Interesting article about medical costs, and an article about fuel costs.

I don’t see the fix in the first article, unless it’s centralizing the system. The Jones Act waiver was an extension. Trump isn’t the first President to waive it. Good on him for keeping the waiver in effect. Don’t need prices rising even more.

People fail to see the humor. Here’s some humor, let’s have a super secret military meeting. We can tell MTG. She won’t blab a thing. Lmfao.

Notice you didn’t address the facts I posted. People didn’t vote for Trump to get Biden 2.0.

There is no humor here. What’s humorous is to hear Trump announce for the 38th time that the Strait of Hormuz is open. 😂

It’s all a part of the Master Plan! Lol

It didn’t come from one of Trump’s yes men so he can’t do it.

I am asking you and Reagan a question about what MTG said. This forum is where you are allowed to ask posters questions to have dialogue. Why so serious? Are you mad because you can’t give a logical answer?

Reagan used to use a feature that if he wanted some posters to comment, it would highlight their names in the post. He was told to stop because that was considered calling someone out and was against board rules. I’m not angry. You give yourself too much credit. Just post your MTG stories and if I want to reply, I will. It’s not because I have no answer, but then that is what you would think.

Not trying to call you out you do that alone  by your blind allegiance to a very flawed individual. 
 

Again….obviously you have no answer to MTG’s statement. 
 

You either post a laughing emoji or try to discredit the source but never do address the substance.  Got it.

Whatever you think Porter. What answer is there to MTG being a beef expert? Again, obviously you are going to keep calling people out. Reagan was reprimanded. I can’t believe you got away with calling all MAGA retards. I was severely scolded for using that term many moons ago. I won’t respond.

I ask your opinion on her statement. You’re blowing this way out of proportion but that’s to be expected when you can’t rebutt her statement because Trump says you’re not suppose to agree with her. 
 

Nevermind the fact that Trump has not given anyone any reason why they are not supposed to like her. Lol 

I never called anyone a MAGA Retard. I posted a meme.

Perfect analogy

Reminder, tariffs are a backdoor tax on American businesses and consumers.

American importers pay the tariff/tax on the good at the port of entry, which is collected by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

That cost is then passed on to the American consumer. You.

This is basic high school economics.
