Soro's foundation funds many left wing groups around the world. Those NGOs in turn fund those refugee migrations in Europe and now in central america.

Well then we are all connected to the caravan if we are playing the Kevin Bacon , Six Degrees of Seperation game!

Quit whining and start backing up your unsubstantiated claims.

Or not.

That's the nature of the position. After the 2010 elections in which Democrats were soundly beaten, Obama said:

He admitted he may have been out of touch with the mood in the US, saying that was a consequence of being in the White House "bubble", and maybe he had got the message wrong during campaigning.

"The election ... underscores for me that I've got to do a better job, just like everybody else in Washington does."


So Obama did take blame for the election results. If Republicans get beaten in 5 days, will Trump take part of the blame? That is a rhetorical question. I'm fairly certain I know the answer.

Soros is not funding this caravan.

You and dilbert are lying when saying so.

Neither of you have offered proof.

Be like saying Catholics are funding pedophiles.

The truth matters, context matters. Soros is not funding this caravan. It is a lie if you imply that he is.

Next I am not disparaging you, I'm disparaging a lie.

Nobody has posted any credible evidence of Soros funding this caravan.

Soros is not stupid and that would have been stupid.

Next there has been no evidence of ISIS mingled in with them.

Those are lies.

That's a lie! You said we already borrowed $1.5 trillion... when every economist in the country knows that's what could be added to the deficit OVER 10 YEARS!

This is Year 1 - so we haven't even borrowed 1/10 of that total yet due to the tax bill.

Where did you study economics again?

Yes, he launders the funds so people like WTF will have trouble following the money!

Of course that small nugget will be lost lost on some...

Because statutory minimums put an artificial floor under ALL industries without discriminating - and they have perverse side-effects such as reducing work for the least skilled workers they are supposed to help!

Of course that big, obvious, empirically proven nugget will be lost on some...

Both limiting the suppy of labor and a minimum wage artificially manipulate the price of Labor.

But I'm sure some on here will take exception to that fact

So then you will have no trouble betting me that in 2019 will have 4% GDP ... I bet it a sugar high. And am willing to put my money where you wish your mouth was

Lets do a year ban bet

He went to the famous University of Houston - well known for zero Nobel Prize winners in economics.

He idea of economics is if he has cash in his pocket that his wife doesn't know about - he'll contribute to the beer and cigarette economy.

"There's nothing more expensive than a cheap tool."

Quality over price every time. If one buys a tool that doesn't do the job, and one has to buy an additional tool or tools to finish the job; then one has spent more money on cheap tools than one would have spent on a quality tool to begin with. Same holds true if you break three or four cheap tools doing a job when a quality tool would have endured the tasks without breaking.

There's an old time anecdote about a mountain man who lost his favorite ax. The dejected old man regretted its loss terribly, and he opined that it had served him well over the course of many, many years: he'd only replaced the head three times and the handle seven times.

My problem is not with quality of products, it is with paying more for the SAME products due to tariffs. Anything made with steel or aluminum for example. Washing machines. Solar energy modules. Pay increases are irrelevant to me personally.

I do agree with you and LL in that I would prefer to purchase a product made in this country IF they are price comparable. If not, there is a limit to how much more I will pay for the product of similar quality built here.

I was doing ok with the GOP bush recession and I'm still doing ok with the Obama economy. Even though the GOP gave a huge tax cut to the rich and said....it's a middle class tax cut lol. Stupid people actually believed that...smh and enjoying their domestic and foreign input. If the shoe fits post away lol
