Well, it definitely looks like "Easy Weeknight Dinners" is running away with it in the polls.
And I hear ya. What's not to love about a delicious, easy-to-prepare, home-cooked, nutritious meal after you get home from work?
I don't know about you, but our time after work and before dinner is pretty packed. After the commute home and picking up the girls, we have about an hour and 15 minutes to fit in making dinner, eating dinner, family time and clean-up all before bath time and then bed time for the girls. Few!
Sometimes, when I'm feeling lazy, I break down and buy pre-packaged meals or frozen foods that are easy to just heat up and serve. I mean, who doesn't like a tater tot every now and again?
While this isn't the end of the world, these types of foods tend not to be as healthy for you because of all the processing and unnecessary added ingredients.
The funny thing is that it really doesn't take that much time to prepare a great home-cooked weeknight meal within 30 minutes or less.
Plan your meals ahead of time. Before each week, decide what dinners you want to have for the upcoming week. Plan out the main part of the meal and the entree. For example, "Monday will be Panko-Crusted Sea Bass with Steamed Broccoli, Tuesday will be Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine Noodles," etc. The more you plan it out, the easier the grocery shopping experience and the less stressed you will be when it's time to get dinner ready. Have trouble remembering what you planned? Post it on the fridge — it'll be like a menu for your week! Plus, writing it down like a menu will hold you more accountable for actually making it when you get home.
Buy staples that will keep in your pantry or freezer. Make sure to keep some extra noodles, rice and other grains in your pantry just in case you want to throw something together or you need a side. Also, keep some frozen chicken breasts, ground beef and maybe even some frozen vegetables in the freezer to use on an as-needed basis if you don't have something ready in mind for dinner. This will help in the event that you didn't plan anything for that night and you really don't want to eat cereal again for dinner.
Plan meals that you will enjoy. No one wants to come home from work and make a meal that doesn't sound tasty. Try to make your meal plan exciting and new. Rotate in new easy recipes and some old favorites. Make every Tuesday a Taco Tuesday, for example. Keeping it interesting will help you mentally prepare to make the dinner and enjoy your evening.
Plan out each meal, if possible, to include Proteins, Vegetables and a Starch. While you may not get all three into every meal, making your weeknight dinners well-balanced will keep you healthy and satisfy your appetite. Try to do your grocery shopping on the weekend before the week gets too crazy. That way, everything you need will already be there for you when you get home.
Make ahead if you have time. It's a lot easier to prepare meatballs, lasagna or pizza dough on a lazy Sunday afternoon than on a busy, tired week night. Try to make some things ahead of time for your upcoming week so that you can simply heat up when you get home.
I hope these tips will help you with making your weeknights less stressful and more tasty. Making delicious, nutritious dinners after work takes *some* effort, but — like mostly anything — it will get easier the more you do it.
To get you started, this recipe for Chicken Florentine is a great weeknight dinner for you to try out this week. You can cook the chicken and noodles ahead of time if you'd like and just throw it all together when you're ready to prepare your meal. Either way, it's quick, it's nutritious and it's yummy.

Prepare noodles as directed on box. Once cooked, rinse and set aside.
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add the chicken to the hot oil. Cook until well-browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let cool. Once cooled, slice into bite-size chunks.
Add garlic and shallots to the chicken drippings in the skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add chicken and noodles to the skillet and stir to combine. Add sauce and parmesan and heat through. Season to taste. Turn off heat and add the spinach. Combine and stir until spinach begins to wilt.
Serve warm, garnished with grated parmesan if desired.
instead of shopping on the weekend when stores are more crowded i will sometimes shop very early (6:30 am) before the children are awake. don't worry, hubby is still at home with them. at that time there are usually stockers refilling the shelves for the day and they are very helpful if you need to find/reach something. it's very peaceful at that time of the day!
Thanks Lacey for a yummy looking pasta!

Savage Introduces 110 Tactical Line with AccuFit Stock
by SI Staff - Friday, June 15, 2018
Savage introduced the AccuFit stock at SHOT Show earlier this year, and the company shows no signs of slowing down with the rollout of this new system. The latest fit is in the 110 Tactical line, where the AccuFit system has been adapted for the 110 Tactical, 110 Tactical LH (left hand) and 110 Desert model of rifles. Whether you're going for bragging rights on the tightest group at 100 yards or ringing steel at 1,000 yards, the 110 Tactical line has the adjustability to fit you, chamberings to get the job done and an out-of-the-box trigger that's up to the task.
Available in three different chamberings (.308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor and 6 mm Creedmoor) and three barrel lengths (20, 24, and 26 inches), all models feature suppressor-ready, threaded heavy barrels, one-piece scope rails and 10-round, AICS-style detachable box magazines. The AccuFit system allows shooters to rapidly adjust comb height and length-of-pull, and the 110 Tactical models come with the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which can be adjusted from a 6-pound pull all the way down to a 1.5-pound pull.
The AccuFit system contains four separate spacers for length-of-pull, allowing users to perfectly match the rifle's length-of-pull to their body dimensions. Similarly, five different cheek pieces allow the stock comb to be increased in .125-inch increments for a custom-fit cheek weld. The spacers are lightweight so that even with all length-of-pull spacers and the tallest cheekpiece installed, the balance of the rifle is not significantly altered. It's a smooth and simple solution to custom-tailor a rifle to a shooter's precise dimensions.
Other features include a 20 MOA EGW rail, gray and flat dark earth synthetic stocks, soft grip fore-end and pistol grip surfaces and tactical, oversize bolt handles. Overall lengths vary from 43.25 to 46.5 inches, weights range from 8 pounds, 10 ounces to 8 pounds, 14 ounces and MSRPs are $769 for the 110 Tactical Desert model and $784 for the 110 Tactical and 110 Tactical LH models.

Entries open for Gran Fondo Alberto Contador
Registration is now open for the 9th edition of the Gran Fondo Alberto Contador. The sportive will take place on the 21st of September on the east coast of Spain in Oliva, with a choice of two traffic-free routes.
20% gradients may be 'nice' for El Pistolero but will be a challenge for most riders on the Gran Fondo Alberto Contador.
The addition of a second distance is new for 2019, and means riders can opt to ride either 167km (104 miles) or 115km (71 miles). The longer route features nine climbs with 3114 metres of elevation gain; with barely any flat stretches, its highest peak will be the Muro de Tollos, standing at an altitude of 863 metres.
"We have included all of the mountain passes where professional cyclists usually train in the Gran Fondo Alberto Contador. The particularly challenging ones are Coll de Rates and Mirador del Xap, which has considerable ramps, making it a nice way to end the 167 kilometres", says Contador.
The Coll de Rates also features in the shorter route that measures 115 kilometres and has 1667 metres of climbing. Mirador del Xap has average slopes of around 10% with ramps that reach inclinations of up to 18% and even 20%, both at the start and at the end of the climb - we suspect not everyone will agree with Contador's assessment of this as a "nice" finish!
Event HQ is at the Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort in beautiful Valencia.
Luckily the event HQ is well provided with amenities for recovery and relaxation: the start and finish for the sportive is at the Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort, which will be the focal point of the gran fondo. As the headquarters and official accommodation of the Gran Fondo Alberto Contador, the resort will host an event Expo area alongside full services for visiting cyclists: food, drink, massage, mechanics - you name it.
Arrivo Cycling, the event's official travel agency, are offering special packages including race entry, accommodation in the Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort Hotel with spa circuit included, a gran fondo commemorative jersey, and more.
It may be a long way off, but Contador is already advising participants to put in the miles as preparation. The Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España winner recommends that participants train for the race due to its "challenging nature" - but also looks forward to riders "enjoying this cycling celebration in a route that is completely closed-off to traffic, which is a true privilege."

Embracing The Fall With Twin Shadow
We Talk To George Lewis, Jr. About His Rejuvenating New Album
George Lewis, Jr., known as Twin Shadow, calls in from somewhere in Hollywood on his 35th birthday. He doesn't mention it until I do, chuckling gently in acknowledgment of the occasion. A psychic told him he's going to be massive, but there's nothing grand on the docket other than a few surprises from his girlfriend and a wish to take it easy. Approaching four years into his tenure, Los Angeles finally feels more home than retreat, but he maintains skepticism. "It's got everything you need to make it feel like home, but… the stereotype is very real," Lewis says. "You're always a little like 'Man, what is this fake-ass place?'"
GET THE RECORD
Caer
On Waitlist Waitlist Me
Lewis, born in the Dominican Republic with Florida roots, left his decade-long home in Brooklyn after his 2012 album Confess left him more vulnerable than ever. It's a collection of records with bravado by volume, where romantic tragedies and personal turmoil raged beneath the ego of a perfectionist pop star, withering away from the consequences of lust and loneliness while thriving in the spoils of his villainous turns. Once the bad boy amplified himself, the truth in his transgressions were drowned in the sound as the real world's misery continued to cave him in. Freshly into his 30s, Lewis moved to Downtown L.A. in 2014, working on his motorcycle in solitude, waiting for the shift. Upon leaving the indie label 4AD for Warner Bros., he released Eclipse in 2015 as a moment of rebirth and clarity, shedding his image and repairing the broken things to regain control of his life.
Caer is the Spanish verb for "to fall," and it's Twin Shadow at his most rejuvenated and authentic self. In its brighter moments, Lewis sounds content, even unabashedly happy, but his arrival came at the price of everything falling apart and surviving long enough to find what lies on the other side. While framed as a negative, even shameful aspect of the human condition, falling presents the opportunity to come undone and rise again. The listener bears witness to a physical and emotional rebirth, and newfound reflections on past perspectives. While Lewis lightly jabs at the "secret mechanic" side of his personality, the artwork rejects the overexposed normalcy of the human face to hide beneath a motorcycle helmet, head buried in his hands with a chain on his wrist and a scar on his left hand. The scar's a reminder of the reconstructive surgery from his team's near-fatal 2015 bus crash in Colorado; today, he views that moment as one of many pivotal signs to recalibrate his autopilot life and remain thankful for the folks around him. He still rides motorcycles, and teaches others sometimes; his philosophy on riding merges perfectly with how he falls.
"The deal is that… at some point, your coordination is not gonna match physics," Lewis says. "Physics is gonna take over and put you on the ground, no matter what. I don't care who you are, it's gonna happen to you. You have to let that happen to you, as scary as that is; you have to be be accepting that that's gonna happen. That way, when it does happen, you can either learn to say no, or you can learn how to do it better. But until you've literally fallen off a motorcycle and fucked yourself up real bad, you don't know shit about motorcycling. I don't know a single great motorcyclist who hasn't fallen badly off their bike. Pain is enlightenment, always. That's an age-old truth, no one needs me to tell them that."
Lewis created Caer over several locations in the last two years: Malibu, Venice, Big Bear, Echo Park, Hollywood, Frogtown, "the desert," and somewhere in Minnesota. He didn't confine himself to the cemetery chapel where Eclipse was labored over, but he maintained solitude while tapping into his spontaneity, pushing back against curating the "ideal situations" to create without distractions. Static creation's always been counterintuitive to his process, but Lewis's learned how to balance his default tendency for immediacy with the premium he places on craftsmanship. It's pop music that's less concerned with being the best or the most different, but the most honest. The stakes remain high in his songwriting, but the new Twin Shadow places a grand spotlight on simple circumstances. "Saturdays" finds Lewis and HAIM loading the weight of the world onto the moonlit dance floor, two lovers weighing the risk of falling for one another on purpose. "Brace" embodies this turn by articulating the protagonist's lingering anxieties of the inevitable over a melody bright as a summer sky, trading past fears for present excitement in falling wherever one may. Its chorus serves as a primer for the album's theme:
"Sometimes we brace /
And then fall /
Sometimes we don't feel right /
Sometimes we don't fall at all"
With Caer being the second Twin Shadow album with Warner, Lewis expresses optimism in a new day where the industry's adjusting to the ways people listen rather than clinging to dying models. As an album artist in an increasingly single-driven ecosystem, thriving on capturing and keeping attention, Lewis greets the microwave climate with a desire to match the rabid mob with music that's raw and timely. But whether Twin Shadow can disappear for another three years to live and work is anyone's guess by what next year's chaos may become; that said, Lewis remains concerned about how much we sacrifice beauty or freedom, maintaining that the former must be protected by time and craft.
"Nature has taken the time to craft all of its beautiful things, and it's taken millions of years for flowers and leaves and cactus and all this stuff to do what it does and stay here, and have this staying power," Lewis says. "We have to think of our art through the same way: there is an impulsiveness that we should adopt and use and spit out music and create content, create content, create content. We should have that energy, but we should also have the willingness to spend time and make something that feels like it's gonna last. We do live in a very temporary, throwaway society. We live in a very temporary, throwaway marketplace. We live in a very temporary, throwaway music business. And I think it's very important for artists to look at people that took a lot of time: when you listen to Sade records, you're like 'Damn, why are they so good?' They're so good because it took her ten years in-between each one. That's realness that you can't really dispute."
"In Caer's brighter moments, Lewis sounds content, even unabashedly happy, but his arrival came at the price of everything falling apart and surviving long enough to find what lies on the other side."
2018's ever-expansive demand for Black art - carnivorous or well-intentioned - remains codified and stratified by what kind of Black (they) think you are, down to body type, skin tone, origin, class, every intersection imaginable. It makes Lewis recall his Florida childhood, with a white father and a Dominican mother: one day, he came home from school and asked his mom whether he was Black or white. Her response: "What do they think?" Once Lewis described how he'd always been called a nigger, constantly fighting other kids who urged him to pick a side, she replied: "Then you're Black as fuck." Meanwhile, after a conscious rejection of indie rock ambitions in favor of pop, Lewis continues to field the obvious questions of how it feels being a Black man playing white music as if "white music" isn't all rooted and stolen from Black folks as is. In reality, Twin Shadow's as much influenced by Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen as Otis Redding and Nat King Cole, and Lewis sees heroes in folks like Kanye West and Chance the Rapper more than most white artists out right now.
"I never filed [my music] under 'classic singer-songwriter white boy music' because it never came from that place, it always came from me," Lewis says. "So, it's interesting to be in 2018 and to really still have people having an identity crisis with me. But at the same time, I look at an artist like Prince and I'm like 'You know what? The goal always is to just be defined by yourself.' If you ask people what Prince was, they're not gonna be able to put him in a box; they're just gonna talk about him as he was. And that's where I'm at with it; I think it's hilarious that we still love our categories; what's interesting is, the music lovers are the ones who embrace the categories."
The new Twin Shadow concerns himself with speaking from the heart before anything else; an important theme of Caer involves Lewis balancing his internal and external dialogue, digging through the wreckage and remnants of memory for the grace and maturity he longs for. The machismo exterior disappears, and the cold directness of prior works repurposes itself for remorse and reckoning, never sparing the man Twin Shadow used to be. Standouts like "Little Woman" and "Littlest Things" pose questions and answers to former lovers, owning past anger and wrongdoing with a sincerity that neither condescends to the women he addresses nor leaves his intentions out to dry behind the wall of his manhood. Our patriarchal society, and the privileges men have in perpetuating the violence necessary to maintain it, are called forward. Lewis is trying to find how to make room for genuine changes within himself and where he stands in the music community without reveling in symbolic victories that won't undo what harms us all.
"In the relationship I was in at the time of the accident, I was with someone who was very perceptive and had a lot of healing qualities I took for granted because of my male ego," Lewis recalls. "It took me too long to realize how helpful she was being. So, a lot of these songs are about that: the male ego, and how it's run its course in history; it's put us exactly where we are right now, on this weird downward spiral. It's not time for us to bow out, but it's time for us to reevaluate how we behave, what we're worth, and what we can do to help the less-privileged step up and take their power."
The questions remain far more intriguing, but Caer has no shortage of resolutions: while Lewis once rejected most desires to make more politically-explicit Twin Shadow music - though he'd like to participate in how he's most useful - he's made the most politically-explicit music of his career by sharpening his personal lens to the finest point. "Too Many Colors" attempts to reconcile his role in the beautiful and miserable existence he built, and by album closer "Runaway," he's made peace with another simple truth: "Nothing's gonna change unless you change." He lays himself bare, detailing repaired relationships with his parents while vowing to rid himself of what no longer serves him. Then, he's right back outside the window to sing his lover a song again. But to know this album is to know that another fall's inevitable, though the George Lewis, Jr. reemerging to the spotlight is far better equipped to handle that expectation and chronicle the other side of the moment with an arresting honesty that's devoted to positivity. He will fail as he figures it all out; if this world's worth anything, we'll do the same.
"I've realized that human beings experience a lot of the same things at the same time because we're affected by the world in the same way," Lewis says. "There are waves that come and hit all of us, but it affects everyone. So I don't have to sit there and think about how I'm gonna talk about my generation, or talk to my peers, or talk to people older [or] younger than me… I know now that giving an honest report of how I'm feeling is going to be universal in some way, shape or form. I don't have to think about 'Am I on topic? Am I covering the current issues?' Anyone expressing themselves right now is going to touch on all of these things regardless of whether they're hitting it on the nose or not."

Although real wood is typically the decision for a classic look, if you prefer your roof trim to last for years then UPVC is the best choice because it is not going to require the same amount of upkeep.

This is actually only really suitable if all the timber elements are currently in excellent condition and are able to be kept.

Since 2013, the Association Salsabil has been actively involved in the fight against the humanitarian crisis in the African continent. Due to hunger, thirst and lack of proper medical care, the AU has deployed its activities in such countries of Africa as Somalia, Niger, Benin and Togo. Our association implements all the most important humanitarian projects aimed at ensuring all necessary conditions for life.
Thanks to your donations, the Salsabil Association has implemented such projects as food programs, construction of wells, mosques and classrooms, care for orphans, annual sacrifice action, etc.
The permanent humanitarian presence of the AU in Africa is due primarily to the vastness and inaccessibility of the continent, which prevents international non-governmental organizations from providing of humanitarian assistance to all those in need.
In addition, there is also an increased mortality rate among women in labor, infants and young children. This problem requires more attention and resources to provide them with all the necessary assistance.

A: If you want all text nodes from 'main' div excluding text nodes from 'column-items' div, try:

A: The question title asks for all the elements and text excluding one, which you go on to say that the first element should be excluded.  If you actually only want text nodes that meet that criteria, see @JaSON's answer.
If you do indeed want all the elements too, use this XPath:
//div[@class='main']/node()[not(self::div[1])]

based on position, or this XPath,
//div[@class='main']/node()[not(self::div[@class="column-items"])]

based upon attribute value.

Each year, more than 600,000 people are released from prison. The obstacles to successful reentry are daunting, starting with the challenge of finding stable work. Indeed, a large proportion of released inmates return to prison within a relatively short time. In recognition of the enormous human and financial toll of recidivism, there is new interest among researchers, community advocates, and public officials in prisoner reentry initiatives, particularly those focused on employment.
In May 2006, the National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan hosted a meeting — "Research on Prisoner Reentry: What Do We Know and What Do We Want to Know?" — to discuss the state of research on employment-focused prisoner reentry programs. This paper, written as background for the meeting, reviews previous research, describes some planned or ongoing evaluations, and proposes some ideas for future research.
There have been few rigorous studies of employment-focused reentry models, and there is a pressing need for more definitive evidence of what works. A meta-analysis of eight random assignment design studies of postrelease community-based programs found that they did not reduce recidivism. There are only a few experimental studies on the effects of in-prison services, and it is hard to draw lessons from the nonexperimental research. Many experts believe that the most promising reentry models provide coordinated services both before and after inmates are released. There have been a few studies of such models to date, including two that used random assignment; the results were only somewhat positive.
It is clearly difficult to increase employment and earnings for disadvantaged men. Yet the results described above do not support the view that "nothing works." Some programs seem to be modestly successful: those for older ex-prisoners, integrated services both before and after release, and perhaps models using financial incentives. Further attention to design and evaluation of prisoner reentry programs may produce useful results, as most of the studies are quite old, and both the economic and criminal justice contexts have changed dramatically in recent years.
Some large-scale studies now under way will dramatically expand the knowledge base, but some important gaps will remain. Approaches that might be tested in the future include: earnings supplements and work incentives; employer-focused strategies, such as the federal bonding program and supported placements to give employers incentives to hire ex-prisoners; in-prison vocational training; performance goals for parole officers that emphasize parolees' employment; and programs that address motivational issues, such as faith-based initiatives, therapeutic models, and those that engage ex-prisoners' families.


Plane Autolanding On Baranow Issue - Welcome to the Iron Front Fan Forums!
This bug noticed by BS and I can confirm it.
Place a plane (which one ever) with the ini line: this landAt 0; and see what will happen.
The plane will crash at position [6570.83,6845.77,0], that's near the airfield, near ID 167482. It will fly against a big tree there.
We can ix this ourselves when we have the project ready, but keep it in mind and I will add it to the unofficial IF patch for IF.


This includes all custody, admin, trading and portfolio fees.
* The total cost of the ETFs used will depend on the particular composition of your portfolio, but currently average 0.21% pa. This cost is included in the fund's performance by the ETF provider and is known as the Total Expense Ratio.
** The total cost of the ETFs and active funds used will depend on the particular composition of your portfolio, but in calculating the average for a Smart or Select portfolio, we have assumed a 50/50 blend between monies allocated to ETF and actively managed funds. This cost is included in the fund's performance by the ETF/active fund provider and is known as the Total Expense Ratio.
Why do Smart and Select Portfolios cost a little more than Core Portfolios?
Core portfolios make use of ETF funds that track the performance of the global market indices, like the FTSE in the UK and the Dow Jones in the United States.
On the other hand, Smart and Select Portfolios make use of actively managed funds that aim to outperform the markets by buying and selling at the right time.
These active funds rely on the skills of their fund manager and are therefore carefully selected and continually benchmarked against their peers by the Tiller Team.
This process takes more time than selecting funds for our Core portfolio and is why Smart and Select Portfolios are slightly more expensive.
How do Tiller's fees compare?
The average fee for a selection of top UK wealth managers is 1.37% pa of the total value of the client's portfolio and many also charge an entry fee of 2.5% of the total money invested.
At Tiller we do not charge an entry fee and our ongoing management fees are considerably less than the average UK wealth manager.
If you choose a Core portfolio (which is made up of ETF funds) we charge 0.75% pa.
Whether you choose Tiller (or any another wealth manager) the funds that are placed in your portfolio will also charge you a fee. This fee is factored into the daily price of your fund.
The average industry ETF fund charges 0.21% pa* (Source: Morningstar as at 17th October 2018).
The average Tiller ETF fund charge is 0.21% pa and the average Tiller actively managed fund charge 0.89% pa.
Tiller Management Fees are charged monthly in arrears based on the average of the actual daily value of your portfolio throughout the month. The management fee is taken from the cash held in the portfolio, which, for liquidity reasons, could be up to two percent of the portfolio value.
Provided you do not change your portfolio strategy, risk level or, where applicable, the Themes in your Select portfolio, more than once per year, there are no further costs, sales charges or other fees. If you wish to make these changes more frequently, Tiller reserves the right to charge an administration fee for each change of £50.
Our small fees make a big difference.
The chart below compares the value of a typical wealth manager ETF portfolio charging 1.37% pa with a Tiller Core portfolio charging just 0.75% pa over a ten-year period.
The calculation assumes an annual growth rate of 5% and an underlying ETF fund charge of 0.21% for both portfolios.
Not only does a Tiller portfolio save you money in fees, but because the saving stays invested you also benefit from increased returns.
Tiller fees are inclusive of VAT, where applicable.
Please remember that the value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the full amount you invest.

Hearing set today for inmate
RANCHO CUCAMONGA — A judge at a Rancho Cucamonga courthouse is scheduled today to decide whether to dismiss some of the charges against Jon Christopher Blaylock, a Chino prison inmate charged with murder in the stabbing death of prison guard Manuel Gonzalez of Whittier.
However, it could be an uphill fight for Blaylock's defense attorney. A judge earlier had denied pretty much the exact same request.
Gonzalez's death last year triggered a slew of reforms at the men's state prison in Chino, including a review of safety procedures and the distribution of protective vests to guards. The vests were being kept in storage at the time Gonzalez was stabbed but had not been handed out to guards.
For more on this story, pick up tomorrow's Whittier Daily News.


Being richer and getting less government aid makes you Republican, right? Wrong. Alex Klein reports.
From the fiscal cliff to immigration, the Republican Party remains sorely divided over its post-loss platform. The "blame Romney first" camp is making a lot of noise about a kindler, gentler GOP and slamming their former frontman for an epic "47 percent" fumble.
So while Bobby Jindal and a handful of others may want to sweet-talk single women and Hispanics, in the base-stoking (and primary-deciding) conservative media, the Paul Ryanist argument is proving resilient. Together, it makes for an appealing economic determinism: find out how people will vote by measuring their income and federal entitlements.
But the Republican Party must ditch this line of thinking. Sure, it's divisive. But more important, it's empirically false. We've already shown how the makers-takers narrative breaks down on the state level: the amount a state's average citizen gets in federal dollars has no bearing on how that citizen votes. But of course, states are lumpy, with pockets of wealth and poverty. So now we've drilled down a level. With the help of the National Priorities Project, I've compiled per capita–spending and median-income data for almost every county in the United States. (Those figures come from the 2010 Consolidated Federal Funds Report.) And for the first time, we've compared how America's counties voted with how much their average resident makes a year and gets from the federal government. The data set covers 2,707, or more than 90 percent, of America's 3,033 counties.
Here are all of those counties in one big chart: how they voted versus how much their average citizen gets in federal dollars. Each dot represents a single county. The further to the right, the more federal government aid its average citizen gets, and the higher up, the higher Obama's vote share. There's no correlation.
Indeed, the data have a tiny negative slant, implying that counties that receive more are slightly more likely to give more votes to Romney. But the correlation is negligible. To test it, we look at an R2 regression, which indicates how much variation in one variable—i.e., Obama's fortunes in the voting booth—is explained by the other, federal spending per capita. These two data sets have an R2 of 0.0058, implying a tiny 0.6 percent correlation. Narrowing down to specific federal programs, we see a 1 percent correlation for Social Security spending, 5 percent for Medicare spending, and 0.7 percent for Pell Grant spending. The program associated with the highest—though still tiny—pro-Obama correlation was the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or food-stamp spending, with a 6.4 percent correlation. In short, if you're looking to buy a vote, federal spending isn't the way to do it.
But the GOP's 2012 narrative wasn't just that takers vote Democrat. Republicans also bet on the wealthy, arguing that the nation's higher-income makers would be naturally drawn to their platform. Of course, it's true that at the national level, the average Republican voter has a higher average income. But when you get granular and local, using our county-centric approach, the correlation breaks down. If the Republicans were right to bet on the wealthy, America's richer counties should have given more of their votes to Romney, and its poorer regions, to Obama. But this didn't happen. Here are the results.
Again, the data trend slightly counter to the GOP narrative. The richer the county, the slightly more likely it is to give a larger vote share to Obama. But again, the correlation is weak. Our R2 regression shows that about 1.8 percent of the variation in voting is explained by county median income.
With regards to America's 3,000-some counties, these graphs hurt both sides of the Republican's Ryanist narrative. How much a county's average person gets from the federal government—and how much they make—cannot predict how they vote.
Of course, every single county, from sea to shining sea, is a large data set, replete with a lot of noise. But when we looked at a handful key battleground states—Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin—we found the same results. There was barely any correlation between federal spending per person and the Obama-Romney vote spread. Did richer, higher-tax-paying counties in battleground states swing Republican? Nope. The deterministic narrative just doesn't work; each state is different, and the picture is muddled.
It's not yet clear if the GOP's misadventure in economic determinism is over. But the data, which you can explore in full in the National Priorities Project's immersive and intuitive database, make it hard to sustain. Taken together, these results show the narrative for what it is and always was: a nice, but ultimately factless, story.
