The Trump tax cuts should be repealed somewhat to pay for the COVID relief. It did not affect the economy to invest in capital enhancements by increasing jobs but used for stock buy back.
A kosher movie named Arranged involves an arab girl who makes a shidduch for a religious orthodox jewish girl.
The shidduch comes in an unexpected way as krias yam suf, the spitting if the sea, was not expected. My shidduch came through a plumber who worked by both of our families. My wife a’h and myself together made a shidduch.
The Chasam Sofer needs some explanation. If he takes something out unintentionally, he is a misasek as asked by the Magen Avraham. What he answers about muktza is also a problem if one changes clothing for shabbos. The answer is as stated above tbat we wear it for a weekday simcha or wearing it for yom tov and we find something in the pocket when outside, so now he is not a misasek.
Why did no one question the Trump tax cuts for the rich which increased the deficit tremendously?

People stand in line for food as they are still millions on unemployment causes economizing where possible and diminish demand for appliances by paying to fix tbem rather than buy new. States collect less tax money. Small businesses have gone bankrupt. Schools cannot open up without renovation. Vaccine distribution costs money.
George H W Bush called it voodoo economics advocated by Reagan. By reducing government spending we are suppose to reduce taxes and supply is suppose to drive demand but if there is no money in the hands of people, demand will not increase. The National Debt increased tremendously under Reagan as the government expenses exceeded the government income.
Someone put on his shabbos clothing on a week day and wanted to see if he feels the taste of shabbos. I will try to prove it. Shabbos has a taste of olam habo. Vayerach es reach begodov, Yitzchok Avinu felt the taste of Gan Eden from Yaakov’s clothing which came from Nimrod who got it from Adam Harishan.
Supply without demand to match will cause deflation and demand without supply will cause inflation. So we want to increase demand by giving money to people to increase consumption for the existing supply and encourage capital investment to create more jobs by increasing demand and supply accordingly.
AAQ, You cannot print money if there is no supply because that will cause inflation but supply is driven by demand. If demand increases, consumption increases and that will be an incentive to invest and supply will increase which will create jobs and increase demand and so on. So you need to jump start the economy by increasing demand.
It is stimulus. By putting money into people’s pocket, demand increases and the economy grows by Keynesian Theory and not like Milton Friedman, who makes you believe that supply increase generates the economy which there is no incentive for. If no increase in demand, there is no incentive to increase supply. The depression occurred because of overproduction which could not be sold.
Yes, Trump wanted to look good by suggesting the idea of $2000 payment with conditions of investigating voter fraud and provide liability protection for big tech companies that he knew the Democrats will not agree to.
It says ‘דע מה למעלה ‘ממך – you should realize the judgement above from מדה כנגד מדה. The Daroshas HaRan says it reflects on the hashgacha. Mishna Sotah (1,7). The Baal Shem Tov says Hashem Tzilcha , Hashem is like a shadow, reflecting back your actions.
The problem is that even though you don’t know who it is but others might know.
We find the the Hagadah no difference between the chacham and the rasha both using expressions which exclude themelves why? The Chasan Sofer explains the chacbam does this on purpose in order the rasha should reveal itself by thinking the chacham is also a rasha. So the rasha says you are rasha and exclude yourself, I am also a rasha. Trump by not standing up at Chalottesville gave tbe impession that he is also a white supremacist.
Those who eat machine matzos, see why 18 minute matzos should be used
The above tries to explain why David Hamelech instituded the brachas on everyone.
The Rabbenu Bachya there explains that by counting we separate the good and the bad but together we are all good. People are bad mainly because of gaiva, where they think that everything given to them they deserve. Saying a hundred brachas a day recognizes that everything comes from Hashem as a Matnas Chinom. It says in SA O’CH 98,5 that a person should not be thinking that he davened well and therefore he is deserving to be answered because that creates a scrutiny of his actions being judged in a harsher way.
David Hamelech said to Shaul that Hashem got you to sin by creating the yetzer hara. Therefore, counting through machtzis hashekel unites the Jews, as we need two half shekolim to make one, so it fights the effect of the yetzer hara. No sin is recognized when we are in unity but unity is broken up through gaiva. David Hamelech miscalculated figuring that the Machtzis Hashekel is a temporary foregiveness on the sin of the Eigel and just required for the building of the mishkan but it is required whenever we count the Jews. Also, the machtzis hashekel was even more required as the count was made with no purpose, so the mashchis took over without seeing good or bad but the bad, somewhat, got converted to good by the uttering of hundred brachas everyday recognizing that everything comes from Hashem as stated above making gaiva disappear but without it, gaiva would break up unity and the theme of the machtzis hashekel will not help.Whether we need hand matzos
see https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/hand-matzos-vs-machine-matzosThe separation of religion and state is maybe the most important law in the US as it protects religion from any instituted state or central laws.
It is not correct above. US is .15% and Israel is .06%, so US is 2 1/2 times that of Israel.
Israel is .15% whereas US is .6% four times as much.
MadeAliyah, see how limited it is in Israel 5815 out of 9 million – .06%? Trump could have been more careful such that less people died. Israel did not down play the effect whereas Trump did.
US 520,000 out of 330,000,000 – 15%nishtdayngesheft,
“ It is a greater mitzva to teach someone how to fish than give him a fish. ”Quotes with poor people and fish come from a very different religion.
If not in this terms but teaching a parnasa is a halacha, Rambam Hilchas Matnas Aniyim (10,7), Yesh Chachma Bagoyim. GIVE A MAN a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for his life time. — Italian proverb.
I adopted a converted boy from Columbia who is around 37 years old at six months old currently having three children. Also, a coverted girl of Italian origin as a baby born in NY who is 34 years old having a boy and a girl. Abortion is considered murder for non-Jews. For Jews, viabilify is from birth as mentioned by the Rabbenu Chezkinu in Parashas Mishpatim where money is paid for damages. What about 500,000 dead through Coronavirus and peoole starving from hunger which can be attributed to Trump?
er, I agree, if we openly discriminate against a group, we create reasons to be discriminated. In galus, the Klei Yokor says on פנו לכם צפונה in Parashas Devorim, we must be hidden.
Instead of abortions let them bring it to term and give it up for adoption. They can even make money on it. I have two converted from birth adopted children now married with their children.
It is a greater mitzva to teach someone how to fish than give him a fish. People need job training which is more supported by Democrats and not like Reagan who eliminated the CETA program, otherwise people are on their own to sink or swim.
They care about big tax cuts for the rich and the poor can starve. The deficit was no problem for the tax cuts for big corporations. It was not invested in capital enhancement in order to create jobs but was used for stock buy back.
I think socialism applies to Torah values. Government is there to support peoples needs and not the sink and swim attitude of tbe Republicans where they only care for themselves. Why should I give charity, let others do it.
Doing mitzvos with bad character behavior toward his fellow men isn’t that a pig with a golden nose ring?
boredguy, I am an Orthodox Democrat who writes G-d with a capital letter. We only write god when referring to an idol.
Bored guy, don’t be so bored and do more research. Bad behavior does not have to be followed.
The Midrash Shmuel on Pirkei Avos on איזהו דרך ישרה says that ben adam lechavero comes before ben adam laMakom. The democrats care for the poor not like Desantos who only
vaccinates the rich.The best thing is a chasiddishe litvak where he has the hislahavus of a chasid and the brisker learning of a litvak, so he will appeciate both. The chasiddim should respect each other’s type of chassidus.
What I wrote above is from the Sefer Michtav Me’Eliyahu from Rav Eliyahu Dessler.
Don’t male a form of anything. a pesel, statue that represents something or someone for worshipping by believing that it has the power to grant your desires.
Everyone serves Hashem with his abilities, some cold, some warm, through one’s natural tendencies and it does not make a difference how, so there is no reason to hate each other.
They worship the golden trump calf.
Rebbi Shimon cpnsidered it not emes because it is obvious and unnecrssary whereas Rebbi Akiva holds it is emes for either reason.
AAQ, my answer is based on a midrash: ויאמינו בה’ ובמשה עבדו – אם במשה האמינו בה’ לא כל שכן – אם כן למה מאמר במשה should have said ‘למה נאמר בה but it could be that Moshe is obvious as his strength emanates from Hashem.
common saychel, thank you, for you too.
Yom Kepurim a day like Purim. Purim is similar and greater than Yom Kippur. Both are kabolas Hatorah but by Purim was accepted with a full heart.
AAQ, why didn’t Rav Shimon Hamosini think of Rebbi Akiva’s darush? I think it was obvious as the chachomim’s strength emanates friom Hashem but Rebbi Akiva was an am haaratz, so he realized that they need a special admonishment.
cimmon saychel, no one has to listen. I did much research on tircha at one time and some people appreciated. As a baal koreh I wqs upset when people closed tbe sefer torah after showing them the place having to take time to find it again.
