In 2007 yeah. It was a joke of policy, just a handjob for the rich that lead to them socking away more because they know it will happen again, and actually made the goals it was trying to accomplish worse

Graham is only in it to throw bombs at Paul so yeah, it kind of is a waste of time and money.

Sure did. All the promised "investment" mostly just ended up being spent on share buybacks and special dividends.

Jim Robinson over at FReep has just come out and endorsed Trump. Election-wise, that won't mean much but it's an indication that Trump has won the heart of the stupid and mean section of the GOP base.

Based on Trumps current trajectory, I expect that he will SWAT any debates that do not invite him.

So McConnell announced he had a deal with the democrats for the highway fund and that the vote on cloture would be at 4.

Only problem is the Dems haven't seen the deal McConnell made with them, only Barbra Boxer has, and Reid and the rest of the caucus want time to look at it since they got blindsided here


Oh, and in a sign of water under the bridge, McConnell is the special guest for a fundraising event for Matt Bevin on August 28th. You may recall that about a year ago Bevin and McConnell were having a rather heated primary fight

Yeah it's always a good idea to let a country know the date, time, and method of how you would attack them roughly two years in advance.

How do people get away with saying this stuff when social media is so ubiquitous?
