All_Pro_Bills Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 12 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: Biden has realized that there's no unifying with the party of trump. He tried on the border issue. trump shut it down single handedly and cynically. The only option is to attack him and there are many points of weakness. He did well. He was clear and concise. The strategy is sound. There's no justification for giving Biden a victory lap for making an attempt to address a problem he created on day one of his administration. Motivated generally by his dreadful approval ratings on his handling of the issue. Rather than beat-on Congress, he can issue an executive order(s) consistent with how Trump handled and controlled the border during his term. What's Joe waiting for? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's he supposed to respond to that pig MTG? or the other Jan 6 players there? They are enemies of the people. Some voters will never realize that. They're a waste of time and effort. The best defense against them is a good offense. Re the border, Sen Lankford's head nod was affirming for Biden. In the senate, there are some reasonable R's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomly I walked by and heard Biden say something along the lines of we need to pay teachers more. I thought to myself "now that issue is beyond debate right? mutually agreement right?" NOPE our country is so divided. My chat buddy @leh-nerd skin-erd knows it gives me high anxiety. I love my country but the political climate REEKS of hate and I hate it. PEACE OUT BRETHREN CITIZENS Lord have Mercy I guess the follow up question would be, where? Teachers in NYS average 87k last I knew. A steady climb on that for the last 25 years, whilst student performance continues to decline. There’s more to that than teachers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Dems wanted to create a poster child to represent the crazy opposition they never would've come up with anything as perfect as MTG. 3 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: Sen Lankford's head nod was affirming for Biden That was just an own goal for the Republicans. The Democrats had nothing - nothing! - to fall back on when Republicans called Biden out for his epic immigration policy fail.

There’s more to that than teachers though. on a dollar to dollar comparison of what teachers can make vs what is available in the private sector (especially in fields of science and math as an example) the disparity is quite big. If you want to attract quality it seems logical you need to pay better. I'm not saying that there are those called aren't to be teachers. as a profession. I've had some Great ones. The main gripe I hear is the endless tedious paperwork necessary on top of all the lesson planning/ usual teacher duties the bolded absolutely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think his speech had nothing to do with making the country better, it was a great big political add. Nothing sells better to dem and undecided voters than "let somebody else pay for it". It was kind of funny how he was complaining about rich folks not paying their share of taxes when his son was indicted for not even paying his legally required amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played golf with a guy this week that started off a teacher. He was also a football coach. He had to work a night job to ,make ends meet. He just retired after selling his insurance brokerage that he quit teaching for after only 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYS is an outlier but it's the only one I know. Their (and their families') health insurance is paid for, pension, fee-free deferred comp, tenure, etc. are all worth something. But a bachelor's degree only gets you so far (they do need a master's in either education or, if they're a specialized instructor, their specialization) and the same argument is made on behalf of every public servant to justify increasing their pay. Including those in my field, though many of them couldn't find similar total compensation in the private sector as there aren't many analogues, so it tends to fall flat to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again everyone knows that Joke owns the border crisis for all his EOs to undo what Trump did and for denying there was a crisis for 3 years, until the polls started to turn against him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
