The employee who triggered the official warning to all cell phones in Hawaii did NOT do so by accident. At the time he sent it he actually thought there was an attack because he had heard the phrase "This is not a drill" in the exercise that was then being conducted. |

All estimates state that the debt will continue to rise with this tax cut bill to the tune of 1.6 trillion over 8 years. Of course the right ignore this. And it's completely their bill. They've ignored fiscal responsibility. The tea party threatened to default on the debt twice during the Obama Administration. And the current administration refuses to pass a budget. Interest on the debt at 14.700 trillion in money owed to bonds, etc for 2016/17 was 266 billion, at less than 2%. But this is projected to rise dramatically as interest rates rises and bond yields increase. Interest on the national debt When interest rates rise, so do bond yields which makes lending more expensive for the government. This happens when the economy is humming along. But nobody seems to care about this. It goes to show you that absolutely nobody seems to care about the future, as long as they can have ice cream today. |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Down here they have cut back to two animals that are accepted as emotional support animals. Dogs and miniature horses or pony's of some kind. Can you imagine going to Denny's for breakfast and somebody in the next booth has a friggin miniature horse with them, farting and whinnying? I think they are supposed to put diapers on them, but they still can "fluff". When I had horses, I didn't really get emotional support from them, mostly just bills. Wonder if peacocks shit like geese? They could paint the inside of a plane on a short trip. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
