LOL..I doubt that they think that. But as France found out, if you diss the poor too much, they'll bring it all down~

But the system predicates a poor class. Without one, capitalism just does not work.

So Bread and Circuses are the order of the day.

..and the dole continues.

Sad that we never learned from the lessons that Rome shows us.

Shows once again that if Republicans want to get things done, they have to work with Democrats

The extreme right will not agree with anything
Every issue is ….My way or the Highway

Balancing the Budget = “extreme right”

America has two daddies now. Kinda woke, isn't it?

So what? Switzerland has 7 presidents.

Regardless.

Not regardless...Spending IS the root....Are you fine with how our money is spent in DC?

Who's borrowing money from the wealthy to help them out with their budget?

I've stated many times I'm for cuts AND tax increases to address the debt

How much of my money should I be able to keep?

 

[pknopp]

How much of my money should I be able to keep?

Sorry, I'm not paid to get to exacts but we spent it, we need to address it, not future generations.

Tax cuts will increase the debt?

Yep without spending cuts

Trump is going to be President
He does not want a pesky debt limit hanging over his head

That’s correct. Just like the dems did with biden.

This again. Aren’t you living off a pension? Aka free money? Aren’t you also getting $$ from SS? Aka free money? Just say thank you

Not when we already know about the corruption, graft, stupidity and disloyalty that preceded Biden.
