I have three teachers in my family and they work so hard for so little. YES, they need and deserve to be paid more.

Gerald Turnage

Under Missouri law teachers are required to get a Master degree. The education that is required has to pay more. These people teach our children. I do not agree with some of what is taught or allowing kids to get away with their actions and I do not agree with the unions and am against them .

Adam

Shame on anyone that voted no.

I don't put much stock in Teachers anymore after raising my kids. It's changed so much since I went to school that I couldn't help with their home work. Then the Teacher tells me that my kids will fail due to my lack of knowledge, thought that was why she was getting paid?

Not until teacher unions and CRT are gone.

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

Coaching staff adjustments and player talent.

Max

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Novel Pairings

They control the Presidency, Senate and House, and are holding up a budget that would increase healthcare premiums three-fold for millions of Americans to give the rich tax write-offs. This is all Republican.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants
