I took on KB below.. in a post over taxes.. https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1203626&posts=51#M11254853 

and I actually agreed with him on another.. hum.  So compromise is possible.

I do like the verse linked Saturday.  Proverbs 16:9 look it up.  “Order my steps.”

As noted before.. a family whom I go to church with.. their child lost her job due to Musk Doge budget cuts.  They are not Democrats.. but definitely NOT TRUMP supporters.. especially now.

Last week.. an undocumented businessman who’s lived in SW Kansas tried to gain legal status.. runs a business employing Americans.  Not only was his application denied.. but the Gestapo ICE agents showed up.. and kicked him out of the Country.

80% of the Hispanics here probably are undocumented.. right now.. they are maybe trying to decide.. do we go to work.. or is today the day we flee?  If and When they do.. nobody will be showing up at..

the slaughter plants.
the feedlots
the trucking companies
the mechanic shops.. like Deere, Case, etc..
Wal mart 
the electricians
the road paving crews
Etc.

here the economy will stop.

Is the Trump administration seriously considering sending the national guard.. some of whom are Hispanics.. into calm down Southern California.. where 1.4 million undocumented currently reside?

Will the Hispanics.. on the police line.. in the National Guard.. take on their brothers and cousins?

Or is this the start of a new civil war?  A battle between the Unions?  Trump Co backed $40/ hr.. vs the Hispanics SEIU.. et all.. who will be deported?

It would appear to me that Holman threw gasoline on the situation showing up at the court house to deport undocumenteds who were just TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.. and this show of force is gonna be the match.

If it goes?  It’s gonna burn all the way across the southwest to here.

Some days you wonder if anybody in the Trump administration has a brain cell or not.

Personally a family member lost his job to the tariffs last week.

Meanwhile Trumps economic team was touting the benefits of tax cuts for the well off.. as a benefit.. as the economy will grow under dynamic forecasting..

And Tariff taxes?  “Oh that’ll bring in $2.8 Trillion.. Musk is full of it.”  Hmmm.. so on one hand y’all are saying tax cuts.. will grow the economy.. but on the other hand Tariff’s tax increases won’t hurt the economy..

So which is it?

Meanwhile last Fridays jobs report shows that hospitality jobs surged.. as severance package fired workers in true millennial fashion take vacations before finding that next job.

Gonna be a great week.

I think Trumps big beautiful Budget busting bill is DEAD.

CHEERS.
