Don't forget the extremely legally questionable loan from his father.

While a few of them may be figuring that out, I doubt that all of them will. Because that requires thinking skills.

It turned out to be nothing. I was a silly git and I'm resolving to do my best not to continue in that vein.

I'll be at marching on Saturday.

I'll bet she's one of those maroons who think that Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are two separate and, like, totally different things. And that the Repubs are going to repeal Obamacare, but that's totally OK. Because she'll still have her insurance under the ACA.

Because stupid.

As I mentioned elsewhere, if I have to choose between paying an extra $100 in taxes to help repave Georgia Ave., or paying $200 or more to have my axle unbent and my wheels aligned after driving down Georgia Ave. one too many times, then I know which one I pick.

Good thing, then, that we're apparently outsourcing the job to Russia.

People seem not to understand that their are two sides to taxes. You spend yes but you receive services like roads, fire departments, schools-etc. I have had plenty of opportunities to move to a lower tax State but I chose to stay in NY because I like the amenities. I say this as someone in the highest tax bracket.

Yup.Some years ago, I looked at my tax return and the state and county budget, and worked out that my local library costs me about $35 a year, or about $3/month. And for that money, I can borrow more books, CDs, and movies than I can carry, let alone read.I believe Netflix starts at $8/month.

I love my library and I love Netflix but even things that I don't use I see value in. I don't play hockey but I'm glad my town has a rink for those that do. I am not old enough to use the center for the aging but I am happy it is there for those depend on it.

Glad it turned out to be nothing. Sorry I didn't check in yesterday.

it will go up but not in ways we can count since access to abortion is getting harder and harder for many women every day. don't get me wrong, abortions won't stop. they will go back underground where the numbers won't really be known. neither the numbers of abortions or the numbers of maternal lives lost or compromised due to the underground abortions. between losing access to both abortions and birth control, never mind cancer and std screenings, losing Planned Parenthood would have a huge impact on mortality rates in the US. for poor people, mainly. so it will work exactly as intended.
