Newsom is quoted in that article as saying ''You can protect your workers or continue to support anti-abortion states that rule with hatred."
This sounds better, IMO: ''You can protect

Dick is pissed that his daughter is losing big time and President Trump has backed her opponent. The Cheney family has lost me.
Yeah, Liz and Dick both peed in the punch bowl as far as I'm concerned.

My comment: She is ahead by over 19,000 votes and is even ahead in Maricopa County. Thank God, Trump swept Arizona and Meghan McCain is pissed. One more thing, when will Fox News call it for Kari?

But haven't they figured out....this is exactly what the progressives want to happen. The more crisis (known by libs as opportunity) you create the more the people are dependent upon gubermint.
Over 230 economists warn Manchin's spending bill will perpetuate inflation
230 economists are warning congressional leaders in the House and Senate that Manchin's tax and spending bill will actually cause more inflation nationwide, despite claims otherwise.www.foxbusiness.com
They are following the book, Rules for Radicals, chaos at the top, chaos at the bottom and this squeezes the middle forcing the government to come to the rescue.

Maybe she needs to pick up duck hunting and invite her challengers.

Good. Hopefully this will be his last term.... Once a lib, always a lib. I guess its a disease that can't be cured.
They are trying to spend/push through what they can before Dems' Big Loss in November. Still pisses me off that they are raising taxes during a RECESSION!!!

With his vote, and the physical doubling of the IRS due to his vote.... They (IRS) needs these agents to go after anyone that sells more than $600 a year on any auction sites. So this goes after those that are trying to make it by in a downward economy selling things to make ends meet. That will encourages more underground markets. They keep kicking a person when they are down to keep their power.
They fare pulling the drain plugs on all that the rising tides floats all boats.

For those of you who are economic geeks, some interesting analysis on todays bizarrely high jobs print.. 
Something Snaps In The Job Market: Multiple Jobholders Hit All Time High As Unexplained 1.8 Million Jobs Gap Emerges | ZeroHedge
.....And even more remarkable: the number of multiple jobholders whose primary and secondary jobs are both full-time just hit a record high! Hardly the sign of a strong job market, one where people can afford to quit jobs at will.
So what's going on here? The simple answer: Fewer people working, but more people working more than one job, a rotation which picked up in earnest some time in March and which has only been captured by the Household survey.
And since the Establishment survey is far slower to pick up on the nuances in employment composition, while the Household Survey has gone nowhere since March, the BLS data engineers have been busy goalseeking the Establishment Survey (perhaps with the occasional nudge from the White House especially now that the economy is in a technical recession) to make it appear as if the economy is growing strongly, when in reality all they are doing is applying the same erroneous seasonal adjustment factor that gave such a wrong perspective of the labor market in the aftermath of the covid pandemic (until it was all adjusted away a year ago). In other words, while the labor market is already cracking, it will take the BLS several months of veering away from reality before the government bureaucrats accept and admit what is truly taking place.
We expect that "realization" to take place just after the midterms, because the last thing the Biden administration can afford is admit the labor market is crashing in addition to the continued surge in inflation.
From another similar report
Wall Street Reacts To Today's "Phenomenally Strong" Jobs Report | ZeroHedge
The divergence continues to grow between the Establishment and the Household (as well as JOLTs data and Unemployment Insurance Claims).
Unemployment rate ticked lower, to 3.5%, though that was more driven by labor force participation dropping to 62.1% than the jobs created in the Household Survey.
I’m sure somewhere in the details, there might be some things to nitpick, but the report, especially the Establishment report puts the Fed firmly back in the hawkish camp.
Why the report is so much better than any estimate and seems inconsistent, to some degree with other jobs data, is a question to be asked.

The labor report was screwy. I wonder if those that are unemployed, are living in an underground economy?
For some reason the government does not take kindly to cash. After all, "Money talks" and we know what walks.

Whoops! Department of Education Makes $300 Billion Accounting Mistake on Student Loans
Federal student loans are “expected to cost the government almost $9 for every $100 disbursed. It's a far cry from the original estimates.

Whoops! Department of Education Makes $300 Billion Accounting Mistake on Student Loans
Federal student loans are “expected to cost the government almost $9 for every $100 disbursed. It's a far cry from the original estimates.
From the article.....
How did the Department of Education get it so wrong? How is it they could claim student loans would bring in more than $100 billion in revenue for the federal government, when in reality they cost taxpayers nearly $200 billion?
What accounts for this massive miscounting?
GAO looked at the Department of Education’s budgets over the years and found that they were hundreds of billions of dollars off due in large part due to bad assumptions. GAO estimates that 61 percent of the bad accounting is due to these faulty assumptions. Those bad assumptions included incorrect estimates pertaining to the economic standing of borrowers, underestimating the likelihood of borrower default, and underestimating the percentage of borrowers who would enter income-driven repayment (IDR) plans.
