Senator Moneybags for CIA is actually scary.
Although it would slow down progress on his nightmare immigration bill.

And for those of us who have some fight left, please please please help us kill this tax bill www.trumptaxscam.org/I am heartened when I call that my Senators agree with me. But being Dems means that with them pushing this be as reconciliation they don't get a lot of say. |

if persistently demanding that a woman tell you what she is wearing and asking about her panties is "doing nothing wrong" then I quit

So Ben Sasse, in a Duck Dynasty beard that I pray is the result of No-Shave-November, just completely bungled the vote count, read it backward, then laughed and said, "It's a bad day for math." Yeah, it is. And today alone I have heard Senator Kennedy call Democrats "dumber than rocks" and call liberals "weenies."  |

Random thought - so many of the people I know who voted for Trump say their vote is justified by the fact that the stock market has been going "gangbusters" since Trump took office. As if that somehow excuses everything or means that he is doing a good job as President. The thing is - none of them work in finance/investment...I do. Most of my colleagues in the investment sector believe the market is in a bubble and there will be a significant correction (as in crash/downturn) in the next 12-24 months. I personally am thinking 18 months at the longest. The P/E ratios are too high and there is generally too much risk taking going on. www.cnbc.com/2017/11/27/chance-of-us-stock-market-correction-now-at-70-percent-vanguard.htmlWhile I definitely do not look forward to market downturns, once the correction happens I'm going to be happy to bring the point back up to people I know who voted for Trump -- asking them why they continue to support a President who is causing the stock market to crash. ETA - There seems to be so little to look forward to in terms of current events. This is honestly one of the few things that I'm hanging on to. Which is sad, because it includes a market crash ☹️ Housing market prices where I live in Southern California are at or near right before the market crashed. I can’t believe it and feel like the writing is on the wall for another correction, if not substantial downturn. |

I worked at a university for more than a decade and the culture is that to compete the private universities are not looking at it as a educational institution anymore. They look at it as a business. They fired staff, reorganized all the departments, got rid of 90% of adjunct professors and started charging more for basic services. Not to mention changing food distribution around to a $ based system instead of a points based system. They were preparing for it. Not to mention since I started there the tuition rode over 600%. I worked at a place that the wealthy sent a good number of their kids but even so those who can't afford that and have FAFSA it means they are locked in to owing money for LIFE. And the University degree is becoming useless now. There is no need to be a "well rounded student". People are better off going to a not yet shut down community college and then learning a trade or just straight learning a trade. They have more opportunity to find job and will make more. Which leads me to then think that is what the tax plan wants. For us lower income people to "stay in our lane". TOO REAL, JukEboX , too real. *weeps into stack of diplomas we might as well use as kleenex* Oh. And public universities are run like corporations now, too. Sorry adorebel. It is true thought. I have my BA and my MBA and I am actually using them. But for most out there now they spend $140K on education and it is about useless. I am at about 60K and after working for more than a decade I am slightly peaking over it now with an MBA and two decades of experience.
Its time to overhaul our entire educational system.
