As long as we continue to have balanced budgets or surpluses we won't default. Ttku

You have unfunded previous debt. If what you say is true, you are only treading water. Wait until some of the unfunded debt starts becoming current payable debt.

Thanks for confirming my post. Yes we have debt just like the US Federal Debt. But we are by no means bankrupt.

Didn't confirm anything. The dictionary says Cali is bankrupt.

Hey, what the hell ever happened to ol’ Upstate anyway???

He's on here posting under a different handle. Anytime you see a post that praises management or wants you to vote yes it could be him.

Yes you are, California is so ass backwards...

Hmmm, Germany has gone bankrupt eight times. Greece is currently on the brink. The size of the economy doesn't guarantee that the possibility of bankruptcy is nonexistent.

No idea if it includes PT employees. It was mentioned to me by one of my old colleagues. He says it should be announced soon since ops managers have already gotten the announcement.

“One of your old colleagues” my ass. Just like your “friend” who’s computer crashed because of visiting infected porn sites.

You got this info first hand from upper management who keeps you in the loop becuase you never quit.

Can you adopt and then change your mind after 2 weeks? I'm looking to do this about 26 times this year, will this be a problem?

I had a grand total of 1 day off for my 2 kids. Not one each--just one. That was back when men were men and didn't have to let their V jay jays heal up after ma had the baby.

Back when men were men and the average Joe only needed 1 weeks pay to cover his rent/mortgage. Ah the good old days. lol.

A competitive labor market improves benefits. Thank you President Trump!

Something tells me your economic life is as marginal now as it was when GDP growth hit comparable levels (several times) under Obama. In fact, I highly doubt that you could provide one instance, in your entire life, where you were unequivocally better off when the party you favor was in office as apposed to when “the bad guys” had control (negative consequences derived from your own stupidity don’t count).

What’s the average house price in your zip code? Just curious.

What’s the average house price in your zip code? Just curious.

According to Zillow (off of Google) its $156,000. We do have lots of million dollar plus homes around some of the bigger lakes.
What about you? I don't know where they come up with that figure because I just looked at the Homes for Sale section in the paper and the cheapest one I see is $179,000 with most of them around the $250,000 to $350,000 range.

The city where my station is: $275k.

I bought my house over 10 years ago but there’s no way I could afford it now if I were buying.

Back when you could buy a house on one income and still be comfortable.

Same here. Home prices are skyrocketing, where I am. Homes in my neighbourhood going for $100 000 more than we paid, just a few years ago.

I've told this before---my 1st home (3 bedroom on a nice lake) cost me $18.000. I had put $10,000 down on it so my house payments were $89 a month. That included taxes and insurance. Times were tough

Yawn. By the way, Obama never hit 3% growth for an entire year, unlike any other president. Pretty sure Trump will, and it's due to Trump's policies. Doesn't matter whether I'm better off. What matters is if things overall are improving for the majority of people. Sure looks like it. Policies matter, and it sure looks like Trump's policies are better for everyone, not just the 1%.

And P.S. I was a young man during the Reagan years. We had options then. It looks like this is the first President since Reagan where young adults can say the same. You're just going to have to deal with the concept that things are improving. Don't worry, it's a good thing.

I think the guy is second semester econ. Was gonna make that point earlier, would have been first semester at that time. He seems to have a topic he thinks he understands. I could tell long ago he comes from the Keynesian school. Young smartass, thinks he knows everything. If he's not smart, in his 60's he'll be a floridays. Probably not, he's much more intelligent than a mango man.
