    "They wanna do a giant tax cut that disproportionately helps the rich while taking away people's health insurance and food while still adding trillions to the debt," Bobby Kogan, a former Senate Budget Committee staffer who is now senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, wrote in response to the resolution.

    They justify it pretty easily: they don't care.

    This will be LARGELY unpopular - and will give them a very short window in power.

    And this is the way it goes. Liberals push too far with some things, then republicans get their hands on the wheel and **** around in other ways.

    Both sides are corrupt as ****. And both sides benefit the super wealthy, republicans do it in broad daylight, libs do it in the shadows.

    We can disagree on the finer details. It’s fine. I don’t like either side one bit.

    Sure, one side is for maintaining the status quo, the other side is for gutting the country to give to the 1%. Dems can be bad but there are some Dems that are really good. Almost ALL republicans politicians are bad.

    If I was Lord and Savior like Musk, I would double SNAP. And instead of giving cash-for-food dispersements, I would give out commodity coupon coins for specific products. Alcohol, tobacco, sugar drinks and junk food would not get them. For example, a SNAP family gets 20 lbs of chicken and beef free. They could trade these coupons on the open market.add whatever realistic commodity to the market and issue digital trading coupons. Price for the items would plummet

    Are you going to buy shares in this new private program? Are you expecting a return on investment with this program?

    Or is the new welfare program not going to publicly traded and the only shareholders are private equity?

    Honestly .. . . I don't think their base cares as long as
    1. They "see" themselves as doing better than those "other people"
    2. The LibTards are pissed about it. . . SICK IT TO THE LIBS!!!
    3. They have a Proper King and Court - They Truly do want to return to a Monarchy and their proper position as Serfs

    They will lose Congress in mid-terms for sure if they proceed with this. Then, Trump will be a lame duck the rest of the way.
