Interesting take, how do you account for Canada then? Canada has had about 5000 cases this year (that is more than twice the USA's numbers) but their population is about a tenth of the USA? (40-41million vs 340-347million)
Did Trump do that also?

How about we look at this by cases per 100K and see where the USA really is. (just a few random countries, please do your own searching if you want a specific)

USA 0.61 (Trump bad, all his fault)

Canada 13.4
Austria 5.2
France 1.2 (as of August)
We all love to tout how great socialized medicine is so lets take a quick look at the UK
UK/England 1.6
How about the whole EU/EEA (they got their stuff together right, no Trump excuses at least?)
2.1
Want to look at a less developed nations? Those numbers are bad!!
Somalia 54

Trump may be a total POS but that has nothing to do with measles.

Nonsense! I usually don't call out the BS I see on this site but this isn't sitting right with me. Your entire post is BS. Here in Washington State we did away with car test a few years ago. It was Jan 1st, 2020 that we ended those tests. They were never privatized or outsourced.

"...and the worker frequently don't even speak any English beyond..." Based on the fact that the beginning of your comment is a complete and udder fabrication I am also going to call you out for this BS. The nonexistent exhaust test location has no employees to speak any language.

George Carlin was talking about you.

Comment Re:Every puddle is not a wetland. (Score 5, Insightful) 246

I think the law was already clear, in part it states "navigable waters" as a definition of what will be regulated. The EPA has tried to manage "wetlands" that were nothing more that tractor tire marks filled with rain water (commonly referred to as puddles) on farms in CA or small streams that are not navigable. The court just told them to follow the existing law and to stay in their lane. Forcing the government to follow it's own rules (laws) is not a bad thing. If you don't like the law you can petition your government to change it.

I find it weird how you say we "gave" the .1% something instead of saying we let the .1% KEEP something. We didn't give them anything, we just didn't take as much. Letting someone keep the money they earned is not "giving" them money, it is letting them keep something they already had. Now the argument can be if their tax rate is correct or not but don't pretend we just wrote them a check or wired them money. (Unless you are talking about PPP "loans" then we might be on the same page)
