How's that jobs report going to look in a year, Jethro? First time we have had negative job growth since 2020, and the last time that Trump presided over a recession. Republicans don't know shit about economics. They have proven this for a fucking CENTURY.

So you're a self-entitled moocher, who thinks you are OWED something by other adults. You have now proven yourself to be another MAGAt hypocrite. "Rules for thee, not for me". You accuse others of being what you wallow and relishing in being. Pig.

My parents are ADULTS. Aren't you an ADULT? Why do you think you, as an adult, should be the responsibility of another ADULT? Sounds like you're the moocher you accuse others of being, which is always the way with you cultists. Accusations in Mirrors.

No, I reject your attempt to rewrite history and the Constitution. I told you where to find the taxing authority of the Congress. Your denial is just obtuse contrarianism and shows you're a dishonest fool.

OH, dear gods, you are so fucking stupid you can't even see that literally call people "moochers" and then declare yourself to be the responsibility of others. The hypocrisy is stunning but then again, that's the MAGA cult. If you didn't have hypocrisy, you would just have the pedophilia.

I already corrected you on this. Scroll back. Madison was wrong. So you are you. The SCOTUS showed it.

So people on Medicare are "moochers" in your view? Which charities cover people the way Medicare does? Or Medicaid? Name them.
Brian Ragle (@ragle.bsky.social) reply parent
SS is money that belongs to the people who paid into it. SNAP is so kids won't go hungry. Medicare is paid for by the specific tax workers paid. Medicaid is so people don't die of preventable illnesses. Which do you think people should be denied? Go on. Name which one should be cut, sociopath?

So, you can't name a specific policy. Know why? There wasn't one. Gas prices aren't determined by things like presidential policies, especially in the short term. The Labor Day gas prices were entirely the result of GLOBAL factors of supply and demand and pricing. You lose again.
Brian Ragle (@ragle.bsky.social) reply parent
BTW, the "growth" here? It was from 3% to...wait for it...3.3%. And why? Because the plunge in imports and Q1 spending as businesses stocked up ahead of tariffs. It had nothing to do with actual growth, just math in how GDP is calculated.

The 10A was literally the basis for the court challenge to those programs and it was deteremined by the SCOTUS that the power of the Congress to tax and spend did not violate that amendment. Nothing was ignored. You're just mad that things aren't as you want them to be in your LibertAryan world.

False. And the Supreme Court has said as much. The Congress has the power to tax and spend, which means they can create Federal spending programs. This authority was upheld and your 10A argument rejected in Helvering v. Davis and Steward Machine Co. v. Davis. Your claim is false.
