CBO does a simpleton's analysis and makes extremely conservative assumptions about economic growth and revenue forecasts. They are never terribly accurate with predictions.

They predicted huge deficits from TCJA, but TCJA brought in more revenue than was projected under prior law.

A while back I was riding with a friend who got t-boned by a guy who ran a red light while watching a video on his phone. I ended up with a broken wrist so I went to see my ortho. Been seeing this doctor for 10 years. Guy had done my ACL repair, helped with stress fracture, and several other prior issues.


I had a similar experience. Dude ran a red light and i tboned him. I was unconscious for a few minutes, and had a bad concussion. I couldn't drive for about 2 months. I had a consistent headache for about 6 months and nearly daily headaches for another three months. It was miserable. I tried to go to a neurologist, and when I filled out that it happened in a car accident he cancelled my appointment, and wanted $5000 upfront before he would treat me. I had to get a funding group to pay for my treatments upfront in exchange for the cost plus a percentage if my case were to settle.

Gordon’s machine runs off churning and burning low value claims


The settlement mills like Gordon will absolutely recommend settling a $500,000 case that will take a year for $100,000 if they can get it in 2 months.
I bet Trump would settle for nothing if CBS admitted to wrongdoing and apologized. They are going to try to their way out though.
If I had to guess they didn’t understand the data set and that looked like fraud. Instead of investigating and getting educated on the data they made inflammatory tweets.
I met the entire clan several years back. I was doing some consulting with the producers on their film tax credits. Some members of the family were gung ho on the production getting tax credits because they knew it could mean more money for them. Not Phil though. He said they didn't need to be on welfare.
Literally nobody believes the accusations. The Democrat leadership believes them least of all.

Freedom of religion is a fundemental human right, and the authority to tax is the authority to destroy. You can't have both free exercise of religion and taxation of churches.

Now tell me do you think all not for profits should be taxed or just churches?
The only threat North Korea poses is to the scarecrows that make up their population.

Hearing his own voice.
The next time Michael Tracey is right about anything, it will be the first time.
I mean, at the end of the day, 11 more criminals running around New Orleans is like 11 more grains of sand at the beach.

Probably the only person currently who can stand up to the stupid LAGOP. I'm sure Kennedy could if he wanted, but would be an idiot to leave his Senate seat to be governor.


Kennedy won't leave the Senate as long as he can lob grenades, and give folksy quips on the news channels and face no actual accountability. He doesn't want to be governor because all the things he said he would do as governor in regards to cutting spending, and improving efficiencies were all fictions. He knew that when he said it, but he also knew people liked to hear it, and he would never have to answer to any of it.
Yes. And probably easily. The idiots of this state love a fellow idiot.

You shouldn't personify inanimate objects. They hate when you do that.

This bill is one reason. He also had another dumb bill which gave the legislature oversight of the EBR GOP executive committee.

I’m confused by this, earned income should be subject to the standard deduction, NIL money is earned income.


I would assume most NIL money is paid to a loan out company, which may or may not be a disregarded entity. I have seen a couple different structures.
It was a stupid idea, and just insulting to anyone else subject to income tax. McMakin shouldn't get a second term.
