Elect Short 2028:

Just some of things i would run on:

If you elect me no more fcking restrictions on diesel or gas other than make it so the vehicles last forever. Diesel was always cheaper than gas until some boomer had an idea. If you dont remember that children of the baby boomer ask your boomer parents.


Second -- no restrictions on vehicles ---none period. Let them build what lasts not some bullshit.


The fires in cunuck world prove that all this EPA bullshit is just that..

BTW: I give each and every one of you 5k if u elect me

Goodday.

No way in hell you could even come close to my level of conservative. Take that to the bank.

Probably not. I paid off my 30yr mortgage in 7 years and was debt free @ 35.

I can't top that but my point being we don't live beyond our means or even close to it. That doesn't mean Im going to defend paying $5.50 a gallon Diesel for the better of America because this is nothing but a huge boat anchor to the economy.

My two boys have each flipped 3 houses at age 40. they made improvements and finished the basements themselves and made out like fat rats. We are far from lazy , stupid or poor but that doesn't mean we should be OK with $ 5.50 diesel and over $ 4.00 gas just because we can afford it. And by the way, we change our own oil and I have a roll of wijndsheild wiper rubber in my garage that I bought for less than one set of store bought blades . I paid everything off when I retired but does that mean I should be OK if my "bills" have damn near doubled since I retired ?

I didn't mean for my comments to sound like I was accusing you or your family specifically of not understanding how to live within their means. You said you were concerned for your grand-children and I merely pointed out something a grandpa, ANY grandpa, could easily do, for free without handing grandkiddo $$$ that would be a true help.

1. Sitting grandkids down and explaining why it's important and then creating a budget. Of course then the less fun part, but the part that truly matters, following-up occasionally to see if the lessons sunk in and how things are going for them whether they did or didn't adhere to the budget.

2. I pointed out some seeming small "money-suck" expenses where money is EASILY saved that can add up to significant $$$ each week, month, year. "Small Conveniences" being an ENORMOUS contributor to "Where did all my $$$ go?".

My parents, grandparents, and some of my aunts/uncles were all quick to point out: "Save Some" when kids opened B-Day/Christmas, Confirmation, Graduation, etc. presents that contained cash.

Neither you, I, nor likely anyone on NDA has enough $$$ or political clout to change fuel pricing short term. 100%, a person needs to vote their own conscience regarding whom they believe will put the nation on the heading that aligns with their own priorities. That said, I was pointing out a few things a person can do to help others understand and possibly better manage their finances when things aren't going the way they'd prefer.

That's sound advice an no offence taken. I agree 100 percent, it's the best gift you can give to your kids and grandkids
