Remember: It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

It's about priorities

Not a peep
The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously. Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

President Musk already scuffling
President Musk is handed a defeat before he officially takes office. He is going to scold VP Trump for failing to follow through on his directives

"Full of shit" pretty much nails it
Reagan: tripled the National debt.
— Rep. Steven Woodrow (@WoodrowForCO) May 28, 2023
GWB: doubled the National debt.
Trump: added $7.8 trillion in 4 years after promising to eliminate the debt entirely.
They’re only “fiscal conservatives” when a Dem is in the White House. Otherwise they’re just full of shit.
Republicans = Nazis

Yes, they're scum
Wash Post lede calls them “spending-weary centrists”
— Joe Sudbay (@JoeSudbay) October 19, 2021
Be more realistic to call them “corrupt conservatives more interested in concerns of corporate donors than their constituents” https://t.co/LXL0qR1oQr
The Republican Party Is Now a Fascist Cult Just Like Nazi Germany

Another reason to hate Ronald Reagan
Not that I needed another one.
Seems that one of the crucial steps in the now thirty years war lead by wealthy elites and Corporate America on the working class that lead us to the point we're at now wherein we're seriously fucked financially, was making Americans hate their government. As in, if they hate it they won't mind it not being funded, even though that funding generally helped the poor and the middle class. And guess who benefitted? Rich folks! As in, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.
Leading the charge for this was all around nitwit and second rate Hollywood actor, Ronald Reagan, and his government isn't the solution, it's the problem bullshit. The Reagan Devolution has decimated the middle class and led to more Americans (especially children) living in poverty than when that pesky old government actually funded programs that helped actual Americans.
As one who lived though Reagan/s election, I can't begin to tell you how much I wish I had a time machine and could go back in time to show Americans what thirty years of Reagan's scorched earth economic policy has wrought upon the working class. And for all his faults, Jimmy Carter could have changed all of that.
With two weeks to go until this years mid-term elections (November 4th!), anyone believing their local and state elections are a choice between tweedledee and tweedledum is sorely mistaken. Elections, to quote Joe Biden, are a big fucking deal.
And it can be the difference between a strong middle class and a country that cares about its poor, and the crumbling middle class and the war on the poor that the Reagan Devolution gave us.

Scenes from an American Trainwreck, Part 4
The 1918 flu pandemic infected 500 million people around the world, and killed 50-100 million people. Twenty-eight percent of the people in the United States were affected by this flu and it killed over 500,000 Americans. Many scientists consider it to be the worst medical disaster in history.
Many of today's scientists think it's only a matter of time before another pandemic of such epic proportions strikes the world again. First the good news: thanks to our wisely spent tax dollars, the National Institute of Health believes we may only be five years from a universal vaccine, which would also work against a massive pandemic. And for the bad news--thanks to the republicans sequester cuts (too many Democrats have been duped by the evil forces of austerity, but let's face it, if we had control of the House, this sequester bullshit would be a long gone mother fucker) that target date will probably be pushed back because of a lack of funding.
Feelin' lucky, punk?
Because that's what republicans are counting on--luck that another widespread pandemic won't occur. So they can continue to throw our tax money to the wealthy, at the expense of the poor and the middle class.
Remember this: if there is another outbreak similar to 1918, it won't be the children of republican senators and congresspeople that will die. It won't be the children of the moneyed elite.
It will be our kids.
