You, Mr. Speaker, are more than happy to spend “money we don’t have” as long as it’s on tax cuts for the very wealthy or subsidies for your corporate donors. The only ones you want to pay any sacrifice for your ill begotten notion of “fiscal responsibility” are the poor and disadvantaged.

Just got off the phone with the president while he’s out of the country. My position has not changed. Washington cannot continue to spend money we do not have at the expense of children and grandchildren. Tomorrow, he and I will meet in person to continue negotiations.

Somehow we always have billions 💰 extra for the military war complex but not for people, education or universal health 🤔 That goes for both parties.

You got that right hun. Americans are angry about our programs for the needy being held hostage to fund the wealthy tax cuts.
Replying to @marwilliamson
A tax cut isn't spending. People aren't state property. You aren't against subsidies, you're coercive green fascism is 100% subsidized.

That’s just a narrative Marianne; it’s all part of divide & rule. Why are you allowing yourself to go there? From what I know about you, you’re better than that! Blessings 🤗

Sad to say, but I have no confidence in Biden & his response to McCarthy & his gang in Congress. Biden has a history of compromising & throwing the working class & poor under the bus😳🤨

The Democrats and Republicans can do what they want. They have millions of indoctrinated Americans who will follow their party through the pits of hell. The parties sit as 39 million Americans whither in poverty. Throwing tidbits to appease the few then take them away later.
