You consume it through the main stream media. It shows in how ignorant and ill informed you are about the school choice movement in America (not just Kentucky)Nah. Don't eat fast food junk.
The same ratio as they rejected Amendment 2. :joy:Yes they did...matter of fact they also elected Trump by almost 2-to-1 KFC biscuit
So you're "on board" with Trump's government efficiency initiative to reduce and eliminate government waste...including totally scrapping the bloated and wasteful Department of Education?The same ratio as they rejected Amendment 2. :joy:
"little lies" is a great song, especially for you! You never mentioned how satisfied you are with Trump's newly created DOGE set to eliminate over a Trillion dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse including the worthless Department of Education? Just another item on Trump's MAGA agenda I'm sure you have "no problems" with?Fleetwood Mac......I like. [thumbsup] Stevie Nicks is awesome.

What do YOU think DJT? Is @MountaineerWV down with your MAGA agenda to drain the swamp and eliminate bloated Federal agencies?

Yeah I agree, it's hard to know for sure, that's why we're playing Fleetwood Mac's ode to him! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Aren't you sorry you didn't vote for this guy since you're all "OK" with his MAGA agenda?1. Eliminating the Dept of Education........Ok, so what? Turn it back to the states? Cool. My state voted on the direction of education.
2. Wasteful spending......Great idea! Now let's see it actually happen. Someone write down the debt owed on January 20th, 2025 and we will see when it comes to the end of his term, along with the shape of the economy. That should be a good indication.
I'm an American! I'm on board. Let's roll!!!!
What on Earth would make you suggest our free enterprise Capitalist economy wouldn't be in better shape with a smaller, leaner, more efficient, less expensive government that's not running up unpayable debts or taxing private wealth accumulation and income generation that hinders growth?Wasteful spending......Great idea! Now let's see it actually happen. Someone write down the debt owed on January 20th, 2025 and we will see when it comes to the end of his term, along with the shape of the economy. That should be a good indication.
Yeah. It's my education. Diploma. Bachelor. Masters. Job. Wealth. Nice Home. Yeah, that "government indoctrinated school" really set me back. :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:What on Earth would make you suggest our free enterprise Capitalist economy wouldn't be in better shape with a smaller, leaner, more efficient, less expensive government that's not running up unpayable debts or taxing private wealth accumulation and income generation that hinders growth?
Oh I almost forgot, you were educated (or er...excuse me..."indoctrinated") in Government run schools.
@MountaineerWV ...agreeing with atl's assessment of his "swampy" proclivities.

Nice twist. That doesn't say reduce the debt, it says reduce wasteful spending. Debt is created by spending more than you bring in and requires an analysis of the tax revenue to determine.1.

If you doubt our economy wouldn't be soaring after we cut taxes and spending by shrinking bloated government you wasted your indoctrination.Yeah. It's my education. Diploma. Bachelor. Masters. Job.

Nice twist. That doesn't say reduce the debt, it says reduce wasteful spending. Debt is created by spending more than you bring in and requires an analysis of the tax revenue to determine.
The proper statement is "Someone write down the federal government's spending through January 20th, 2025 and we will see when it comes to the end of his term."
Way to show of your "government indoctrinated" education.
Paying down the debt........thought that was a priority? No? Didn't Trump once say "I will eliminate debt in 8 years"?Nice twist. That doesn't say reduce the debt, it says reduce wasteful spending. Debt is created by spending more than you bring in and requires an analysis of the tax revenue to determine.

You do that through growth in the economy which generates additional revenues to the treasury. If you're managing spending and not running up more deficits by additional borrowing & spending, a growing economy allows you to retire more accumulated debt.Paying down the debt........thought that was a priority? No?
So then, you agree that he should shrink the debt in 4 years?You do that through growth in the economy which generates additional revenues to the treasury. If you're managing spending and not running up more debts by additional borrowing & spending, a growing economy allows you to retire more accumulated debt.
Sort of like that fabulous job you have. Your increasing earned income (the part that's not taxed away to fund more wasteful government borrowing & spending) allows you to pay your mortgage and other debts easier & faster. Didn't they teach you that basic concept of how to control deficits through limited spending and a growing economy when they were indoctrinating you in those government schools?![]()
How much deficit reduction and limited spending did YOU vote for in this last cycle? Oh I almost forgot, you didn't have a problem with any of Trump's agenda or his policies you just forgot to vote for 'em.Paying down the debt........thought that was a priority? No? Didn't Trump once say "I will eliminate debt in 8 years"?
Is that a no or a yes? :joy:How much deficit reduction and limited spending did YOU vote for in this last cycle? Oh I almost forgot, you didn't have a problem with any of Trump's agenda or his policies you just forgot to vote for 'em.![]()
Yes! As much as we can. Truthfully, I'd shut it all down except for a few critical/essential Constitutional functions of the Federal Government. It won't eliminate all of that bad debt in 4 years that took literally decades to metastasize, but as long as we're no longer spending beyond our means keeping budgets smaller, out of deficits and in balance, we should eventually get all of it (debt) eliminated. We have to grow our way out of it by expanding economic activity.So then, you agree that he should shrink the debt in 4 years?
Here in Georgia, we just closed our last fiscal year with a 19 billion dollar surplus! 19 billion dollars! This was after we cut personal and business taxes, along with implementing responsible non deficit spending and eliminating some needless State agencies.Is that a no or a yes? :joy:
If you are saying that by decreasing wasteful spending, it will increase paying down of debt, why can't someone expect the debt to decrease in 4 years?
Man, my educational background, financial situation, and happiness really bothers you. :joy:Here in Georgia, we just closed our last fiscal year with a billion dollar surplus. A billion dollars! This was after we cut personal and business taxes, along with implementing responsible spending and eliminating some needless State agencies.
Some States by Law CANNOT spend more than they take in and their budgets must be balanced to revenues. Georgia doesn't have to do that by Law, but our Republican Legislature and Republican Governor simply prioritized our revenues and spent only what we needed to spend. The result of that fiscal restraint has resulted in over a Billion dollar surplus that's going to be returned to Georgia taxpayers (where it came from) in the form of even lower tax rates!
That will further expand our State's economy, which will generate additional revenues to the State treasury where coupled with continued fiscal restraint will keep State coffers in surplus, out of deficits and our economy growing!
I realize these concepts are anathema to a government educated bot like you, but these principles work every time they're tried. Many other States have similar results simply by keeping their spending under control and lowering taxes, which leads to additional economic growth and zero deficits.
You'll catch on as you continue to support Trump's similar agenda for America.![]()
I only responded to your response to atlkvb. You said "wasteful spending" then wanted someone to compare the debt in 4 years. Those are different.Paying down the debt........thought that was a priority? No? Didn't Trump once say "I will eliminate debt in 8 years"?
Man, my educational background, financial situation, and happiness really bothers you. :joy:
You busted him... caught him naked and exposed in all of his gloriously luminescent government indoctrinated ignorance understanding the difference between deficits & debt.I only responded to your response to atlkvb. You said "wasteful spending" then wanted someone to compare the debt in 4 years. Those are different.
If you would like, I can explain the difference to you. If you want to carry on and pretend you said "debt" instead of "wasteful spending", carry on.......
Nope. Not pretending anything. I know what I said. And like ATL said, if you cut spending then in turn you should also be reducing the debt. So that should be something to follow. If you are going to cut spending, then you should have more money to use to pay off your debt. Pretty obvious, right?I only responded to your response to atlkvb.

You think awfully high of yourself. Yet with all of your braggadocio, you're too ashamed to even say who you got YOUR well educated & informed vote during this last Presidential election cycle?
You're quite the Rhodes Scholar there 'ya know that @MountaineerWV ?

If you cut spending and keep it within revenues generated, you don't/won't have deficits! Deficits are simply accumulated debts. (which are borrowed to pay for more wasteful government spending). The debt does have to be re-paid, but you do that through additional revenues generated by a growing economy. You don't transfer existing spending to payments on the debt only. You stop deficit spending, and pay down your debts with the increased revenue lower taxes and fiscal restraint provides to a growing economy.Nope. Not pretending anything. I know what I said. And like ATL said, if you cut spending then in turn you should also be reducing the debt. So that should be something to follow. If you are going to cut spending, then you should have more money to use to pay off your debt. Pretty obvious, right?
I'm not "posting" you, I'm "educating" you.I'm really glad you "don't post me" anymore
It's my education. Diploma. Bachelor. Masters. Job. Wealth. Nice Home.
Why is it necessary to even mention your letters, employment, income/wealth, home, etc if it's not "bragging"?I don't see "bragging" on myself at all. If I were bragging, I'd tell you how much I have, how big my house is, etc etc etc
That's not very Christian. :joy:I'm not "posting" you, I'm "educating" you.At least you are OK with Trump's agenda I've been systematically laying out for your stupid "write in" non voting ***.

@Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away
What does it mean to have a form of godliness but deny its power in 2 Timothy 3:5?
What does it mean having a "form of Godliness"?
excerpt:
In 2 Timothy 3:1–4, he gives Timothy a long list of sinful behaviors and attitudes that are contrary to God’s will. In verse 5 he tells Timothy to avoid those who state they are Christians with their mouths—they have a “form” of godliness—but who act as unbelievers—they deny the power of godliness. Those who have a form of godliness are those who make an outward display of religion. They present themselves as godly, but it is all for show. There is no power behind their religion, as evidenced in the fact that their lives are unchanged. They speak of God and live in sin, and they are fine with that arrangement.
