Oregon Counties Vote to Secede

[RaceBannon]

Oldest game in the world by democrats
The only thing we can cut is your social security
Fuck off
Trump is exposing the waste. The savings will be immense

 

[pawz]

We're serious about cutting spending and waste
Your team is protesting both

You'll be squealing like a stuck pig if you suffer a dime's worth of loss in any of this.

squealing like a stuck pig

Is that different than what you do here everyday? Asking for the record.

The waste and fraud incentivize even more waste and fraud to fix the initial waste. Example is we gave Fauci billions and he used that money to create trillions of more costs and he ended up getting a raise on his billions. We didn’t get to $36 trillion by accident.

 

[HHusky]

The fallacy is that we already do have a tax structure that is very progressive and taxes the "rich". The top 1% pay about 25% of federal income taxes collected. The top 50% pay almost a 100% of the federal income taxes collected. The bottom 50% pay almost none. If you have a $5 million dollar home you pay a lot more property tax than someone living in a $250,000 condo. Same with sales taxes.
The same economic morons that are claiming that tariffs will impact the cost of living for consumers (true) but then think that corporations don't try to passthrough corporate income taxes to the consumer. We don't have a tax problem. We have a spending problem and yet Tug leftards are going insane over Trump and Doge rooting out fraud and waste. You think we are getting any ROI on education "investment"? The Department of Wasteful Energy? The CDC? Geezus.

We have a massive budget deficit because nothing is being properly analyzed. Just increasing taxes to fill that gap isn’t going to negate the inefficiency of government spending. There’s more than a solid argument that many areas of government bring down the ROI on other areas of government that maybe do have a good/OK return just by existing. Like the military spending time on DEI.

Interesting you should mention the military expenditures. Daddy's team is shifting the money, not returning it to the Treasury. There's no spending decrease.

 

[Bob_C]

Let it play out. We supposedly pay people in government to make these kind of decisions based on real analysis and cut their own waste and offer it back to the treasury.

Since we don’t actually do that for some reason, DOGE is filling in the gap, if you’ll let them.

I keep trying to figure out how that works with the equal protection.

I will give Eastern Oregon to Idaho, including Deschutes County, if California gets Reno and Vegas.

Northern Kali wants to be part of Greater Idaho too.

You can have everything in Cali north of I-80 + a 50 mile buffer. That will snag you Redding, Eureka, Chico, Susanville, Alturas, and Weed. If it's worth your while, what's your trade?

Weed

I love Weed. The disc golf course at the College of the Siskiyous is nasty. They call it the University of OB. The struggle is very real.

 

[Sledog]

Disc golf? Answers a lot of questions.

We've been over this.
Big Ern is far better at disc golf than you are at any hobby.
Golfers continue to pay $ to hit a dimpled ball with a stick at the country club while real n'z spin it for free, often on the same course.

 

[Bob_C]

I thought it was called frolf. Is there a difference or did the rebranding work?

Why don’t these guys just move to Idaho?

You mean move to a state that had a budget surplus like Jay Inslee ?

Let me try this again….if they love Idaho, why don’t they just move there?
What happens if Idaho goes blue one day. Are they gonna want to come back? I hate to say this…but these guys are being entitled/woke

Idaho was blue in the past. When the Democrats believed in personal freedoms, less intrusion by the government, and were against war.
Church argued that the opponents of the Vietnam War needed to prevent the corruption of the nation and its institutions. To Church, the anti-war opposition was the "highest concept of patriotism—which is not the patriotism of conformity—but the patriotism of Senator Carl Schurz, a dissenter from an earlier period, who proclaimed: 'Our country right or wrong. When right, to be kept right: when wrong, to be put right."

It's never been called frolf. There's OGs out there who would get uppity of you called it frolf. It's no problem for me though. Anyone who calls it frolf is red meat.

World dchampion here. Shooting. Try harder.

Fuck off Fern!

We also spin plastic.
When it's windy I switch to my Vibram Ridge rubber for putting. Nobody embraces rubber like Ern. This mf takes most of my approaches from 200 in.

See? Gasbag isn't giving anything up. It's never changed in all the years here or before at the Woodshed.
I say you want tax cuts but that you're not serious about cutting spending and you girls promptly point out that you're perfectly willing to eliminate some tiny fraction of the budget that you don't think benefits you.

It never ceases to amaze me just how low-caliber of a poster you and your Tug Clown Car passengers really are when you try to actually debate or defend something.
Democrats are now the party of government waste/fraud as well as the party that thinks $5000 won’t “help anybody.” That’s what I’ve learned today.

mph, forgot the party of Chickenhawks like the Cheneys and are anti-free speech.

Chris is closer to redemption than most believe it or not imo.
