Guacamole..
The President said we are paying for this Democracy a high price.
We are paying a high price not for Democracy but for this administration actions starting with Cancelling the Keystone pipeline, followd by paying the Ukranian a large sum of money for years that brings us to this point. Recession is expected in Europe, Russia, and 35% of the USA.
It is all done by the actions of this administration- the left wing of it. Just a thought.
Set Back..
The strategy of sitting back and waiting for Russia’s war machine to grind to a halt because of sanctions could go “terribly wrong,” according to Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
The Ukrainian resistance cannot hold the fort for much longer, and sanctions by the West won’t be able to stop Russia in time, he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Friday.
He said the U.S. is relying heavily on sanctions and “very belated arms deliveries” to Ukraine, but he’s concerned that those fighting for Ukraine won’t be able to defend the country for long.
Though the Russians have sustained more casualties than expected, they are still “advancing steadily,” he said.
“The assumption that this is going to drag out, that the United States can sit back and watch the economic sanctions do their work may be gravely mistaken,” Ferguson said.
Best to help reach a peaceful agreement rather expand the war. Just a thought.
WW 3..
The USA and the Biden Administration have done enough damage in pouring gasoline on the fire that is going in Ukraine. Supplying the Ukraine with weapon will prolong the suffering and the outcome is the same.
We promised the Ukrainians too much and now we are facing a World War 3 that we don't want, and the world don't want it.
The war in Ukraine have caused the USA and the Europeans major problems as it is while Poland is pouring the American to the Midst of it.
Enough with wars, enough with supporting people who are novel in the misery to come as a result of war.
Just a thought.

Less Tax
Republican leaders in the state House and Senate in Michigan vow to temporarily nix the state's 27 cent gas tax, promising to send the proposal to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer some time next week.
The House approved the rapidly conceived bill by a 63-39 margin Wednesday afternoon, chiefly with GOP support but also with the backing of a handful of Democrats. The Senate plans to vote on the bill sometime next week. In theory, that puts the measure on Whitmer's desk by March 18.
The GOP plan would end the state tax on April 1 through the end of September, the end of the fiscal year. Lawmakers estimated Michigan drivers would save $750 million over that time, which translates to a similar amount of tax revenue not coming into state coffers.
How about the New York Democrats?
