You need a hobby.

Plenty of hobbies, golf, woodworking, yard work, traveling, refinishing old furniture, and reading the good book!
I try to read IU comics every chance I get! But I like to study the ins and outs of college basketball, stats, team schedules and coaching philosophies! I used to coach basketball and played one year of college ball. Love the sport! Thank You!

I appreciate the link and was curious how they came up with their claims. Immigrants consume less because the study includes SS/Medicare and their younger on average and/or not immediately available for those programs. The study also didn’t measure other social costs, chiefly education. The state of Indiana spends around 10,000 a year on each child for example.

We will pay $10,000 per child for native. We need children, they drive the economy more than anything. They provide future workforce.

As to Social Security, older people can immigrate. They just are not going to pay much or any in. So they will not get much, or any, out.

Maybe. But Harris might beat him, too. The point is that the story here isn't that the Dems threw this away by picking the wrong candidate. The Dems were always going to be the underdogs. The GOP was the party in the driver's seat. They were the ones who could have locked this up at the convention by nominating the right candidate.

There were three other chances to remove Trump from office. Impeachment #1, #2, and right after Jan. 6th. But the republicans in congress chose not to do so. They didn't have the balls to do the right thing.

No, I'm not. I yawned just listening to you explain your perspective. It makes sense why you like it.

Well to each his own I guess. You are right I am a boring old fart but I am absolutely giddy about all of this. I have been waiting for a long time. Let’s just hope it all goes well. Go Hoosiers!

You just said immigration. I think we should have a lot of immigration.... But it should be done a much more deliberate and intentional manner. Not the free for all we have now.

The groping claim? That's not going to make a ripple.

Eta: Halperin says there's something being shopped around that could break Trump. No way he's talking about the latest groping accusation.

Yes and no. The narrative always was its good for countries economies. However, that is a bullshit. Almost all immigration is a net negative for developed nations, with large safety nets. And it’s especially bad for the working class people living in the country.

In the US, immigrants consume less social welfare per capita than native born. Often, much less:


There is nothing that prevents us from changing our safety net laws to block immigrants from full access for 5 years (or any other number) to eliminate that concern. We could require 5 years of work before becoming a citizen.

I do not know when your family arrived but there is a damn good chance people did not want them here. Since its founding, this country has had a real love/hate relationship with immigrants.

Supposedly big Republican turnout for early voting. I've been visiting the nursing homes and collecting votes there and taking them to drop-off boxes, now that I know tracking is supposedly impossible.

Not that the past is predictive of the future in all cases, but our most productive citizens are probably descended from people who came over in a free for all. I only say that to suggest that when it comes to the value of a particular immigrant, we have to consider future generations, as well.

I hope we Win by 80..., but given all the unknowns (Washington coming off a Bye with new packages, some of their injured coming back and T's first start this year)..., I'm leaning towards :

INDIANA...... 37
Washington 27

I figure we'll kick more FG's rather than going for it on 4th down this time out...

Cig doesn’t kick field goals. If we are around the 30 and have a lead and a manageable 4th down, he’s going for it.
