Could be I'm naive when it comes to fancy pants economics, but it seems like a combination of onshoring jobs and lowering taxes on work conducted in the US is the most straightforward way to improve the economic mobility of the so-called working poor, as well as improving economic growth.

They ruled that there is NO constitutional requirement for the Federal Govt to pay for abortions. It is a State issue.
Immunity is entirely reasonable for actions that are required by a President in office.
Trump is trying to stop shipping billions of US dollars over seas
Trump wants to Tariff products made overseas to encourage US manufacturing and create fair trade for US companies
Trump wants to keep or extend the Trump tax cuts that are on all levels of income
Trump wants to reduce wasteful spending including welfare and housing for illegals
Trump wants the US to get a piece of Tic Tok
It seems to me, Jeff thinks the above to be an attack on poor US citizens. I am not sure how?

I’m also going to say if somehow a Republican regime did this, the Dems would be crying about separation of church and state.
Keep reading, I heard him say it into a camera and microphone.Rubio says American Marc Fogel freed from Russia due to 'strength' of Trump | Fox News
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Marc Fogel, an American who had been detained in Russia, was freed because the U.S. has a "strong president."www.foxnews.com
Where did they say the gave up nothing?
He just freed an American that was in a Russian prison for the last few years, and you are nitpicking because they are taking some credit.
Another 20% position
Too many neocons think they will be safe from the Jacobins they willfully empower.
All great things that the new Jeff opposes. Your brain resembles scrambled eggs with hot sauce, Jeff.
I'm talking fundamentals as I understand how an economy works unlike you who needs to be told. Every dollar spent by the government sector is spent less efficiently than it would be by the private sector or a private citizen. That is just a fact. Reality - you claim you used to know it.
Tariffs - why not have reciprocal and equivalent tariffs with our trading "partners"?
Interest rates - like. Spending cuts - like. Tariffs to create equality - like.
Obviously as a Dem you oppose all of these.
I would say that's true in most cases but not all. There's no way we could defend our country without the government as the funding and implementing entity of the military. Closer to home, funding every little street as a toll road would be massively inefficient.
Anything beyond defense and a few other things. Even with roads, private groups get stuff done faster than the feds historically. Hence, all of the pikes out east getting build as toll roads back in the day. Event the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon was a tolled route back in the day.
Tollways are a tax on the poor, IMHO.
Sure, there's a place for toll roads. I bet the street you live on and probably every other one in your town wouldn't work as a toll road.
You seemed to miss the point.
Long ago, it was the private sector which gave you a road. Without them, no road, period. Hence, the “pike” system.
Early history
- 1792: Pennsylvania charters the first private turnpike, the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike
- 1799: Construction begins on the Great Western Turnpike in New York
- 1800: 69 turnpike companies are chartered across the country
- 1908: The Long Island Motor Parkway, one of the first US motor roads, opens
The street I live on actually is paid for by me and my community. So, you would be wrong.
The main trail in the Grand Canyon was originally improved by the private sector and a toll to use it was levied. As I said, the private sector gets crap done. Jeff’s beloved government is a bloated, inefficient blob which can’t even get astronauts to or out of space. Elon and the private sector now define US space capabilities.
Ralph CameronRalph H. Cameron, who would later become a United States senator (R-AZ 1921–27), settled on the canyon rim in 1890 and began improving the old Havasupai trail. It was at this time that the trail was extended all the way to the Colorado River. Once official control of the trail fell to Cameron, he named it the Bright Angel Trail,commonly referred to in its early years as Cameron's Trail, and began charging a $1 toll to access it, plus additional fees for drinking water and the use of outhouses at Havasupai Gardens
No, I got your point and I’m not wrong. All of these pikes you cite were intercity roads or just rural. And, as I said, toll roads have a use in this world. But go back over a hundred years… all of the urban streets were built by and for the public.You seemed to miss the point.

What’s the toll to use the street you live on?
Billionaire hedge fund guru's dire warning about America's trade
Ken Griffin, founder of investment firm Citadel, warned Tuesday that President Donald Trump's tariff policies pose a serious risk to America's economic growth.
Is the Bright Angel Trail that scary path down the Grand Canyon wall to the river? Good for him to improve it but did he earn a return on his investment? I wouldn't walk down that.You seemed to miss the point.

Everything is a tax on the poor if they can't afford it. Toll roads exist where govt won't pay for them. The Chicago Skyway is a good example of a toll road that was financially a mess. The Chicago Skyway was an alternative to govt funded freeways to create a short cut, if you could pay for it. At least in their case, not many paid extra to save a little bit of driving time resulting in investors losing money. Toll roads piss me off when I encounter them but it is part of America pre the Socialist takeover.
Who the F are you calling incompetent fools???
Were you asleep for the last 4 years?!?!
GTFOH
Your dumbass leaders did nothing to stop it. And they all weren’t rioting and attacking cops.
You love misrepresenting things to make a mountain out of a molehill….
Jeff is against this as evidenced by his vote for MORE last November and continued derision of the Trump agenda
Not sure what to think about this one. Too bad people can't just agree to do the right thing.
There is a reason we went from private toll roads, and private fire protection, and private police protection and private schools, to public ones, priva6e don't work , especially in a democracy.You seemed to miss the point.

Street upkeep is responsibility of the community. Part of HOA dues.
And sorry, wrong.
I've done the Bright Angel trail multiple times - it is outstanding. Yes, it does go down to Phanton Ranch.
The Hermit Trail was built by the railroads and was once outstanding (with even a gondola type ride to the canyon). It did not have the toll. Today, it is not maintained and is pretty difficult.
It is nice to live in a state without toll roads.
Agreed. That is why Trump is taking the Biden-led privatized DOJ and making it public again. #MAGA
Yes, but more similar to gas taxes, which hinder movements of poorer people, as do tollways. And then specifically speaking of licensing fees and title fees, Plate fees. When the Democrats who run the State of Illinois raise all those fees, they directly hurt the very people they claim they fight for.
Let's not forget that Mr. For the Poor Jeff is also all for the Democrat EV mandates which will pretty much kill the mobility for the poor AND middle to upper class Americans.
That must be a thing in your area. We have public roads and have HOA. The only communities/neighborhoods that have to privately pay for upkeep of roads are the gated communities.Street upkeep is responsibility of the community. Part of HOA dues.
And sorry, wrong.
This is how a country goes into deep debt and get worse.
This is exactly why internet search for criminal defense attorney is much higher in DC compared to the rest of the country right now.
