    Civil Rights Abortion Debate - Role of Government

    Yes, but We-The-People DO say that killing a living fetus after 58 weeks of gestation IS IMMORAL. Do you understand why this is a proper function of a representative form of government? And yes, 'We might' say this or that is immoral, but logically 'We might not'. That is the price we all pay...

    Civil Rights Abortion Debate - Role of Government

    Not sure if I understand your argument that it is not relevant for a government to adopt rules concerning what is right or wrong behavior (aka, morality) if the government has a law that grants moral status to a fetus, which most governments do grant after 20 to 24 weeks of gestation. See one...

    Law Discuss the Impact of DOGE

    The above two comments miss the point of my post. I am NOT referring to DOGE mass layoffs, forcing early retirement, folks being terminated early, etc. They are all repugnant DOGE actions. My post is about the claim of DOGE that they are saving money by asking Federal employees over 65...

    <This thread appears to be drifting away from the DOGE focus.> I would like to open for discussion the impact of DOGE actions concerning paying Federal employees to retire, not 'forcing' them to retire early, but to offer them a great retirement deal...get those old folks packing. It is my...

    Law Discuss the Impact of DOGE

    To all concerned about 'wasteful' spending. Please read the link in my Post #11, in particular the graph showing 'wasteful' spending by Federal governments under both political parties the past 10 years. No one disagrees that large government organizations spend money in ways that could be...

    Law Discuss the Impact of DOGE

    Reply from someone that understands the research being conducted: Dr. Paul Locke, a professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said at the hearing: "Scientific progress has given us better tools for toxicology and biomedical research, making animal testing increasingly...

    Law Discuss the Impact of DOGE

    DOGE projected to reduce Federal IRS income by 500 billion by April 15th. Not my words, but an internet summary of a Washington Post article I have edited. In the last 10 years, annual government waste has never exceeded the Federal income DOGE will eliminate in four months. The...

    Economy Can state taxes make up for lost Federal funding?

    My question is...can the Constitutional power granted to the 50 States help maintain the 'States Rights' of citizens and essential Government programs? Thus, for example, for every Federal tax cut to the rich (yes, it needs to be defined), the 'States-of-the-Willing' (we call them blue) will...

    Law Discuss the Impact of DOGE

    There is not a single DOGE report, reviewed by OMB, to indicate DOGE has saved $1. If I error, please post the link to the GAO or OMB document. Added today: As an example of the 'facts' concerning DOGE I am looking for, here is a link to a GAO report during the Biden four years (and prior) of...
