Florida Gov (Rick Scott) bitch slapped by judge

Let me ask you a question..if someone were to vote 100 times would it make a difference?..1000 times?

Voter ID infractions are 1/100th of a percent; not so much for voter suppression.

Why did they make people leave lines in Arizona (democratic primary) when they were clearly in line prior to being told to leave and therefore eligible to vote?

don't like the question?..i have another..

Why did media stop conducting exit polls during the Democratic Primary?

don't like the question?..i have another

Where in the US Constitution does it say felons are no longer eligible to vote?

don't like the question?..i have another..

What does GERRYMANDERING mean?..and if it doesn't happen, then why is there a word for it?

don't like the question?..i have another..

No, in person voter fraud CONVICTIONS are the number you claim. It is nearly impossible to get a conviction without an ID requirement. A thousand votes could only result in one conviction. Mail in ballots are nearly impossible to convict.
Never have seen a single case of verified voter suppression.
Asking me about a corrupt Democratic nomination is unproductive.
Where in the US Constitution does it say murder is illegal? The States have sole jurisdiction over voter regulations.
Ask Corine Brown about gerrymandering. The court ordered the State of Fl. to gerrymander a district just for her. Despite multiple convictions for taking bribes, she remained in office over 20 years.

Her predecessors private email, not State Dept. business. Why did she lie about it and attempt to destroy evidence if it wasn't an issue?

Funny how they SAY they believe that, and then show their hypocrisy through their actions.

This is why I don't believe in moralizing; quit preaching and SHOW me what your ethics stand for.

First, let me say..shut the fuck up, Red. @Catfish1966 or whatever your name is this week.

That's where the philanthropical comes in..it's where they buy the right to heaven after being a prick, dick and all around bastard by cheating working class who pay 30% of $50k, WHEN IT COSTS $30K TO EVEN LIVE IN THE US!!!

Schuylaar's tricky math question of the day: $50k - 30% = $35k

Average MONTHLY COLA - Single Person:

  • 30% ($634) Housing:lol:
  • 10% ($211) Utilities and other housing expenditures (including renters insurance):lol:
  • 15% ($317) Food (at home and away):lol:
  • 10% ($211) Transportation (including car loan):lol:
  • 10% ($211) Debt repayment (student loans and credit cards):lol:
  • 10% ($211) Saving:lol:
  • 5% ($106) Clothing:lol:
  • 5% ($106) Entertainment:lol:
  • 5% ($106) Car insurance and miscellaneous personal expenses:lol:
Utilities
We start with utilities, such as gas and electric. Your actual cost will vary by your location, season and how well-insulated your apartment is. If you live in Las Vegas, for example, you’ll spend a lot more on air conditioning this summer than someone in Minneapolis. But budgeting an average of $50 to $60 per month to power a one- or two-bedroom apartment should suffice. Many apartments come with garbage and water service included, so you may not have to worry about that.

Renter's Insurance
For renter's insurance, a good policy can run about $200 a year—or $17 a month.

Internet, Cable, Phone
You can save money on your Internet service by going back to the stone age of dial-up. You can find service for about $10 a month. But if that’s too drastic for your lifestyle, consider getting high-speed service through your cable-TV provider. You can usually get a cut-rate deal for bundling services together. The national average cost for basic cable is about $15 a month—$30 for expanded basic, to which the vast majority of cable watchers subscribe. Add a high-speed Internet connection for $40, and you’d do well to budget $70 or so for the whole package.

You might save money on your phone bill by scrapping your land line altogether and sticking to your cell phone. (A bare-bones landline service typically costs about $20 to $25 a month.) Cell phone bills can vary widely by location, provider and, of course, your own personal use. But the average cell phone bill in the U.S. runs about $50 to $60 a month. If that’s too steep for your budget, consider using a prepaid cell phone that charges you only for the minutes you use. If that’s too conservative, you may have to look for other areas to cut back.

Total
Now let’s add ’em all up: $50 for utilities, $17 for renter’s insurance, $70 for cable and Internet plus $50 for your cell phone, and you’re looking at $187 a month. We had budgeted $211, so that leaves you a $24 cushion for those months in which costs may vary. And if you live with a roommate, you may be able to share the cost of your utilities, cable and Web access, giving you even more leeway in your budget.

Possible adjustments
Two of the biggest areas to watch out for are the transportation and debt repayment categories.

Transportation
If you own your car outright, $211 a month for transportation is a good estimate—perhaps even too high. But if you have a car loan, your monthly payment will probably be more than $211 to begin with, let alone the money you’ll spend on gas, parking, maintenance and repairs. So before you rush out after graduation to buy your first set of wheels, make sure you are aware of the real cost of buying a car. For maintenance and repairs, you should budget at least $500 a year, or $42 a month—maybe more if you’re buying an older car.

For gas, let’s assume you drive 1,000 miles a month and your car averages 23 miles per gallon. You’d need to budget $117 per month with prices at $2.70 per gallon. That leaves only $52 for a car payment, parking and other transportation expenses. Clearly, not enough. (And, of course, wildly fluctuating gas prices can throw a curve ball here.)

Some cities are easy to live in without a car, thanks to good public transportation and bike paths. But in other cities, a car truly is a necessity. Look into carpooling with friends or coworkers. Or cut back somewhere else in your budget—say, spend less on food and entertainment or take on a roommate to split the cost of rent to help make ends meet.

Debt repayment
As for debt repayment, a college senior graduates with at least $20,000, on average, in student-loan debt. If you fall into that camp, you’ll spend $230 a month on a standard ten-year repayment schedule at 6.8 percent interest. You may need to negotiate a different time schedule with your lender, say, a 15- or 20-year repayment. Or you can ask for a graduated repayment schedule where you pay less per month now, but more toward the end of your loan period. There is also an income-contingent repayment which bases your bill on a percentage of your actual salary.

The average college senior also graduates with $3,300 in credit card debt. At 18% interest and paying $80 a month (4 percent minimum payment of initial balance), it’ll take you about 2½ years to rid yourself of that debt. And that’s assuming you don’t charge another dime.

Same kind of right wing tool who won Senator Ted Kennedy's seat after he passed in 2010. Scott Brown served for less than 3 years (special election due to the Lion's death from brain cancer), replaced by none other than Elizabeth Warren.

We'll see if Florida shows the same wisdom. Having lived there and met and spoken with the electorate in those parts, I'm not holding my breath.

The fiftieth percentile wage in America doesn't cover all that.

$50k/yr used to be a respectable salary. Now a grand a week gross doesn't stretch to cover the bills?

I still think we're living through America's second Great Depression, only this time long and drawn out, since the Reagan Administration. I don't think that's in any way a coincidence.

I've said it before; perhaps Mr Obama was TOO successful at staving off the economic catastrophe in progress at the end of the Bush 43 administration; since we didn't go all the way to the bottom, it left room for the Breitbarts of the world to deny that it was their fondly held notions that led to the disaster, and even to convince a lot of voters to keep said policies in place to this day.

The collapse was caused by the subprime loan debacle. What cause that debacle? The Community Reinvestment Act

Lack of consequences. That's the problem with hot button issues like politics and police. Once consequences are applied, they will no longer be hot button.
