  2. From the king of deflection!
  3. Samitivej on Suk soi 49. Fantastic hospital
  4. Ya really missed the point. Guessing you didn't read any of the articles other than the title. They don't really support your claim. Figures
  5. The Washington Examiner? You really read it? Bizarre
  6. A gaffe. Is that all you got. Want me to put up all Trump's gaffes?
  7. A gaffe. Is that all you got. Want me to put up all Trump's gaffes?
  8. She's not. Prove that she is
  9. Link proving it...or bs
  10. He cleared people out just to hold a Bible backwards in front of a church. Horrible conman and grifter.
  11. Stock market is up. People are employed. Covid is a bit under control. What's wrong? Turn off the divisive right wing media outlets
  12. Divided America because of all the racists
  13. Far better place? Ya gotta be kidding me. He's divided America. Horrible person
  14. Ouch! Time for MAGA cult members to abandon Faux News for reporting the truth again. The surveys, released Wednesday, find a close, two-way Harris-Trump race: Harris is up by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead by 1 point in North Carolina. All are within the margin of sampling error. https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-harris-closes-gap-trump-sun-belt-states
  15. So you're saying history doesn't show recessions happen frequently? Ya gotta be kidding me. Obviously not an economist
  16. I've been hearing that for years. But as history shows, one will happen eventually.
  17. Yeah. Just hundreds arrested for all sorts of crimes. Following Trump's orders, they are in jail and he isn't. Who weaponized the DOJ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_proceedings_in_the_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack
  18. According to MAGA cult members, absolutely!
  19. You mean the king of fake news and misinformation? Bagged on Twitter years old. So did most intelligent people
  20. More nonsense. He promised to build a wall, balance the budget, blah, blah, blah, last time. Didn't happen. Sad some fall for a habitual liar and conman
  21. Your point? The economy recovered from the worst pandemic in a century and inflation is now under control. Stocks are up. Jobs are doing ok. Turn off the divisive right wing media outlets. Please
  22. Worth a read. As normal, it's not easy and hindsight is always 20/20. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-fiscal-policy-response-to-the-pandemic/ Romer argues that pandemic recessions are fundamentally different from ordinary recessions, and thus require different policy responses. She writes: “The unique characteristics of a pandemic recession imply that fiscal policy during a pandemic should be geared much more toward helping those who are directly harmed rather than toward increasing aggregate demand more generally. That is, it should be aimed at providing social insurance rather than broad stimulus.” The $599 billion added to the federal deficit to pay for public health measures was “clearly necessary and valuable,” she writes. “Because both the recovery of demand and the safe pace of economic growth depend on getting the virus under control, it was imperative to take aggressive action on public health measures.” Likewise, the expansion of unemployment insurance, at $748 billion, was “clearly appropriate to the unique circumstances of the pandemic.” Also, federal aid to state and local governments ($597 billion) was a cost-effective way to help them meet pandemic-related needs, offset lost tax revenue, and avoid layoffs.
  23. I've seen this member around for years. Never use to post in such a nasty way. Anyway, I am in Scotland and just saw the definition. Too funny
