Trump Administration Says States May Impose Work Requirements for Medicaidhttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/11/us/politics/medicaid-work-requirements.html So I assume they are also going to impose requirements for affordable childcare, a living minimum wage, and requirements for retail, restaurants, etc to provide employees with a consistent schedule. No? Then F this. I let out a very audible grown of disgust when I got this NY Times alert on the train this morning. These people. |

So give big tax cuts to the rich and make healthcare harder to obtain for the poor & disabled.

I feel like there have been years where they just keep passing CRS until they hit the next year. You mean like this year?  And last year... and I believe the year before that... |

The poll that Trump is bragging about 66% people feeling the economy is good, also states, "But 49 percent of voters say former President Barack Obama is more responsible for the state of the economy, while 40 percent say Drumpf is more responsible." Some adviser didn't read it all the way through. And also has these results: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Drumpf is handling his job as President? 36% Approve, 59% Disapprove Would you say that Donald Drumpf cares about average Americans, or not? 38% Yes, 59% No poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2511 |

I understand why Shelley would concede for personal and financial reasons, but it still makes me so effing mad that the VA GOP are getting away with this shit. |

It can be disappointing to the loser, but it's not an unknown approach. |

This article I'm reading in December's New York Magazine says that Maria's death toll could surpass Katrina's. I'm a little behind in my reading due to furiously knitting to get gifts done, but knowing how little has improved in the last month is maddening. The article paints such a bleak picture. |

It can be disappointing to the loser, but it's not an unknown approach. True. It was less the coin toss and more the recount process leading up to it that got me raging. It was slimy the way they chose one specific ballot to contest after the recount was certified. Though I still don’t think a coin toss is a good way to decide a tied election. |

He knows nothing about policy. It is unbelievable. He literally regurgitates fox news. And he holds the highest political office in the country. It makes me want to weep.
Turn off the TV and read your fucking briefings, dude.

Well no the tax cut will do that

Are the w/h tables going into effect Feb 1st?
Some will but it depends on the company. They are ahead of schedule.
Isnt Davos a hangout for globalists?
I dont think so. We're going to promote america first and when we win the world wins

Using an outdated w4 seems kinda fucked, no?
Well we had an existing form/format. so no, the same percent of people are going to get refunds. something about tax credits, and the taxpayer can see if they have the right number of exemptions.
he wants lots of feedback
This wasnt rushed at.all.
