I found out I could piddle around with the state’s online games, and didn’t have to get dressed or leave the house. I got very good at walking away, kept an open text window to track what I was doing. Wasn’t a fortune of course. I’ve never gone to a casino, pretty sure I never will. Oddly enough, I do check out JacobsLifeInVegas on YouTube from time to time. :^)

Total trade between USA, Mexico and Canada per year is $1.5T. 25% of that is $400B. Just how is $400B/yr supposed to create havoc in world financial markets?

The USA spends $400B on gay pride parades...

USAID is $40B. The tariff amount is 10 times that, big deal. $400 is < 2% of US GDP. Tariffs are tempest in a teapot.

RE: USAID, you heard about it?

As of 2024, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had an annual budget of approximately $50 billion. Where are they getting the money to pay for $400 Bil. in gay pride parades?

No, you pay Federal Income tax on any interest earnings.
However, here in NH we got rid of the interest and dividends tax for 2025.

The only way you do not pay tax on Zero Coupon bonds.
The problem is the Federal Bonds are only locked in at that rate for six months.

We’re always wary of the R spineless, but —using Langkford as example—he’s been shown to be as full of sheeeeite as Ds as a result of Trump’s actions.

Will he be forefront in questioning Trump again ? Other R senators:

1) see the chance to join the good guys and actually accomplish something significant for the first time in our history. Their spines have been stiffened.
Rescission would open up the salary cap, so to speak, and solve lots of issues that they’d be facing otherwise.

2) want to avoid the wrath of the king, DjT

Rescission detours around the judicial branch, so Trump will push this no end.
Collins tanked it in ‘18, and she may do so again, albeit with less cover. Murkowski will oppose and maybe one other, but I’ll predict JD Vance makes it real.

Hoo-friggn’-ray

With his kind of money, no harm in being conservative with investments.
