    One Year Later, Trump's Tariffs Have Failed

    Rational people could definitely disagree. Raising $200b or so of additional revenue and more companies have made or are planning new manufacturing investments in the U.S. There are also downsides like higher prices for imported goods but it's not like it's all negative.

    The Save Act

    I didn't say anything about turning voter rolls over to the federal government. I said that democrats would be against any form of ID even if adjustments were made. Do you have any idea how owners of corporations elect directors, approve auditors, and approve other important matters? How do...

    The Save Act

    Schumer is largely responsible for shutting down the government twice even though he was widely critical of republicans for doing the same thing. He calls every other issue Jim Crowe 2.0. Back in the 90s he supported voter ID laws calling them a sensible anti fraud measure to prevent abuse...

    The Save Act

    Face it LB, dems want no part of voter ID of any kind. Not even requiring the voter rolls to be cleaned of non citizens, dead people, and people who have moved. Otherwise they'd jump on board but ask that a few things are relaxed to make it easier.

    The economy

    I'm for all kinds of energy including wind and solar. The difference is I think each one has to pay it's own way without huge subsidies.

    The economy

    Military spending was 4.6% of GDP when Clinton took office. Clinton cut defense spending during his tenure. Some say it left us unprepared for 9/11. It was 4.9% of GDP under Obama in 2010. Spending was 3.4% of GDP last year (before the Iran war). I have mixed feelings because I think national...

    The economy

    How so? People on this board and throughout the country are always talking about how the government should do things differently. I suspect that you're talking about things like national healthcare and gun control. But other countries are less diverse and I doubt that you want that. I think...

    The economy

    Your solution is for local governments to hire developers who won't be allowed to make a profit?

    The economy

    Your definition of a president who "cares for us" is more spending and more debt that is only partially offset by more taxes on the rich.

    The economy

    That chart tells me that our European "allies" should be 100% committed to helping get the straits open. P.S. Natural gas prices are $2.82 after starting the year at $3.97

    Florida Underwater? Way late post for 2026!

    The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimates that, once fully expanded, Chancay could handle 3.5 million containers per year, potentially making it the third-largest port in Latin America, and the largest controlled entirely by a Chinese state-owned enterprise. The CSIS...

    GREAT JOB AG PAM BONDI

    I don't think it was so great.

    Birthright Citizenship

    Even democrats agreed with controlling the border and eliminating birthright citizenship at one point. Now they claim it's too difficult for women can't prove citizenship. If that wat the only problem they would be proposing easier ways to do so but the fact is they don't want any form of...

    The Save Act

    I dislike politicians on both sides but democrat hypocrisy has no limits. These people opposed gay marriage and offered civil unions as an alternative. They supported more border fencing before opposing a wall. Since then they've learned that they can buy votes with the special interests by...

    Birthright Citizenship

    I'd be OK with that except for the "illegal" part. Your approach would be to encourage anchor babies as a way to sidestep our laws. Enter the country illegally, have a baby (at taxpayer expense), make him/her a citizen, then be unable to deport the "family" or be accused of separating...
