    And yet what do the Dems have? More hand outs and spending? Pretend soak the rich speeches? Subsidies for health insurance under a program called the Affordable Care Act with is nothing close to affordable. Clearly a failure. From a fiscal perspective we're doomed either way.

    "We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare - and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!"

    "It's a set of promises for what I'll do in my first 100 days. It includes getting rid of immediately Obamacare, which is a disaster,"

    "We're going to have insurance for everybody," Trump said in a January 2017 interview before being sworn in, adding, "I am going to take care of everybody... Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now."

    "I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days. I have a long time," he said in March 2017, seemingly backtracking on the timeline after initial legislative efforts failed.

    "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated," he remarked during a meeting with governors in February 2017. 

  2. This is way more alarming IMO

     

    Many conservatives are quick to denounce handouts to the poor. However, the United States actually spends a lot of money on handouts to rich companies. As The Hill writes, “What these criticisms of proposed reforms for wealth inequality fail to recognize is that socialism for the wealthy not only exists, but is prevalent throughout our current system of government in the form of corporate socialism” (3). The Hill continues saying, “Companies that have failed in the marketplace stick the taxpayers with their losses, but when they make money they get to keep it, and secondly, huge amounts of capital are given to companies by taxpayers…” (4) Our current system is broken, and as I mentioned in my other article, “Capitalism is Broken,” I have made it abundantly clear that these systems put in place are meant to help the rich and leave the rest of America wondering how to recover financially. While CEOs and billionaires are continuing to gain wealth even during a pandemic as millions of people are out of work, it makes you wonder if maybe if our loss is actually their gain.

    The president delivered a campaign-style speech to West Point cadets, touting his election “mandate” and how it “gives us the right to do what we want”.  Are those terrifying words?  Or is he just a politician trolling.  I think Mamdani is just trolling you.  LOL.

    Donald Trump Is a Commie

    Trump wants to build nuclear power plants.

    He has chosen Westinghouse to build them.

    He will pay Westinghouse $80 billion for the projects.

    In return he has compelled Westinghouse to pay him the government 20 percent of any “cash distributions.”

    Between now and the end of January 2029, the government can compel Westinghouse to go public via an IPO, at which point the government will be awarded 20 percent ownership of the company, likely making it the single largest shareholder.

    This is literally seizing the means of production. But to, you know, make America great again. Or something.
