They sound like they should be switched.  And if disposable income equals income minus taxes, that's not a very good metric aone to compare different states.


It is because people spend their disposable income differently based on location regardless of the cost to survive.

Ummm, if they spend it differently based on location, that means it isn't an apples to apples comparison. So, not a good one.

It is apples to apples if you factor in the cost of survival.

Again, the only person that's lying is yourself.

The Senate very clearly "limited the contents of debate" when it underwent each of the outlined rule changes (and others), though that's obviously quite a stupid characterization of what happened. What do you think happened when the cloture vote is created in 1917? What do you think that means? What do you think happened when the threshold to invoke cloture was lowered, then lowered again, then lowered again, and then lowered again?

Why do you think that when it happened in 2013 that that one time somehow, inexplicably, something different magically occurred even though it had already happened several times prior and it was accomplished in the exact same fashion? You're struggling with the exact same problem that you were the last time you stupidly tried to discuss this when you demonstrated that you simply don't know what "cloture" means and how it works. Until you finally put your face in a book and actually educate yourself about this subject nothing's going to change.

Though it was clear long ago that you don't care about adhering to well-established historical fact. It's obvious why that is.


Show me my supposed lie, liar, because I just showed you in black and white where you're in the wrong.

@ bold: repeat a lie often enough, Joseph, and it eventually becomes the truth, eh? You certainly made the accusation, but that doesn't make for truth. Especially coming from a known liar.
