-Well...all of them. Every one adds a positive number to the income line.

my state income taxes
my property taxes
my sales taxes
my social security and medicare taxes

all of those helps the bottom line at the US Treasury?

We aren't talking about the budget deficit of my local school district, city, or even my state.

what do you mean "all of them"?

-Well, there's only one reason for that

Yeah. County sheriffs don't enforce federal immigration law.

You seem to believe it's a conspiracy to defraud the government and taxpayers.

Actually, it's because it falls outside the scope of their job.

In your life, have you actually met a county sheriff? How about the president of a chamber of commerce?

local law enforcement focuses on the laws broken by illegal immigrants except 1.....actually being here.

and you've never produced any evidence to the contrary. Just keep spewing some conspiracy theory involving those seedy characters.

-It's the co-conspirators who publicly decry the very system they tacitly support.

Yes. Folks like presidents and US congressmen on both sides who predictably accuse the other side of "open borders" and the whores in the media parrot it.

It's a massive "co-conspiracy" to be sure

-It goes something like this: "Al, I got a great idea. Why don't we invite any immigrants? Legal, illegal ... I don't care. Invite them to Nebraska because we have lots of openings out on our farm and we need help."

Al's response is off the record but it goes something like this, "we are inviting them all".

They just aren't advertising it. It's too scary for virgin ears.

-Everything else is colored by lies and BS by both sides.

The truth will be hard at times to see. So many agendas

-Hey, Eberly, show me a single posting of mine from the past five years where I have personally attacked you.

Fair enough.

"Of course they are fuming. They are always fuming"

so are you

and many others here.

In fact, you all attack me for NOT fuming.

You don't think black people are capable of believing they are essential and valuable employees?

-I mean, if you worked for the federal government in any capacity, how could you vote for Trump?

None of them think he meant them

Everyone thinks they are essential. Doesn't matter where they work.

"He's talking about the lazy people that don't count for much......not me!"

If I were to do something like this it would hoping nobody would notice I let go a bunch of people. That would be the ultimate defense for doing it.

There is no chance that's how it's going to go, however.

Look at the FAA.....Jesus, a plane experiences turbulence and it makes the news....that's what's in store for all of these layoffs........the news has fodder for "see, I ------- told you these layoffs would hurt people!!!"

That's a certainty.

Before the end of the day, they're gonna pin Gene Hackman's death on some cut.

Oh, and a done of personal insults.

Gotta have those......

-None of you cared when the oil workers were cut, or Google, Facebook had layoffs the last couple of years.

nobody is going to give you a thoughtful response. Perhaps some lame deflection about how it's different when someone loses their job in the private sector vs a govt job.

Organizations expand and contract. Both private sector and government.

Are these cuts necessary? Considering the way it's being done and communicated, I'd say no.

Meaning the cuts won't be strategic....just cutting to cut.

And that will lead to more problems....and a media devoted to hammering it step by step.

People tend to believe the myth that these organizations are bloated with too many lazy people who do nothing, etc.

Christ, my organization struggles with that as well.

But if you cut, you damn well better know how to structure and re-organize. You can't just cut for the sake of cutting.

"Cutting too many or just the wrong people leads to higher costs."

couldn't agree more.

I want to live healthy just as much as living longer.

I recently caught up with some high school classmates around Christmas because one of us traveled back and nobody had seen for a long time.

Anyway....you start imagining the health challenges some are facing now (I'm 56). Some are quite obvious.....and I suppose many aren't obvious...but they are real.

I don't care to live to 99 or something like that. I want the option to be able to retire or semi-retire at an early enough age so we can really go and enjoy traveling and spending extended time away.

89

Yes.

Awesome actor.

"All this attention,"

It's your choice to chase people around like me begging for attention.

For a little while here I'm giving you a little attention.

Enjoy it. It's a finite commodity

-Why the ---- should I be banned,

For the same reason why ---- must be wiped from my ass.

It would be rude not to.

This is as much entertainment as lamps going to get from me for a while.

It's obvious why lamp does what he does.

He sees a good discussion happening like clown and I were having. He wasn't part of it.

So he decided to try and ---- on it.

It's why Hans came back and immediately hated him.

Took no time at all.

He posts good articles and I like the way he formats the text of them.

THAT lamplighter I like.

The rest of it isn't taken very seriously ... ..not even by himself.

Seriously, you tiny-dicked midget Oreo ----. We will tie you a tree and gut your ------- MAGAT ass.

The reason why Boaz thinks this is RCADE is because he should be banned for such posts.

But since he's allowed to post like this it does beg the question as to why it's allowed.

-Not really.

Yes really.

How is lost on the lamplighter alias that I've voted for our Democratic Party governor twice?

His alias seems to be inclined to assign to me ownership of the GOP in Kansas and further to tell me what I prefer.

And then this alias whines that someone dares to tell him what to think.

Why the hypocrisy? Why the attitude?

Has this alias been robbed? He seems to be a victim of something and seems to be focused on blaming me for it.

-Do try harder.

Why?

The minimal effort I'm giving right now seems to be more than enough.

Your alias seems to be pretty put off.

Why is that?
