Whats going on in the World

It is a running joke. Democrats want the price of oil to rise so that everyone will think the EV is a great idea to save the planet. So when it happens on their watch it's great and bumpkis - while they can also chant Tax the Rich because the oil companies would be making record profits. And the planet is dying.

When it happens on the Republican watch, their spin is pain and suffering all around for the American people. And they still bitch and moan about taxing the rich and the planet dying.

Really - a very miserable bunch of people, saw this on another site.
But the price of gas is killing us.

Food for thought: latest budget from Hochul $270B, 10 years ago $153B. NYC latest budget $125B, 10 years ago $82B. A 76 percent and 52 percent increase respectively. Is it a tax or spending issue? Inflation during this period was 35 percent. So the state is 41 percent over inflation and the city is 17 percent over. Wages increased 46 percent over the same period. So wages have kept up with inflation and spending has far exceeded it.

I won’t even comment on the first three paragraphs it is so retarded. However, as to your food for thoughts on budgets……….

All those numbers are a joke. Show me the actual budget. You need to see it line by line, and in addition you need to understand the reason for each line item. Some examples which might confuse someone who is not aquatinted with doing large budgets might be things like……..

Is this an operating budget? Is the capital budget included in the numbers? What are the capital expenses. Were there are emergency’s that necessitated additional expenses? Are expenses rising because of things that the Federal Government had paid and now Trump cut? There is a lot of that going on. And a thousand other things.

In short your food for thought is meaningless.

And one last thing on budgets………. Trump has contributed more to the nations deficit than just about any other President. His spending is out of control. He has also lined his pockets with more money in his presidency that all past presidents did combined. Now he wants 1.5 Trillion for national defense?

I’ll pass on reading it. I understand budgets having worked on many.
You read it perhaps you will learn something and not just throw out useless numbers.

Do you fish?
