How do they explain their LIE that it will not add a penny to the debt when the CBO says it will add $3 trillion?

I guess the answer is that most people are fucking stupid and it doesn't matter what the truth is.

If the bill doesn't pass, the Dem hopefuls can claim it would have been a success.

Actually, the strategy makes a lot of sense, provided that they can be sure that the bill will continue to fail.

This is why I'm not saluting Manchin as a hero. IMHO, he is voting "nay" with the approval of Chuck U. Schumer who sees more political profit in seeing Brandon's bill go down in defeat.

He is voting in the interests of his constituents.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse [generous gifts] from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

A Democracy Cannot Exist As a Permanent Form of Government

This is a warning from Scots Historian Professor Alexander Tyler circa 1787. A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.

This is why the left wants no form of education that is not societal indoctrination.

Most people do pay attention to where the money is going to come from:

And, it is fully paid for and will reduce the deficit by making sure that large, profitable corporations can’t zero out their tax bills, no longer rewarding corporations that shift jobs and profits overseas, asking more from millionaires and billionaires, and stopping rich Americans from cheating on their tax bills. Under this historic agreement, nobody earning less than $400,000 per year will pay a penny more in taxes.

Are any of you making more than $400,000 per year?
Will it affect you?

The Bill was not even signed and we are paying already. One year in on these fraud charlatans who always spew that the worse is going to happen and bring in legislation and laws and edicts that actually cause it or make a situation worse.

They haven't even sold it to Americans yet. Most Americans don't even know what's in it and the majority of Americans are currently against it. This is the same shit that was known during the recent red wave elections and now they want to use the same strategy going into the midterms. Stupid is as stupid does.

No one said that it is not going to cost. The question is how it is going to be paid for which some of you are not looking at and thinking that it is going to come out of those who do not make much each year.

Which is not the case.

Sure, Biden is going to eliminate COVID, cure cancer, and not leave anyone behind in Afghanistan....dumbass.

He never said that, and no one in their right mind who is educated and well informed would suggest that either.

And you call yourself a thinker? When does your thinking start?

Wishful thinking of when and if ever Covid will be beat, and it will someday, and the endless wish that someday cancer will also be a thing of the past.......

Let us also count Alzeimer, and Strokes, Heart Desease, Lou Gehrig disease, etc.....

Some people like to think positively of what it can be.


Afghanistan?
---------

Two weeks ago, Biden had promised to stay until all Americans were out.

"If there's American citizens left," the president said on ABC News, "we're going to stay to get them all out."

But facing terror threats, there was an urgency to stick to the self-imposed end-of-August deadline to get out of Afghanistan. Biden said military, State Department and intelligence officials all urged him to not delay.

"I was not going to extend this forever war," Biden said, "and I was not extending a forever exit."

That doesn't mean the U.S. isn't working to get those Americans out, the president said.

"For those remaining Americans, there is no deadline," Biden said. "We remain committed to get them out if they want to come out."
