I got this e-mail from Kevin Kiley on July 13 taking credit for the Bosch investment in Roseville. Turns out it was funding from the CHIPS act passed under Joe Biden before Kiley could even vote on it. What a fraud. He is taking credit for every bit of progress. #DrPanForCongress

we have to pay 10x that for a private insurance plan through the ACA. Just give us all the choice NOW. ACA, Medicare or private insurance if employed. Nothing mandatory. Just choices. Don't end the shutdown until we get that.

With all the "Big Bill" nonsense going on, has anyone wondered what they would actually be paying in federal taxes compared to what they pay today, if the 2017 tax changes had not happened? It's a bit of a math exercise to say the least but it turns out that, for many cases, NOT MUCH DIFFERENT!!

I did 13 different middle class scenarios most of which yielded less tax paid if the 2017 changes had NOT happened. A surprising result perhaps but numbers don't lie. I will supply all the tax returns, assumptions, methodology and spreadsheets for any of you who want to dive in further.

You are up to date.
