    That's Iran's money and letting them have it for prisoners is a good reason. We don't have to have a bad relationship with Iran because of the past. Trump made continuing hostile relations a priority while he loves Saudi Arabian money. That's backwards thinking. It's not 1975

    Expecting a good faith argument from @Invisible Fan is a good joke. Dude think Biden is a secret king pulling the levers in the oval office.

    California legislator passing laws= secret Biden enforcement

    The money is controlled by the US state Department. You're falling for Iranian propoganda. What a surprise

    Trump and Bush have fought California over their car emissions standards because it essentially creates two vehicle lines for car companies, one for California regulations(+ other states that follow) and the other for the rest of the nation.

    Yes, the Cal ARB is within their rights because the southern california region has historically been out of compliance for Fed Clean Air standards so they're typically able to win those waivers.

    BUT the Trump admin revoked California's longstanding authority to set stricter vehicle emission standards than federal standards in 2019 and it largely held until in 2021 that coincides with what House Republicans were trying to do in that last article.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/clim...af2ee0-d97b-11e9-a688-303693fb4b0b_story.html

    It's not silly because you claim it's silly on the surface. CA has been the vanguard for improving env regulations above and beyond national EPA standards out of necessity, and its market size for cars extends that "mandate" beyond its borders.

    Dude why do you even bother? You like this place becoming an even more toxic mess?

    Since you want to resume our last "discussion" and you love random distorted school girl attacks:

    You do not have the temperament of a "Successful Sales Man".

    Your clingy and petty nature suggests you're an only child, with maybe industrious but very neglectful parents. They spoil you with unwarranted affirmation but that has caused "loneliness" as a consequence.

    RECOMENDATION: Do everyone here a favor. Treat your "employees" to lunch, and let them pretend they like and respect you.​

    I find it unreasonable (silly for fun) to hold the federal government responsible for the actions of a state, especially one that has historically had the authority to establish its own emission standards since 1966. This state was traditionally granted these waivers (hundreds of them) due to its pre-existing emission standards, even before the EPA existed.

    That post is too weak. Ever since Bush Jr., we have been hitting a new record high every second.

    I understand that, debt went down from 98 to 2001. Those were rarities. I don't want to get into a political debate just saying technicality if it always goes up its always a record.

    Clinton had an amazing economy with the tech boom and he did well with tax policy. All I'll say in terms of politics when when the economy is doing well we have to raise taxes and address debt.

    this is an op-ed by Sarah Jaynes, executive director of the Rural Democracy Initiative.


    I grew up in a rural community, began my career as an organizer in small towns, and now lead one of the largest efforts to rebuild pro-democracy, pro-worker civic capacity in rural America. So I can speak with some authority when I say that President Biden, somewhat surprisingly, has ushered in a new economic paradigm that can radically transform the lives of rural people and build a more politically and economically secure future for all Americans.

    He calls his agenda “Bidenomics,” a term that will be hotly debated in the months ahead. But what does it mean? And what’s its significance for rural people?

    In simplest terms, Bidenomics arguably is the most significant departure in 40 years from the “free market revolution” that rose to dominance in the 1980s — a dramatic alteration to our country’s economic trajectory.

    However we describe the policies stemming from that revolution — often called “neoliberal” or “trickle-down” economics — it is beyond question at this point that policies which favor those holding all the wealth do not, inherently, benefit everyone else. In fact, the impact on rural communities too often has been quite the opposite.

    Small towns, in particular, have been hollowed out by free trade policies that sent a torrent of manufacturing jobs overseas. Financial sector deregulation destroyed local banking and stripped investment out of many small communities. Family farmers have been driven out of business in droves by ever-growing multinational companies running massive factory farms that pollute the air and water in local communities. And a continual wave of tax cuts that too often benefit only the wealthiest and most powerful have placed an incredible strain on the essential infrastructure that rural people need to live and work, including schools, healthcare, internet and roads.



    ...........

    The combination of executive and congressional action since Biden took office — from the American Rescue Plan, to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to the CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act and key executive action promoting competition and protecting workers — presents greater potential for revitalizing rural communities than anything since the New Deal. These were huge steps in the right direction, and yet rural people are still struggling. The updated Rural Policy Action Report offers a continued roadmap for how to help rural communities, protect the environment and core freedoms, and renew shared prosperity across geographic divides.

    I’ll leave it to others to debate the political wisdom of the label “Bidenomics.” But the wisdom of the policies themselves should be clear.

    These policies rest on the indisputable fact that everyday people — small-business owners, family farmers, workers, even unpaid caregivers — drive our economy. As the pandemic made clear, our work, our purchasing and our contributions are the engine of a healthy economy. And policies focused on our economic well being, particularly those that promote higher incomes and lower costs, generate growth — not policies prioritizing the rich and giant corporations.

    This is what President Biden is describing when he says that we need to “grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, not the top down.” When rural voters understand the choice between policies that prioritize their wellbeing versus policies that prioritize the wealthy and corporations, the choice is overwhelmingly clear.
