With Attention on Presidential Contest, GOP Goes on Austerity Rampage
With Attention on Presidential Contest, GOP Goes on Austerity Rampage
One leading Democrat warned Republicans' spending proposals would "demolish public education" and "let corporate price gouging run rampant."
Great. Worked so well the last time we did it. We recovered faster than any other nation and have a lower inflation rate than any other nation, so let's crash the economy with austerity measures.
I'ma need some help. My democracy is isn't doing so hot.
Well, the GOP is the party of "fiscal responsibility" after all... .
Tax and spend is fiscal responsibility. Cutting taxes on the rich and then stating there's not enough money for medicare is not a sound fiscal strategy for anything other than fomenting the demise of the current governmental system.
Oh wait! That's the point!
Drown it in a bathtub my ass. I'll drown a thousand fascists in bathtubs before I let this democracy die.
Yep, the fiscally responsible party that balloons the fuck out of the national debt whenever they are in office and then fear mongers about it when they are not.
By their own logic, Bill Clinton was the most fiscally responsible president in the last like 50 years, but oh well Republicans are extremely good at lying and Democrats are awful at countering said lies.
Isn't your GOP always saying that though, but always spends more?
Yep! But spends it on contractors for the DoD! Not any of that filthy commie shit like education or clean water or... The list goes on and on.
We are electing a King this November thanks to SCOTUS and the GOP.
Is Biden a good King for us? That's what we need to be asking.
I'm down for whoever is on the ticket that isn't trump. If that's Biden, so be it, if it's Kamala, I'm for it. Whatever. Just whoever it is needs to articulate an actual argument against Trump and for themselves with a plan for the future. Freezing in the headlights to a mad man speaking only lies is not the way.
“Austerity” = Take money away from social programs so we can cut taxes for the rich
With much of the public's attention on the looming presidential election and high-stakes jockeying over who will take on Donald Trump in November...
What the fuck is with all of these articles suggesting that there is a real power battle over who will run against Trump at this point? That ship sailed at least six months ago. There isn't nearly enough time to build up a new candidate. If you don't want Trump to become king, get behind the onky other choice we truly have.
Ugh, Trump is going to win because democrats can't hold their fucking noses and vote for their onky other choice.
Great Britain just had an entire election in 6 weeks. There is more than enough time.
There's plenty of time to build up someone else. Plenty.
I'd be a more excited to vote for Josh Shapiro or Michelle Obama or Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or some other good candidate, but I'd vote for Joe Biden any day of the week.
I know nothing about Josh Shapiro, Michelle Obama has stated that she doesn't want the job, I also know very little about Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom is a shit head.
I say this as someone who follows politics more than average. If I don't know much more than the fact that three of the four people you mentioned are governors and the other is a former first lady with no political aspirations, what do you think the general public knows?
I think the identity politics America has played is what has really earned you guys the Trump. It was a dangerous game to play and now the repercussions are becoming known.
It drove such a solid and distinct line with being totally onboard with that shit or else, that now you are in real danger of getting that or else.
It was the stupidest game to play. Canada is following suite, as are a lot of other western nations.
We should austerity away some Republicans.
Good job headline... Helping out these ghouls by using the milquetoast "austerity" rather than, "grandma can fucking choke on cat food for all I care, my yacht needs a yacht, you fucking peasants!"
