    The 47%

    A general awareness of our government, and/or thirty seconds of Google, could save you and the OP from looking like a morons next time. The $4 trillion 2017 budget the OP mentions includes social security and medicare payments, around 40% of the outlay. The $3.3 trillion 2017 revenue includes...

    Corporate Tax Cut - the numbers don't add up

    You need to delete your post and start over. Here is a hint, corporations aren't taxed on revenue, they are taxed on profits. Assuming no deduction eliminations (which I don't think is a valid assumption) the economy would need to grow a hell of a lot more than 7.3%. More substantially than...

    Study shows spanking is a VERY ineffective way to get children to follow parents' wishes

    I have avoided this thread, but now think it's worth at least sharing the attachment parenting perspective that my wife and I have used. As an example of an alternative approach to spanking, I'll talk about when my daughter was born and my near 3-year son old pinched her and hit her at the...

    How a family spends away $500K per year

    To reach the 40% they must be including FICA as well, although FICA applies to 401k contributions, and they have no mention of medical plan contributions so the table is kind of screwed up. Living in NYC they are guaranteed to be AMT (mortgage Interest, state tax, property tax, city tax >>>...

    Energy pick is Trump's administration personified!

    So your proposal to improve the DOE's management of our nuclear arsenal, Manhattan Sites, and cutting edge laboratories is to have the agency that brought us the TSA manage it? I hold out hope that Trump proves smarter than his supporters, albeit not the toughest of standards.

    Energy pick is Trump's administration personified!

    Are you aware that the majority (over 50%) of the DOE budget is related to maintaining our nuclear arsenal and processing legacy waste from the Manhattan Project era? Beyond that majority of spending, the next highest allocation is for all the laboratories performing cutting edge research in a...

    Budgeting for Home and Life Changes

    +1 for the vote to stay as long as possible in your place. Having a toddler in a 1000ft^2 condo was easy for us, three other families in our building had 2 kids in ~1300ft^2 condos (2 bedrooms). Now that we are in a big home we have far more useless junk than I ever dreamed of. We made the...

    Issues with slow download speeds

    Yeappp, dumb post by me, I knew that once upon a time but hardly ever download big files and I just forgot. Thanks for smacking some reason into me. I will say I had the Verizon tech sharing my screen while I was downloading stuff and he was watching the 7.3 Megabyte per second speed and was...

    Issues with slow download speeds

    Well I got rid of the 8-way splitter and put in a 2-way splitter. My download with Steam is still exactly 7.3MBPS, it never varies. When I am performing the Verizon speedtest without steam I get 64MBPS, as soon as I turn on steam download for 7.3MBPS the Verizon speedtest plummits to 4 MBPS...

    Issues with slow download speeds

    I am having issues that seem to be Verizon throttling to me, but I just want to check to see if it is a wiring issue or something else I can fix. I have 50/50 FIOS internet, speedtest.verizon.net shows 60MBPS when I'm not doing anything. I have a few examples where I download something while...

    Extra Long DP Connector (not cable)?

    Well, I took my hacksaw to the plastic and underneath it is also a raised metallic portion that still is somewhat blocking the connection. However, I can establish a connection now! Even though the DP is not fully locked in the slot (I can pull it out easily without pressing the release)...

    Extra Long DP Connector (not cable)?

    My board only has a single PCIE-16, otherwise the lower slots would work perfectly. The clearance issue is such that I can't just tilt my card lower without impacting the PCIE connection. I did actually take some pliers to the ridge but it's pretty robust and I just ended up scrapping the...

    Extra Long DP Connector (not cable)?

    So I'm pretty annoyed at my case (Coolmaster NSE-200-KKN1 R) at the moment because I can't fit the display port connector into my graphics card (HDMI and DVI both work). This case has a little ridge flush with the top of the opening slot that is interfering with plugging into the top GTX 1070...

    BLM Dallas protest rally shooting

    Are you that worried about paying off your house before retirement?

    Because it's tax deductible paying off 3% mortgage is "relatively" equivalent to getting 3% return in the market. If the interest was not tax deductible (i.e. car loan/student for higher incomes) then paying off 3% is equivalent to getting 4.5% return in the market, assuming a 50% all-in tax...

    I need a snowblower

    721 power clear, I was pleasantly surprised. It even chewed through the street plow banks if a bit slowly. Again, for my area 26" is a once in a decade kind of thing. If I lived further North a quality 2-stage would make sense.

    I need a snowblower

    I live in NJ and just got 26" inches of snow with a driveway about three times the size of the OP. I went out in the middle of the storm with my brand new single stage Toro and again at the end. The thing was a beast and chewed fairly steadily through ~15" the first time, the ~11" was a joke...

    In Louisana The Government Teaches Your Kid Religion

    tl;dr it's hard to comprehend billions of years' worth of evolution. Also there is a lot of misapplication of statistics going on here. Who knows how many trillions of other similar worlds the initial spark of self-replication never occurred, or if it occurred it may have followed a...

    A total noob to buying a first home! MEGA Questions:

    5-7 year arms lock in a rate for that time period, and a lot of these then have an incremental capped rate increase after that. You are right about teasers but those teasers last the full period of rate lock. I knew I was moving/selling in less than 7 years and got a 2.25% arm saving a...

    indiana oil refinery shuts down for maintenance, raising gas prices in midwest

    There is somewhat of a locational aspect to this, for instance the extremely high crack spreads are due to a glut of Canadian tar sands oil in the upper mid-west that are bottlenecked. The industry is quite complicated, you have some companies that both extract oil (upstream), and refine...

    indiana oil refinery shuts down for maintenance, raising gas prices in midwest

    Right about spring/fall, I misspoke about Winter. Regarding 6-9 months you are perhaps speaking from a contractor's perspective and/or finalizing the work scope. Owner planning begins 2-3 years in advance, procurement alone can easily consume 6-9 months on larger replacement items. I've...

    indiana oil refinery shuts down for maintenance, raising gas prices in midwest

    A couple points.... Refiners usually plan shutdowns for the winter due to lower crack spreads (lower profit) and avoid shutdowns in the summer like the plague. In-fact we have had a couple clients push back summer planned T/A's this year because some crack spreads are quite favorable right...

    Conservative's 'trickle down theory' is dead wrong according to study

    Do you find it interesting that the huge jump from 2012 to 2013 revenue coincided with the phase out of Bush tax breaks on income earners above $400,000 (returning to the previous 39.6% from the Bush 35%) and returning the cap gains tax to 20% from it's Bush low of 15%?

    Congress quietly ends federal government's ban on medical marijuana

    What's holding back the middle class? Look in your closet.

    Our public schools suck! Adults that cant do math...

    I think the biggest issue is the implied multiplication versus explicitly showing it. I imagine if an "x" was added to the left of the parenthesis far less people would fail at this problem.

    Senate passes Keystone XL pipeline bill despite Obama promise to veto

    This is foreign crude being brought in the country, it will not be restricted from being sold overseas. The most likely shift will be lower margins for US refiners located close to Canada whom are enjoying steep discounts due to the combination of US crude export ban plus Canada having a...

    Senate passes Keystone XL pipeline bill despite Obama promise to veto

    That's not really how it works. A private company is using eminent domain to build a private pipeline to ship private crude to a private holding facility in Texas that can sell the crude to whomever pays the most anywhere in the world. It's really not a win for the American people in terms of...

    CBO set to become massively less reliable.

    The way the proposed rules are written you can't use dynamic projection for infrastructure spending or stimulus spending. It basically written to only make large tax breaks appear better.
