Is this a joke or what WTF. That was my gift to you. An editorial by Kimberley Strassel that slammed the bill and Republicans voting for it. It also highlighted the excessive spending under the leadership of Madame Pelosi, Mr Trump and Mr McConnell.

I also said I agreed with the editorial and Lusty Lad probably did too. Maybe you recall me suggesting that might be a Kumbaya moment in the eccie political forum.

It’s like you didn’t even unwrap my gift and just threw it in the trash. If I knew how to insert a sad smiley Face I’d do that right here.

What I wanted to highlight is that Bernie Sanders is against it too.

Would it be fair of me to say , "You sound a lot like Bernie Sanders!"

Remember, our gubment doesn't do anything for the people. They only do whatever puts money into their pockets. This bill stinks and I'm sorry some repubs voted for it.

How much is Nancy P and her Hubby going to make out of this?
As corrupt as the Biden Cartel is, they may be minor leaguers compared to the millions that Madame Speaker rakes n with her insider trading scam.

I'm giving them a taste of their own medicine.

I'm about as much of a Bernie lover as they are...they just do not want to acknowledge the harm in mounting income inequality.

Instead we should be helping the disadvantaged to get a leg up, for example with better schools, lower health care costs, and yes, programs like DeSantis’, only larger.

You know why I’m bringing your attention to the fact that the “inequality” exists because of poor Americans? That our middle class is prosperous? Because I pulled that out of Saez and Zucman’s book. I’m reading it. They’re biased and completely full of shit about a lot of things, but they’re right about that.

I never said I didn't want those poor kids to get a free buck or two.

I have said we need to pay for these "free" programs. You've been programmed by Ronnie Reagan to just put it on the credit card!

I never said our middle class is not prosperous vs most othe countries.

I've pointed out it is shrinking and our inequality is rising....which is never a good thing.

This idiotic notion that tax cuts are the solution to every problem ignores the Laffer Curve. Which is why income inequality is increasing.

Oh and Trump gave midstreams and REITs a break in 2017!

Republicans should have held the line and said there will be nothing more done in Congress till after the Nov. elections with perhaps the exception of a "clean" veterans bill which the Democrats will not support.


There isn't a single bill proposed by Democrats that isn't dominated with climate change provisions. While necessary some time in the distant future, all this climate spending has to stop and the only way to do that is kick Democrats out of office.
