Exit polling is putting abortion high in peoples issues. CNN has an exit poll on abortion; Slightly fewer than 4 in 10 said they felt enthusiastic or satisfied about the decision, while about 21% said they felt dissatisfied, and roughly 4 in 10 that they were angry. About 60% of all voters said that abortion should be legal in most or all cases, up from 51% among voters who turned out for the 2020 general election.

Speaker Pelosi's Home Has Been Attacked
Backintheday544 replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I didn’t ask why they didn’t vote for it. SoCal informed us: “Stop taking everything on face value. The adults I saw this past week wouldn’t have been helped by another pork filled federal spending bill. WAKE UP“ I simply provided the bill and asked him to show the pork. If you would like to show the pork go ahead. -

It’s nice for you to give your own opinion…. Oh wait you don’t really have one except for copying and pasting news articles. plus this bill is filled with pork which is what your fellow righties said. None of your post is pork. -

Here’s the bill, please point to the pork. Since you say it’s filled with it, if you only want to point to a couple provisions that’s fine: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7780/text?format=txt -
Where in the Constitution does it say all government actions must be fair? If we cure cancer tomorrow do we not give it to people currently with cancer because it wouldn’t be fair to the people who died before? Is it fair when the GOP passes tax cuts that help the wealthy but raise the deficit a ton like TCJA? No. Why? Because government action doesn’t need to be fair. Any time the government acts, there will be people who come out for the better and people who feel it isn’t fair.

Debt to income doesn’t make sense. Say a lawyer has $150k in debt (3 years at $50k). Makes $200k. Debt to income is .6. A person making $30,000 took out $10k for community college. Their ratio is .33. So in your scenario, are we giving forgiveness to the higher ratio or lower ratio? plus the administrative burden is an issue. We saw with the stimulus payments what a pain it was to get IRS systems to talk to SS systems so people on SS who don’t file got a stimulus. Now you’d have DOE trying to talk to IRS and do a calculation. (Maybe it won’t be as hard since DOE already pulls IRS income info for IBR)

$125,000 per person is what it is. That’s fine with me. That hits middle America.

The fact that it’s being reviewed means the attorneys that lost at the lower level filed an appeal. While it’s the strongest case for standing, the lower courts ruling doesn’t seemed flawed, especially since it’s coming from a Republican judge. A means test needs to be placed somewhere. At least this has a test unlike PPP1.
-
Nothing burger for right now. The ruling doesn’t decide any merits of this case or anything. The lower ruling that the Republicans don’t have standing is still affirmed until the Appeals court can decide. So this pause on the forgiveness doesn’t tell us anything about how the court will rule on the Republican judges decision that there is no standing. MOHELA is probably the only entity or person in America with standing. They’re being dragged into the case by Republicans without being the one actually bringing a case. It seems highly doubtful they would bring a case is this fails at appeals.
-
This case had the best chance of going somewhere and a Republican judge threw it out. Every challenge has been defeated pending some appeals. The Supreme Court also denied to hear one of the cases. Biden ran for President. One of his campaign promises was a student debt forgiveness. The American people chose this. Elections have consequences. Policy promises like the are what put Biden over the top of Trump and helped secure the more progressive votes.

DeSantis For President in 2024?
Backintheday544 replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It’s not. His stunts stopped when he realized how much legal trouble he is in. Stunt led to: - Border being the same - Upsetting independents by his inhuman treatment of people who were legally here in the US - At least 3 criminal investigations involving the stunt - The people who were here legally, now being certified as part of a crime, have a clearer path to stay here legally. DeSantis didn’t even getting illegal immigrants out of his state. I’d say this hurt arguments about the border. My personal feelings have changed. It’s obviously not a big deal if DeSantis couldn’t find a singe illegal immigrant in his own state. When out sourcing to Texas, they couldn’t find any illegal immigrants. So the border must not be that bad. -
Michael Moore, who was one of the first to say Trump would win in 2020 says he thinks the Democrats will have a tsunami: https://www.salon.com/2022/10/10/michael-moore-predicts-democrats-will-win-big-in-the-midterms-will-he-be-right-again/ He is releasing a reason a day for his analysis. One include how an 18 year old Democrat won against a Republican incumbent in Idaho.

Yea! Don’t bite on what the left is saying. So what if he paid for an abortion and we have bank statements, receipts and a get well card from him as proof. Us conservatives are about family. So let’s listen to his family: “You have no idea what me and my mom have survived. We could’ve ended this on Day One. We haven’t. I haven’t told any stories. I’m just saying don’t lie,” he said. “Don’t lie on my mom, don’t lie on me, don’t lie on the lives you’ve destroyed and act like you’re some moral family man. Y’all should care about that, conservatives.”
