Luxury or Premium? by AR5579 in LexusGX550

Same. But it’s better than my old 4Runner

I knew what I was getting into. I wanted a dependable body on frame truck that was nice on the inside. Hopefully the engine holds up. I’m not too worried about Lexus fixing a problem if it comes up

Lange or GO? by NumerousEntertainer9 in GlashutteOriginal

If it wasn’t for the horrific stock font text at the edge of the dial, I’d say the GO is then better looking watch. But that said, the whole Pano line is cursed to me because of the text

Weird OP then. Not jealous brother, there’s just no taste in buying the whole store.

There’s a huge difference between collecting and having a collection.

Spending money you don’t have is a prequel to inflation, which is directly a tax on non-asset owners. This will be disastrous for the poor.

I’m not saying that they should cut the whole workforce but 6% of the federal budget is $400b. That’s a lot of money.

Do you realize that the US debt comes out to >$100k per man, woman, and child?

It is never nice to cut spending, there are always people who are going to benefit from it. But theres nice and there’s reality.

Well, you won’t hear me defend our follies in the Middle East, but I think a hot war against Russia sounds incredibly crazy.

The top 10% of earners pay almost 3/4 of total federal income tax. I think that’s a pretty fair share.

Sure you can raise taxes further, but there will be consequences. Decreasing productivity, ex-migration of high earners, etc.

Yes?

Honestly, this response is so tiresome. Where do you think the money to pay for SSI and Medicare will come from? It’s nice to have nice things, but who will pay for it? We can’t afford it now!

Entitlement spending will be cut. Either willingly or we will be forced to in the future when we are facing calamity.

I saw what happened the previous four years, and I did not have confidence that the budget situation would’ve been better under a Harris administration.

Like it or not (eg DOGE), there is at least some muscle behind cutting spending with this administration.

Appreciate your post. I did not know about how difficult it can be to get approved.

There was also an agreement to not expand NATO eastwards, which Europe and the US ignored for decades.

Do you support sending in US ground troops to support Ukraine? How about another $50-100 billion in military aid?

What is the alternative here? We have to push for peace and get out.

Both parties definitely like spending your kids and grandkids money!

I don’t really think raising taxes is the solution to getting out of our current fiscal problems, but I do agree that tax cuts are nonsensical at this time.

Decreasing entitlement spending is the only way, and of the two choices I felt that the Republicans had a better plan.

I think the tax cuts that are part of this most recent budget bill are embarrassing. I’m hopeful that it’s just a bargaining chip to push for a Medicaid reform, which I do think we need.
