Thanks for agreeing?

Right now, we need to circulate a little more cash. Benchmark 30 year notes are running at ~4.85%, and have hit 5% in the last 2 weeks. Not good news. The job market is slowing. Inflation is running about 2.8% with the benchmark a full 200 basis points higher. Too big a gap. I’m afraid the Fed is a little behind the 8 ball. Employers need lower rates to be able to offset some tariff costs while refinancing debt, and still be able to keep/hire. IMHO, the Fed should lower rates by 50 basis points in September. The gap between inflation and benchmark needs to come down.

Texas GOP's New Congressional Map Would Create 5 New Seats!

House Rules of Procedure: Rule 5, Chapter A, Section 3 (Starts on Page 89) [Hidden Content] Sorry. Took some investigative digging. I still don’t really see a penalty for non-payment other than forfeiture of funds and payment of other fees before receiving any new funding/pay—which is nowhere near the fine amount that could be accrued. - Today

Texas GOP's New Congressional Map Would Create 5 New Seats!
OlDawg replied to Reagan's topic in Political Forum
I think they’re working towards that. Issue is, their key states (Illinois, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, and even Nevada) are already gerrymandered to the Democratic side so much, they can’t get many more—if any—seats out of them. From data I’ve read, Dems seem to gerrymander ‘bigger’, and Reps gerrymander more states but “smaller”—if that makes sense. Ought to be illegal for both. But, I don’t see any way to stop it. Incumbents will want to keep their seats. Just like the reason for no term limits. It does make a joke of representative democracy. But, we really haven’t had that in a very long time anyway. One way might be for a viable minor Party to really make inroads because of public dissatisfaction with the two major Parties. Harder to gerrymander for three. But, that’s a real long shot. -

Reagan replied to Reagan's topic in Political Forum
That's the problem for the Dems. They already have. There's not much for them to do. For example: Massachusetts has "zero" Republican Reps. Although Trump got 36% of the vote in Massachusetts. They can't do anymore. Now, the others may be able to do a little. But the Red States have more of an upside because we are learning to play the game. In the end, it's not going to look good for the Dems. Taking away the illegals being counted in the census is gonna be the real killer! -

The Democrats should just redistrict in Democratic states to add more seats. -

I am now living back in central Texas and am part of the TASO Waco chapter and I will drive to Southeast Texas to ref youth league at $100 a pop as long as I can get 3 games, seriously. Give my email to the people you know. I copy all my college games and watch commercial free. Seriously if they need help [email protected] yes we are short of officials here to. -

I wish everyone would stop thinking about the economy as lowering prices. An economy is simply the circulation of cash. Lots of things contribute to that circulation. New businesses which in turn create new jobs, foreign investments, lowering interest rates so that there is an affordable housing market….etc. I think Trump is doing a fine job. He can’t snap his fingers and lower prices. My wife just fot back from grocery shopping and spent $300+. Thank you Joe Biden.

He’ll settle down. He’s not used to being 1 run ahead in the 1st inning. Lol

Not a good start for Framber

I agree. He said he would release the files and he also said he would fix the economy along with ending the war on day one. HE said he wouldn’t touch Medicare. once again doing and saying are 2 different things. He said he had no knowledge of Maxine being moved. He also said his uncle was a professor who taught the unibomber.
