“you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

Jatki thinks you must interview every person of a particular type before you can say which way the group voted. I'm guessing he doesn't understand the meaning of extrapolation.

Applications for Purdue is up some 20% over this time period.

With all that, what percent of spending has the state or college reduced?

You should read David Stockman's book (director of office of management and budget under Reagan). "$400 billion deficits as far as the eye can see." 2.5 years of those is a trillion dollars. That was the beginning of rapidly expanding debt. Throw in a couple of unfunded wars and the number gets big. Both sides will spend as much as they can when they have control. It's just a function of where the money goes. Elderly widows in Boise or a defense contractor in Spokane. There was a day that politicians tried to balance guns and butter. Now it's all or nothing. As a life long liberal my biggest disappointment with Obama is that he didn't use his moment of control to stabilize social security. It would have benefited every citizen. Instead he squandered that moment on the ACA that helps 3% of the populace and will disappear from neglect if not overturned outright.

Daniels cut Indiana spending by about $7 billion over 8 years. He cut the number of state employees from 35,000 to 28,000. As I wrote before, it costs $1700 less to attend Purdue than in 2011. The man forces government bureaucracies to make to make financial choices. It's a simple program. He cuts the budget, and then allows those best prepared to implement cuts make those decisions.

I visit Purdue, and walk campus regularly. It's in the best condition that it's been in since I first stepped on campus in 1976.

Good News. The first economic stimulus of the Trump Administration is on the way. 25 million dollars will be flooding into the economy as a result of restitution paid to students at Trump University who sued
for fraud.

25 million goes back to victims of Bernie Madoff University

I'm glad we didn't end up with Crooked Hillary and her private server.

Yet another non-answer. You've been pretty good at typing and saying really nothing except insults. You're not as bad as lurkerposter yet but you're getting there

Turn SS back into what it was originally meant to be, for retiring seniors to have a few bucks in their golden years.

Hate to break it to you, but it is mostly uneducated white folks on disability. In other words, Trump supporters. If you have some sort of degree beyond high school, and even if you are physically reduced to being a mere a head on a platter, it is highly unlikely you will get it.

Hey mal, do me a favor and please explain how you came to this conclusion, how did 'scientific methodology' factor into your implication that most on disability are trump supporters?
