This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's a fair question to ask whether Trump tax cuts or by G.K.Chesterton

Obama's healthcare plan were "vote-buying" and therefore this is no different. I never looked at either of those agendas like that for a number of reasons.

In this area, not only did the Supreme Court already rule that this was illegal, but this is a very targeted group of individuals influenced by a *very* sympathetic set of institutions (college professors are lean very heavily to the Democratic side). This pliant group is also very targeted by the "Get out the Vote" campaigns which ostensibly are non-political but in reality, are aimed at target-rich groups who will typically vote to one side.

The rule of law is one of the pillars of this country and this administration simply continues to thumb its nose at it in this area because it doesn't care if SCOTUS rules against it *after* the 2024 election.
