I firmly believe there will be a day of fiscal reckoning in those states as well that will make any sane voter question these irresponsible policies. If there are any sane voters left. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there are enough left now to make any difference anyway.Quote:

Good point and distinction. Serious question CAF as I’m trying to figure this out. When you say for thosewho believe in Obamacare for undocumented, are you referring to candidates or people in general who support it? Not sure this was the original intent from the Democrats when it was rolled out. When Obama discussed this during his 2009 speech to joint session of Congress, he said Obamacare was not for undocumented receiving healthcare which led to the infamous Joe Wilson outburst “you lie.” Can I assume this stance has changed?Quote:

Hickenlooper loves capitalism, private insurance and supports Obamacare. He started and owned a brewery in a marijuana state. He took his mom to see Deep Throat. What else do you need?
And he's polling at like negative 5% with the Dems.
Of course.Quote:

I can't cost that much more to run a College now than it did 20 years ago. Ultimately affordable state school tuition would seem to be an answer to a lot of the problem, but students also have to exercise fiscal responsibility and major in fields of study in which there are jobs.Quote:

If I'm loaning someone $250K to study sociology at Amherst I would think I'm much less likely to be repaid.
Nike Nixes ‘Betsy Ross Flag’ Sneaker After Colin Kaepernick Intervenes - WSJ
Ok this one is insane.
Arizona Governor Pulls State Aid for Nike Plant Over Betsy Ross-Colin Kaepernick Controversy - WSJ
And to be fair this is also pretty insane.
Quote:
Nike plans to invest $185 million to open a manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Ariz., that would employ about 500 people, according to city records. On Monday, the Goodyear City Council approved a package of incentives that would reimburse the company about $1 million in planning fees and about $4,000 per full-time employee Nike hires, according to city records.
I'm ready to make my endorsement in the Democratic Primary. I'd probably be okay with Biden winning, and I might even vote for him (not that my Kansas vote matters), but the only Democrat I would actively support is Andrew Yang. His being the only candidate to come out and unequivocally denounce the beating of Andy Ngo in Portland by Antifa thugs over the weekend (with so much of the Left being somewhere between "I loved it" to "Yeah, it shouldn't have happened, but he kind of deserved it") put me over the top.
Insane. Totally insane. If Nike wants to give Colin Kaepernick veto power over their shoe designs they should at least do it before they ship them out to stores. They can put him on payroll. Director of "Wokeness" or some such bullshit.Quote:
