Tom Crutchfield Unfortunately they are so dense - the horrible, disgusting, deplorable Republican party of all evil - they would NOT know the truth if it hit them in the face. People that are actually voting for these Ba.....s are just as disgusting and deserve whatever their party (republican) is dishing out to them!! Whatever it is, it definitely won't help YOU, might it be healthcare, seeking employment, being safe in your neighbourhood - you are on your own if you rely on the republican party!! That is their platform, simple as it is, "regular folk" are not even on their radar!!

Debra Gilstrap Willmon Yep. Only Congress has the authority to spend, and spend they do - both Republican and Democrats.

Think about this: FY2019 (pre-covid) Federal spending was about $4.45T. While I understand, to an extent, there needed to be spending to address the pandemic, Congress is likely to authorize spending something on the order of $6.8T for FY2024. That's an increase in spending of over 50% in five years, far exceeding any rate of inflation over that period.

The reason for the continued spending levels? Simple, any "one time" emergency spending invariably gets baked into the spending baseline (it's actually called the budget baseline, but Congress gave up passing actual budgets decades ago. But I digress). "One time" spending is the gift that keeps on giving.

The two parties bank on voters and the general public focusing on the politics e.g. Democrat vs Republican, Liberal vs Conservative, Trump vs Biden, etc. while they just bumble along buying votes via the income tax code and driving the national debt to the moon.

Something has to change and I sure hope we'll get a new generation of elected leaders that have the guts to put sound governance ahead of politics. Recent polls show that about two thirds of voters don't want to see Trump or Biden run again, and I couldn't agree more. We have about 330M people in this country, surely those two are not the best choices.


Bully!!! look into this... Activist and right-wing host Charlie Kirk incited viewers to use financial “force” and “pain” to punish Target over their Pride collection — which activists like Kirk have waged a campaign of threats and falsehoods against.

Why are people like Charlie Kirk, inciting violence against Target and the LGBTQ community? They are people like you. Aren't you ashamed? May 25, 2023 TYT Clip of the Day
Activist and right-wing host Charlie Kirk used his platform to incite violence at Target for its pro-LGBTQIA+ merch, and social media influencers were happy to oblige.
