Search Results: her interest level

Are the range of crimes that can fit beneath a 1-year sentence (misdemeanor) or a multi-year sentence (felony) adequate to communicate the severity of the crime to interested parties like employers, insurers, landlords, etc?

Should a level of charge that is say 30 or 60 days be created?

Should I level of charge that is say 1 to 5 or 6 to 10 years be created?

Should misdemeanors have an expiration date where they are dropped completely from official records? Only recorded as a misdemeanor with no obligation to disclose what it was?

Many stakeholders in the criminal justice system have advocated that felonies be categorized into violent or nonviolent with the intent being that a non-violent felonies do not need to be disclosed to employers unless it is absolutely germane to the job (like applying for an accountant if you've been convicted of tax evasion)?

Gun owners have advocated for the same in order that non-violent felons can keep their guns.

Do you have any thoughts about when minors are charged with MAJOR crimes and how that should be handled? Family court? Sealed records? Psychiatric incarceration? Lower the age or give DA more discretion to charge kids as adults?

It is forecast that the $1.3 trillion estimated cost of annual foregone revenue from Trump's tax reduction plans (out of a total revenue intake of $6.3 trillion annually) is a shortfall of 20.1% which would be offset by $5.9% increase in revenue from Trump's tariff plan.
In sum, a total loss of $14.2% of federal revenue with no plans for how to make up the shortfall. He has suggested giving the President control over the Fed to set interest rates as well as control of the money supply (printing money). He has also suggested to eliminate the debt ceiling. Economists & the Congressional Budget Office have derided both of these ideas as leading to precipitous rises and consumer prices and dangerously inflationary.

More detailed breakdown:
Donald Trump's proposed tariffs to make up this revenue loss from his tax cuts (which include a 10% worldwide tariff and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods paid for by the American consumer - so in effect a hidden tax), are estimated to generate approximately $280 billion annually.
If the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Trump legislations provisions are made permanent, it is estimated that the federal government would experience a reduction in revenues of approximately $400 billion annually.
Additionally, the long-term fiscal impact would increase the national debt by $16.5 trillion over the next 75 years. This revenue loss primarily arises from the continuation of foregone income tax introduced by the TCJA.
Regarding the image above, Trump has NO ability to influence insurance rates as they are set at the state level, Congress has signaled that they have no plans to restore the state and local tax deduction (SALT), the president has no ability to mandate coverage of IVF treatment and the president has no ability to set credit card interest rates.

When a student enters 9th grade, he or she sits down with a guidance counselor. They go over the student's grades, reading level, math scores, and interests. The counselor suggests college track or vocational track. If the student choose college prep, he or she has two years to show her or she can handle it. If grades are below a 2.5 GPA, they are put on vocational track.

Vocational track would teach a skill applicable to 21st century jobs, and schools would try to find apprenticeships for seniors. Now that may be limited in rural settings.

Right now IMHO, schools tend to put all students on a college prep track for at least the first two years of high school before the student is given a chance to take vocational education, and by that time, the student may have fallen behind and has to re-take classes.

I remember when Biden took office, fuel prices shot up within days. Personally, the Biden presidency has not benefitted me at all. However, I feel I have been more at a disadvantage ever since.

• The tech recession really started to take effect. I am a software engineer. Due to the mass layoffs in the tech industry, it is much more challenging to land a new role.
• The cost of rent skyrocketed within a year of Biden taking office. A one bedroom apartment that once cost $800 a month rose to $1,300 a month.
• Homeownership became more unobtainable. Being almost 30 and wanting to own my first home, I was outpriced. For example, looking at the history of these homes, a condo that once sold for under $200k in 2021 is now selling for over $350k in 2024.
• Interest rates have increased for mortgage loans, car loans, or any type. of loan/line of credit.
• I feel my career has not taken off. I have employment instability everywhere I go.
• I am having difficulties obtaining affordable mental healthcare or any healthcare for that matter.
• I feel more strapped financially even for just groceries. I spent about $8 today on just 2 items: a tube of Pillsbury orange roles and a jar of store brand apple butter.
• My overall stress levels have increased.

These are just examples of issues I have encountered on a personal basis.
