Imagine these numbers a month after people start seeing their larger paychecks. Hey bunny...let's plan that vacation we wanted with the kids this year.

That's fine you think that. We disagree. It happens. But I'm sure we could at least agree that if we spend money on infrastructure spending, we need to cut spending elsewhere. I haven't heard such a proposal yet, have you?
I'm quite sure Trump doesn't give a damn about deficits because he wants to be as popular as possible
I normally would never approve of arbitrary spending decisions based on nothing but a bunch of idiots who couldn't come to an agreement. But sadly, this is the federal government. And they have proven that if they have a dime to spend they will spend it unwisely, and they will be gouged (i see what the contracters bill them - it's insulting). So until we get some adults in the room, I'll take the arbitrary caps over the blank check
Sounded to me like he wants to get "tough on crime"... and with Sessions I have little doubt that they will be focusing resources on the wrong things
I'll never support price controls on anything as countries like Venezuela has shown us how ineffective it is. Plus it is anti-freedom (cue 57 mocking freedom
Too much money to be made here and too many deep staters in place to make change. Need a libertarian in office to make change. Obama promised but of course did not deliver.
We like to commit war crimes and then cry foul when Russia or other countries do it
1. The federal government isn't equipped to do this effectively. They are behind the curve on all technology and the beaurocracy would create a nightmare for efficiency in both cost and results.
But even if they had a grasp on it... we can not keep adding entitlements bc as you acknowledged, we will never be able to take it away. Cue the cries of killing unemployed mother of 4 who can no longer get the education she needs due to proposed spending cuts.

Woo hoo. At $9 per week in a year we can buy a bus ticket to Cleveland . . . for one.

Can't you just let us peasants enjoy our crumbs?
It's much preferable to having to give away the entire cake in order to comply with ACA

I share your (sturg and jaw) skepticism about the efficacy of getting the federal government in on the job training, etc, though probably not for the same reasons. It doesn't seem to me like a worthwhile rabbit hole to go down.
Prescription drugs are another thing entirely. They're cheaper, significantly cheaper, in other developed countries around the world. What drives that is various forms of government intervention, but not direct price controls. There are many tools in that toolbox that could be deployed without shouting "Venezuela!"

Trump played the Democrats on immigration. Completely flipped the narrative and now the Dems are in a tough spot. Are they going to publically turn down a deal that grants 1.8M DACA aged illegals a pathway to citizenship? An even more generous offer in not only number but benefits that Obama gave?

Right now, Earth’s magnetic field is decreasing 10 times faster than normal, which is why many scientists believe this century could see a pole reversal. The latest satellite imagery data from ESA suggests the north magnetic pole is especially turbulent and unpredictable.
In the last 50 years, the north magnetic pole has already moved considerably — so much so that satellites orbiting right above the South Atlantic, which is near the geographic South Pole, are now bombarded by charged particles from the sun and interstellar space.
The planet’s magnetic field acts like a shield against this sort of radiation but since pole reversal implies a temporary weakening of the field first, radiation exposure is bound to increase.
So what does this all mean for us? Not anything good, unfortunately.
Because the field’s intensity is bound to decrease considerably, much more radiation from space will be able to reach the planet’s surface than it does today. However, life on Earth shouldn’t be affected too much by this directly — humanity has lived through several pole reversals and we’re still here. Likewise, there were no mass extinction events coinciding with a pole reversal that scientists could find.
However, much has changed since the last time the planet’s magnetic field weakened by this much. For one, much of our existence is predicated on not only electrical power but also satellite-based communications, which nowadays are synced so much with the power grid that the two are basically inseparable. If our fleet of satellites was to suddenly come offline, much the world could suffer blackouts which could last for years. In the ensuing chaos, it’s anyone guess what would happen next.

There was a team of European scientists that hypothesized climate change is being caused not by CO2 but by the polar shift. I'll look for a link, but I think they were published.
