Are you against subprime mortgages for low-income homebuyers who are often racial minorities?

 

[Box Ox]

It was good to see DNC co-chair David Hogg push back against leftist insanity to some degree on Bill Maher's show last night. The party has a long road back because leftist insanity is now a religion for many. It fills a hole for them. But at least we've got an indication that leadership knows what the actual problem is.

He's been so strident in his views that I'd be concerned, if I were a moderate Democrat, about trusting him.

Oh well.

Hogg should be barbecued

Hogg should be barbecued

Might be a tall order if he's now in ideological compliance with the leftists. They'd rather lose 1,000 elections and whine about it every time while ceding power to the Republicans than give up their religion.

Both sides are in a race to see who can throw away the biggest opportunities.

I’m not sure who will “win”.

Pretty certain they didn't put no tax on Social Security in the House bill. Gave a $4000 increase in the standard deduction instead.

thats what i was referring to . the cap for the 4000 is 75k/ 150K.

my money is on the repubs to squander

The money bit is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I don’t care what stupid stuff President Trump tweets. I don’t care who leaked what messages accidentally.

But if the deficit keeps getting worse and this gamble doesn’t pay off, it’s gonna be hard to get enthusiastic about voting for more of this.

I’m pessimistic, but the dude needs to be allowed to sail the boat for a bit here. Hopefully he knows what he’s doing.

I'm asking because talking about how the cleanup should be done doesn't seem to make much sense if you're for the things that caused the problem in the first place.

i thought the senate was supposed to do their own thing instead of just threatening to vote against the house version?

per Axios.

Might take that with a grain of salt

I’m sure it’s all part of the game. But this bill is full of spending that is concerning.

The Senator from Minnesota. Probably just wants to say some things for the cameras before he goes along with it too.

They probably want to make sure their own pork projects end up in the bill.

ok as i understand the process
the house passes their version, - done
the senate passes their version - now whats taking place

then if they're different then they have a conference committee meet to combine the two
then both sides vote on the final version.

so i think we are at the senate passing their version stage which means these articles about the senate voting against the house version is just some made up drama by the press.
