    Social security by the numbers

    You paint with a very broad brush. I don't want SS to go away. It is a social contract that the US Govt. agreed to with the voting public - you pay X amount in over your working lifetime based on your income and you get a guaranteed amount Y back when you retire. I don't believe the Govt...

    Social security by the numbers

    Better go back and check your facts. Clinton never had a recession. The recession of 1990-1991 (-1.4%) lasted 8 months (started in July) and was a result of the S&L crisis aftermath and Gulf War oil spike. Cost Bush I re-election. The next recession occurred in 2001 (March) when Bush II had...

    Social security by the numbers

    You're awfully naive aren't you. Or just disingenuous.

    Social security by the numbers

    It's the President who provides leadership and signs off on anything that comes out of Congress. The Oval Office has final responsibility for what does or does not get enacted.

    Social security by the numbers

    Come on, you're better than that. Clinton had 8 yrs to do something as did Obama. Biden had 4 yrs. 20 yrs out of the last 30 have been controlled by Dems in the White House. Bush had 8 years, Trump 1st term 4 yrs. Now Trump is halfway through his second. Fixing SS has been punted by both...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I make no assumptions about you. Just offering cautionary advice for future actions is all. Glad you have a clear vision of how you want to live your life.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Good for you. That is 1000% your choice to make in life. But own that decision going forward (and the consequences that come from it in the future) and don't whine and complain that others have more than you, can afford a bigger house, nicer cars, more vacations, more toys, earlier retirement...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    As an employee, I always looked at it as "do I need the company more than the company needs me?'. As an early career employee, it was definitely the former. Looking for opportunities to improve/better myself outside my "core" area of expertise and make myself more valuable to the company was...

    Lawsuit Filed to Cement Legality of Corner Crossing in Montana

    My guess would be an appeal to the 9th regardless of how the state court rules as either losing side will want to get a higher opinion/clarity. If 9th upholds/rules that CC is illegal, now you have a conflict between the 10th and the 9th and SCOTUS would have to settle it, assuming the...

    Alaska Highway (AlCan) vs. Cassiar Highway

    I drove the Cassiar fall of 2024 from Colorado up to Watson Lake where I had a moose hunt. Great drive, highly recommend. Saw moose, deer, caribou, buffalo, and black bears between Grande Prairie and WL. Some long stretches with few gas stations; especially between Fort Nelson and WL. Will...

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    I was thinking more along the lines of if someone can dig that story up for a March 2026 story after 13 years have passed, then it is still floating out in the ether and wouldn't be too hard to find last fall and knowingly or unknowingly assign it as a recent event. But that is all speculation.

    MT EQC to determine corner crossing as "illegal"

    Thanks Randy. I don't disagree with any of your points. CO has been using CPW in similar fashion to push agendas contrary to their broader stakeholder interests. The reference to you wanting to corner-cross and get a ticket probably traces back to the planned crossing in the Crazy Mountains...
