Now all they have to so is amend the US Constitution - good luck ; )

Reference the mayor's, and the left's Socialism push:

Apparently they have 70 million to build three stores and the first is to cost 30 mil - think about that. the store is to open in '29 and I give it two years before it closes down.

Just a fad by a few.

Funny, I do not recall seeing Australia in NATO.

Birth rates are declining in almost all developed (first-world) countries, with nearly all falling below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, including the US (1.6), Japan (1.2), and South Korea (0.75). These trends are driven by higher living costs, career prioritization, and increased access to education and contraception

Yet the debilitated biden they did not - makes one wonder as to ulterior motives, does it not?

Just came across this post - Lovin' IT!

Tax cuts let the private sector taxpayers to keep more of their hard earned monies, which in turn most gets spent in the private economy [consumption of goods and services]which drives it up. Companies gain from that in turn they pay in more tax revenues. When people have less money, less consumption of goods and services which either relates to a stagnant or even a shrinking economy which leads to recessions and fewer revenues to the government.

AI Overview
Rising taxation generally slows economic growth by reducing disposable income, decreasing consumer demand, and disincentivizing work, savings, and investment. A 1% of GDP tax increase can reduce real GDP by 2-3%, as higher rates limit business expansion, reduce corporate investment, and lower household purchasing power, often resulting in higher unemployment.

AI Overview
Lowering taxes generally boosts the economy in the short term by increasing disposable income for households and cash flow for businesses, encouraging spending and investment. However, if not financed by spending cuts, tax cuts often increase government debt, which can raise interest rates and hinder long-term economic growth.

Your economic lesson for liberals of the day -- and you're welcome : )

The one thing I've noticed over the years, is that most of the liberals here have little to no knowledge of management or economics, or finance - but hey, they have a lot of emotion, often misdirected.

How about a living wage, dumb-asses? Oh, that's right, the billionaires that fund the donkey don't want that, that's why they push identity politics instead of class warfare.

I hate the party I left for those reasons.

How would it apply to two individuals doing the same job, but one is single and the other married with a child. Now tell us how a small business with 15 employees can pay that mythological 'living wage'.

FACT IS: Companies' employee pay is what they labor is worth to the company. NO ONE is required to stay with a company in this country if they are unhappy with the pay - they are more than welcome to seek employment with another company, assuming they have the work credentials to to be hired in that higher paying position.

REMEMBER: No one take an employment position [signing on the 'dotted line' without knowing they pay and pay scale of the business, so if they accept the position they have made the decision to work for that pay.

Actually, it is up the the individual to do whatever is necessary if they need more income - whether by taking on a part-tie second job, or maybe taking evening courses to up their work credential for seeking a better paying position. It is NOT the responsibility of a company to give one more money just because they want more.

Just proof that libbies are suck F***s and have a propensity for violence.

Speaking of our tax dollars:

Do not recall you libs claiming extinction level event when ththese gasoline price levels occurred:

AI Overview
National average gas prices peaked at a record high of over $5.00 per gallon in June 2022 during the Biden administration, specifically hitting a peak of $5.016 per gallon on June 14, 2022, according to AAA data. This surge followed the Russian invasion of Ukraine and was a more than 100% increase from the roughly $2.39 average when Biden took

Ask yourself this: Do we need 77 facilities, ori s that just more government bloat?

The Media is more angry about Trump saving a US Service Member in Iran than Biden getting 13 US Service Members killed in Afghanistan.

NO. too many political/left leaning seniont officers [deep staters] and just as obama eliminated many senior officers:

AI Overview
Reports suggest that during his administration, President Obama replaced or dismissed a number of high-level military officers, including generals and admirals, with some critics describing the moves as a "purge" intended to align the Pentagon with his policy vision. Notable removals included Gen. David McKiernan in 2009 and Gen. Stanley McChrystal in 2010.

Key Removals: In 2009, Obama replaced Gen. David McKiernan, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, with Gen. Stanley McChrystal in a move aimed at getting "fresh eyes" on the conflict.
"Purge" Claims: Reports, including from conservative outlets, claimed that 197 officers were removed or disciplined over five years for reasons ranging from misconduct to "loss of confidence".
Reasons for Action: The administration often cited "loss of confidence in command ability" or misalignment with strategic goals in Afghanistan, while critics alleged the removals were political and aimed at reducing the influence of military commanders who disagreed with his policies.

Now the pendulum is swinging in the other direction.

When people flee high tax states with onerous business rules and regulations the following happens:

AI Overview
Following the 2020 Census, seven states lost seats in the U.S. House of Representatives due to shifting populations, with each losing exactly one seat. The states that lost seats are California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. This marked the first time California lost a congressional seat.

Actions, in this case state's imposing higher taxes, etc., have consequences - in this case a population flight. Do look are recent news and see the flight to freedom is ongoing. BUT no worry, as the Blue states will either raise the taxes on the remaining to offset lost revenues, or they will have to cut programs and services...or maybe a combination of the two.

The Pentagon needs this shakeup.
