@dietotaku those biggest government programs are funded by payroll taxes (but only up to a certain threshold of income), so cutting them is not, in any way, going to "balance the budget". the ONLY reason they want to cut them is so they don't have to pay back the money illegally borrowed from the programs to fund wars in the Middle East
It is increasingly more despicable that the media in the USA is not calling out these false equivalences, terribly ironic since they will be the ones who suffer in totalitarianism.
of course cutting Social Security & Medicare is a non-starter! those programs already fail to meet the needs of the people who depend on them as it is. and of course raising taxes on most Americans is also a bad idea, the rich are the ones flush with cash, why can't they foot the bill? much as I wish we could cut military spending that's obviously not happening either. so what "real solution" are you looking for, you sociopathic fucks?
this is conservative wishcasting, which tells me all I need to know about how actually terrified they are of a rematch against Dark Brandon. if Trump won because he turned "deplorable" from an insult to an identity, Biden's already done the same - openly embracing and laughing at every pathetic jab the right can cook up.
@dietotaku The 'paper of record' is becoming the 'paper you wrap dead fish in.'
fuck twitter, fuck mastodon, fuck post.news and FUCK threads
