Trump's reconciliation bill will force millions of Americans into poverty. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

The Republican Party is rapidly creating a shit hole country in their own image. Soon, no one will want to come to our country. Those wanting to escape and those wanting to visit.

To answer my question. Private contracts for dons buddies.

2. I think that's already happening. I live just south of the tourist mecca, Lake George Village

And though tourist season is just beginning, I have yet to see any license plates from our Canadian neighbors who tend to come here in the summer, mainly Ontario and Quebec. And when I was in school I worked summers at the nearby amusement park where I remember seeing visitors from numerous countries - and I'm betting they won't be coming here, either! Yikes!

Because they know not how to do otherwise. Creating pain, suffering and misery is so easy. Canadians will cut their Loon expenditures at Lake George Village and that community will suffer.

Correct me My Dear, but I believe Loon is a Canadian Coin.!?

4. Lake George Village lives for the summer, they host a winter festival, but I can remember driving through there in winter

And the only traffic saw was a couple of guys on snowmobiles. As for Canadian coins, those I've received either have a maple leaf or the queen. The loon coin you referenced is a Silver Dollar and is pretty rare.
