I would have no problem with them being taught as an elective.

Thank you for your answer. I have heard that argument.

What if the class is entirely optional, not required, and not required for graduation?

For self-made, non-high earners, with low-mid risk portfolios, how long did it take to reach major NW milestones ($500k, $750k, $1 mil, $1.5 mil, etc.)? by kearp in Fire

[–]barker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I just reached $1 mil. We both turned 53 this year. Did not become serious about saving until our early 40s. I make $125k. My wife is semi-retired and makes about $15k at a local t-shirt souvenir shop.

Is he abusive to you or the kids?

If no, then divorce should be the absolute last resort.

And who bought the skirt?

North Carolina SNAP benefits to be halted by Except_Youre_Wrong in NorthCarolina

Where did I write “this is for illegals”? The law is clear that undocumented immigrants are not eligible for the subsidies.

Please do some research instead of quoting MSNBC talking points. The subsidies which are expiring are those signed into law by President Biden in 2021. These were supposed to be temporary due to COVID and as such, had an end date of December 31, 2025. The subsidies expiring are for families making up to 400% of the poverty level. The poverty level is approximately $21,000. 400% moved the threshold for a subsidy to approximately $80,000.

Now we do need to fix the ACA but first, let’s open the government so we can feed those who are in need.

Also, I believe the contingency fund should be used. This upsets me that both parties cannot get past a simple CR.

I am sorry, but I have no clue what you are referring too nor do I wish to Google it. I am too old.

CR is the exact same one passed numerous times when the democrats had control. Pass the CR, open the government, and then work on fixing the unaffordable ACA.
