Questions on train forums I wouldn't think of asking.

Ol' Roy is a delightful guy when politics are not the subject: beautiful engines, amusement park railroads threads, e.g. I have a couple friends who are as far out; we reserve the right to overlook each others' excesses..me being a radical conservative, and all...although I don't yet advocate re-education camps.

Roy seems to believe that anyone that doesn't think like he dose is evil scum and villainy.

"plug in name here" seems to believe that anyone that doesn't think like he does is evil scum and villainy.

That's where we are today - so much for not repeating the errors of the past.

In fact we're not just repeating the errors, we're enhancing & increasing them.

Awhile back you said that you thought the country was heading into a recession this year. What is your opinion at this point

If we do not, it'll be because we're already denying it happening - historically it's happened after every single tax cut bill from the WH/Congress since Reagan.

It's partially stalling now being kept afloat by soaring stocks that are from companies that have never made a profit and new IPO's w/o substance that feed a frenzy of excitement. It's a house of cards. Someone runs a commercial about the tulip craze in Holland and how that went crazy.....and then some asked why is a tulip worth money - it's just a tulip. And then reality arrived with a crash. We're creeping right up to that edge of an abyss.

I weathered the last recession / house market and all that went with it, but then we're not on the bell curve in multiple dimensions. I'm not sure that we'll be able to survive the credit card//school loan debt insanity when it intersects with the realization that there will be a huge senior citizen population totally unprepared to be able to retire and survive. Those two population subsets all by themselves could drag out economy into total disaster.

I've been living in a recession for the last 6-8 years. School debt.I saw some craziness about erasing student loans. What will people with no loans receive? Some cash? or the bill for people that can't pay?

Work farms and debtor's prisons.....and bring back caning....well, just between consenting adults.

Not only are they going to eliminate all student debt, they are going to provide free collage education for everyone including all the thousands of migrants flooding into the country to get in on the progressive liberals gravy train. The only thing that concerns me is whose pocket are they going to pick to pay for it. If it's Gates, Bezo's and Zuckerburg I say go for it. However I have this feeling it's going to be mine and yours.

Everything that you have belongs to the government. That's the way socialism works.

It's going to be fun watching this circus.

They won't eliminate it - they are making too much money off these loans - they are designed to last forever and to provide a steady source of revenue to both the Gov't and the banks. Writing off all that debt will drop the country into a depression overnight. However, sure, let all of the billionaires pay the bill.....I'm sure that the guys that orchestrated this system that put money in their accounts will be willing to let go of it all,

It already does; that individuals actually own real property is an illusion; people that think otherwise, doubly so.

This is what the democrat candidates running for president say they will do if elected. I think they have a good chance of wining since it looks like the millennial's and the majority will be voting with their hands out. Gime, Gime Gime.

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and some of the others are leading on doing this. I wonder where Biden stands on these issues....

Won't matter; the banks still control these people at the end of the day. Same story for republicans that said one thing and did the bidding of their masters for previous 2 years. Both will say anything to get elected; once there, they do as they are told. If you think that either represents you, you're dreaming or a member of the 1%....or the 1% of the 1%. How'd that tax cut work out for you, BTW?

Gimme, Gimme Gimme. - same song that the republicans sang before taking over - they're all the same and all just out for themselves.

Worked out good for me. Since the wife's passing I have had to file as a single. That was a big wallop. Reduced me down a nice chunk. As a single I was in the 38% bracket. How about you.

My income dropped by ~45% and I owed $6k more on top of my quarterly payments.

In part, but far more complex.

I once thought I owned my home and property, but apparently, I rent it from the county and the Freeport Area School District, 'cause this month Armstrong County wants theirs, and in September, the School District will want theirs.
