While you guys are digging up conspiracy theories, the excitement for the DNC is through the roof. I’m hearing it’s impossible to get a ticket, particularly for Thursday night. Longtime Dems are saying the energy now exceeds even 2008. Could be a blue tsunami on the way… Fake excitement and enthusiasm has already burned out. I wonder if the $15 an hour they were paying people to show up wasn’t worth it because $15 won’t get you anymore? Oh the irony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be fake news if Fox carried a story about that when they actually weren't preparing, yessiree bob! But you believe EVERYTHING Fox puts out there, your cultist mouthpiece. I think it would be GREAT if MAGAturds engaged in peaceful protests instead of mayhem, destruction and pooping on things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't we drilling for more oil than ever in American History? So why are gas prices so high? Can't be gouging... we need Uncle Grandpa Jesus Trump to save us!

They're stable unless you compare them to 2020, when demand dropped due to COVID, causing pump prices to tumble. Stop living in 2020 and 2022. I agree with you. I was being sarcastic. I think gas prices are still high (I live in CA, we have a "special blend" so I get it) but the facts are that we are drilling more than ever and there is still a lot of price gouging going on. Especially on Rents. Land lords don't want to lower prices because it devalues their property, so they'd rather keep empty spaces which drives up the costs at restaurants and grocery stores and and and everyplace. Then it makes it harder for small business owners to start a new business because the rents are so high. Then they can't find employees because the rent is too high for all the apartments in town. And it's a crazy cycle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try reading the article dummy. The protesters are yours. Quote This year, organizers behind March on the DNC 2024 are demanding an end of U.S. support for Israel, legal status for 12 million illegal immigrants and abortion protections, among other left-wing items, as they pledge to rally at the start and end of the convention. One protest planned for Tuesday at the Israeli consulate in Chicago calls to "make it great like ‘68." The demonstration was promoted by the group Anti Imperialist Resistance on Instagram. "Whether it’s Genocide Joe, or Killer Kamala, the butchers of Gaza cannot be allowed to gather in Chicago undisturbed," the group's post says. Protesters were coordinating bus rides and drop-offs for fellow demonstrators from out of state, some of whom the source described as professional protesters. Authorities have set up a secure perimeter around the two sites for this year's DNC: the United Center and the McCormick Place Convention Center. And the approved route for demonstrators to march keeps them outside of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engorgeous George 2,271 Posted August 19, 2024 So, $25,000 for first time home buyers. Interesting. Say 1,000,000 a year avail themselves of the program. That is 25 billion dollars a year we need from the federal coffers. Of course as the program will have to be administered there will be costs to transfer that money, costs in federal employees. Say that cost is 10% of the moneys to be allocated or 2.5 billion, then we need to find 27.5 billion dollars every year in the budget. Where will that come from? Probably from increased taxes, but on who? The ultra-rich are difficult to tax as they are happy to move monies off shore which is not necessarily good for investment in this country. The regular rich, well they are pretty good, through their accountants, in putting their money into capital gains mode so they don't pay either. Who pays, the middle income people, that's who. Now as for having that down payment and millions seeking the same stock of homes, well that is going to serve to drive up home prices. The home buyers will still be seeking mortgages of the same dollar amount. The homes are more expensive, and not really more reachable for them due to the down payment. There will be one economic impact, however. Home prices now rising will cause property taxes to increase, both for the home buyers and for existing home owners, many of whom are seniors on fixed incomes. I would argue taht yet again government, in refusing to understqand there is no free money and taht legislation does not produce value will have yet again, through a lack of thinking the program through, have screwed the economy.
