should probably look for a low bridge over a lot of water, verses a bridge over a freeway. If someone tells you to invest all your money into Bitcoin you should probably buy some NFT's to go with that. If a college says you can get a bachelor's degree online in your spare time you shouldn't expect the working class to bail you out when you find out that diploma is useless. If you can't take care of yourself you probably shouldn't be bringing kids into this world that you can't take care of. It's easier for them to blame somebody then to take responsibility for their own actions. Sometimes it's the blind leading the blind, they just hope we don't notice how blind they really are.

You are right, guns don't kill people, it's the bullets that kill people, and usually that bullet is set off by somebody firing a gun. So why do people not talk about restricting bullets? If they just want to own guns for target practice make the bullets non-leathel.
It would be silly for the cops and military not to have guns, do you think this is Europe and they are going to run around with Billy clubs? It's kill or be killed, and they are trained to kill to stop the threat. If you don't want to get shot then don't commit a crime. Just like in any profession their are a few bad apples like Mohammed Noor that shot right in front of his partner and killed Justine Damon, but the majority of the shooting are justified.

I can see how old she is, where she lives, that she's married, and that she is looking for a relationship or intimate encounter. And she has a picture even if her back is to us. She did not ask anybody to leave their contact info. Seems pretty legit to me. I'm not a lesbian and don't live anywhere near her so I have no need to contact her. But for those looking for that there is plenty of information. Besides if you put too much into your profile people feed into that and tell you what you want to hear and not the truth.

If she is looking to explore women she probably can not find that at home if she's married to a man. Looking else where for companionship may be the reason her back is turn to us, but at least it's a picture, better then many. She has plenty information for those in the area that wish to contact her without giving too much info away.

Commenting on his comment only encourages him to do it more because he got reactions out of people. It is also off topic unless you include something about the topic in your comment.

So being that Mary was an unmarried "virgin" at the time she got knocked up and gave birth to Jesus, don't you think it is much more likely that Satan is Jesus' father and not God? Or would you prefer to go with my assumption that Mary's crazy uncle knocked her up?

Just because that is the way a law is written does not mean everyone is running out and doing it. Girls that are 12 and 13 years old can also have children, and now pro life supporters want to make it impossible for these girls to get abortions if they wish. I believe that in most states a girl is considered an adult and is emancipated from her parents if she has a child. There are consent laws for sex, but it's not all that often that those are prosecuted. Is it fair to mark somebody as a sex offender for the rest of their life for being curious at 15?

What is even sicker is the group of people who want to allow children to under go sex transition treatments and procedures, give them some time to figure out if they truly want to be transgender as much of that can not be reversed.

You know Dodo that forcing kids to write sentences on a chalk board is considered physical and mental abuse, not to mention the allergy risk! Homer and Marge could sue the school district for millions and the laws are so stupid that they would actually win the law suit. I can not believe you would promote such degrading and disrespectful actions.

You see the problem here is people have no sense of humor, they take things so literal. I like your little inputs Dodo, but some people just must have the world revolve around them.

I am sorry if I have ever offended anybody on here and if they would just send me their address I will do my best to send them a coloring book and participation award to make up for what I have done. And to all the rest I will just say hail Satan, because in this every widening of divide in the world we all know it has come to those whom are going to heaven verses those whom are going to hell, and it's the people who are deciding for others, not God or the devil.
