Probably but I have never really heard a politician frame it that way. Would you like a $0 utility bill? You could have one if we simply spend slightly more on defense than everyone else instead of way more.
From the Independent:
America’s lowest-income workers aren’t going to see much of difference in the money they get back from the IRS. Those who made less than $20,000 a year will average $13 more from their refund, while those who earned $20,000-$50,000 will receive $89.
$89! One tank of gas!!
If we cut ICE's budget and built wind turbines with that money, we could offer free, and emissions free, electricity to 10 million homes!!
It is about choices. Democrats - start putting some numbers on these choices.
Cut the military budget in half and EVERYBODY gets free electricity!!
If we cut the defense budget by $600 billion (still leaving us the country that spends the most on defense) we could provide enough wind/solar generated energy to give everybody in the country free electricity. It would be THAT easy.
That is just from one year!!!
I have serious doubts that the Mets as a team will put together a similar streak in the next 53 games.
ICEs budget is a disgrace. In addition,
If we lowered the military budget to be equal to our next highest competitor, China, we would save $600 billion a year.
That would be enough to build wind power for EVERY American household AND build a $500k home for every homeless person.
If you had taken the $850 million given to Pegula and instead built publicly owned windmills, you would have generated enough electricity for everybody in Buffalo to get free electricity for 30 years!
What would have made Buffalo a more attractive place to live??
For the amount paid to this asshole, Buffalo could have built 200 publicly owned windmills. Enough to provide FREE electricity to EVERY Buffalonian for 30 years!!!
If you tack on the $400 million that will be paid in maintenance, you could have given every homeless person in Buffalo $400 k.
Seems like the more Stearns puts his imprint on this team, the worse they get. They look like a AAA team since the trade deadline last year.
Once again, just thank you to all those high minded idealists who don't vote Democrat because "both parties are the same".
Democrats sure aren't perfect but how about we live in the real world where we don't throw a fit if everything doesn't go our way.
Yo man this dude has six fingers and three arms!! Must draft!
Did everyone notice Cohen sitting front row at last night's Knicks game? He is the JD Vance of sports!
And Texas looks likely to backfire as Hispanic voters give up on Trump
So the Strait will be closed for a completely unknown amount of time. Trump admits there isn't anybody to negotiate with.
Wall Street: sounds great. A crash is coming!
Turns out winning isn't so easy without insider trading. You know is most responsible for this? Steve Cohen.
He hired Stearns and signs off on all his shitty signings.
Here's how dumb our country is. New York gave a billionaire $850 million to build a football stadium that he could easily have paid for himself.
For the same investment, 200 windmills could have been installed that would have provided EVERY house in Buffalo free electricity for 30 years!!!

So this guy's point is that the new Bills stadium is a great deal for tax payers because the players pay $30 million in income taxes to New York.
Umm, the government is on the hook for MORE than that for improvements and maintenance every year.
Complete scam!
In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.
Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.
So every year prices go up more than wages.
It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.
It's billionaires
But who replaces them?? Trump never ceases to amaze with his ability to hire worse
Not unreasonable. I don't think he makes the bichette, williams or polanco deals without the pressure to do something that comes from ny.
He would have made cheaper signings and let kids take over
All those signings are disasters.
😂
Let me guess: Tim Cook is about to find his spine and say how crazy Trump is in his tell all book.
Tax the fuck out of that piece of shit!

Please read. There is NO WAY this does not end up on our doorstep with much higher inflation.
You completely changed how you fuel your car with no preparation and are shocked it takes you 10 extra minutes to fuel up. The first thing most people do before they buy an EV is make sure they can charge it where they live. If you can't, I wouldn't buy one.
Ugh, truly hard to stomach. The whining from Bruins fans last night after the Sabres win one playoff game (their first in 14 years). Amazing feat to pull of the city of champions and city of whiners at the same time!

This seems to be the case. Gas stations around me stuck at $3.99 for about a week when prices should have been closer to $5. They still should be based on the fact that over 3,000 tankers have never set sail that would have.
Seems fair. I'm sure that money will make it back into our hands. Just another corporate scam with the aid of Trump.
We also need plastic companies to start paying for ALL recycling programs (even if they don't really work). And fossil fuel companies need to pay for the damage they have done and continue to do.
We continue to pay the cost of business and see none of the financial benefits.
Come on people. Isn't that how you live your life. You get in a car and just drive around until you run out of gas then look to fuel up.
The dumbest article but so typical of coverage of EVs. 90% of driving is short trips but the OBSESSION is always with long trips.
