You won't be there either Bogie Shooter. Even if you know why I won't be there. You are someone I admire although we sit across the aisle from each other. I respect you as a good person and admire the state you are from.
Some of us wouldn't be there no matter whether we would choose red or blue shirts. I don't think marching or parading does any good or changes any minds. It just usually aggravates the other side.

News flash - Latest fiscal deficit due to the tax cuts for the wealthy is the largest since the Great Recession, according to Forbes. The IMF warns that the path of federal debt is unsustainable. Estimates are the US is facing a deep economic slump and a possible deep recession.
That is why people rally. That and a host of other issues.

Tax cuts???.............not sure I agree. Not sure the largest deficit adder (if that's a word) cut taxes for the wealthy.
Deficit Additions:
Obama = $6.7T
Bush (W) = $3.3T
Reagan = $1.4T

Wishing folks on here would use facts......PLEASE
As projected in the FY 2019 budget, Trump plans to add $8.282 trillion, a 41-percent increase from the $20.245 trillion debt at the end of Obama's last budget for FY 2017. He will add almost as much in four years as Obama did in eight. That would also make him the second-biggest contributor to the debt in history in just one term.
FY 2021 - $1.119 trillion.
FY 2020 - $1.198 trillion.
FY 2019 - $1.225 trillion.
FY 2018 - $1.233 trillion.

"The U.S. Federal deficit was $587 billion in Obama’s last year and it grew to $666 billion in Trump’s first year of his presidency. I’ve been reviewing a report from the U.S. Treasury Department, which shows that the U.S. Federal Deficit will probably increase this year (fiscal 2018), could come close to if not exceed $1 trillion in fiscal 2019 and will likely exceed $1 trillion in fiscal 2020 and beyond. And this is before the additional deficits created by the tax reform bill and the just passed two year budget. Note that the U.S. fiscal year ends in September."

"The White House’s midyear budget projections see federal deficits surpassing $1 trillion in 2019.
In an annual budget review, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimated that new legislation enacted since the release of its February budget — alongside new projections on other spending and receipts — would add $101 billion more to the 2019 deficit, pushing it above $1 trillion."

That is one thing that has puzzled me since I've been coming to this forum. With as many people that live in TV that have come from NY and NJ, and the east coast in general, I would have expected the ratio of Liberals to Conservatives to be a little higher. From what I've garnered over the couple years that I've been on this forum I would have to place my unscientific guess at about 80/20.

When I came here in 2000, as someone who worked with and for the Republican Party for many years, I was aware of The Villages as a Republican bastion
Lot has changed. I, personally left the party. Others who would not embrace extremes have left. Not all became Democrats..I am now a Registered Independent and the fervor is leaving.
Your percentages were correct when Sarah Pain was welcomed as a goddess here, and certainly Fox keeps sending their folks here.
I think it is changing, but still considered, NOT conservative, but Republican. They are not the same any longer

Since I am still working, and in Manufacturing, I will just be nice and say that you are mistaken.
In 37 years in the working world, about half of that in high level supply chain (purchasing) jobs, I have NEVER seen an economy as good as this one. What really amazes me is despite the fact that everyone is REALLY busy, and having trouble finding new workers, they are not raising prices.
Talking with my suppliers on a daily basis I hear about all the reshoring they are doing to USA. I work for a "Made in USA" company, but many of my suppliers import from overseas and are working on moving large portions of that business back here if they can. The small percentage of what I do buy from China I have active projects to reshore in the next 6 months.

Your post is indicative of what is wrong with America right now. It is written to belittle someone for their beliefs which are different from yours, added to which you threw in the "lefties" comment. Would it not be possible for you to call them Democrats?
I remember a time when this country was kinder and gentler, where you did not ask your neighbor what he "was", meaning left or right. There was a time when it did not matter which party you supported, only that you were a decent person trying to raise a family like the rest of your neighbors.
Now this hatred has been allowed to surge in to every day life. We call each other names - for what. What purpose does it serve to rail against someone because they do not believe as you do.
This country will NEVER be great again until this hatred and mistrust of one another dissipates and we all go back to living our own lives without name calling and maybe, just maybe, we can become proud of our place in the world again.

Just curious,.. Why do you find it necessary to continuously post about how financially well off you are? Is it to impress us or to impress yourself? Because if you're trying to impress us I'm pretty sure you're not.
Maybe he doesn't have celebrity Facebook friends or multiple degrees to brag about.

Since I am still working, and in Manufacturing, I will just be nice and say that you are mistaken.
In 37 years in the working world, about half of that in high level supply chain (purchasing) jobs, I have NEVER seen an economy as good as this one. What really amazes me is despite the fact that everyone is REALLY busy, and having trouble finding new workers, they are not raising prices.
Talking with my suppliers on a daily basis I hear about all the reshoring they are doing to USA. I work for a "Made in USA" company, but many of my suppliers import from overseas and are working on moving large portions of that business back here if they can. The small percentage of what I do buy from China I have active projects to reshore in the next 6 months.
That is the real world. Not the Fake News.
Hope you are correct, but historically a booming economy in a sea of red ink (deficits) carries many many risks. The deficit grows.....as suggested we cannot just 'print more money"
You need to finance those deficits and the government will need to borrow money via the bond market. In order to attract buyers, the interest rate will be high which will make it all the more a bad situation.
Next domino is the corporate bonds, which will make it more costly to grow.
And maybe the most important is how do we fight off the next recession ?
Again, hope you are correct but history says otherwise.

I thought political threads were not permitted? This is (was) a "what time does the cart rally begin" thread.

And the rally is over so the thread should be closed

I find myself becoming increasing intolerant of those who are intolerant of the things I am becoming more intolerant of because of others intolerance.

Can't help myself so here goes;
-Chat worked his heinie off in the restaurant business and was able to cash out on the plus side. I say kudos to him. It's why he knows so much about fine dining. All of us did what we needed to secure our retirement. No matter what amount you ended up with, I say kudos to you for not sitting back and living on Uncle Sam's dime.
- Jumping to conclusions seems to be a growing trend. I did not take Chat's post as racist in the least. Fact is, if you study the candidate's positions, they do mirror a certain political persuasion voiced by our past President which has never worked anywhere in the world.
- Finally, I could care less whether there were 9, 20, or 200 golf carts on parade. Irrelevent in a community of 125,000. Just like 100,000 marching in D.C. do not represent 330 million Americans. All I know is, if you do not search your own soul and conscience; if you do not do your due diligence BEFORE you vote; and if you only want to blindly pull a lever, well then, you deserve the government you get.
Mods, you may now close this thread.

I read about fear of "socialism".......it appears that the option is only spend, cut taxes and allow the deficit to grow.
Anyone hear of the word...compromise ?
Used to be used quite a lot.
However, it requires to stop hating people because of their party of registration, and here is the kicker....talk to each other.
Used to be the choice of all successful companies, country's, and good people.
Then again, it appears that will take all the "fun" out of politics.....and isn't fun the main goal ?
