Not a word from them when the market dropped at a higher percentage under Biden, twice. These guys are simply upset because they were sure at this point they would be crowing about how we picked such a poor candidate. Gotta admit, I enjoy the melting.

lol

Seems to be more about support for hamas, you remember, the animals that just rushed in on a music festival and massacred innocent men, women and children. Crazy!

No worries!

So no solution from you on options to give someone in a failing school district? Only this, lol. As far as welfare, great suggestion, I would even make it mandatory for the able bodied.

Not a fan of the state sending money to INDEPENDENT school districts but why couldn’t state money follow the student? I’ll throw it back at you, what do you do for students in a bad school district that want better but can’t relocate? And yes, I am for less government.

What’s sad is some folks would love to see a crash.

Putting unneeded government workers out of work is better than putting needed pipeline workers and coal miners out of work. Wouldn’t you agree?

That would definitely be an option. Schools provide a service, if the service is bad, customers should be able to have the option to take their business elsewhere.

lol, never said what I retired with, you’re the only one that boasts about money, which always means you don’t have what you claim. Folks that actually have money don’t brag to others. And what you do isn’t debating, it’s trolling.

But rich folks not paying their fair share is the problem. smh

Not talking about Biden, talking about Bill Clinton, surely that’s who you were referring to when talking about economics and Perot, couldn’t have been Biden.

Spot on, and I hope they keep it up.

Agree, I am continually underestimating them.

Thank you for providing a great example of blaming others. News flash, Trump and Musk aren’t the only rich folks playing by the IRS rules, I would be doing the same thing, less money you can allow the wasteful federal government to confiscate, the better.

Agree, doesn’t make sense to me, I guess some folks are unhappy with their station in life and rather than change it, choose to blame someone else. democrats have mastered the art of fanning those flames.

Certainly there will be those that try to take advantage of any program, but that’s not reason to simply stop trying to come up with something that will work. The main problem to be solved is kids that aren’t getting a quality education. I’ve put 4 kids through school in Lumberton and at no time would I have pulled my kid out to go to Kelly, even if I could have had a little extra cash. Not knocking Kelly at all, great school, but Lumberton schools are as well. If folks are in a substandard school and choose to leave, I would think that’s on the school to fix. We need to figure out a way to give kids in poor options better ones.

As you do many times, you give your opinion as if it’s 100 % fact, it is not. You still haven’t told me what you tell folks that are in a bad school that could take that money and make it work somehow else, and there are plenty that will do just that. These are the folks that should be considered, but you’re more concerned about all the “rich” folks that will game the system. I hope they come up with a way to try it, rather than not try based on what folks “think” will happen.

I think you use the term rich pretty loosely, and I’m not here to argue, just giving my opinion. I think it’s a little arrogant for folks from good schools to speak for folks from poor schools that may be able to get their kid to a better school but can’t afford to move. What are you going to tell parents of kids that aren’t safe or aren’t learning in school? That they can’t apply their money for a better school? Giving folks a choice to leave a bad school is better for those that leave, period.

Don’t necessarily agree that inner some inner city families won’t figure out how to get their kid in a better school when they get $10,000. I also don’t agree that these kids will drag down scores, I think many times these kids may be more driven. It’s all speculation at this point as to how it will affect school districts, but allowing a taxpayer to take THEIR money and apply it for a better opportunity for their kid is never a bad idea.

I’m at retirement age, been through quite a few of these downturns, no need to panic, market always comes back.

Thankfully, states can have the freedom to fix this issue without threat of federal withholding since common sense has returned to the White House.

Biden had been a failure for over 40 years before becoming President. The only folks surprised when his horrible policies did fail are the dim witted. Thankfully, the American people said no more in 2024, at least those paying attention.
