@Toyota, we bought a Sienna in May (after waiting 11 months). We were given one fob and a key without a fob. We were told a fob would arrive in a month or two. It has been 6 months and no gob or news.

BREAKING: Biden says that talks with Congress on raising the U.S. government's debt limit are moving along:

"I think they are moving along, hard to tell. We have not reached the crunch point yet," Biden told reporters.

It's clear that the US Government has a debt problem. The nation's debt to bondholders represents $93,000 for every man, woman and child.

Clearly the solution is not to simply cut spending, or simply raise taxes. It should be a compromise between both. We are obviously overspending, but corporate taxes as well as taxes on the wealthy are at some of their lowest levels in history.

- Today's highest personal tax bracket is 37%. Between 1944-1963 the top bracket ranged between 90-92%

- Today's Corporate tax rate is 21%. Corporate tax rates in the 50's, 60's and 70's were at 37-52%.

I understand being anti-tax, but it's impossible to focus on the debt problem without looking at the historical tax rates.

What are your thoughts? What is the solution?

Our CEO Rabbi Jacob Blumenthal represented the Masorti-Conservative Movement at a roundtable last week at the White House on the fight against antisemitism and hate. We are heartened to see this announcement from the White House this week. @DouglasEmhoff @WhiteHouse

NEW: data confirms 18-29-year-olds voted for Democrats more than *any other* age group yesterday. Young people literally prevented a Red Wave & saved Democrats. Full stop.

If you know a young voter, please thank them.

BREAKING: In light of dismal poll numbers, Mitch McConnell said he did not think Republicans would likely take the Senate in November.

Mitch knows it’s over and I love it.
