  I don't know what you're talking about. Maine is a state not a stat.
  PS: Thanks for the heads up. Everyone does a typo.
context: Just love that new CNN mgmt, calling the regular annual federal budget "government spending"... a nice dog whistle for the right. >
  
  Also made sure to spend plenty of time talking about Biden vacationing. Has Obama golfing vibes. Who cares if he is on vaction its results not days at a desk that matter. >
  
  Do you feel that way about Trump? >
  
  Sure do. Give me some good Trump results please. Thanks. >
  
  Well Trump came for our guns when he banned bump stocks. No liberal would have violated our God given 2nd amendment rights like he did lol. >
  
  It's been a good two years, President Biden and the Democrats got way more done than I ever anticipated, and I wouldn't say I started off pessimistic. 
  If you're new to watching politics you should know that this has been one of the most effective Congressional terms in decades, actual decades, like, since the 1990's decades. 
  It's sad to see it go, I would've loved two more years of legislative progress, but it's nice to ~~remember~~ find out what it feels like.  (I was ten in 1994, so, yeah.) >
  
  They spent way to much on defense, the approved more than the WH requested but we still can’t feed homeless kids or forgive student debt which would cost a fraction of that budget.
  Be happy with some progress, but be critical of the excessive spending when we are told it costs too much to help those struggling. >

  This is another reason why folks don't think much has gotten done: There are a lot of people out there that are eager to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. >
  
  Bro, this isn’t victory, it’s slightly lesser defeat. >
  
  Then you do better. >
  
  I have spent my life not wasting trillions of dollars, destroying the working class and running protection for Trump. 
  So, mission accomplished I guess. It was shockingly easy. >
  
  Man this sub can be so depressing… so many people blindly loving Biden and Democrats and ignoring things like this. Using “they’re doing better than Trump and Republicans” is such a low bar it shouldn’t even be in the discussion. >
  
  Federal employees got a nice raise. So that's a good thing. >
  
  Almost 5% for me and it’s all greatly appreciated. Thank you all. >
  
  The fact that Biden has kept our government functional is pretty awesome! >
  
  I know, now imagine if we had a president under 50. >
  
  We didn’t have that choice but he’s doing great 
  Gas is down too - Biden did that lol 
  Funny how fast those stickers were removed by republicans >
  
  All my holiday vacation I didn't hear a peep about gas prices. They went up about 10 cents today and suddenly my whole family is saying "Biden is messing with the gas prices again, what a surprise" like really.... >
  
  850 some billion on military shit we dont need.
  how about reinvesting that into the people.   like college, health care, homelessness, the list goes on >
  
  Hopefully you realize that most of that money goes back into the hands of US citizen employees and businesses which then build more than what the US needs so the can sell at the excess to other countries at a profit. I think we'd all like to not have to spend money on things that kill, main, and destroy but this investment advanced the technology we need to keep our place as the largest economy. It's a deal with the devil. >

  Probably an autocorrect typo but you're looking for maim not main in that sentence. >
  
  It's maim without an e.
