Is that true? I thought they were pretty good about fiddling with it to get a short term result. The data I saw showed that from about 1965 to 2015 (based on my memory), no matter what they did with federal tax code, it would move up and down a couple % points, but in the long run it always returned to 18-19% of GDP because it takes time to adjust to the new laws.

That sounds about right and the CRFB "analysis" isn't even taking that into account.

Good. We needed fewer tests and less moronic freakout over covid. How many were sent?

Fema money is a bigger issue than this but you don't seem to worry about it. Good thing the people affected, like my brother, know how to take care of themselves and their neighbors

And the bloomberg news article he links? You deny that too?

You're one of the goobers who can't wait to drink from Trump's firehose of lies.

This you?

The bloomberg article is behind a paywall so I looked it up and found an NBC article discussing it and nothing is "confirmed" except that the phone calls didn't take place.

And what if Trump did send tests to Putin? How many world leaders also got them?

I wish there was a different primary system. Something like 4 regionals and a national. With the availability of streaming services, it should not be that challenging. But that system would remove some control from the Parties...and that's a non-negotiable.

Why even have a primary if you are the democrats? They will replace the winner if it suits their purpose.

Maybe the reason she has gone to the air-waves for hard hitting interviews with Colbert (shared a beer during her interview), Stern , and The View. All asked leading questions begging for her to give the right answers and SHE FAILED TO DO SO!! Example, on The View she was asked if there was anything she would have done differently than Biden over the last 4 years ….. her answer - no! She answered this in light of the fact she has been campaigning on being a change-agent. These people are clueless.

I think the media is going to give up and start asking more probing questions. To not do this will further display their corruption and complicity for this administration. I predict the numbers will continue to slip at even a faster rate.

I don't know much about that organization or their polling but they over estimated Trump in 2020 so I wouldn't get too excited about it

Was reading a story from AP the other night, doesn't seem very significant on the surface but underlines why this election was so important. And just how badly we have failed.

Iran currently has reconnected with Saudi Arabia, diplomatic envoys and normalization of diplomatic ties there are not good. Void of leadership has created a great opportunity and Iran is seizing on it, riding the wave of backlash from The Israeli, Palestinian and Hezbollah conflict. The Saudis are smart, they play both sides just as well, if not better than we do.

This outward display of diplomacy is problematic for as number of reasons.

Not a bad strategy. Be as under-the-radar as possible. Let Trump beat himself.

I think that strategy is failing hence the desperation to get on television as much as possible with dishonest pro Harris interviewers - the View, Jimmy Kimmel. A lot of it is backfiring because Harris has problems with the simplest of questions where she is not using her learned talking point.

I can understand your perspective. And you may be 100% right. But most candidates ramp up the exposure close to election day. She can go on those shows and perform miserably and not do her campaign any damage, imo.

Harris is for sure happy with the compressed timeline. Her goal is to run as generic democrat. Just be an unknown with a D beside her name.

A great strategy if you are trying to win a basketball game AND you have the lead (or you don't have confidence in yourself) . Four corner offense. Sad part is, we are not talking sports….we are talking about running the strongest country on the planeT and people are making decisions based on a complicit media.

Look at the video above posted by @W.TN.Orange Blood …..it says it all.

All you looking for at this time in the campaign is 1-2% undecided voters. Mistakes at this time are huge. I hope she keeps on talking. Trump must be seeing polling that favors him. He is going to let her hang herself.

I don't see it. But I admittedly am not watching every step (misstep) of the campaigns.

The response to Helene has been greater, more efficient, infinitely faster, and better in any other way than what the government has done. That $750 does nothing if you have nowhere to go and no way to get there.

Let Trump mention doing that after he wins.

But he never will thankfully. We Republicans endured decades of continuous losses at the Supreme Court. Our solution wasn’t to pack the court; it was to keep winning Presidential elections until we could appoint enough justices to gain a majority of the accepted nine justices. We kept playing by the rule book even when we were losing. Dimocrats want to flip over the chessboard in the middle of the game.

$750 might not even cover groceries for a month for a moderate sized family thanks to Biden and Harris‘s inflation
