The Steelers should tell Rodgers to stay home. Stsrt the season with Rudolph. In a couple months, transition to Allar or Howard. Whoever earns it at camp/practice. B/c you’re going nowhere significant w/Rodgers. Look at the big picture, at long last. Am I right?

Just 350 miles from Washington, D.C., McDowell County, WV, is among the poorest parts of this country and many homes lack drinkable water. This Sunday, 60 Minutes visits the birthplace of food stamps to learn about the impact of looming federal cuts. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW
Trump has taken the most powerful country in the world, with the greatest alliances, and the strongest economy, and flushed it down the toilet based on his understanding of politics in 1984 and trade deficits.
The greatest self shot to the nut sack in history
As you watch the theater in DC, keep in mind both sides have an incentive to lie about the CR.
Rs want their base to think it’s a strategic win.
Ds want their base to think it brings devastating cuts.
The reality: It extends Biden’s spending levels and priorities. Neither party benefits from this truth.
Today is the 32nd anniversary of the Blizzard of '93. The massive winter storm impacted a vast area of the eastern United States, resulting in heavy snow and high winds. For me, it's the greatest storm of my lifetime and it kept me on the path to pursue a career in meteorology.
With a budget resolution and reconciliation bill in the news, here’s a short guide to understanding the numbers coming from Congress and the White House:
A “$2 trillion cut” is not a cut from current fiscal year spending. In fact, it’s likely not a “cut” at all. It’s an unenforceable promise to reduce total expected spending by $2 trillion OVER TEN YEARS.
To put this in context, if the government had been expecting to spend $89 trillion over the next ten years, it would be PROMISING to spend $87 trillion instead, a difference so insignificant it wouldn’t come close to staving off a debt crisis.
Keep in mind that government officials today can’t bind government officials in the future. That’s why it’s just a promise.
But it’s even worse than that. As weak as the promise is—spending about 2% less over ten years—it’s nonetheless a promise few in government intend to keep. The same Congress and White House that brag about this illusory “cut” today will simply abandon the idea within a cycle or two.
And here’s another important thing to understand about the numbers: When Congress passes—and the president signs into law—a $2 trillion appropriations bill, the SPENDING DOES HAPPEN in the current fiscal year.
In other words, the $2 trillion of spending is a real thing that will happen this year, while the “$2 trillion cut” is just a promise, which, even if realized, would not on its own mean an actual cut in the size or scope of government, just a reduction in its expected growth.
I can't believe these were actual questions the Pirates asked their fans...
