Free Market Capitalism

Post by kalm »

:lol:

Although as it turns out, certain Democrats benefit too.

I'm not fan of Chuck Grassley but at least he leaves the USDA payments in his name. Most of the farmers around here put their farms into one or more corporation so they can somewhat hide who is receiving the payments.

There were more private and corporate jets at Obama’s inauguration than Trump’s.

Meh. I didn't write the meme.

Obama got the ball on his own 1 yardline with 8 minutes to go and down by two touchdowns. He engineered a 7+ minute drive and used up all 3 timeouts. POOR CLOCK MANAGEMENT. Trump had to execute the onsides kick and Hail Mary to force overtime.
