The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[Strat]

You guys seen these interviews that Roy Moores attorney has been giving? My goodness.

1) He calls Don Lemon easy peasy lemon squeezy
2) he just went on about Ali Veshi on MSNCB and his "background" to try and make sense of Moore dating a 14 year old
3) he legit looks inbred

[McParadigm]

[Strat]

On a side note your summary of the guy is spot on. My favorite thing is that his website boasts that he once won a pizza party.

Hey now, no need to smear truck drivers. I drive a truck and I'm a total bleeding heart.

Its rare in Colorado. That's all....

Everyone should drive a truck.

Amazing that the loss of qualified tuition reduction isn't getting more press. It will devastate PhD-level education in the US.

Students earning a typical stipend of roughly $35,000 could see their federal income taxes increase almost four-fold—from around $3,300 to $12,000 per year under the proposed plan.

How would that work? Tuition is $50k?

I can't interpret what your question is. Here have this: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-05925-6

I was asking for an example showing how a grad students federal income taxes would increase from $3k to $12k. Using the various “trump plan” calculators online it appears the students tuition would need to be around $50k/year along with that $35k stipend to generate that level of tax obligation. I’m not saying it’s not true, just saying it’s surprising.

Here's another summary of how it works, using an example just about a mile down the road from me.

Kelly Balmes is finishing up a master's degree — on her way to a Ph.D. — in atmosphere and sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Balmes, 24, is from Chicago, so her out-of-state tuition is $30,000 a year. It's paid for through grants; money she never sees.

The university pays her a yearly stipend of about $30,000 in exchange for her work in research and as a teaching assistant. That's considered minimum wage in Seattle — about $15 an hour.

In 2016, she paid income taxes on her teaching stipend and ended up owing the government $2,334.

If the tax bill passes, the grant that covers tuition will be viewed as additional income. If the numbers remain the same, Balmes' total income before deductions becomes $61,398 — nearly double what she filed last year.

She would owe $7,488, about $5,000 more.

So, how quickly do you think Eric & Don Jr. are planning an elephant hunting trip?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his top advisers are discussing the legal feasibility of asking appointed Sen. Luther Strange to resign from his seat in order to trigger a new special election.
