    So my left thigh has been bugging me for a few yrs. Pins and needles when I stand in one place for a while. No problem working as I walk quite a bit when working , but blows when cooking 

    After a few yrs it was realy bugging me , so at physical this winter I told my doc to do something

    He sceduled an MRI , $625 from me and a couple grand from my ins co.

    Then to a neuralogist to look at MRI  $50 from me and $550 from ins. 

    Then referred to physical theropy for 6 weeks , $100 a week from me and $200 from my ins co

    Then back to neuologist , another  $50 and $550

    He wants to send me to a pain center so they can pinpoint the nerve in my back that is causing it , then after they isolate it , Back surgery in december with a 4-6 weel recovery time.

     

    So Im working on a customers system last week and I knew he was a DR so I mentioned it . Turns out he actualy was a profesor who taught medical school and is now in private practice .

    The minute I told him what was bothering me he said " it is a pinched nerve in your groin , do not let them do back surgery.

    So I asked him what the fix is 

    he said " lose 15 lbs and dont put tools in your pockets " 

    Son of a bitch. Wish I mentioned it to him a few yrs ago

    I was told to get suspenders for my tool belt and not pull it too tight

    So you think the record numbers of farms killed off in 2018 had nothing to do with tariffs? 

    Tell me genius if the tariffs had no effect why was a bailout needed?  

    I don't expect an answer, you are just another low information lap dog trying to fit in.

    And what does anything Biden proposed have to do with tariffs and the damage they caused?        Whataboutism?

    If and when the corpses policies hurt small farms I will know, 1 of the remaining farmers takes hay from our land.

    Can't answer a simple question as to why a bailout was needed if the tariffs did no harm.

    Educate yourself on how many small farms the tariffs killed, look at the record number in 2018, our county alone went from 30 or so down to 7 and now there are 8. Look at the number in Wisconsin that went out in 2018.  

    And like I said you are a low information lapdog trying to fit in and you can't even answer a simple question.

    Glad someone said it....

    Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit apparently, "I SAID YOU CONSTANTLY DEFEND THE PARTY OF BIG SPENDERS". Do you know what that means or do you need it explained further? A simple yes or no answer is all that is required.

    Yes, and the fact is the righties always outspend them, Reagan, HW. more than Carter, W more than Clinton, Trump more than Obama, in fact Trump spent more in his first 3 years than Obama's last 4 and Trump's PPP was larger than the 850 billion stimulus under Obama not to mention the 2 trillion in stimulus.  Remember when the Republicans demanded cuts before they would raise the limit when Trump was pres.?

    The “ righty’s” are try to slow spending right now.

    and show me one post where I have advocated for mother spending,,,,I’ll wait.

    9 Crazy Examples of Unrelated Waste and Partisan Spending in Biden’s $2 Trillion ‘Infrastructure’ Proposal

    Just roughly one-third of the money goes to the kinds of spending people would usually associate with infrastructure.

    The Biden administration on Wednesday released a comprehensive $2+ trillion spending proposal ostensibly focused on infrastructure. But there’s much more to this plan than meets the eye.

    A glance at the proposal reveals many items that appear only tenuously related to infrastructure. In fact, several don’t appear to be related to infrastructure at all.  

    Here are 9 of the most suspect items in Biden’s “infrastructure” proposal, taken directly from a fact-sheet on the plan the White House released.

    1. $10 Billion to Create a ‘Civilian Climate Corp’

    The Biden administration proposes spending $10 billion to create a “Civilian Climate Corp.” The White House claims that “This $10 billion investment will put a new, diverse generation of Americans to work conserving our public lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, and advancing environmental justice through a new Civilian Climate Corps.”

    2. $20 Billion to ‘Advance Racial Equity and Environmental Justice’

    The proposal sets aside a whopping $20 billion—more than the latest COVID package spent on vaccines—for “a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.” 

    3. $175 Billion in Subsidies for Electric Vehicles

    Electric vehicles: A technological novelty so good it won’t catch on without hundreds of billions in subsidies. At least, that’s apparently what the Biden administration thinks, as its infrastructure proposal earmarks a “$174 billion investment to win the electric vehicle market.” 

    The spending will take the form of manufacturing subsidies and consumer tax credits, which historically have benefitted wealthy families most. For comparison, the proposal carves out more for green energy goodies than it does on the total $115 billion to “modernize the bridges, highways, roads, and main streets that are in most critical need of repair.”

    4. $213 Billion to Build/Retrofit 2 Million Houses & Buildings

    When most people hear “infrastructure,” they think of roads, bridges, tunnels, and so on. But the Biden administration’s definition of the term is Olympian-gymnastics-level flexible. Apparently, the president considers it “infrastructure spending” to allocate $213 billion to build or retrofit 2 million “sustainable” houses and buildings. They also slip in $40 billion for public housing, stating this will “disproportionately benefit women, people of color, and people with disabilities.”

    5. $100 Billion for New Public Schools and Making School Lunches ‘Greener’

    You might remember that the last “COVID” legislation had $128.5 billionin taxpayer dole-outs for public schools; much of the money will be spent years after the pandemic and there was no requirement that schools actually open. Yet this was, evidently, just the beginning. The Biden “infrastructure” plan includes another “$100 billion to upgrade and build new public schools.”

    “Funds also will be provided to improve our school kitchens, so they can be used to better prepare nutritious meals for our students and go green by reducing or eliminating the use of paper plates and other disposable materials,” the proposal reads. (Emphasis mine).

    6. $12 Billion for Community Colleges

    One generally thinks of infrastructure and higher education as separate, distinct sectors. Yet the Biden “infrastructure” plan slips in $12 billion for states to spend on community colleges.

     
     

    7. Billions to Eliminate ‘Racial and Gender Inequities’ in STEM

    The proposal includes several billion dollars allocated to reduce supposed “racial and gender inequities” in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) research and development. 

    What this has to do with interstate infrastructure is not adequately explained.

    8. $100 Billion to Expand Broadband Internet (And Government Control of It)

    Loosely lumped under the broad term “digital infrastructure,” the plan allocates $100 billion to “bring affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband to every American.” Interestingly, the proposal openly states that it wishes to promote government and NGO control of broadband and push out private sector providers: It “prioritizes support for broadband networks owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, non-profits, and co-operatives—providers with less pressure to turn profits.”

    9. $25 Billion for Government Childcare Programs

    The plan includes $25 billion “to help upgrade child care facilities and increase the supply of child care in areas that need it most.” According to the White House, “funding would be provided through a Child Care Growth and Innovation Fund for states to build a supply of infant and toddler care in high-need areas.”
