Strike 5,230 Posted February 20 Keep up the fear mongering, libs: Quote Twenty-one percent of voters approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, which is an all-time low, while 68 percent of voters disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion. The Quinnipiac University Poll first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009. In today's poll, 40 percent of Democrats approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 49 percent disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion. Forty percent of voters approve of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job, which is a record high, while 52 percent disapprove and 8 percent did not offer an opinion.

We ALWAYS have it. The question is always about the rate of change of inflation. If you've got links to that go for it. But saying we have inflation and posting articles that don't say that is called lying, something you do frequently. And you're just projecting what you want to happen.

What was the original title of my thread about Trump and Russia? I believe it was called “a time for optimism.” Because I wanted to believe good things were going to happen. Sadly it looks like I will be disappointed. Or how about my thread wishing Trump well when he was sworn in and hoping for the best, because he is my President and I always root for my country? I don’t need to prove anything to you. But if you truly believe what you wrote about me then you’re a bigger moron than I supposed and I supposed you were a pretty big one.

Walmart did not incorporate tariffs into its financial outlook, but Rainey acknowledged that the company isn’t immune to their impact. “We’re going to work really hard to keep prices low for our members and customers,” Rainey said. “We will do the things that we can.” That means being nimble with sourcing. Walmart, for example, is exploring new sourcing for microwave ovens given increased tariffs on aluminum and steel. But Rainey said some goods may have price increases. https://apnews.com/article/walmart-earnings-tariffs-economy-inflation-b1404b671b10ff378887acd28c2d2140 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the other countries tariffs are high. 2. To stop the flow of fentanyl. 3. To stop illegal immigration. 4. To replace income tax. 5. Because tariff is such a beautiful word. 6. As a punishment for this or that slight. I could go on and on. He has no coherent reason for any of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
