One, that is an editorial. Two, it is in the business section which is pretty much the same in the NYT and National Review.

Codswallop. The GOP did not propose Obama’s plan. They proposed something radically different that just happened to have one part of Obama’s plan. It is like lobbying to repair a bridge and getting a ordinance that will fix the bridge and seize your house. Opposing that plan doesn’t mean you are opposed to fixing the

You are forgetting Bill Clinton’s tax plans that gave us the surplus (yes, the boom economy helped, but the reason for the surplus was his taxes). Clinton’s tax plan was anathema to the central organizing principle of the Republican party: the wealthy were the hardest hit with taxes.

In Illinois it is an insulting ~$18k/year, but it has COLA adjustments (yay?).

In Wisconsin, police unions worked against every candidate for judge that had ever worked in criminal defense.

I agree. A lot of “safety protocols” are just theater that would make things far worse if there was actually a mass murdering terrorist.

No. Bryan Texas.

Yes. He is on the ballot for GOP primary (the real election) March 6th. It is nigh impossible to get rid of a bad judge in Texas. Believe me, there was a local effort here for a judge that worked 20 hours a week for years drawing full time pay. Other courts had to take all his civil trials. His opponent’s position was

No survivor from Vegas started making noise

Slaves are employed in plantations in Ghana, in mines and quarries in Pakistan, all over the place in Dubai and elsewhere despite new technologies their owners could afford. Not many slaves were engaged in the kind of work the early tractors replaced (e.g., plowing, planting and harvesting corn, wheat and pulses). And

I will believe this actually saves money when I see the numbers after a few years. No, not the numbers after losses from “bugs that were patched” are removed from the chart. No, not the numbers which exclude the cost of the technical support personnel that are not assigned to one particular store but serve several.
