    Woman Confronting Man at Walmart Using Food Stamps

    The government can smooth the process by making it easier for supermarkets and restaurants to donate excess food to community food banks.

    Trickle down is bullshit

    Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and put some of your own money towards your future financial security. I fully intend to.

    Trickle down is bullshit

    Well, that's not true. You have IRAs, Roth IRAs, Annuities, hundreds of other options. I thought you were a banker.

    Woman Confronting Man at Walmart Using Food Stamps

    If you pay taxes and don't take the benefits it makes as much sense as the government forcing you to get car insurance and then insisting that you pay for the damage yourself when you have a wreck. I don't give a shit if people have 'shame' or not. 40% of the food produced in this country is...

    Trickle down is bullshit

    Stocks that pay dividends are increasingly rare, mostly energy and utility stocks. Most just try to grow in value then split. It's great for big investors who want to pay capital gains instead of income tax, bad for people who want a lifetime of investment to yield stable income.

    Trickle down is bullshit

    I think it made sense in a less globalized economy, but there's no specific 'down' place for the rich to take their money. It's more like 'trickle out' where the money goes overseas to be hidden in shell corporations or invested in foreign markets or opening a new sweat shop in Indonesia.

    Woman Confronting Man at Walmart Using Food Stamps

    Even if you felt like blaming the individual, I took food stamps for a month, but I paid taxes before and after that and I get precious little benefit from the taxes I pay most of the time. She doesn't know how long that guy has been on food stamps or how much in taxes he paid before getting...

    8 time all-pro and NFL hall of famer Joe Schmidt dropped to the 7th round after suffering what was considered a career ending injury in college, back in 1953. But back then surgery was so primitive any knee injury was considered career ending. More recently, Chuck Howley was a first round pick...

    Like college coaches pulling down seven figures and saying kids have a "sense of entitlement" for wanting to keep their scholarship after getting injured.

    Archer: With Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys won't have a committee approach

    Well, I think the Colts beat up James pretty bad in his first two years. 369 and 387 carries. Then he blew out his ACL and was under 1000 yards for two years and was never the same guy. I think, especially with a rookie and a guy who doesn't have Emmitt's compact build you don't just hand it to...

    BTW, what happened to Ted Cruz? It's like the primary process completely broke him.

    2016 POTUS Election Thread

    I think there's a greater level of disgust with the entire process to the degree that it's demotivating. I think Hillary will win, but some kind of landslide and down-ticket mandate is beyond the public's level of interest. IMO, this is going to be a gritty, nasty, low turnout election where...

    Archer: With Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys won't have a committee approach

    I hope we are judicious with Elliot's carries. I'd really like to give him about 300 carries. We have a couple of solid veteran backs behind him who can take 100-150 carries each no problem. McFadden can also catch some passes. I'd like to see some third down sets with Elliot and McFadden both...

    Archer: With Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys won't have a committee approach

    I wouldn't compare Edgerrin James to Peterson, but I have no problem comparing Elliot to Edgerrin James.

    In that case WGAS what he's saying right now? He's got a year to change his damned mind. Stupid ass fans should have left him alone and hoped he came back.

    I think the under 30 crowd will stay home and the over 30 crowd among Bernie supporters will turn out to vote against Trump. If Trump hadn't gone completely insane and threatened to punish women for having abortions I would have thought he had a chance to pull independents in this election, but...

    What it's going to come down to is anyone in the Bernie movement that supports Clinton now will deeply and bitterly regret it by 2020, when she does nothing whatsoever to push the agenda that he forced her to pay lip service to during the primaries and they will abandon the party in droves.
