Oh dear! Congress can’t get the votes to pass Trump’s massive spending bill. Oh my! It will ADD TO THE DEFICIT! What, oh what can Republican elected legislators do? Oh What? Oh what? Oh, they have a GREAT IDEA! Cut spending, of course, of course.
But, oh dear, what to cut? Why, cut as many dollars that go to mainstream Americans as possible, of course. Who needs FEMA to rescue victims and rebuild after natural disasters? Who needs money to feed poor children? Who needs money to teach children or create educated expert professionals? Who needs money to forecast the weather, protect against foreign predatory hackers? Well, not the billionaires, soooooo… cut cut cut cut.
See how fiscally responsible they are? Aren’t you sooooooo grateful that they care SO MUCH about the deficit?
If you are trapped in the Right Wing disinformation and distortion bubble, I guess you are.
But I’m not. For Goodness Sake, RAISE TAXES. On the billionaires. On the top 0.01%, top 1%, top 10%…graduated tax system. End the deficit.
The last president who ran a balanced budget was Clinton. His V.P., Al Gore, led the cooperative project to cut and IMPROVE the Federal Government.
You can take money from the middle class and the poor and send trillions to the billionaires. OR you can have government raise taxes on those who have soooooo much, and benefit and empower the middle class and poor. Who will then GROW THE ECONOMY by spending on the economy rather than just buy a bunch of bonds, foreign mansions, yachts and private planes and helicopters, etc. the masses of Americans buy the kinds of essentials and pleasures that create jobs and grow the economy.
And, what do you know? the rich will get richer as the economy grows. What a surprise.
What happens if the income disparity becomes too large? Well, in France the poor folks cut off the heads of the king and his aristocracy. In Russia the poor folks shot the Tsar, his family, and his aristocracy.
In America the poor and middle class folks who felt diminished elected a make believe billionaire because he hated the same people they do.
Well, they are finding out he is not one of them, he is all about taking their money and sending it to the billionaires.
What next?
