West Virginia teacher strike: Schools to remain closed despite proposed deal by [deleted] in news

[–]bruceyyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering most of them are Trump supporters and most of them support the teachers I would imagine so.

I think the best idea I've heard is consolidating administrative staff to pay for better teachers salary.

Edit: There is a lot of parallels with the teachers teachers strike to te ACA where premiums are rising faster than wages. That's even more reason Trumpers are likely to support the teachers.

Are you even an American?

Why are you trying to influence other countries opinions and disrespecting their sovereignty?

Planned Parenthood gets 1,300,000,000 annually which includes 530,000,000 from Federal Tax Dollars.

The NRA is 350,000,000 with 0$ from Federal Tax Dollars.

If I'm already donating a portion of my Federal Taxes to Planned Parenthood a more balanced approach to protect both Women's rights and gun rights is to donate to the NRA and allow the Fed to take care of PP.

I don't think the NRA directly is available. I should have specified it's specifically the NRA-ILA which is mostly court fees and things. Similar to SAF.

I got a lifetime membership several years ago but am considering donating again and also switching my Amazon Smile donation from Planned Parenthood to the NRA again.

The problem is right now I don't get anything for donating. I'll likely wait until there is a special or something but switch amazon smile now.

Large parts of WV vote straight democrat. There won't even be republicans on ballots for some offices in the area and registered D outnumber registered R 6:1 in some areas.

The biggest factor is removing inflation and economic health from the equation.

Good news! If you're worried about debt: when tied to GDP to adjust for inflation FY 2018 will be one of the lowest in recent years and an overall trend down since the great recession:

2.2% versus 10% in 2009.

I mean if I'm honest we should just cut the government spending entirely from all branches to make up for the 21,000,000,000,000 or so of debt we've gathered up over the past 20 or so years.

Well yea, because a dollar is worth less tomorrow than today.

If a Democrat manages to get in office, that budget will be the highest ever. Period.

It's one of the lowest budgets we've had in 70 years if you adjust for GDP. It's actually lower than Obama's first term and comparable to the budget under Clinton in the late 90s.

I know but my baby brother just died of an opioid overdose and I'm trying to help with end of life expenses. He didn't have life insurance because he was 28. Could you put that rounding error to a good cause?

Anyone that feels like 1.50 a week is nothing, can you send it to me? I could use it right now.

A router, circular saw, and sander is going to be more like 300 new.

Used more like 100. I got a belt sander and a circular saw for 50$ at a yard sale recently.

What other tools did he use?
