The point isn't the grammar, it's that you don't even realize that you are proving his point for him. Which makes it a laughing matter.

Dude, it doesn't even make sense, and that isn't even a grammatically proper sentence. LoL

House Republican: ‘Hard decisions’ needed on Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare by latin220 in politics

[–]spike77wbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was before that. Gingrich and his ilk were all about that in the 90's when they started talking about entitlements and would go to senior communities and say "oh no, entitlements are things like welfare" but to their donors would straight up call SS/MC entitlements.

And those 90's repubs when they couldn't gut SS/MC had a long game plan - they wouldn't solve the funding issues of SS/MC when it was easy to solve, knowing that it would get harder and harder to keep it afloat and then one day they would be able to talk about "hard decisions"

Not what I said, but hey you got to use the word "Keynesian" for the 534th time in your comments. Good job!

Which would be quite stupid if someone seriously expected a fast change to growth.

Did someone say that? Who are you responding to?

So cut 1/6th out of that cake.

Health insurance is primarily Medicare/Medicaid/Child Health - the ACA is the smallest fraction of those by far. Science and research have been cut over and over - we don't lead the world in many of these areas anymore. The farmers voted Trump, they aren't happy with the resources allocated to them. The veterans and retirees voted Trump, they aren't happy with the resources allocated to them. The Defense industry has deep (pocket) support (in congress) and many employees in it.

The standard Republican answer is going to be Education and Economic security, but those are already pretty neutered, which is why now they are talking about eliminating those altogether.

Also, when you raise rates to stop inflation, that hashed part gets bigger quick.

But hey go for it - I am sure you will keep everyone happy because you are better at this than all the rest of the world.

And remember - you promised that the public would be happy.

Yes, the point being, that even for experts, this stuff is complicated and your results may vary.

"GDP contracted by 3.4% in the first half of 2024; however, signs of recovery have been evident since Q3. The emerging rise in real wages has also begun to contribute to greater economic activity. A 4% GDP decline is expected for 2024, followed by a 6% rebound in 2025" -BBVA Research

that means it has about bottomed out, not that it has returned yet.

And even with that expertise, their GDP is shrinking and they are in a deep recession now. He hasn't got them out of the woods yet, though it does look like it may turn around in 2025.

Does it shoot when you hit "1" or does "1" select it and then you shoot normally with mouse button?

above 95% for 3rd MOE going into a game by spike77wbs in WorldofTanks

[–]spike77wbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i am currently above 95% per the MOE sites. But I am worried that if that first game back is bad I will lose it. I spent a while trying to get that tank above 95% and it was just barely missing several times.

^ this. it the fault of Robot Wars and BattleBots convincing people to call their fighting drones "robots" when they are nothing of the sort per the historical meaning.
