Even the "originalists" had no problem with amendments, but I'm quite sure they would have a problem with a cradle to grave nanny state.

But you allowed forced the taxpayers to make final payment. You're welcome.

You better believe it, I expect to get back at least a portion of what I paid for. Unlike your student loan.

I've told you what will work, it's taking away control from the federal government, no "correction" will work.

That argument is old and is complete nonsense. As far as the highways, some ideas such as the interstate highway act make sense, even though the states could probably maintain them better if allowed to keep the money rather than funnel it through our very corrupt federal government. This general welfare you speak of has promoted poverty and modern day slavery by design with your pathetic party at the helm passing out crumbs in exchange for votes.

I very aware of that, more than probably you are. I'm telling you what it will take to get out of the mess we're in, not what it will take to get elected. I have no illusions that it will happen, but at some point we will HAVE to make the correction. It's just sad that folks like yourself think most of our problems happened under the watch of Trump. That's just dumb.

Won't work, at all. As long as a revenue stream exists at the federal government level, it will be abused. None of your ideas will work, the federal government was never intended to support many of the programs we now have, the list of enumerated powers is very short. If the states want to be the nanny state, have at it, but don't expect help from responsible states, the federal government shouldn't have the right to redistribute wealth.

The belt tightening would only affect those that are on the government dole. Of the items you listed, only one is enumerated in the Constitutional, the military. Phase out Medicare, Medicaid, social security, anything not listed in the Constitution. Can't do it immediately, but phase it out over 50 years, take care of those that have actually paid in. I would have loved to have been able to keep the money confiscated for SS and Medicare. Sounds extreme, but wouldn't hurt me or many other Americans that don't depend on the government for day to day needs.

What's sad is you've become 100% democrat, cutting the spending doesn't even seem to be an option you even consider. The only folks that normally take that stance are those benefitting from higher taxes which translate to more enriched entitlements.

lol, Trump has broken you.

No doubt about it, democrats can't win in the arena of ideas, they have to buy their votes.

I guess the sarcasm went right over your head, lol. No surprise.

We’ll know Tuesday, I can’t wait.

Yes, they are

This is part of a larger suite that includes hand counting and box surveillance. Nothing wrong with making sure we get the right result. The claims of gumming up the works makes no sense, kinda like claiming showing an ID will put too much burden on the voters, nonsense.

Let’s see, I’m much worse off than 4 years ago BUT I really don’t like the guy that did a much better job. This is a tough one. 🤔 Moderates, lol.

Pretty sure the democrats are suing.

So democrats did not sue to prevent drop box surveillance?

Apparently it worked, lol. I know you are so disappointed.

I love to watch snowflakes melt.

Absolutely brilliant, makes you proud to be garbage. 🙂

[Hidden Content] From the article: The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations, and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. The Harris campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Black advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of November's election next week, according to FEC filings released last week. Black Voters Matters Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations.

Probably less than you think, not much real political discussion happens here anymore.

[Hidden Content] Anyone that thinks the Harris, or even the Trump, campaign is not capable of manipulating social media to make themselves look better is delusional. The lack of even being willing to look at any subject openly and immediately dismissing the source because they are too lazy or unwilling to consider it is making this forum a waste of time.
