Owner of the famed Laurelhurst Market has a new location for “Big Chicken” which the original burned down in a fire that was started in apartments adjoined on Glisan. The new Big Chicken is located in downtown Beaverton at 4570 SW Watson Ave. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with cole slaw and it ranks as one of the best I’ve had. I give this locally owned restaurant 5 full stars.
Here’s a fun fact. The deficit JUST for the month of October, came in at $100.5 billion. No, not the national debt. The fiscal budget. That’s a buttload of money NOT being spent where it should be.
.
Remember the hair-on-fire panic during the Obama administration when he bankrolled Solyndra, a producer of solar panels, and it went bankrupt? SCANDALOUS! The GOP/Fox News outcry was only to be eclipsed by Benghazi.
.
Solyndra cost us $528 million. Million with an “M.” That’s half a billion.
The GOP cost us the equivalent of 200 Solyndras—just last month.
.
Trump complains regularly that the Mueller investigation is not only unfair to him personally, but to the taxpayers as well (he cares about us! He really, really does!) because we’re footing the bill. How much? $17 million as of May, so probably $20-23 million by now.
Again, let’s put that into perspective. Last month’s deficit is about 4,500 TIMES more than what Mueller’s spent investigating a foreign attack on our Democracy over the period of two years. In. Just. One. Month! Or, to put it another way...
.
$100 billion = $3.3 billion per day. Or...
.
$139 million per hour. Or...
.
$2.32 million per minute. Or...
.
$38,600 per second.
.
That’s for one (1) month. And these exact deficit figures are projected out for each and every month until 2028. Do the math.
.
You’re welcome.

That’s money NOT being spent on healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. Instead, it was deficit-spent on tax cuts for the rich. It was also intended to bribe you into voting GOP last week, but that didn’t happen. Yeah, you got a few farthings out of it too, but that was a placebo to keep you from bellyaching about the uppity neighbor who moved from your rathole cul-de-sac to the country club. You didn’t get enough to cover the cost of a new rifle rack for your ‘92 Dodge pickup. <spits 💦> He got a new Infiniti.
.
But hey, donchewworryboutathing. Mitch has a plan! You know those commie/socialist programs FDR and LBJ imposed on our parents and grandparents against their will? Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare? The ones that have improved both the quality of life and livelihoods of retired and disabled Americans for decades?
.
Well, Mitch wants to tap into that. Not a lot mind you, just enough to cover the cost of Trump’s tax cuts. You can trust him. Oh, and maybe enough for a couple of aircraft carriers. And the next round of tax cuts for the rich. And um... maybe if there’s any leftover, a slush fund to pay for the next war. France, Canada, Germany and the U.K. have been sounding pretty surly lately. You never know!

Do you hear the outcry from the “fiscal conservatives?” It’s deafening! 🦗🦗🦗
