• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

You have the entire rest of the board to spam. In fact you already have one thread for that. Others who engage in spamming or trolling type of behavior have been asked to not post in THIS thread. If you cannot take the time, that most everyone else does, and read the content before posting duplicate content, don't post in this thread. If it happened occasionally, most people wouldn't even notice, but it happens all the time.

You do bring good content to this board, but for this particular thread, you need to check yourself a bit, read the other posts, engage, and significantly reduce the duplicate postings.

If you are going to throw temper tantrums like this, and continue to spam, I'd ask the moderators to speak with you. And if you continue this behavior, throw a thread ban on you.

We are asking very little of you. Have a little self awareness, show some courtesy, and tone it down a bit, because you otherwise do bring good information here and I'd like that to continue.

Thanks.

This is moronic. That's still $3 trillion in combined new spending, on top of the ballooned budget. We'll all pay for it dearly. But the RINOs need to pay with their jobs. Manchin has already agreed to another $1.75T. They just split it into two bills. You're either a fool or a shill, or both.
Fiscal conservatives have been saying this for decades without it ever coming to fruition.

Maybe one these days they’ll actually be right?
 
Nobody said that.

Call me traditionalist but inflation isn’t exactly “paying for it dearly”.
Lol.

How do you think we’ll pay for it?

Is the government going to send us a payment schedule and vouchers to send them monthly?

Inflation is the “tax” that pays for printing money out of thin air. If everything increase in cost 2x-3x greater than income, then yes, that can be described as paying “dearly” for poor monetary policy decisions.

I didn’t realize yore paying “dearly” threshold was so low. By that standard Americans have been paying “dearly” since the country’s creation.

It would seem that since some of the greatest periods in American history fall into the category you established that maybe that bar is being set unreasonably high for a reason but that would be a discussion for another thread entirely.

We’re just going to have to agree to disagree.

Some history review of The Founders, the founding documents, and Benjamin Franklin’s greatest invention:

“On April 3, 1729, Franklin published a pamphlet with the falsely humble title A Modest Enquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper Currency. It may be the least known of the great founding documents of the American experiment, but in it, he eviscerated his wealthy opponents. They had no real principle at stake, he wrote. Rather, they were greedy, relentlessly pursuing their own self-interest. The rich love currency crises because a lack of coins in circulation allows those who hold gold or silver to “practise Lending Money on Security for exorbitant Interest.” And, when times are tough, the wealthy can scoop up property at fire-sale prices. Without the trade that a robust money supply evokes, “the Common People in general will be impoverished, and consequently obliged to sell More Land for less Money than they will do at present.” Worse, Franklin predicted, when the land grab ends, those same purchasers will support expansion of the money supply, boosting the value of their new property.

Franklin argued that a well-run paper currency would ultimately benefit everyone: An adequate money supply lowers interest rates, encourages trade, creates more demand and raises the value of the colony’s products. He insisted that “labouring and Handicrafts Men (which are the chief Strength and Support of a People)” would move to Pennsylvania and those who were present would stay. Otherwise, skilled workers would seek “entertainment and Employment in other Places, where they can be better paid.”

Franklin simply made a pragmatic case: Paper money would solve the particular problem at hand. But what came next was his great revelation. How could paper currency ever be “real” money? Franklin’s answer was to recognize that money itself was simply a medium of exchange, a measure of value rather than its storehouse.”
