Tang, You just demonstrated quite well the "problem" some have with the "youth" and supposed poverty. Like for example, folks somehow collecting gov't handouts intended for our "needy" while wearing 1000's of dollars worth of tattoos and staring non-stop at their 500 buck smart phone in their 300 buck (??) fancy-*** tennis shoes with the laces undone, and the 50 buck pair of denim jeans hanging below their *** crack! And they ain't plumbers believe me, they wouldn't think of doing that kind of actual WORK, no sirreee Jim Bob.

25 Million tax dollars....................that's nothing..............nope, NADA, no problemo, spend away, keep the public uninformed, i.e. STUPID!
Something happens when you spend away all you make today without the concept of tomorrow, when no one may want you at all, much less enough to pay you to do some menial task, because obviously (because you're then old and poor!) you ain't smart enough to handle a task that requires MUCH thought, thus menial labor, if ANY!

Bottom line is IF you spend MY money, I want to know ON WHAT? What FOR? What did I get for it??

I completely agree with you, Bob. The full report should be released. I was mostly responding to those folks who have been saying that we shouldn't have done the investigation at all. It was 18 cents per taxpayer.

TY Tang. Sorry for the rant on the youth I see hanging around the strip-mall................. lol

18 cents a person adds up, and when the dadgum Gov't is spending MONEY I want accountability.
IMO, Congress shouldn't get a dime of salary without them balancing our National Budget (again).
Like it was under Clinton. Balanced. Running a surplus.
I heard him tell me the era of big Gov't is over!

Then the Republicans took over. And immediately broke the budget............. and worse yet, on a poorly planned and (ultimately) ill-conceived WAR that was FALSELY sold to the American public thru LIES about imminent danger, that really wasn't imminent.

And now, we have an even LARGER Liar lying to the public on an even more frequent basis on even more various and assorted topics of misleading and LYING!

And this time I don't know why. This time it isn't to avenge his father. Oh wait............. I hope not!
He was a german immigrant Nationalist, wasn't he??

And millions of fools lap up his lies as IF he was, well what?.... honorable?
Kudos for not being one of the extremely foolish folks buying into the greatest con ever perpetrated.
What's his purpose? That's what worries me?

Who's he doing this for? It ain't me, I'm quite positive.
I'm one of the one's he's doing it to.
It'll just take some folks a long time to figure that out.

how much do we spend on the golfing and the excursions.

Who's we? Personally. I don't golf.
Used to.
It got too expensive, same with skiing.

What's an excursion?

You couldn't get me near a cruiseship.
Too many blue haired women..............and bananas on people.

Plus the whole idea of being "trapped" on some boat I can't get off of IF I want to terrifies me.
I expect it'd be worse than being "trapped" in a hall at some Trump rally but I can't be sure.
You wouldn't get me near one of them "events" either.
My tolerance is WAY WAY too low for that.

im talkin about the goon.

I like the part about congress not getting a dime of salary until the budget is balanced. Good call, Bob! We pretend like this debt and deficit (they are not inseparable, BL) isn't going to come crashing down around us. When it crashes, it's going to hit hard.

As far as Trump being a liar, you are correct again. But the good news is that he was telling the truth about not conspiring with the Russians.

Our media and democratic members of congress have a lot of apologizing to do to a lot of people.

I still haven't seen Trump and Hannity apologise to Mueller.

So, you're one of those people that hang on that limb? "The other side did crappy stuff, so we can too." I thought better.

We’ve had trillions in debt for almost 40 years. If it was going to crash, it would have by now.

The reality is that we control our currency and the debt figure becomes irrelevant because of it.

And I’m going to wait for the report before we clear Trump. There’s a hell of a lot of smoke. Mueller not having enough to prove something in court doesn’t clear anyone. There could easily be enough there for impeachment.

A lot of this is absolutely true. Irrefutable as they say.

However, so is the old axiom that you can't spend more than you earn..................

Someday, you'll have to pay the piper.
Our debt may be difficult to handle when those that hold the notes decide to call the tune.

Pay up or Bring it on, is a difficult position for an unsure POTUS to deal with.

We haven't had a "sure" POTUS (IMO) in a long long time.
The last "sure" one we had was sure, but (also) surely wrong on a number of things.
Thus the mixed bag results.

Trivia question of the day.

Probably not a single correct answer.

WHO was the most effective (defined by the ability to achieve his stated goals/campaign promises) POTUS that ONLY SERVED ONE TERM?

I'll post my answer later this evening.
HINT: Think back a good while!

Relative the earth, it’s not. But if you’re going to argue that the debt is going to come crashing down on us, 40 years of stability, regardless of debt, is a pretty good indicator that it’s not. Unless you have some other evidence to present.
