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:-)

I was just thinking --if some kid bought a $300,000 house now and put $292,000 down on it his payments would probably be less than $89 a month now. Its all on how much you want to go into debt. :-)

“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.

If that's what gets you through the night, sunshine.

If you really have a “new job” show us your pay stub. Your WalMart department manager can print one off for you.

It takes a special kind of stupid to think someone would lie about quitting a job, but you're that special kind of stupid so I guess it all comes together. Tell me, Mr. Stupid, what's the logic behind lying about quitting FedEx?

Like THAT response is gonna convince me otherwise? You’re still a shill.

I'm asking you for the logic behind your assertion. Naturally, your response is, "Uhhhh..... if you don't know I ain't gonna tell you!"
For a company that supposedly screwed you over enough to find another job, you still act like your stupid enough to eat one of Fred's manure sandwiches. Get it?

There's been plenty of times not only myself but quite a few others have asked you about your logic only to be ignored or greeted with a third grade mentality answer which was probably generated from a help sheet that Memphis provided you with since you obviously still worship FedEx.

You certainly are, California has unfunded debts and does not have the ability to coin or print currency. Wait for the future defaults.
Every state has unfunded liabilities for things like pensions. California's is large because Ca is the 4th or 5th largest economy in the world, and is currently running a $7 billion surplus. Ca is doing fine financially and will have funds to pay off the liabilities as they come due.

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.
Trump created an economic bubble by adding the tax 'cuts' to the debt so people could buy now and pay later. Those deferred taxes will need to be paid off with interest added. The debt and deficit are both growing at least double the rate that revenues have increased. Revenues are up ~1% while the deficit (annual) is up by 33% this year, and projected 60% next year compared to Obama's last year. Interest rates are also up, so all that borrowed money costs even more, meaning that the rate of the debt increases is accelerating. It also means we pay more each year on interest, so each year we either lose government services, or just add the increased spending to even further increase the debt.
This is a huge bubble, with annual deficits of well over $1 trillion in what Trump claims is a great economy. At least Obama's spending was to counter a republican recession.

You probably believe that news is fake, but completely believe that the growth created by deferring taxes is 'real.' Do you think it is a coincidence that the added debt due to the tax deferrals is almost exactly the same as the amount corporations have spent on stock buybacks????? Are you aware that inflation is almost double what it was just a couple years ago, meaning that your paycheck buys less, even with your tax deferral? Previous posts indicate home prices going up as much as 20% a year or more, tariffs will add even more to your costs, and gas prices are up 30% or more since Trump took office and added some instability and uncertainty into the oil markets, partly due to allowing Iran to immediately start building nuclear weapons again

Property taxes alone are going to be over $100 a month, insurance will be at least another $50 or so.

Obama's spending was to counter recession? Where did all those trillions go? We'll see how the economy goes under Trump beyond your hyperbole.

Propping up the banks, saving the auto industry from collapse trying to keep people in their homes not out on the street trying to keep an economy that was losing 700,00 per month going while trying to stave off anarchy . Rest assured thanks to his efforts Trump inherited a country in far better shape than what it might otherwise have been in given that Obama inherited from the Republicans the worst recession in 80 years.
But then again this doesn't matter to people like yourself. So let's talk about the only thing that matters to people like you......abortion.

Good, apply the surplus to the unfunded liabilities, surplus gone, unfunded liabilities remain, current budget in deficit..... a definition of being bankrupt. Next.....
