you're fake. she was Terry Branstad's lt. gov. He was long-standing gov of IA before he became ambassador to China. We have heard nuffin about him in ages. Good gov. Des Moinians hated him.
Anon, I'm just attempting to learn this economic shit too. Very complex. I don't know about their keeping separate books. They just spend too much. Gummint works like individuals. Dems have to keep raising pensions and paying off contractors. They can't print money. So, in CA, they start fires or whatever to get fed emergency bailouts.
Now, POTUS wants them all to declare their state bankrupt, because they are. They don't want to do that because when you do that, that cancels all contracts - like with unions.
Bad for politics for dems.
It's more complicated than that. I keep reading numerous financial wizzies and watching utube videos. SOme of it is starting to make sense. But by all estimates, except Q+'s, we are in deep doodoo. Good luck.
Who needs memes when the comparison of pictures between Tulsa and chaz will tell it all.
Keep with the memes, though. We are so ahead.
talked about this earlier. it's not a mask, it's a muzzle.
Branstad has known Xi since the early 1980s. Good friends. And Iowa sends lots of ag to China. He was a perfect choice for ambassador. Very steady, quiet, extremely personable. I wrote him a litter once, and he called me at home! Very capable, but getting old.
Kim, I'm not so sure of. She just followed in Terry's footsteps. Iowa is conservative. Des Moines is total libtard moran. Couldn't be worse. And it's county seat - so all pols are dems. Very corrupt city, too.
We are very diverse. Most of felons are black, from what the article said that was posted. Serious gang and organized crime problems here, mostly coming from Chicago, St. Lou and KS City. Cops largely inept, imo. If the felons live in DSM, they'll vote dem. Outside, even in suburbs, they might be reached.
Think she's trying to please everyone and go with the flow. POTUS needs to get her in hand, I'd say.
