Is it that obvious? LoL.
“My family has been here for 377 years I think I can run for president...point is I am sick of hearing my family bah bah bah bah”
Well since it is Veterans Day tomorrow-My Father served on the WWII destroyer the USS Perkins (DD-377).
Yeah.... Cruz had by far his best night tonight. Personally I think he won the debate. Donald did good.... but Cruz is the guy.
I wouldn’t say that I was defending his amnesty stance....however, I was defending him. I will say he had a decent night and glad he and Cruz were not involved in the whole immigration part.
Did you see I ranked Cruz first? I really didn’t want you to faint. :-)
And you know I love ya don’t you..........I just can’t help it.....I find it fun sometimes playing around. And YES I go too far....millions of times.
Good talk in the pre-op, translates to good action in the recovery. Let Us Pray...
Bush’s camp is in such disarray it looks like he couldn’t even come up with a few thousand trolls to go vote for him on Drudge. Last I checked only George H, George W and Barbera had voted for him.
Agree. Sounded a bit too Sham Wowish.
Disagree. Minimum wage is an economic killer and needs to be repealed.
Cruz getting some $$$ tonight for sure!
Only reason I would vote for any of them is Capitalism and a business man and that just happens to be Trump. We have to get our house in order, end of story.
Cruz won, hands down!
I think it (an end user sales tax) could be phased in gradually, but, it’d take an awfully good salesman to sell the idea, and some sort of absolute guarantee that the phase out of income tax would really happen.
As an accountant, I learned sometimes you just don’t respond to things.
Exactly, and I explained this to my wife as it occurred.
There is a difference between bailing out the depositors versus bailong out the stockholders/owners.
In after debate comment Carson was also not sharp enough to realize the existence of FDIC insurance when he was asked the same question and given the same doom of depositors losing there money. The Mod was never called for misleading on the issue.
One comment on the failing bank issue. What about FDIC? The questioners acted like...oh shock, those poor people lose their money. But we have FDIC where they are covered for $250,000. That is most people. You know when you open the account that that is all you are insured for. So let people buy more insurance. But the gov’t should not Bail out the bank or any depositor for more than the FDIC insured amount. Otherwise what motivates responsible behavior.
You wouldn’t say the gov’t should guarantee stock investments. You gamble. It is the same with banks. If you put a lot of money into it, you had better check out their financials.
I thought he started poorly with a HORRIBLE answer on the min wage... then, he was very snarky a couple of time, looked petty..
“Actually, they would have been bought up by other banks; Wells Fargo was ready to buy up some of them.â€
Of course. One fails, another takes a gamble, and succeeds or fails. That’s capitalism.
Let’s tell the truth about the 2008 banking debacle. It was not capitalism. The Fed and Treasury told the little guys which big guy was going to buy them. Then they borrowed money from our children (via the Fed) and gave it to the big banks to buy the little ones.
It was outright theft from future generations and had nothing to do with capitalism.
