"spend like drunken sailors"

While I realize that's a popular colloquialism in our modern culture, it is definitely disrespectful to us drunken sailors.

We never mastered deficit spending, thus we still live:)

Harry’s not doing a very good job of pretending not to have severe dementia.

Wow. That workforce participation chart is a chilling encapsulation of Barry’s 5 year shut down of America.

“Bad economics, sure. But it has yet to poll lower than 65% approval with our low-info electorate. I thought this was a shoo-in.”

It must not be polling well in those districts and states where Democrats are running for re-election; otherwise, they wouldn't be running away from it.

If the democrats shut down the government it’s hard to point the finger at republicans. Oh, wait....

The current crop of IDIOTS in Washington are going to be legendary for years to come.

“Margins they can deal with- such as lower profits” to accomodate the minimum wage.

Geee—how much would those lower profits affect the taxes a small business bight be paying???

A drop of 4% is bad enough, but the chart is misleading. It represents a range of 66 at the top and 62 at the bottom, so the decline isn’t as precipitous as it looks.
