I mean, Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine likely would not have joined NATO. I'm not justifying Putin's actions. I'm saying it helps him justify the invasion in his mind. The U.S. thought invading Vietnam was the right thing to do. My main point is our country's actions for years contributed to...

The relationship between NATO and USSR then Russia is complicated. The USSR requested NATO membership in the 50s as they were worried about Germany. Everyone remembers Reagan saying to "tear down that wall" regarding the unification of East and West Germany, but do you remember Reagan also gave...

Juzang 1-7 from 3. And the misses were not close. Tank game ball goes to Johnny!

Until we know Collier's position on vaccines we really can't do a fair comparison.

This happened to be a game that my only broadcast was the Jazz feed. I usually watch the opposing feed as Boler is hard to listen to. Locke was much more enjoyable. Thought it was funny when T called him Boler and he called him out. :)

As far as losses go:

Rich people, like any other group, are not inherently evil, brainwashed or more selfish than any other economic group. Wealth itself is just a tool—it amplifies the choices and values of the person who holds it. Some wealthy individuals use their resources for selfish or harmful purposes, while...

Keep in mind, the NBA as a whole is down 20%.

If Clarkson is your litmus test then yes, I agree.

His passing (getting better) decision making and turnovers all need a lot of work on offense.

True, and I generally make purchases using the same analysis. When we basically have run negative balances since Kennedy (other than a year under Johnson and a few under Clinton) it is hard to argue that ever increasing debt is a good policy. It would be akin to you taking more debt than...

He passed OBRA, reduced spending and raised taxes on the top 1%. No doubt we walked intona strong economy, but he implemented good economic policy.

I fully understand what Reagan did. The 70% tax rate in the 70s was hurting growth. Reagan's plan was to combat stagflation, and it worked in that regard, but he largely overcorrected which led to a larger deficit. And every president since has upped the debt. Hard to fully judge Trump or Biden...

Between leaky brain, HIV does not cause aids, anti-vaccine, etc., I am not impressed. Pretty sure he has "leaky brain".

No No doubt, it has gotten out of control and both parties have contributed. I was simply noting Reagan didn't start the problem (although it got worse). But this chart shows how out of hand it has gotten, and shows we need to get it under control.

Not at all. I can't stand the guy and most of his policies. Trump is not a true republican. He was a registered dem in the 80s. He is a scumbag opportunist. That said, not all he does is bad. Although a lot is, and his ability to destabilize relations may be very damaging. I've said it many...

Weird, since the debt to GDP ratio was 53% in 1960.

No, if we just keep wasting money and going into debt, things will get worse. I am not a fan of Trump, but am glad something is finally being done. And the waste is much worse than just line items on headlines. My office in D.C. overhired to anticipate hiring freezes (this was under Obama's...

Yes, I answered it. It may help us keep the status quo.

We are overspending like crazy. It has to stop. It may help us keep a strong country that can continue to pay its debts without devaluing our currency (printing money). If this waste had been stopped years ago perhaps we'd be in a much better fiscal situation in this country.
