    Your AG Bob Ferguson just filed in the E WA District Court suing the Feds for limiting the CARE money to US citizens only.

    Because, while US citizens are suffering from unemployment rates reaching Depression levels and worrying whether they can pay their rent and buy food... the compassionate thing to do to subsidize illegals.

    Something ain't right about that, folks.

    If you can afford to blow a few hundred million on Nigerians overseas, what's an extra 100 to Mexicans in State?

    Bob is probably dumber than H which says a LOT

    A state income tax means an offshore account and some creative accounting for your truly. I flat out will not pay that.

    Detroit became Detroit because the entire auto industry and manufacturing jobs left the city.

    In 1960 Detroit had more millionaires than NYC.Then the socialist dems took over and for some unknown reason the car industry started moving out. Taxes, crime and riots aren't good for capital investment. True story.

    It's also because Detroit hasn't made many cars since the early 70's that anyone actually wants to drive.

    This was true about 15 years ago. Say hi to your Camry for me.

    Actually had a 2001 Chevy Suburban and it was a great car for my needs. At that time, not much domestic or foreign competition in that size. Today have a Ford Escape for the spousal unit and an Explorer for me. Been great vehicles. But back in the 70s and 80s tough to find an American car that wasn't a POS.

    American trucks and real SUV's with frames are the shit. Cars, not so much.
