“In tandem with lowering taxes is to cut any wasteful and unnecessary spending”

Too subjective, don’t you think? And they have been talking about doing this for decades.

Enforce Article 1 Section 8. No federal department of education, labor, etc. Phase out social security and Medicare etc. Keep promises to current retirees, but starting now, anyone under 50 gets private insurance and retirement acct.

Problem is, this will never happen until we stop having our children (future voters) enrolled in government schools.

... provide members of underserved communities with valuable skills...

And then what magic will occur to make these new 'valuable skills' possessors to actually DO any work; considering how much money they NOW get by NOT working?

The left has gone from taxation to outright extortion now.

[[[Instead, PCEF projects can focus more on less easily measured health and climate benefits.]]]

Translation- We can rob the hell out of it with no accountability.

Portland is where you move when you discover Berkeley is too conservative.

Thinking the same thing— what a mean looking chickie pooh. That face will age, because of the stress lines of maintaining this “look” as opposed to smiling. It takes fewer muscles in the face to smile and maintain a pleasant demeanor. More muscles involved in maintain the tension on the face.

Aging into, in a very short 10-15 years a “Helen Thomas” permanently grim face set. Right now she thinks she has a set of testicles, and is a man hater.
