2+ ..... or 6+ more years

Work still to be done, as noted

Not unlike with the DEBT.

The article noted it - the president did not, arguing that he had destroyed ISIS.

But the phrase is not "work still to be done," when it comes to the DEBT. It's "Work as yet unbegun and going actively in the wrong direction.

The projection for Fiscal 2019 prior to Trump's tax legislation getting passed saw a trillion dollar plus deficit at least a year later than Trump's not got it. Over the ensuing decade, Trump's plan raises the national debt by more than $10 trillion above where it would otherwise have gone.

Nor is "fixing" social security going to fix it.

“ if you don't approve of the job I am doing, you are welcome to complain to the Admin about it.

Josh has a job on here?

Keep up with the conversation Red.
I did.

Of course. That's why you asked the question.

Uh huh.

Troll is your job?
Time to morph into Evvie again.

That would be hard to do. I'd have to have done it once.

But given that you don't believe in science, it's not shocking that you don't believe in IP addresses, either.

Lost one argument, so you shifted to another asinine claim. I don't know where she is, but I sure couldn't blame her if she didn't return.

IP addresses are science?
How about Zip Codes.?
Postal Addresses?

Quote
a review by the state of Virginia has confirmed immigrant teenagers were strapped to chairs and had mesh bags placed over their heads while being held at the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center. But the state concluded this harsh treatment did not meet the state’s legal threshold of abuse or neglect. The state review came after the Associated Press revealed in June that children as young as 14 said they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells..."

Dear Red,

Once upon a time, we had these things called computers which allowed us to post things on the internet. When we posted, sometime websites would show an IP address.

Technology, the application of science, permitted the user's IP address to be seen. It did not permit the zip codes to be seen, except in so far as an IP address might lead to one, as an IP address would show which Internet Provider the person was using, allowing research of that company's local setting from the number.

Zip codes don't work as well alone, though the postmark may indicate which post office a letter item is from. You could apply that science-derived technology to look them up.

Similarly, if you were to call me, I could look up your area code, should you fail to block your number. That, too, involves science - but neither zip nor area codes are as simple or direct as an IP address.

All the best,

~Josh

p.s. Morse code also seems like it might be useful to you, as you are coming across as ditzy.

Disagree.

It has begun.  The necessary expenditures to get the nation up to speed have just been greater than the cuts.

Nice headline.

When a party’s electoral strategy is contingent on making sure fewer people vote, it means that party knows its policies suck for most people.

And that it’s candidates are scumbags and scoundrels.

Red, it’s cute you think you posted something worth responding to. Wrong, but cute.
