A sobering experience. This congresswoman of color disagrees but I guess an old white fart like yourself knows better. looking forward to hearing more about what you are up to this weekend. I’m sure it’s fascinating.

I’m sure it’s fascinating. it's complicated...my feeling is if one is referring only to Africans, it is often considered derogatory. If applied to all nonwhites, it's a descriptive acceptable term. But I'm surprised that you take issue.... https://slate.com/human-interest/2016/08/colored-person-versus-person-of-color-how-does-society-decide-which-racial-terms-are-acceptable.html

You don’t have to defend yourself here. You should try to educate the congresswoman.
BillsFanNC Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Could go in transsurrection thread, but I appreciate Elon citing the data.
B-Man Posted Sunday at 10:05 PM Posted Sunday at 10:05 PM Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion when it was worth half that He cut 80% of the workforce that was not doing anything useful, unwavering against angry cries. He used the data to create xAI, which is now valued at $75 billion. X is now sustainably profitable for the first time, raising money recently at a $44 billion valuation — but this time it’s actually worth that , and has a 25% stake in xAI. Through his acquisition, he unseated the President of the United States of America. He changed the lives of X creators by introducing revenue share. Everyone laughed at him, mocked him, and attacked him for this acquisition. Look how it’s turned out so far. Now he wants to apply this formula to the federal government, and you ***** idiots want to murder him? You want to kill America’s leading clean energy and technology company? You prefer the status quo of multi trillion dollar deficits? You prefer spending more on INTEREST on the national debt than we do on national defense? You realize that the federal government ran fine in the past without multi trillion dollar deficits right? We used to actually have a budget surplus. How did something Democrats used to support under Obama and Clinton turn into something that makes Democrats want to start a terror campaign? This is why we can’t have nice things. God bless the DOGE team for trying to do what’s right for our children and grandchildren in the face of so much hatred.

ONLY by including FICA revenues as general revenue was there a surplus. And those have ALWAYS been earmarked to be spent as payments to retired workers since they day the government collected them. The national debt increased in those years that we had "surpluses" while 42 was in office.
