I just finished a freakonomics 2 part series on the tax cuts. Basically, both sides' economists agree that the corporate tax rate needed to be reduced and that cranking up the standard deduction makes things a lot simpler.
it technically adds 1.5T to the deficit, but that's only if the cuts aren't permanent. Therefore it's really 3T cut.
dems argue that theres not simply not enough roi on the cuts bc they're too broad, and they could have got the same benefit with less extreme cuts.
also huge risk of higher income people LLC'ing to take advantage of pass through rates.
We have maligned the American voter for good reason (electing dotus) but the same electorate voted overwhelmingly for Obama. He will go down as a mediocre president and a badass human being, but people still voted for him despite accomplishing virtually nothing after his first two years when the congress flipped.
trump was an outcry from our marginalized fellow citizens. Was it stupid to vote for this conman? Yes. But they voted for him bc he's the first modern candidate that said free trade isn't fair trade and I'm going to fix it. He totally stole that from the 1980's Dems who became too snobby and wealthy to keep that as a platform to build on.
dems need to live and learn; don't run your smugness in and keep it real...no! Keep it treal (I believe that means keep it triple real) and nominate a candidate that is actually relatable.
Went to the spring game and first thing I told my kid was that the defense looked big and athletic. Like Alabama level.
Offense looked notably better in execution and body language. I'm optimistic for a ball control offense with a salty defense. I like what Herman is building. Koolaid flowing. Shown me a loss!
Rented a houseboat there once. I highly recommended it. Beautiful lake and keeps you away from the locals. At least until the weekend. That's when the jet boat locals start to party.
This is the spinoff of the trump reality show that most intrigues me. He's a real life Saul Goodman. I can't imagine all the shady stuff this guy has pulled off and I can't wait to hear about it. Fascinating.
Has anyone added a pool heater to an existing pool without one?
i really want to extend my season from Jun-Sep to May-Oct. also would be fun to crank up the heat one day during Christmas for the kids.
if you have, how much $$ to expect and was it worth it?
SVS makes great subs and for not a lot of money.
im a huge fan of magnapan speakers if you can find some on sale.
yamaha receivers are awesome and you can airplay really high quality sound through your phone.
