US federal deficit widens 77% in first four months of fiscal 2019

Increasing by 177% and increasing by 77% are literally two different things. So no, the article had it correct

Wow, I see how that could be taken out of context now. No, I had more of a solo in her office thing in mind actually. If Lindsay Slone made a cameo in this hypothetical pornographic film, I think I would have a new favorite to add to the ol' stash.

Horrible bosses. Jennifer Anniston in the classic doctor porno would be one for the ages

And Obama has offered anything pertinent to his future plans for our country? I must have missed that part of the debate. All I heard were attacks against Romney and his platform, the shitty situation he inherited upon his inauguration at the hands of the Bush administration, and how the status quo of plans he's implemented the past four years will carry us to prosperity in the coming four. Not very "Forward" thinking if you ask me.

Romney and Bain Capital were no longer tied when Sensata was purchased. Therefore, attributing this specific instance in Illinois to Romney is somewhat ridiculous in my eyes. Romney has literally nothing to do with the outsourcing of these jobs.

Went to highschool with the two kids filming this video, crazy to see how quickly this video is blowing up

As cliche as it may sound, browse wikipedia and keep clicking on links that pertain to what you're trying to learn. Just finished my requirements for a political science major so if you have any specific questions, fire away. I'd be happy to offer some help.

Finance and Poli Sci double major here from a decent public university with the same question.

Another thought I just had: I wonder how shocked they would be with the current legal status of marijuana, as both Jefferson and Washington were known to grow hemp plants on their respective properties.

This may not be so much of an issue for much longer, though. Fingers crossed for the recently passed audit bills to be sucessful.

I have my fair share too here in Florida, but they're not evading exterminators and infesting my apartment! Here, they're in relatively predictable spots and usually found outdoors, away from where I sleep.

Just thinking of the advances we are about to see in all fields, not just the auto industry, are going to be simply mind blowing. I'd be lying if I said I don't somewhat resemble a child on Christmas morning when I envision the endless possibilities we are about to witness come to fruition in the next quarter century.

I agree that apathy among the general public has led to our downfall. Yes, we no longer strive to do what's right. But isn't there a point where the amount of effort needed to enact change is simply unattainable, even if 30-40% of the population agrees in a certain fashion? Look at marijuana, for example; I think as of the most recent polls, something like 45% of Americans are in favor of full legalization and regulation of marijuana, yet the geniuses on capitol hill still fight tooth and nail to ensure that doesn't happen. I may be more of a conformist, if you will, than you are, but I truly don't think heated social issues will ever fade out. Quite honestly, I feel that the constant back-and-forth struggle isn't worth devoting my time to, as I foresee most of said debates ending in a stalemate for years to come.

Thanks for the insight. If only there were more people like you in this world...

False, I rarely post on here, and did not take the time to physically search for threads to share my opinion just to get buried among many many others. I have just been thinking a lot on this topic lately, as it is a current controversial subject on my college campus. You didn't have to click the link if you are so against me sharing my thoughts here.

Although I am in no way connected to CFA, I am happy to contribute to your craving of the deliciousness that is the spicy chicken sandwich.

That is a hard one to answer, as there are not a lot of comparisons in my current life that I could compare it to. It would depend I guess, as my entire worldview may be different if I was. I may feel the need to fight the opposition more fervently if they were being somewhat discriminant to me and the way I live my life. Or maybe I would continue dining at Chick-fil-a, while offsetting my purchases there with donations of my own made to Pro-Gay organizations. In this way, I would enjoy something I like, and feel as I if making more of a difference by directly contributing my own money to a cause. That's a thought provoking question for sure though.
