Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on.
It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

On Jan 20, 2017, the debt was $19.95 trillion. It has now officially doubled in the last 9.5 years. Biden is responsible for $8.4 trillion in 4 years. That's $ 11.65 trillion on Trump. Trump is responsible for 30% of the current US DEBT. So much for paying it off.

U.S. Debt Hits $40 Trillion as America’s Borrowing Binge Continues (Gift Article)
President Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order and reduce the amount of America’s debt burden have been hampered by spending on the Iran war, tax cuts and tariff refunds.

Can you even call politicians public servants anymore ?
They very clearly are not doing what the public wants or needs, overwhelmingly serve either their own or corporate interests and many seem to have outright disdain for the very constituents that vote them in ?

It’s amazing how many political argument still used today originated with The West Wing.
In this iconic scene from The West Wing, the argument isn't simply about religion, it's about selective morality. Who decides which biblical laws are still moral — and which ones we leave behind? Any fans of the show? I am starting to appreciate this show more now than ever.

Most Americans will never get to ask billionaires like Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “what do you need a tax cut for?”
So I asked. Republican officials may think that’s rude. But we deserve to know.

Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025.
During that time, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth jump by $139B as Amazon profits hit record highs.
No corporation as profitable as Amazon should be paying its workers so little they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive.
