(a shameless plug)

345 was mistakenly chosen as 115% of 300, assumingly because 15% is the difference between 85% and 100%, but this is multiplication, not addition.

The numbers in question represent that 300 is 85% of X, NOT that X is 115% of 300.

X * 0.85 = 300
X = 300 / 0.85
X = 353

It is typical for house Dems to put people who live beyond their means ahead of the troops. They don’t get it. It’s not over until the enemy wins. I bet if the war was going badly with high casualties, they would be talking about the war.

Why is it that the Democrats are in favor of a new G.I. bill and Republicans are against?

When in reality it could be handled as an insurance claim the same as any other disability and handled through private health insurance provided to members of our Armed forces and would thus, be an insurance payment and not a government handout.

While this is just a quick thought and in practice, it would require some additional thinking, this little fact (however true at present) and others like it can be overcome. The fact of the matter remains that the government as it “stands” right now, needs to be torn down and rebuilt. You are certainly right as it stands but fortunately, there are no problems that do not have solutions.

Government comes in to repair problem costing even more money for the responsible people and keeping housing prices artificially inflated above the means of responsible parties, keeping their precious division of the classes and race in the political forefront and weakening America all the way around.

And this is not an illegal redistribution of funds or centralized federal power doing exactly what we were warned it would?

Maybe the new party of actual Conservatives should be the Responsible Individual Party of America.

RIP (of) America? Is that morbid or just a statement of fact? Political partying above we the people. The politics of divide and conquer in action.

Sad.

Every emergency spending bill that has come up in the past two to three YEARS has had a massive pile of pork added to it. At this rate, every person in the country could likely get a cool million and there would be more left over.

When this bill started out, the White House said they wanted $108B, a couple days ago, Nitwit Pelosi was talking about $170B…as if it all was going to the war, now it’s up to $195B?

Where is all our tax dollars going? besides their pockets?

“Stop playing politics, stop breaking promises, allow the members of this House to represent their constituents.”

Oh my, a little too late for that. If the Republicans had served their base like they had served their liberal masters, their base would not have deserted them. But the Republicans went to Washington to make deals with the democrats devil and now, surprise!, the devil has come to collect. Anyone with an intelligence greater than their shoe size would have seen this coming, but not our guys. Better luck next time, losers — only the odds are there won’t be a next time. You can be sure the democrats, who play for keeps, will see to that.
