The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

6) You are kidding yourself if you think that even that pittance might get direct to the starving or natural disaster victims.

The argument you are referring to is what I call "The Tyranny of OR"

We should be setting priorities and cutting programs, but the simplistic argument "we can't do X (program unpopular to me) and until we do Y (program popular to me) is disingenuous and simplistic

In truth you can do both X AND Y if they are both strategically important programs.

Or we could do X and stop doing Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, etc.

(I'm a fiscal conservative. In the era of deficit spending, we just spend on whatever we want, but don't get me started. there is not hard cap on what we can do)
 
The wall is back on...how desperate dems must be to admit Trump was right and give in to that. My my.

Lol I was just coming to post this. Except per usual Biden blames Trump for Biden building Trump's wall. Lol this stuff never gets old. It's somewhat genius as Democrats will still blame Trump for Biden building Trump's wall but hey... Trump's right again though Democrats will not admit it. I just wonder if Democrats will hold Biden to the same "hostility" (hmmMm) that they held Trump. We all know the answer to that.

So you admit others hostility but only attack me. Then you proceed to attack me above but it's somehow my fault that you attacked me. I didn't attack you, I didn't even mention you yet you attacked me. Once again you added nothing but drama. C'mon dude. Talk politics instead of gang up on me. This is always how it goes.

I'm talking politics, you're nothing but drama. You are literally proving my point that it's not me being hostile, it's you. You're the one that injected yourself into this bashing of me and added nothing of substance. I'm on point of politics you're on point of the very people you admit attack me. Let's talk politics not gang up on me again. Please.
I had your back when you wanted political debate to be more civil, I had that other person's back when he was pointing out how confrontational you were being in the most recent conversation. I gave advice to you that I genuinely thought would make the overall political discourse more civil.

I've already said before I enjoy lurking and reading this thread, and that I like you. I don't feel particularly comfortable directly discussing politics, but I enjoy reading others doing it, and the hostility annoys me (including the hostility towards you).

I don't think I'm trying to inject drama in here, quite the opposite. Sorry if it came off that way.

As confusing as this is to folks who believe the President is above the law, Biden is just following the law:
“Congress appropriated fiscal year 2019 funds for the construction of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHS is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose,” the CBP spokesperson said, adding that the project was consistent with President Joe Biden's proclamation after taking office that ended the use of military funds for border wall construction and using money provided by Congress instead.

Darn it. That's not nearly as fun
 
One thing that definitely wont help fix the border is to not pay the border patrol. Which is what happens if there is a government shutdown. Which the republican led House seems to want.
Of course we all know that the republican party politicians dont actually care about the border. They just care about complaining about the democrats and causing chaos. They dont actually want the problems at the border to be fixed. If the border were to be fixed then there would be one less thing to complain about and to blame the democrats for. Republicans dont want that.
 

The US labor market surged in September, blowing expectations out of the water by adding 336,000 jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday.
