The immigration policy, including throwing children in cages and deportation -save for the wall nonsense- is an Obama policy, actually. Strange, but true. Unemployment decrease is a direct result of Obama (cnn, msnbc, Department of Labor, have all empirically, i.e. with data, confirmed this). So, still not much for Trump to hype himself about. But, he sure loves his golf!
Oh this was such a good laugh....literally, I am rolling in my chair laughing. I nearly spat out my triple grande maple latte. The Tribune - standing for the underdog? hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you, Kevin for this wonderful joke.
In this case, the labour laws are not one sided but, rather the laws performed as they should have and as it was the intent. The law exists so that miscreant employers or corrupt and biased politicians cannot arbitrarily make people redundant. The behaviour of the politican, in this case, is what should be looked at. Not the law.
Yes, she would have and it would have been derelict if she were not do so. What was done to these Gaming Board employees was cruel, heartless and, most importantly, illegal.
He is right though, Mudda. Current tax system is both regressive and unsustainable. That is Econ 101. Income tax, for all its warts, is by far the most equitable tax. Your point regarding wasteful government spending is fair, but not enough to permanently separate ourselves from this crippling existing tax system.
Banker, it is a pleasure to read your comments when you post. Allow me to disagree with your view about the legislation, however. From what I read - grant it, I have no inside information - the proposed legislation appears very much a light touch, seemingly allowing firms to both form and operate very quickly, easily and inexpensively - and certainly compared to Barbados! Care to share your specific objections? On another note, the tech hub idea was bloody silly and he, of all people, is not the right person to oversee it.

Notwithstanding all of that mudda, what he is saying here is true. We are certainly on the highway to a recession. I don't think that can be argued.
