Weird.  I haven't seen those commercials since college, and I was just thinking about them yesterday, for no reason, no idea why, after not having crossed my mind in 20+ years. 
Never crossed my mind either,cause I don't remember those i just remember "Hey that's great but who are the Chefs?"

What you're failing to account for is that the government then has to pay you market rate for the property, and/or move you to anotherplace of similar value. That's what the biggest cost is on a lot of our highway projects right now. On the current reconstruction of 494 down the Bloomington strip, there have been 9 figures worth of Legislature allocations for right-of-way purchases that have been made over the last 10 years.
What you're failing to account for is that the government sets the "market" rate for the property.
Some entity from China wants to pay 2 times their "Market" rate = I'm then not allowed to take the better offer

a) the cartels get the shit form China because China happens to be the lowest cost high volume provider of the drug- not to the pleasure of China. the Cartels are in business to make money- and they rake in billions of dollars.

From what I understand the potential debt increase comes primarily because of tax cuts.  Spending got reduced, but by less than revenue will get cut.  
My read is spending goes up under the bill, not down.  One can argue all day about the impact on revenue, but spending clearly gets cut in some areas and then increased by even more in others.

This seems like a response to something that’s not happening?

Musk should know better than to poke the bigger much more powerful bully, but he's an egotistical idiot.

They're both thin-skinned egotists, this type of thing was inevitable.

I disagree with that.  They're both very smart. 

They're just petty and emotional and myopic and childish.

Smart in some ways, very stupid in others.
