Living expands until just beyond means, then stops. If means shrinks, like lets say someone placed massive tariffs on our main supplier of goods, then living shrinks to meet the means.

Someone should ask Trump if he is successful with this and deporting permanent residents for being against the government, what would stop the next president from deporting Baron Trump?
No, he rescinded the ones from February so that his base can go around saying “What tarrifs? He rescinded them,” while simultaneously complaining about the retaliation tarrifs.
Basically MAGA thinks only Canada currently has tariffs on us.
Anyone want to provide insight on what this would do to IEPs in schools? I know it doesn’t change the law but it might get rid of all enforcement of said law.
I feel like a good guide to “good policies the next democratic presidential candidate should promote” should be the opposite of the list of things Trump did in his first month.
Its going to be a 60 year-old rich democrat from New England promising to “work across the aisle” and “promote small businesses with tax cuts and less regulation”, but hopefully some of this stuff will be undone.
Just as long as the foreign agents bill doesn’t conflict with the EU’s law on press freedom. If it does, Mexico will never be admitted to the EU. Wait, I’m thinking of Georgia. Never mind, carry on.
Why is Musk’s bullet shield ranked above Trump?
Can private citizens bring charges?
This, strangely, is one thing republicans have in the past been upset over - and I have no idea why. You would think their support of for-profit prisons and there support of detaining all undocumented immigrants would mean this would fit perfectly, but from Clinton out to Biden every time someone tried this, Republicans got irrationally upset over it.
Trump: “If food prices are so high, what if we just… keep all the food here? That will bring them down, right?”
Just once I would like to have a Republican senator running on an ultra-conservative platform get elected and the reveal they are secretly an ultra-progressive.
Bill Clinton warned of detention space restrictions. Wanted to expand the space. Congress said no.
Bush filled them up to the point that the UN started to call it a crime against humanity. So he release a bunch right before Obama took office.
Obama got blamed for one of the Bush releases murdering someone. He requested more space - but congress said no. So, he decided instead of randomly releasing people, he would just released all non-criminals (until their application hearings). That freed up space until his second term. During his second term he again requested more space, and congress said no. So he released all the non-violent criminals to make room to put more violent ones in.
Trump comes to power for the first time, and starts kidnapping (immigrant) children as a way of scaring off immigrants. Once that was deemed illegal, he was at a loss until COVID. With COVID, he started the “apply on your side” policy forcing asylum seekers to return to the Mexican side of the border before applying for asylum. This, of course, was not law but an “emergency” order for COVID times. This cleared out some space.
Biden took over and kept the “apply on your side” policy. Once COVID was gone, he asked congress for more room. Congress, at the behest of Trump, said no. So he declared a “border emergency” and reinstated the “apply on your side” policy.
Trump returned somehow. Congress passes the “Laken-Riley act”, an act to put the non-violent criminals back in custody. Basically how it was during Obama’s first term before they ran out of room. Yes, it does make sense - even Obama thought so, but you have to have room. And when Trump runs out, what are the odds that congress says yes this time?
The only thing I care about with the under-writers is that the get the word “Carnegie” as in “Carnegie hall” right.
The number of times I’ve winced when they say they are supported by the car-NEY-gee (three syllables) foundation instead of car-na-gie (one syllable) foundation …
Hopefully like last time the first applicant will be a Muslim Madrasa and the Tennessee legislator will reverse it in 2 days.
Trump confirmed to be the wicked witch. What a world!
Acknowledge mistakes and learning from them is the biggest advantage when running against the Republicans who think Trump can never make mistakes
If there ever was a time to criticize the democrats, it is 3 months AFTER an election.
If there ever was a time to not to criticize the democrats, it is 3 months BEFORE an election.
Trump: Directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs
Also Trump: Signs executive order freezing all federal grants
Looks like it corrected itself.
The underlying unsaid context: “White American with White Name who never has been outside the country told to self-deport”. Yes, WHITE AMERICA it could happen to YOU!
