And remember our elderly does not have guaranteed meals on wheels.
Or we now do not have funds for children’s cancer research.

Not one dang dime cut from social services until Defense budget cut by at least 25%.

The reason we are trillions of dollars in debt is because of unfunded Republican tax cuts for the wealthy going back to at least W. We need to raise taxes on income, capital gains and social security.

Isn’t that what your family does? Get a second or third job (or sell stuff) to make ends meet?

This isn’t hard, folks! It’s a damn disgrace seniors and kids will go hungry while Bessent, Bezos, Thiel and others laugh at us.
