    Or maybe because we were actively countering them this time? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/pentagon-launches-first-cyber-operation-to-deter-russian-interference-in-midterm-elections/2018/10/23/12ec6e7e-d6df-11e8-83a2-d1c3da28d6b6_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4f486331adbe

    It's calculated off the pay chart for your rank and TIS, not off of your LES.... If they had calculated it the way you wanted them to, your retirement pay would have been less than it is now because of the pay raise at the beginning of the year.

    You're a fucking idiot.

    Just because you pick a school, it doesn't mean the school picks you. Private schools can absolutely pick and choose who they let in, and if they're for profit why would they let anyone in that's going to cost them more to educate (i.e. anyone with a learning disability, etc)? It would just cut into their profits. School vouchers = privatize the profits and socialize the costs.

    I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, his argument is that we are ALREADY doing that. Except that the wealth transfer is going to places it doesn't need to go to, and that we can shift that spending from one area to another area which may have a greater impact on our society. So instead of spending billions on the "war on drugs" for example, we instead spend billions in offering a higher education for our people.

    Only 3 countries in the G20 have a higher percentage than us in the debt to GDP category: Japan, Italy, and Singapore. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt-to-gdp

    We had growth way over 2.9% over the last 8 years. Q2 of 2014 saw 5.1% followed by Q3 of 2014 with 4.9%. Q4 of '11 was 4.7% There were multiple quarters in the 3%+ range. Also note that for the years 2013-2017 the deficit was 1/3 to 1/2 of what it was in 2009-2012.

    Federal spending goes into GDP. Thanks to huge deficit spending we get a high GDP and the national debt goes into overdrive.

    Moose had stated that $50k is an awfully low price Trump had to pay the hackers, when they could've received millions from him. I only pointed out, using Trump's own words, that he's the best deal maker in the world.

    Kind of like if his lawyer paid $50k in cash to an unknown technology company for "tech services" during and in connection with the campaign that was hidden in the Stormy Daniels payout? Page 16 of the criminal information filed in Cohen's case yesterday mentioned a reimbursement for "tech services" that Cohen solicited "on behalf of the campaign". Coincidentally page 34 of the Steele dossier discusses Cohen's involvement in making "deniable cash payments to hackers who had worked in Europe under Kremlin direction..." The $50k cash payment having been made not long after Cohen was reportedly in Prague. Why would the campaign need to make a payment to a legit tech company doing legal tech work through the Trump Organization, and why would it need to be made surreptitiously through Cohen, and in cash no less? Cohen, of course, being Trump's "fixer" with no official role in the campaign.

    I expect the day will come that Mattis speaks out against Trump over something and all the MAGA heads start denigrating him over it.

    The same should be said about reality TV stars... but here we are, with one in the WH.

    Didn't that same report say that the $32T was a $2T savings over what we'll spend with our current system?

    Just because you don't remember it, old man, doesn't mean it didn't matter to me. 😉

    Meanwhile in the real world, Q3 borrowing is now predicted to be $329B, up 74% from last year. Q4 looks worse. So much winning (winning a larger debt that is).

    And his failure to get reelected will be as direct response to him.

    Meaning there was 411 other pages of evidence justifying the need for a FISA warrant.

    You're going to get crickets because it shows the Republican released memo was a fabrication. The central point of the memo was that the FBI didn't tell the FISA court about Steele's political motives, when in fact the footnote disclosing Steele’s possible bias takes up more than a full page in the applications, so there is literally no way the FISA Court could have missed it. When Rubio backs the FISA warrant, then it's abundantly clear Nunez is full of shit and was just trying to disrupt the investigation.

    Do you want a super villain? Cause badmouthing a philanthropic kabzillionaire who loves to make rocket ships, flame throwers, and submarines is how you get a super villain.

    I didn't say I was anti voter ID, you all just made that assumption. I just said that just because someone may be in a situation where obtaining one is extremely hard for them it doesn't make them a lazy ass. But feel free to keep putting words in my mouth because you can't read something for what it actually says.

    A 98 year old at a nursing care facility who has voted their entire lives, but now has no need for a driver's license or other photo ID is now a lazy ass. Noted.
