Well duh. It's a 6 week incubation period so it'll be 2 months to flatten the curve :pimp:

In 2006, student loan interest rates were around 6%-9%. With a $20,000 loan, minimum payments would be around $166.

$30,000/15/12=$166.67. Looks like she was paying the minimum :dunno:

That imbalance is expected to worsen in the years ahead, with the US firmly on track to break the all-time record of a 106% debt-to-GDP ratio set in 1946 after World War II.
So we've come back from this before at least?

Yes, but these were the tax brackets in 1946 - 1950 (based on 1950 dollars to 2026 dollars)
0 - $26k - 20%
$26k - $52k - 22%
$52k - $78k - 26%
$78k - $104k - 30%
$104k - $130k - 34%
$130k - $156k - 38%
$156k - $182k - 43%
$182k - $208k - 47%
$208k - $234k - 50%
$234k - $260k - 53%
$260k - $286k - 56%
$286k - $338k - 59%
$338k - $416k - 62%
$416k - $494k - 65%
$494k - $572k - 69%
$572k - $650k - 72%
$650k - $780k - 75%
$780k - $910k - 78%
$910k - $1.04M - 81%
$1.04M - $1.17M - 84%
$1.17M - $1.3M - 87%
$1.3M - $1.95M - 89%
$1.95M - $2.6M - 90%
$2.6M+ - 91%

$100k in 2026 dollars paid in 1950 would have paid roughly $26-$28k vs $17-$20k today.

t was hands down the entry of the United States and the USSR that sealed Germany's fate

Agreed and both (somewhat) self inflicted by Germany as Germany attacked the USSR to get them into the war and Japan attacked the US

I will never understand people who are passionate about the DST debate in either direction.

It's just not a big deal.

---

It actually is, at least as it pertains to switching the clocks. There is a 5-10% documented increase in car wrecks the first week after we "Spring Forward". There are increases in workplace injuries and heart attacks as well. Economically there is lower productivity the week after the switch (estimated at roughly $1B GDP loss).

All that to say, it could be avoided if we just stopped changing the clocks.

I haven't bought one for any of my cars in 10 years. No one is stopping me for a fricking inspection sticker unless your driving around in a beat up car & look suspicious

---

I actually got a ticket for this one time in a late model year used truck that was not beat up and not doing anything suspicious. The cop literally was going around me on the highway and noticed I didn't have a sticker, slowed down to see if I had a LA plate and then pulled me over. :banghead: :banghead:

Where is the left crying out against this?
Where are the marches?
Where are the speeches?

I haven't heard the right doing any of these things either so I guess both sides support it by this logic?

That's what they are fricking doing.

If the media wasn't so fricking crooked and they actually published and broadcast the records of the illegals being picked up people would know this.

You don't hate the media enough.

Do you have a source for this because it sounds like your source is about as good as his source (ie gut check)
