The dems won’t like having all these judges legislating from the bench according to the Constitution.

We heard it all the time about Bush and now about Trump. Only difference was, none of Hitler’s quotes lined up with what they said. Fake news

The alternative is the fed gov sticking to the Constitution on the limited powers it has and the states handling the rest. I don’t want my fed taxes paying for healthcare, planned parenthood, education, the list goes on and on. The fed gov was given limited powers on purpose in the Constitution. Libs like Obama disagree and call it a “Charter of negative liberties”. That flawed mindset has us trillions of dollars in debt due to spending on bloated ineffective programs that are too large to manage and keep out corruption.

So you think a hamburger joint that employs 50 folks can just somehow absorb that increase without (1) laying folks off, (2) raising prices or (3) somehow magically selling more burgers?

So you do trust the fed gov to decide what is best for the public good and you also trust them to define what is "selfish" as far as what one needs?

[Hidden Content] From the article: On the whole, the study estimates, the average low-wage worker in the city lost $125 a month because of the hike in the minimum.

Are you referring to the large metropolitan area Beaumont westend?

How did you come up with that number? You are right, the free market would adjust, but the adjustment may mean laying off employees or not being able to hire young folks just starting out OR it may adjust by causing a business to close the doors. That’s what happens when folks throw out baseless minimum wages that were never intended for anyone to live off of.

Obviously global warming.

UT alum, can you give me an answer on these two questions?

But you do agree that the fed gov is more capable of deciding how to spend someone's hard earned money than the one that made it, right? And who gets to decide how much one "needs"?

lol...so you think the fed gov is serving a Biblical role by overtaxing folks. Greed, as you call it, is what I call the entrepreneurial spirit, which is what made this country the greatest that has ever existed.

Stick to the wall...the list of nonsensical U.S. policies could take forever to list. We're talking about this particular one he is addressing.

Enough said...you are of the mindset that one should be penalized for success and the money that is confiscated at a higher rate goes to the gov which you obviously think is more capable of spending that money than the one that earned it. Most likely you think it should be taken from the maker and given to the poor downtrodden taker in the form of welfare. That very sentiment is ruining this country.

Do you agree with the policy that the more you make, the higher percentage you should be taxed?

Bargain on how many illegals to allow in...maybe there is no bargaining room on that one. Good for him. Finally we have someone that doesn’t want to bargain on nonsensical policies that are bad for the U.S.

[Hidden Content] What does this guy know?

So give me the solution. And yes, I know Democrats intentions...it’s reflected in policy.

Never again vote for a lib and this nonsense will go away.

We just thought the Kavanaugh hearings were bad...replacing a lib on the SC will showcase the dems resistance and childishness like nothing we’ve ever seen. Bring it on!

I am definitely no fan of eminent domain but if it is for a legit national security problem...I’m all in. Question, if walls don’t work, why does the White House, Fort Knox or any number of rich folks and secured locations need them? We all know they work, Dems are bucking this because they know those that come across benefit them. Stop insulting conservatives intelligence by suggesting otherwise. Democrats are a sad lot, they can never state what their true intentions are, even when everyone knows.

Do you drive on highways? You must be a fan of eminent domain...smh. Take the time to see what present and past border patrol folks have to say about this epidemic and the wall. I consider the boots on the ground to be the experts, not the Democrats in Washington.(who actually thought this was a great idea not long ago) About to be in a deer stand...look forward to continuing the debate later.

5 billion does not make this a centerpiece by a long shot, it’s a drop in the bucket and if a Democrat President was in office the Democrat controlled House would be all over it, their previous statements prove this, as well as it proves their hypocrisy. They are the ones playing games here and the shutdown is 100% on them. As far as evidence of our porous southern border, there is plenty of evidence out there and the last caravan will only embolden more of the same and most likely on a larger scale. Community organizing gets more efficient with time. Build the wall...they work, we all know the opposition has nothing to do with money, it’s because of silly political games from Dems and their hatred for Trump.

An invasion has nothing to do with whether the invaders are armed. Do some research...the numbers coming across (just those that we know about) are alarming.
