Republicans are cutting your services to save money, then spending like crazy on tax cuts for the rich & military adventures. Democrats have helped set up this corrupt system to Build Bigger Billionaires & get rich themselves. Maybe because they are destroying earth they want to get one big payday.

Sounds like we can't afford to give the rich another huge tax cut.

No issues adding to that debt so Bezos can buy another boat and Musk can buy another election?

Just cut the pensions and social security and the problem is sorted. If they protest just shoot them. I'm going to apply for the finance position in government.

Misdirection play. Private equity always shifts the burden and blame to the public sector. When they're caught do they ever admit guilt? There you go. The house of horrors is in finance: dark pools (private rooms inside dark pools), private credit, CDO's, CDS's, shredding Dodd-Frank, on & on...

A little bit of fear to rattle the market as always. Then pump.

Need to scrap the big bloated budget bill Break it into 11 sections and debate the spending by department. (Reducing the pork stuck in) Insist on a $1 cut in spending for every $1 cut in taxes. Make all tax cuts limited to $500k of income No taxes on OT, Tips, or Social Security.

That sounds like all the more reason not to pass a $3.8 TRILLION bill.
