When I was in college I worked at least 1 part time job. It's unfortunate the gumbint has to create "jobs".

No one trusts this administration to not use this to cheat.

Gubbermint Jobs?

Saw this at ZeroHedge this morning.

US GDP "Grew" $334 Billion In Q4.... That Growth Cost $834 Billion In Debt:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us...4-billion-debt

Quote:
Well, a closer look at the data revealed something stunning: a quick look at the increase in nominal GDP, which rose from $27.61 trillion in Q3 to $27.94 trillion in Q4, shows that the US economy increased some $334.5 billion in absolute nominal dollar terms.

But where did this growth come from? Why debt of course, and a lot of it. For the answer how much debt, we go to the US Treasury's Debt to the penny website, where we find that debt on Sept 30, 2023 was $33,167,334,044,723.16 and debt on Dec 31, 2023 was $34,001,493,655,565.48.

In other words, it cost $834.2 billion in debt during Q3 to grow the US economy by $334.5 billion, or exactly $2.5 in debt for every $1 in GDP "growth."

Very much in line with returns I've come to expect on our tax dollars.

And nothing even more runaway spending can't solve.

No one trusts our 18-35 year olds.

They are going re-assign their loand AND pay them too?

What is this, Hunter branching out?


Come summer, if the polls are tight, look for FREE METH AND HOOKERS for college degenerates.

Before the last election a Bernie Sanders for president table was manned outside a supermarket i shop at. They were on a voter registration drive and asked me if i was registered and who i planned to vote for. I told them not for Sandres and they asked why. They didn't appreciate my thoughts and a woman actually assaulted me. I was pretty pissed off but didn't respond physically., but i called her every derogatory name I could think of and i wasn't quiet about it. Drew quite the crowd. I called the supermarket corporate headquarters and explained what happened. Never again was any voter registration booth seen there again.

I don't know why I laughed at that, I have had that happen too many times to count. Never over arguing politics. I did think my ex girlfriend was going to.
She strangely objected to me calling a guy on TV a dude in a dress which is exactly what he was. She like got up in my face, she seems to often be in denial about how pissy she gets.

150% waste or over budget, whatever you would like to call it. That really is not bad for any thing a government entity touches. Go do the math at how much they spend to house, clothe and feed illegals in New York. I did the math on some numbers they threw out and it was over $100k a year each.
I forgot where I read that.

There is no such box on the voter registration form. The only time you need to declare your party preference is when you vote in that party’s primary. You do that by asking for the party ballot.

I wonder what the laws are governing that? I am sure it varies by locale.
People canvasing, soliciting or whatever it may be called in this area are usually well off to the side of the store entrance so you have to walk out of the way to see what they are up to. Where I was at in SoCal some of them were damn near blocking the door.

I admire all the ways the dems try to legally cheat and game the system. Using the work/study program to pay radicalized students at universities to sign people up to vote. I'm sure they will be visiting senior centers and rural communities in addition to fellow radicalized students on campus. I'm sure.

I don't see what could go wrong here.
So......let me attempt to grasp your point here.
You're saying that young people should not participate in the political process?

Conservatives seem to be so consumed with our "brainwashed" youth.
Just another area where you struggle to persuade with your argument.

Grow a set.......own the situation, for once
Show the world how well you can govern without a dictatorship.
