Republicans Are Bringing Back Their Plan to Gut Social Security and Medicare
A new budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year makes sweeping cuts.
oh yea, veterans, Medicare, social security, you know….pretty much anything that can help people
That'll just amp up the animosity, IMHO. I like Joe's approach we he rarely does that - and look what he's accomplished!
Social media, in particular, seems to be the greatest threat to democracy (well, and FOX in the US). People used to just share stuff with their friends and family - now it gets blasted out to 10s of millions.

That is the worst both side argument I ever heard, 🤣Bob Good claimed the American people would not be adversely affected by a temporary government shutdown because, "most of what we do up here is bad anyway."
A brief glimmer of honesty...

Fitch downgrades U.S. long-term rating to AA+ from AAA
The rating agency cited "expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years."www.cnbc.com
"In Fitch's view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025," the ratings agency said.
"The repeated debt-limit political standoffs and last-minute resolutions have eroded confidence in fiscal management," Fitch said.
Thank you, Republicans, and your shit-for-brains voters.
And Democrats should be speaking about this every day and at every opportunity aaaaannnnnnddddd…..
GQP response:
You underestimate how dumb Americans are. 😛 It's not very complex, but Average Joe isn't going to understand sovereign credit rating and bond borrowing costs. We're so polarized now that virtually the entirety of GOP voters believes the U.S. economy is in the tank already.
Because of a sophisticated right wing propaganda machine that has been going on since the repeal of the fairness doctrine. The fascist right completely took over the radio airwaves, they run cable news, and they control a huge part of local TV news too now via Sinclair.

Yes, lets keep doing what we are doing, because paying for bills with borrowed money is what got us into this mess to begin with.

You’re going to be so mad when you learn what the Republican Party that you continually vote for has been doing for your entire life.
Do we need to post a chart of spending of R vs D President? I’ll give you a hint the charts look bad for Republicans.
