Good. I hope as a typical Republican he only focuses on issues little or unrelated to living conditions in Minnesota, including picking on transgenders. I doubt people want to hear of such nonsense in this age of inflation and an uncertain economy. Hillary Clinton hasn't even been jailed yet.

Somewhere along the way, taxes stopped being about roads, courts, and national defense.
They now exist to sustain worthless politicians and to reward the friends, donors, contractors, and constituencies that keep them in power.
Money is taken from everyone, filtered through Washington, and handed back to the favored few, all while being sold as compassion.
That isn’t a revenue system. It’s a patronage system.
A system built to serve itself has forfeited the right to exist.

I agree this is a huge problem. One year in, do you think any progress has been made on this with the current administration compared to the previous ones?

I think it was said without saying it.

They sure like to make us think it has. I have my doubts.

Honestly, you are well aware I'm no fan, but I was hoping that this was a part that may get better.
But, I think it is a congress issue more than Trump/president.
I sure wish there was a way to fix it. But, it would take a bunch of selfless people getting elected, and well, we ain't even in the right stratosphere for that on either side.

I was and I do recall cimarron. I picked up on a trend during the OP days. A lot of posters used characters from western movies for their avatar. So, I went with Sam Elliot as the cowboy from the Big Lebowski. Haven’t changed it in over a decade.

Has Cim not made it here?

Nope he never made the jump.
