Surely you realize that the underlying principle you're advocating here is the same justification for everything you tend to argue AGAINST in this thread, right?Ehh. One doesn’t have to smoke. Tired of paying for people’s terrible choices.
Yeah I’m against forced taxing, like income taxes or corporate taxes and such. I have no problem with a consumption tax. I don’t need to buy alcohol, electronics or anything. That is a choice. Which is why I’d be ok with this type of national tax.Surely you realize that the underlying principle you're advocating here is the same justification for everything you tend to argue AGAINST in this thread, right?Ehh.

What's the point?

That wasn't the parallel I intended to draw but I would be willing to bet stupidity has some genetic factors tied to it...I didn't know you could be genetically predisposed to a car crash...Something something Jim Fixx.
https://t.co/52m4VuM6xMBREAKING: Lawmakers say border deal reached in bid to avert U.S. government shutdown
This is pretty well saidAmong the endorsers of this Green New Deal is Sen. Cory Booker, who compares the battle to stop climate change to fighting the Nazis in World War II. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren have all endorsed it. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who calls climate change “an existential threat,” was an original co-sponsor.
Nancy Pelosi has more sense. Interviewed last week, the speaker batted the Green New Deal aside: “It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”
With her own agenda and priorities, Pelosi does not want to be dragged into having to defend a document that reads like it was written by the college socialists club.
The question, though, is why Democrats, who, if nominated, are likely to face Donald Trump in 2020, are signing on to so radical a scheme.
In a presidential election, the “out” party candidate usually has an advantage. No record to defend. He or she can choose the terrain on which to attack the incumbent, who has a four-year record.
Rarely does an out party present a fixed and stationary target as exposed as this, as out-of the-mainstream as this, as vulnerable as this.
"Well... what do you think Northam meant?!?!?"
coolIf we didn't do that shutdown*, we wouldn't have been able to show this country, these politicians, the world, what the hell is happening with the border."
This should be a huge scandal. It seems as though the QIA is the subject of the Mueller subpoena battle, so hopefully if the law was broken, we will find out.Qatar is attempting to keep tighter control of its investments abroad after finding out it may have unwittingly helped bail out a Manhattan skyscraper owned by the family of Jared Kushner

lol. 55 miles.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had said "'no money for a wall;' that's not the case," the California Republican said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "The Democrats have now agreed to more than 55 miles of new barrier being built."
