Why did the national debt more than double?

for every $1.00 he spent on defense.

TOTALLY DISGUSTING!

According to Rush Limbaugh, Reagan went through with the
promised tax cuts, but the Dems didn't go through with
the promised spending cuts. Thus, the spending increase.

Be happy. All that deficit spending is why you were prosperous during
those years. The best thing Reagan did was let Volcker hand out the
bitter medicine that was needed. After getting the inflation back in the
jar, liberal government spending kept the ball rolling.

The problem in the '70s was convincing corporate management that your
project would have an ROI better than just putting the money in the bank
and collecting 10% interest.

There is a little fly in that ointment. With the current staggering
amount of personal debt the tax refund will go straight to MasterCard to
pay for that JetSki bought 5 years ago.

To add insult to injury, retiring debt gets counted as 'saving' so the

If you were able to read through Ibn Khaldûn's

http://www.friesian.com/sayslaw.htm#note-0

letter on the subject, you can see where the
tax revenue curve comes from. As government
gets greedier and greedier, people stop producing
because they see no merit and working hard just to
get it taken away.

This is why so many business had taken off to other
lands. Trump's plan will bring them back. This
is a good place to do business: our work force is
the most productive in the world.

Ibn Khaldûn's writings are what the Laffer curve

expanded or hired more employees.

When the government imposes too many taxes on it's people, the people
have less to spend, thus, discouraging economic growth.

And there you go again. You just don't get it. No one is saying that
cutting taxes won't stimulate the economy. The issue is whether or not
those tax cuts are revenue neutral or increase the deficit. That depends
on where you are on the LAffer curve, which I've explained 3 times now.

Hundreds of Muslim workers fired after dispute over prayers

FORT MORGAN, Colo. -- Nearly 200 Muslim workers have been fired from a
Cargill meatpacking plant in Colorado, for walking out after a dispute
over prayer breaks.

Praying five times a day is a must for many Muslims.

But Tony Aden says missing even one of those prayers over a break time
dispute caused him and many others to walk away from their jobs.

"It don't matter if I don't have a job, my religion is more
important," Aden told CBS News.

Cargill spokesperson Michael Martin says prayer is allowed. But he
says a misunderstanding of company policy came on December 18th, when
11 workers asked for a break to pray at the same time.

"Coming from that specific work area would have disrupted the workflow
so the supervisor told the employees that they could go pray, but they
would have to go in smaller numbers than 11," Martin told CBS News.
"It would have to be three at a time."

The following Monday, nearly 200 employees from the Muslim community
didn't show up to work for three consecutive days. The company fired
them all.

"There are times when accommodation is not possible," Martin said.
"But in an overwhelming majority of instances, we do everything we can
to ensure sure that we do accommodate employees."

Jaylani Hussein represents 150 workers who are now without a job.

"Now we are getting supervisors who are telling our clients to go home
if they wanted to pray," Hussein said. "If they are denied their basic
rights to practice their faith reasonably at their employment, they
seem to be losing one of the basic fundamental rights."

Cargill is now hiring to fill the shoes of those who walked out.

Areas have been set up at Cargill since 2009 to accommodate anyone who
requested time to pray.

The Council on American Islamic Relations is currently working reach
an agreement with Cargill so that those fired workers can return.

Again, this is pure nonsense. Sadly, it's what most Republicans
believe, which is that you can cut any tax, anytime, and it
will always be at least revenue neutral or produce more revenue.
And then they just point to a Renaissance philosopher for proof.
It just isn't so, as looking at LAffer and common sense will tell you.
In the case of Trump, every tax analysis that I have seen done,
including ones done by conservatives, have concluded that his cuts
will increase the deficit by ~$10 tril over ten years. And contrary
to what you claim, that analysis was done using DYNAMIC models.
You can't make huge cuts on the taxpayers supplying the vast majority
of the revenue, cut their rates from 35% to less than 20% and expect the
revenue to remain the same.

BTW, where is the info on Trump as to who did the analysis for
him, what models they used, etc? Why is it that we don't know
who came up with it and if any analysis was done at all? Why
can't we talk to them?

Hi Maggie,

My face is not on my business cards, just writing. I think
realtors are the only ones with their faces on their cards.

I walk right in and talk to anyone that will talk to
me. I explain my service. Sometimes give them a quick consult
on any problems they may be having. I usually get my hand
shook and complemented about my attitude.

As far as I can tell, I am doing everything right. I have
been told by several that they are hanging on by their
fingernails. Accountants/bookeepers say the same thing
about the rest of the business community. All too
often those I thought would call me, I go and visit 6 months
to a year later and their offices are cleared out.

I would say 2 out of 3 business office buildings are
empty. I is even worse now that we have a new commerce
tax looming over our heads.

I keep my mouth shut about politics and religoun when
handing out cards. Just keep it business. Not a word about
the horse meat in my refreg that Stormin' pawned off on
me as unicorn meat. (I wonder if he will see that!)

a quote on a million capacitors.

, rail guns or lasers that could fire over the
horizon. I'm jealous. I would pee my pants if I got to play with
those weapons today. Back in the day there was Atomic cannons that
were disbanded.

Yikes! That is outrageous! I am shocked. Shocked I
tell you. That is absolutely horrible! I WANT ONE!

I remember Mr. T mentioned having handed out three
box of business cards, and not much work.

I don't know the magic number for cutting taxes since it's not my job to
analyze it, but I'm fairly confident that cutting taxes WILL stimulate
the economy resulting in more jobs, more people who CAN pay taxes on
income, and more businesses putting more money into the economy.


And there you go again. You just don't get it. No one is saying that
cutting taxes won't stimulate the economy. The issue is whether or not
those tax cuts are revenue neutral or increase the deficit. That depends
on where you are on the LAffer curve, which I've explained 3 times now.

I've had a better conversation with T about this subject so far.

You know he might actually be a bit better looking than me!

I wore myself out and have been sleeping a lot lately. It's the only way to escape the pain sometimes. This morning the nurse told me that they had run out of my time release pain meds so sleep always helps. If you're tired it really affects your performance. If I don't get enough sleep, my spell checker really complains a lot more than usual. Š™.˜‰

I am not sure. Directly after the holidays, things are a
little weird.

I have to pick up any new business. It need about
three to get back on my feet.

Ok... May you pick up at least 3 new clients ASAP!

Thank you for asking!

Hi Maggie,

Thank you!

You opinion please. I was thinking of getting a bunch
on ball point pens drawn up with my business name
and phone number. And handing them out when I hand
out cards.

Waste of money? I am thinking that one or the
other (card or pen) may wind up in the trash,
but probably not both. They cost about 50 cents
per pen.


It can't hurt to try. Do you leave them just with face to face business
contacts?


Hi Maggie,

My face is not on my business cards, just writing. I think
realtors are the only ones with their faces on their cards.

I walk right in and talk to anyone that will talk to
me. I explain my service. Sometimes give them a quick consult
on any problems they may be having. I usually get my hand
shook and complemented about my attitude.

As far as I can tell, I am doing everything right. I have
been told by several that they are hanging on by their
fingernails. Accountants/bookeepers say the same thing
about the rest of the business community. All too
often those I thought would call me, I go and visit 6 months
to a year later and their offices are cleared out.

I would say 2 out of 3 business office buildings are
empty. I is even worse now that we have a new commerce
tax looming over our heads.

I keep my mouth shut about politics and religoun when
handing out cards. Just keep it business. Not a word about
the horse meat in my refreg that Stormin' pawned off on
me as unicorn meat. (I wonder if he will see that!)

:-)


All you can do is what you know to do, T. If you're doing your best then
you're doing all you can. I'm preaching to myself, too.

When I was a kid the Watervliet Arsenal had an open house every summer
and one of the big attractions was the atomic cannon. They had a barrel
up on piers so you could look down the bore. Even at 10 or so I
questioned the idea of punting a small atomic bomb about 20 miles down
the road.

I don't sleep that well off and on when my hip hurts at night. It's
like sleep deprivation torture.
