Cory Booker Blames Regulations, Not Bad Policy, For Job Losses

... running in 2020 because he will not beat Donald Trump. He won’t. Why? Because they say the exact same things. Cory Booker is like a Republican version of President Obama, who was a moderate Republican version of a Democrat. We don’t need that anymore. We need somebody who believes in economic populism, somebody who believes that regulations that protect the environment, and keep people breathing clean air, and drinking clean water might be more important than creating one or two jobs. Furthermore, we need people who understand that regulations actually create an economic benefit greater than killing those regulations and creating jobs. Regulations create jobs. They have an economic multiplier effect that ripples all throughout local economies. Yeah, businesses may lose one or two jobs if they have to pay more money to keep up to code, so you lose one or two, and you gain 10. I’m no math wiz, but I know that 10 is greater than two, and apparently Cory Booker does not. Either that, or he hasn’t taken time to read any of the dozens of studies that have come out that say that regulations create jobs. Yeah media, go ahead and focus on the fact that ...

Booker, a Democrat, called the changes in the American Health Care Act “stunning” and said he and other Democrats are trying to convince Republican colleagues to reconsider the bill. “Right now the push is trying to convince our Republican colleagues to not let such an awful bill pass,” Booker said. “This is not fiscally responsible – it’s actually going to cost New Jersey a lot more money, America a lot more money. We all know putting money into programs like Planned Parenthood – they do preventative care – is far cheaper than dealing with the cost of care when situations become far more acute. I’m hoping common sense prevails.”. Planned Parenthood currently operates 26 centers in New ...

Did Cory Booker And Mindy Kaling Just Set Up A Real-life Date Over Twitter

... schedule. — Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) March 23, 2017. At this point, Booker is feeling giddy like a teenager, deploying a grin and a confetti-party emoji in response to Kaling accepting his offer. He even went so far as to say (in our words, not his), Nah, girl, you don’t have to take the train, because I’ll pay for your Lyft. Booker apparently has said #Bye Uber as well. 🎉 😁Thank you! PATH train is awesome when you are Jersey bound. But you are @Lyft worthy! I will send one to you for the door to door. __link__/h THqqy XLZn. — Cory Booker (@Cory Booker) March 23, 2017. Kaling could be interested, or she could just be gathering material for a romantic comedy about a looking-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places millennial gal who gets caught up in the world of D. C. politics after she starts dating a political up-and-comer. (We know she’s done “research” in Washington before.) Obviously, the movie would star Kaling (ostensibly as herself) and a Cory Booker stand-in (maybe Maury Rooker for story), and it would follow them from their flirtatious Twitter ...

"I tolerate a cold," he said onstage Friday. "Love says I see you. I recognize your dignity, your value, your worth.". Our nation's aspiration of being a country of tolerance is really problematic, he said. "It is a rejection of that larger goal, the more difficult goal, which is to be a nation of love.".
