As a person with no children and unaffordable cancer medications that I am basically fucked into a corner to be in poverty on medicaid to afford...
These people are fucking worse than my god damned cancer. So because I have no children my cancer just should magically not be a problem and I need to have proof of work?
I want to fucking scream but it does nothing to help. I have a mouth and I must scream but if nobody hears it does it even matter? I will die as just another statistic, a number to be forgotten. To be fair, that's all my life has ever been in this fucking shithole country.
- Can you absolutely fuck off with this shit? Please stop telling people who are literally in pain and suffering every god damned day that they should throw it all away because "they have nothing to lose."
  Why don't some of you pussy ass able bodied people step up for us, asshole? Oh because you still have something to lose? Grow a pair and stand up for people who are suffering when you aren't.
  Asking people suffering to step up for you because you're too much of a pussy to stand up for them. What a fucking travesty of a joke. Get a grip. I hope you end up with "nothing to lose" so you can hear people tell you the same.
  
  Sorry you got censored.
  Hopefully we can get better communities that don't abuse their power to support mob mentalities.
To clarify, btw, gutting medicaid still doesn't give them enough to reverse the deficit increase caused by his tax cuts. The only way to balance the budget is to
a) tax the rich
or
b) to cut some combination of Military, Medicare, and Social Security.
- We know it ain't gonna be the military. It'll be social security first, then medicare.
  
  I just don't see it happening at all without military, tbh. Republicans probably don't even care about deficit.
- Don’t forget selling off public lands to billionaire elites for their mountain villas
  
  A couple billion seems pretty pointless, and Trump already undid a lot of the land protections from the Biden era, so if that were the play they certainly didn't hold out for good offers.
- To clarify further, they absolutely do not give a flying fuck.
- That's the point. They can't ever possibly fill the hole because they keep digging it deeper. It's bottomless at this point until tax revenue dries up because we all died.
  Tldr: gop + starve the beast/regulatory capture + the entire us government
- We don't need to balance the budget anually. It needs to be in balance within the cycle which is typically much longer than a year.
Any voiceless demographics oppose? No? Motion passes.
- Republicans later: Why are the peasants so mad when I hold town halls??
  
  Republicans later: Why are the ~~peasants so mad~~ Democrat Marxists dressing up as farmers and protesting when I hold town halls??
  FTFY
Any day now, prosperity will come trickling down.
- Is prosperity supposed to be yellow and smell like asparagus?
And Americans still won't do a general strike... "wE aRE noT TheRE yET!"
Tax cuts for the rich and tax increases for everyone else.
