I don’t know how people function with absolutely no fallback, I’d be in a complete panic without some sort of cushion for emergencies.
One of the other posts said it was the Republicans who are responsible. Unity;just what we need.
Property taxes are low here but the sales tax is eight percent, income tax is seven percent so the state is skimming fifteen percent on every dollar you make and spend at retail yet they call SC a “low tax” state.

“Because he WILL be seen as a fool by most, imo.”
I see him as a fool by my own definition but I DON’T blame the damage he is doing on his being a fool. He is accomplishing exactly what he set out to do and for which he was installed in the office.
“A family in the middle quintile, with an average income of roughly $50,000, could continue its spending for six days...
...the study by Lusardi, Tufano, and Schneider found that nearly one-quarter of households making $100,000 to $150,000 a year claim not to be able to raise $2,000 in a month...
...credit-card debt stood at about $5,700 per household in 2015. Of course, this figure factors in all the households with a balance of zero. About 38 percent of households carried some debt, according to the analysis, and among those, the average was more than $15,000.”

I went to high school in the 70s. My chemistry teacher’s favorite saying was, “The ignorant always suffer!”

“I thought Id done most of the right things. I went to college; got a graduate degree; taught for a while; got a book contract; moved to a small, inexpensive, rent-controlled apartment in Little Italy [NYC] to write; got married; and bumped along until I landed a job on television...Then my wife and I bought a small co-op apartment in Brooklyn, which we could afford, and had our two daughters. My wife continued to work, and we managed to scrape by, though child care and then private schools crimped our finances.”

Gasps for breath...

Well, when you watch for years and see no effective action from our government - and hardly a whimper of protest from our sell-out banana republicans - you turn to the panderers and traitors in our midst. External enemies we will always have.
