If Biden comes off as in total control of his mental faculties tonight?
He refuses to debate Trump, and may well win.

If he babbles and completely fuqs up this SOTU?
He opens the door for Trump.

A LOT riding on this SOTU.

The rich are getting a hell of a deal now compared to the mid 20th century.

From Following World War II tax increases, top marginal individual tax rates stayed near or above 90%, and the effective tax rate at 70% for the highest incomes (few paid the top rate), until 1964 when the top marginal tax rate was lowered to 70%. Kennedy explicitly called for a top rate of 65 percent, but added that it should be set at 70 percent if certain deductions were not phased out at the top of the income scale.[29][30][31] The top marginal tax rate was lowered to 50% in 1982 and eventually to 28% in 1988. It slowly increased to 39.6% in 2000, then was reduced to 35% for the period 2003 through 2012.[28] Corporate tax rates were lowered from 48% to 46% in 1981 (PL 97-34), then to 34% in 1986 (PL 99-514), and increased to 35% in 1993, subsequently lowered to 21% in 2018.

It is what it is

I'm hoping for a good growing season. Our goal is to grow enough vegetables to last us an entire year and still be able to give some away to people that live around here.

We came close last yr. We're still eating canned pickles, green beans, tomato sauce and assorted peppers from last years garden. Got to grow more corn and potatoes this year.

Turn your pitchforks into plowshares and work on producing some of your own food.

Abortion is just a lightning rod for ignorance. The entire thing should never have been made to be funded by taxpayers. EVER. It's now where it resides, back to a State's right.

Immigration, Inflation and the Economy...those are where the race gets buttoned down. These effect EVERYONE. You can't escape it.

I'd add the MIC and their global "Gotta have a war" party and funding the insanity that is Ukraine. It's a slush fund. Can't see it? Look harder. Been that way for decades and it was the Mavricky John McCain that pointed out to me that the neo-Nazi movement was alive and well there. If their own neighbors don't contribute...why should the American taxpayer? They're not even in NATO either!

I don't see anything the Democrats can run on that make them viable. Oh, there's plenty that will gaslight you, but seriously look at the issues, the facts and the history of what they're doing and it's just flat out wrong.

Paid abortions is a money saver. Due to a lack of price transparency in healthcare, I don’t know the financial cost of an abortion. To pick a number out of the sky, I’ll say $10,000. That is a lot cheaper than a full term pregnancy and the first six months the baby is alive if it is being paid for by the taxpayers.

What I wonder about is …. Exactly how many abortions do women have? Is it their primary form on contraception?

Not looking at it as a cost savings. Never did either. I don't choose whom people decide to sleep with. They get to do that. That's all on them. The repercussions of their own actions should NEVER be put into the pockets of a taxpayer. Can't afford to have babies? Look into sterilization. There's your cost savings! I'm radical enough to say if you've had more than 2 abortions perhaps you should be sterilized. All you want to do is **** and have someone else pickup your genetic mess? Get in that line over there. You genealogy branch ends there.

With so many contraceptives on the market today it's silly to even make the claim that an abortion is a viable alternative and taxpayers have to pay for it.

Sorry, but my stand by is this:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It doesn't state that our Creator wants us shackled by our government tied to Death, Slavery and the pursuit of Misery! Then again, this nation was predicated on a Judeo/Christian mindset. A value system that we as a nation enjoyed as a basic platform to approach each other. Now, its become a gobbledygook of whatever twirls one's beeny and YOU have to be tolerant of their poor behavior no matter how low and deviant it is to you the individual. If we're going to lower everything to that common denominator then our entire government is in need of an overhaul and we need to scuttle the hull and let our "Grand Experiment" sink to the lower depths of History. Had a good run, sorry folks the "park"s closed!

I would much rather fight to defend what we have than fight to have my voice heard at the table when they're carving it all apart.

I would’ve guessed it would be 10x that amount as a family member had a recent trip to the ER for the flu and it ran $10,000. I thought for sure an actual procedure such as that would be much much higher, then I did a search and it doesn’t cost much at all. Makes little sense how healthcare costs are determined.

Updated on Sept. 22, 2023 with the most recent information and statistics.

An abortion generally costs less than $800, according to Planned Parenthood, and that has not changed a great deal in recent years. However, access to abortions was radically trimmed after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, which ended federal protections for the procedure and opened the door to state-level restrictions on abortions.
You can use Planned Parenthood’s state-by-state guide on abortion access to determine what health care is accessible in your area.
Residents of at least 25 states now have no or severely limited legal access to abortion services, as of August 2022. Those who choose to travel to another state for the medical procedure will have to take on additional costs, while medication abortion (which now accounts for more than half of all abortions) is likely to continue to grow as an option.
