Glad I’m not alone, Espy. OK, next time you go in your closet and I go in mine we’ll pretend we’re screaming together 🙂

Wynski, you’re right, what you said is correct – in theory there’s no argument except in THIS instance in order to AFFORD the tax cut they borrowed to cover the shortfall! That money was needed for things, it wasn’t just lying around, there was NO surplus! So they borrowed to make up what would be needed in the budget. Not the same as having a surplus and giving it back to the people who created it.

Aqua, the tax cut actually produced MORE income tax into federal coffers. Look at the receipts for 2018 and 19. Record tax revenues. As is very often the case, when you reduce tax rate you spur growth which increases taxes into the coffers. Basic econ.

I’m impressed Aqua! I too have a closet in which to scream. Keeps me civil during discourse on the subject!

PS: I’m proud of myself. I kept my promise. And, now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and scream in a closet 🙂

Aqua In Silent Prayer:

“In my response to Espy, Lord, please give me the strength and fortitude to merely agree briefly with ESPY and neither respond in specific detail nor expand in any way via specific instances of remarkable similarities in policy, speech, actions and reactions between this current administration and the Church of Scientology. Please help me, Lord, to resist the enormous temptation…Get thee behind me, Satan…Thank you, God. I’m able to respond to Espy now.”

@ Espy – Yup.

To me the basics are a roof over your head, clean running water, and sufficient food. The basics are not an armario of CDs, books, and Way To Happiness pamphlets.

Is that the one where they claim 10,000 fully operational thetans could save the planet? Only another 6200 to go. Previous reports suggest 4 reach the end of the “bridge” each week on the floating org, which means they should achieve their target by the year 2050, assuming none of the existing 3800 quit, get declared, or die before then.

Hmmm, yeah these Wise guys always with the help button on.
God knows if DM is aware of it. You know he could paranoically theorise a future flap that could involve him.
Let see.

Aqua. Lol. Yes I like it. Let share togheter with them their artificial enthusiasm towards life.
I will bring the check personally because I want a receipt.
