What You See Is What Republicans Don't Want You To Get

[skews13]

It’s easy to see when someone does something that benefits us, but sometimes we neglect to take note of those who tried to stop that good stuff from happening.

That’s glaringly apparent when we look at the U.S. Congress where, for the most part, Democrats promote policies that help people, while Republicans oppose them because they’re counterproductive to their pro-rich, anti-poor-and-middle-class agenda.

President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill passed the House by a vote of 228-206, but it would’ve died without the help of some Republicans. Six Democrats voted against the bill, but 13 Republicans backed it, allowing the measure to make the 218-vote threshold needed for passage.

Still, 200 Republicans voted against it. The tally for Senate approval was 69-30.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act passed 220-207 in the House and 51-50 in the Senate (with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote), both times along party lines.

The question now is: Will Democrats be able to craft effective messaging on the Republican efforts to styme things that benefit both individuals and their communities? Will GOP cries of “socialism,” “socialist Democrats,” “extremist Democrats,” and whatever else they can think of be seen by enough people as so much Right-wing bullshit.

I don’t know the answer to those questions, but I do know that it never hurts to show the various constituencies the real consequences of their elected officials’ votes.

So why all the complaints about the inflation caused by Biden's spending? No matter who proposes massive government spending the people themselves ensure that most of it will eventually end up in the pockets of the rich.

And if you think it's bad now wait until the bills start coming in from the relentless invasion, by Biden's invitation, of the illegals.

The bill was not paid for and that is going to hurt future generations bad.

 

[BluesLegend]

Democrats promote policies that help people

Dem policies jacked up the cost of everything, sky high inflation, sky high energy, sky high interest rates that completely screwed the poor and middle class. Well you did gift $138 billion to rich white kids to pay off their student loans.

As far as I am concerned both halves of The Firm can get the fuck out of my life....A pox on both their houses.

I'm damn tired of them chipping away at our freedoms and to add insult to injury taxing the fuck out of the producers of our society to buy votes from the deadbeats to boot.

The freaking Country is falling apart. It took Biden three years to visit the site of a (preventable) train disaster that happened on his watch. Secret spending bills with hidden agendas are a dime a dozen with the current regime. All republicans want is an honest government led by a rational leader.

“That’s glaringly apparent when we look at the U.S. Congress where, for the most part, Democrats promote policies that help people, while Republicans oppose them because they’re counterproductive to their pro-rich, anti-poor-and-middle-class agenda.”

Republican foreign policy is likewise reprehensible and wrong – the right’s unwarranted opposition to assistance to Ukraine being a glaring example, and their willingness to appease and capitulate to the fascist Putin.

Comprehensively, Republicans have contempt for sound, responsible government.

The world economy kind of sucks, yet the US economy is pretty stellar.

That stellar US economy is all Biden's doing.

Biden can't spend money. Only Congress can.

There are no bills from illegals. No money can legally be given to them. It would all be charitable. In fact if you put those people to work, GDP increases along with tax revenue. Immigration is a net gain.

The tax cuts given to the rich, first by Reagan, then Bush, then Trump, is the total sum of the national debt. Normal spending the country does every year in the budget, has nothing to do with it.

When you cut taxes on the rich, and corporations, that used to pay 65% of all taxes in aggregate, and is no longer the case. The money in lost revenue that would pay for normal anual spending, now has to be borrowed, and paid back with interest.

Cutting normal anual budget spending solves nothing. If you cut the entire budget, you solve nothing. If you deported evey illegal tomorrow, you solve nothing.

Want to get rid of the debt, and unnecessary spending?

Get rid of the Reagan, Bush, Trump, trickledown tax cuts, and both go away. You're not going to get it from the working class or the poor.

Eliminate all tax payer subsidies to any corporation, for any reason.

Freeze the bloated, immoral military budget.

Raise the income limit, and include capital gains, on Social Security, and Medicare.

Impose a 1 cent per Waal St. transaction every day.

We would be in surplus in about 5 years.

The problem you have is Libertarian billionaires that think they are entitled to privatize the government that is all of us, and force us to pay them for everything.

Which you can add to the to do list. Round up, and hang all of the Libertarian billionaires, and seize all of their assets. Perfectly doable. Nothing radical about it.

Anybody that believes for a minute that any benefit the working class and poor get from normal government spending is the problem, is a complete moron, that shouldnt be commenting on anything economy.

“That’s glaringly apparent when we look at the U.S. Congress where, for the most part, Democrats promote policies that help people…”

It’s true – Democrats pursue legislation that will benefit the American people, the Inflation Reduction Act and its infrastructure provisions being an example, an Act that was necessary and non-partisan.

Yet Republicans opposed addressing the infrastructure for purely partisan reasons – unwarranted, irresponsible opposition.

Bullshit democrats pursue power and control like the anti rights fascist they are.

Please show ne anywhere in the US Constitution that indicates it is the role of the Government to assist individual citizens….

and NO “general welfare and common defense” DO NOT indicate such a mandate or power.

Actually they do. The literal meaning.

The governed only do so with the consent of the governed. In a government that is the people.

FDR was popularly elected four times by the people, precisely because of the New Deal policies he put forward, based precisely because of that Constitutional basis.

Those policies are still just as popular, and relevant today.

The largest economic expansion in the history of the country occurred between 1948-1975.

The national debt was $400 bIllion.

The top tax margins were avoided because companies reinvested into the company, which paid for employees pensions. It was illegal for a company to buy back it's own stock.

The country, as well as the companies, and their shareholders were doing just fine.

What changed?

The Reagan tax cuts, the increase of military spending, the repeal of anti trust laws.

The debt and deficit quadrupled in one year.

With those same policies in place for the last 40 years, the debt has now ballooned to $32 trillion, the military budget is over $1 Trillion now, because of the aid to Israel, which isn't aid to Israel, but backdoor money that goes to the military R&D done out of sight of the American tax payers. Which is another thread, and there are motions in place to end that permanently. Fuck Israel.

The American working class want their money back that was stolen from them. And we're going to take it.

Just another proof that the American voter is an imbecile who shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Second worst POTUS in our history, after Lincoln.

They’re still just as WRONG today as they were back then. Popular or not.
