Very nice

We went back and watched Season 1. Very interesting to see how much the production had evolved.

Yeah you just don’t see Richard Hatches walking around the beach naked anymore like you used to :joy:

Get well soon Joe!

Maybe this gets me kicked out of the chamber but I watched the first 15 min of the very first survivor episode after the super bowl and I haven’t watched it since. Just not my jam. :person_shrugging:t3:

Did you guys talk about the CBO report on immigration today? Tuesdays are busy.

Quote: An increase in immigration over the 2021–2026 period boosts federal revenues as well as mandatory spending and interest on the debt in CBO’s baseline projections, lowering deficits, on net, by $0.9 trillion over the 2024–2034 period.

Interesting considering what conservative friends wanted the other day. Fix immigration, reduce debt.

Boost in Federal revenues means taking more money from you.

Or massive corporations and billionaires

I didn’t know MAGA did the Congressional Budget Office reports. Who knew.

I think it’s pretty straight forward though, more taxpayers equals more tax revenue and more economic growth. :woman_shrugging:

CBO has never been trustworthy no matter who is in charge. They have always been a political arm.

If all those migrants were paying taxes, that would kinda make sense. But many are not. They are drawing down benefits from programs, including social security.

I made my opinion clear that I fully support legal immigrants coming here to be self-sufficient (which means they are fully employed, actually pay taxes, and aren’t drawing down from social assistance programs).

Because the first one is bad. Second one was pretty good, start there

So how do we find out how much taxes an average immigrant pays? What is on an immigration application, are they required to have a skill? Like just normal immigrants, not political refugees.

Why are the children of Indian and Asian American ethnicities in the U.S. so smart, I wonder?
