passes overwhelmingly and fast, no talk. This is not just a military spending bill, its the largest ever in the history of our military and it's a supplementary budget between funding cycles.

What do they know that we don't? No scrutiny whatsoever.

It's not strange at all. The GOP gave up the idea of fiscal responsibility in 1980 when it sold out the middle class and started the greatest theft of resources ever in the history of man, reallocating almost everything in this country to the very few at the very top.

Taxing the fuckk out of us while privatizing everything and giving the rich our tax dollars is what we do, and defense spending is the worst example of it.

Why idiots keep voting for this actual Socialism while wringing their hands and hiding under rocks worrying about pretend Socialism is a testament to not only how good they are at doing it, but how stupid most Americans are.

Fish on...

Yea lets blame it on Reagan beathead

From the article, "The vote was 359-49, with 137 Democrats joining all but three Republicans to pass the fiscal 2019 defense appropriations bill."

And how exactly would that vote have gone if it was Hillary's WH??

About the same, I would guess. They are all in the pockets of the ultra-rich, they are the ultra-rich in many cases, and the ones who aren't are owned by the ultra-rich.

Privatization, Citizens United, no term limits, and voters who support these things are the problem.

Fish on...

Eh...I'd contend we gave up the idea of fiscal responsibility when we started printing fiat money for the central bankers to control.

Also, it costs a lot of money for new Space Force hats, tees and bumper stickers.

Easily. The love affair with Reagan was dumb enough at the time, but the continuation of it when it's clear that his policies led directly to the biggest theft of resources that has demolished the middle class is kind of mind boggling.

Privatization was intended to do one thing, and it has done it admirably well...to take our tax dollars and give them to rich individuals.

Fish on...

Well obviously I have a difficult time understanding.

Would you be so kind to explain to me how someone who hasn't been POTUS for 30 years and has been dead for 15 has something to do with a defense bill that was passed with massive bi-partisan support last month. I mean it's not so hard so should only take a sentence or two.

It is obvious . Nothing I say will change your mind,because you already have it made up, as is evidenced by your side stepping of the comments mentioned.







There,that was 2 sentences.
