ReplyDeleteTurns out "They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" proved a more effective message than "Let me help you buy your first house."
ReplyDeleteWhat a country!
Yes, the "let me help you buy your first house" of the Clinton administration is what gave us the 2008 sub prime fiasco.
DeleteTurns out the people of this country would rather give them something to be proud of than meddle in their financial affairs.

ReplyDeleteeither they are bought off or just ignorant about the last 20 years before watsapp was created
The governor is living in LALA land. Letting criminal out of jail and the crime taking place along with illegal immigrants getting governemtn benefits over hard working low income americans were large factor to democrats losing. Of course defund the police and hancuffing the police to enforce laws doesnt help their cause. Quality of life is important to the general public. If the governer and the democrats dont realize it then it it is their fault. I would be quite happy with a republican governor.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. Police are there if anyone says something to an underage kid getting "gender reaffirming" surgery. But if you need emergency surgery, wait on line in the crowded emergency room
DeleteYou might get a Republican governor, but will he pressure the legislature to make Lakewood pay up? This governor did not, but on the other hand, he tried as hard as he could to not the change the formula thereby increasing the debt. And it was ok with all the local people. B"H he kept losing in court but it is only a matter of time that we will be forced up to cough up the hundreds of millions. Leave the unpopular work for his successor. We are headed for real trouble no matter who is elected, Democrat or Republican. The Vaad better make the right choice but that might not help. The debt is too great. AL
