US Tariffs, Sigh!

But life expectancy is constantly increasing. And child mortality is constantly falling. Think about it.
1 - how many meds do you have to take to keep you alive?
2 - what's the quality of life?
3 - other peer countries have a longer life expectancy than the US.

communist mamdani won the mayor race. and this morning bright and early he's asking for donations
Hi Geneva,

Why do you say he's a communist, as far as I can tell from searching around the web, I cannot find any legit proof he is one? If you have legit proof, I'd like to see it.

Wasn't Virginia a bigger upset than New York?

I think right now due to the shutdown, despite Trump's best efforts to blame the Democrats, a lot of people are blaming Republicans since they hold the majority in the senate, Congress and President.... So while I may seem like it's going to be a big blue wave I'm betting come midterms once the shutdown is over it'll be status quo like normal

An election?
Did the people get to voice their opinion? God forbid that spreads across the country?
Personally, IDGAF who the mayor of NYC is, it doesn't impact me in the slightest. If he can show his policies can produce results, I'm all for it. Better for them to play in someone else's backyard than mine, bring successful policies my way after they're proven.

He probably won't get far on his agenda.

He is a practicing Muslim so he's being compared to London's mayor. He's also only 34 and never had a job. New York is the financial capital of the world with 8.48 million residents. He made a lot of promises he won't be able to keep.

• Fast and free buses
(paid for by the tax increase, not sure how you make them faster?)

• Government run grocery stores with cheaper groceries
(there's only a 1-2% mark-up on groceries to begin with and over 16,000 grocery stores in NY so he will never be able to make a dent)

• Tax millionaires and above 1-2%
(Governor Hochul is the only one who can increase this tax and it doesn't sound like she's going to do it because the rich will flee)

• Rent freeze
(he can only freeze rent in government housing and I think again, the Governor has to approve it and not sure she is going to do that)

• Construct 200,000 new government apartments
(with all the regulations and red-tape - good luck. It takes 6-12 months just to build a 1 family house)

• Defund the police crap again so will probably become more dangerous and with all the "free" handouts a haven for losers looking for free stuff.

can't get the required 60 votes when the Democrats keep voting against their previously approved CR.
...but sure, "orange man bad" because he's allowing them to throw a tantrum.

maybe try reading sometime, rather than regurgitating libtard talking points.

Your right, God damn libtards blaming the president saying it's the president's job to get people together, and is his fault for a shutdown.

As usual you're living in a wonderland, throw out slurs / name calling instead of having a proper discussion. Wasn't it you that got mad people said magat before? Haven't heard 1 person mock a Republican or call them names in the past 10 pages, but it seems to be your go to defense when you have nothing smart to say, you're like a toddler :roflmao:

Hell I'm game to see what he does. Once again, no skin off my back. Those NYC folks seem to like him enough. I'm quite interested to see how his increased tax on the wealthy plays out.

They don't need the 60 votes, they can nuke the filibuster and move right along, they're just afraid of losing that leverage when the tables are turned, as they should be.

meh, only half of the registered voters turned out.... seems like NYC residents just don't care.
honestly, here in the midwest I could care less. i'm more excited that minneapolis thwarted the somali pirate.

Obamacare is CRAP. They subsidized the crap out of it and now the subsidies are running out. My healthcare insurance went through the roof when they started obamacare. They corporatized the medical industry and turned doctors into corporations.
Nobody is brainwashed about "healthcare" except for the people who think "healthcare for all" is an atual "THING".
People arging for "healthcare" are actually arguing for "insurance". Under America's old system, we had private healthcare insurance and then medicaid and/or cash pay.
Obamacare set in place a requirement that everyone had to have insurance. Which corporatized medicine.
From what I understand Canadian medicine isn't any better.
And it's been long standing that people used to come to America for our healthcare system. But that is no longer the case because of obamacare. What a disaster.
From what you understand?
My wife was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago. She was in for surgery in 3 weeks, weekly follow ups for 3 months, then monthly for another year and every 6 months after that.
All drugs included for 10 years. My only out of pocket expense was parking at the hospital.
Canadian health care has its issues, but you are deluded if you think the US system is better.
