Hell no Im going with the opposite. I love me some cold snowy weather. Buy some property there early on when its cheap, then give it a few years to start to get modernized and that place will be amazing to live (if you love the cold weather like I do).

Dr. Rand Paul Fights Against the Big-Spending Status Quo
According to the latest Monthly Treasury Statement from the U.S. Treasury (which you can find HERE), the federal government spent over $3.7 trillion during the first 10 months of Fiscal Year 2019 alone - and is already running a budget deficit over $866 billion! (You can read a news report on this spending, which notes its record level, HERE.)
Federal spending is simply out of control!
In case you missed it, I called out Congress earlier this month for making such recklessness even worse with its recent so-called "budget" deal, which completely suspended the debt ceiling - allowing for unlimited borrowing - for two years and authorized spending over $300 billion during that time above the limits Congress agreed to in 2011's Budget Control Act.
I especially noted the hypocrisy of Republicans who condemned President Obama's spending but were now lining up at the trough to pile more debt on the American people's backs. (You can find this speech on the Senate floor HERE.)
Shortly before the Senate voted on that deal, I made sure it went on the record on true fiscal conservatism with a vote on my Cut, Cap, and Balance amendment.
My amendment would have cut spending in keeping with my Penny Plan balanced budget, which would balance the federal budget in fewer than five years by trimming just 2% each year from every on-budget dollar the government spent in FY 2019, with 2% growth afterward.
It would have also instituted new spending caps and authorized raising the debt ceiling only after Congress sent a balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification.
Although the Senate voted down my amendment on the way to passing its bipartisan spending spree, I will continue to fight back against the big-spending status quo and offer concrete, conservative plans to restore fiscal sanity.
I promised Kentuckians I would stand for change, and I have worked hard to keep that commitment no matter the odds. With so much at stake, it's more critical than ever that those of us who believe in common-sense budgeting speak out!

"If black families were as rich as white ones, U.S. economy would be $1.5 trillion bigger"
Well I'm white and wish I was 1/10th as rich as my Black boss and his family.
Especially when Climate change turns it into a seasonal paradise.
There is no American flag in that picture.
Your last paragraph is utter BS. US military budget is more than the next 7 countries combined. We spend about 15% of our budget on military. To say he left us vulnerable to attack is laughable

Looking for a flag. I can't even find one on the candidates lapel. Help me out here. You do know what a flag is or do you.
Your anti-America party showing it's true colors. Your party has no shame. Pasting red, white and blue and a bunch of stars on a wall is not a United States flag. What a pathetic bunch of socialist pigs.
sit down bitch

Not a single flag at any of the GoP debates. Commie bastards

I see some stars, I see some red and blue. a splash of white. I see stripes, but only 7, not the 13 our Flag has. None of that background equates to a flag being present.
Were you outraged in 2016 when at some of the Republican debates they had stages set up in a very similar manner without a physical flag? I highly doubt it
Arent you mad about the betsy Ross flag or something these days? Just wait until you see pics of Obama's inauguration.Were you outraged in 2016 when at some of the Republican debates they had stages set up in a very similar manner without a physical flag? I highly doubt it
That's one of favs, is watching all the dems shit on Obama now in debates after years of blindly agreeing. Their voters must be confused.
Y’all are out here talking about a damn flag. LMAO!!!!
I didn’t inherit one in my new classroom and I didn’t go around asking for one either. IDGAF if students stand, sit, or lie down during the pledge of allegiance. We’re there to learn, not “pledge allegiance to the flag” and blurt out some weird shit about being “under God.” GTFOH with all that. “Liberty and justice for all” might be the most hollow part of that whole thing though. What a joke.
This is all coming from a libertarian, so take my words with a grain of salt.
Happy Friday, my bros!!

Hilarious how far off shore they'll ho to defend her. Even of your thoughts are that the president shouldnt gell ppl to go to other countries, she ended up getting exposed. She wanted to spread her hatred which was funded by a Palestinian group, then was allowed to still come, then claimed victimhood. Hey, it's not the first time a Palestinian has used a grandma as a shield I suppose.
"But I need to see my 90 year old granny she wont be around much longer!" "Oh nvmnd f@ck her, Israel is mean"
Wonder why we havent read about it...

False.Obama entered office at the beginning of the most severe recession since the Great Depression. Unemployment was at 10% yet the right blamed him for the economy. Obama ran a $1T+ deficit, the largest being the first year and a budget passed and signed before he took office. But the deficits were in part to help stimulate the economy and prevent massive losses that were certain if the banking industry was allowed to fail. He also cut the deficit from $1.4T down to $500B, unemployment to 4.6%...took the Dow from 7,000 to 20,000…Oil prices from $130/bbl to $36/bbl
Do I hear credit coming from your side?
Even at slightly higher interest rates, the current fed interest rates today are still ridiculously low (see chart below). They hovered between 5% and 6% all of Bill Clinton’s term…between 1977 and 1990 they were never below 6% and as high as 19%. I can see every POTUS from the last 100 years rolling their eyes to anyone whining about 2.25% fed rates.
And to correct you… the Fed dropped the rate to 0.25% in Dec 2008 and started raising them in 2015 and were at .75% when he left office. Today they sit at 2.25%. So the rise in rates began during Obama, not Trump.
How many jobs has Trump bought with his extra deficit spending? Were he more fiscally responsible his jobs numbers wouldn’t be as impressive. I don't hear the right talking about that...
Gold. Absolute gold.
Do you ever ruminate on the actual fact that the original Punisher, James Lee does not give a shit about anything you say?
The fact that you ask that question answers how much you know about Keystone.
That’s not the pipeline the poster was referring to.
