Look at that. He’s not as ignorant as he pretends.

1. Yes, we should end the vaccine mandates on our end. Glad we agree on that. We should also agree that has a real economic impact.

2. Yes, wood tariffs doubled on Canadian lumber. Obviously it’s a poor decision. With record high inflation, especially in lumber, why would we do things that increase lumber price? Both 1 and 2 increase that.

3. What was the infrastructure package, 6 trillion? On top of the budget too.

4. He’s specifically threatened increase in taxes and regulations along with investigations into increased prices.

5. Look up SALT taxes.

lol.....We all have our own little bubbles of ignorance; some more and/or larger than others.
But I've always been more concerned with how people use the knowledge they have.
Knowledge without wisdom is the worst.
Wisdom without knowledge, I actually find fascinating.

Please expand on that last sentence. I think I know where you're at but want to make sure.

Nice deflection. I’ll just assume you agree with me now that all of those are real and they all have a negative impact upon the economy

And yet you support increased government spending and waste. Remarkable

You guys crack me up.
I've advocated for across the board cuts. Double for defense.
(As long as other criteria is met)
Dem administrations ALWAYS have a lower rate of increase in deficit spending than repub administrations.
It's you guys who support government spending and waste - you've just been fooled into thinking otherwise.

The only thing limiting Biden's spending is the republicans in senate. Both sides have sucked on this issue, but lets be honest about the desires of the current administration at a minimum.

What criteria would you want met before cutting overall spending on medicare and social security?

You're also deflecting (which is your style) from the original point that the 90 million was given to impact the lives of black American's. We all know it won't be used for that.

I wouldn't make that assumption, but I'm okay if you do.

Then why deflect? It seems if you had valid counterpoints you would address them. Instead, as normal, you waste time, run, and deflect. We couldn't finished this 2-3 replies ago but you first had to pretend you didn't understand anything I mentioned. Then when I tell you, you immediately change the topic.

Actually I think a dozen black Americans will be elevated to the "1%".

Yet you’re on record saying you would gladly pay much more in taxes so long as everyone else had to pay too.

The example I always fall back on is my great aunt Alice. She was literally a coal miner's daughter born and raised in Rockwood TN. (she died a couple of years ago at the age of 101) I think she finished 6th grade.
Without going into an extended story, there was an instance when I was a teenager when a was listening to a group of the "adults" in a discussion. Several of the adults were college educated. Alice's opinions and contributions to the discussion were often ignored or dismissed. As I listened, I realized Alice was by far the smartest (wisest) of the bunch. To me, her views were pure brilliance. (the discussion was over a recent murder committed by a local guy) After that day, I always made it a point to listen to her and watch the group dynamic. I learned early that education (factual knowledge) was not the same as wisdom. The two aren't really correlated at all.

This is what I thought.

My grandfather was much the same way. I know exactly what you mean.

I'd describe wisdom as the purist form of knowledge.

Really? Because you have posted about them directly.

I'll give you a hint.
I'm horrible with names.
I'll give you a second hint.......
I will NEVER lie about not knowing something.
The mere accusation is insulting.
When I say "I do not know" it does not mean "I never knew".
It may very well mean, "I knew at one point but have completely forgotten."

What is going on with the border blockades? Are they just blocking the one closest to Ottawa?

Are they letting any traffic thru?

Was this the truckers doing this or did the government stop allowing some movement so a blockade was uninitially created?
