    “They care not what it costs. If we can’t afford it than we are unsustainable and deserve to be brought done for the ideals are more important than a country or a nation. Their loyalty is to the ideology not the USA or its people.” This is the GOP, party and corporations before country and citizens.

    There are so many things wrong with your conservative ideology, Gorrell. First and foremost is your understanding that giving away all our tax revenue to corporations helps our country. Your understanding of Democratic Socialism is just as insane. Just try listening beyond the label you so vilify.

    The Same Cartoon From Lisa Benson as From Bob Gorrell: So I will give you the same response. The RWNJ do not have a original thought in their collective conscious .

    Again with the Socialism? (Insert RWNJ Name Here______), Do you have voodoo dolls on your bedroom shelf marked “Democratic Socialist” Do you have night mares of poor people getting health care? Does Social Security give you the night sweats? Did you argue with your high school teacher that the New Deal was Communism re-branded? I just don’t seem to understand your abject hatred for what is in the Constitution PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE

    Gorrell, have you noticed the massive increase in the Republican deficit?

    Why do Trump Disciples have to lie about every issue?

    The “Democrats will create more red ink” meme is getting a little thin. It is always republicans that increase spending. They just lower taxes and borrow money to make up the difference. Of course, it is never an increase in anything that helps Americans directly. It’s usually another war or military increase.

    Ahem, Gorrell, but we are on track for the fiscal year 2019 (starting October 2018) to have a deficit of $985B, then a rise to over 1 trillion in 2020, and continue for the next ten years. This is up from $587B the last year of Obama’s presidency (down from a high of $1.4T in 2009, one year after Dubya left office). And you have the unmitigated nerve to put this on the Democrats????

    So it’s the Socialists currently increasing the deficit at rates not since since Reagan?

    When the government gives money to poor people it is called socialism when the government gives money to rich people it is Fascism. Which of the two extremes are we closer to?

    The only “jackass” on the page (other than “never correct”) is Gorrell, who is busy pandering to the other “stable genius”.

    The Red Ink comes from cutting taxes on the rich and then borrowing money to make up the deficit.

    Republicans need to take a remedial math class.

    The red ink is coming from the Repub / Trump stupid tax cut. Then they plan to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to pay for that debt / deficit.

    Democratic Socialism costs can be covered. Improving healthcare lowers costs. Educating people in colleges or trade schools improves the economy and stimulates innovation.

    Offering college and trade school education can be covered by implementing a tiny tax on financial transactions. This was in the plan laid out by Bernie. This will also make the market more stable by discouraging lightning-quick automated trades which have caused crashes.

    Medicare for all will eliminate the biggest expenses in insurance-based health care – executives and administrative costs. Emergency room visits will be reduced if people can see a doctor for regular visits instead of having to wait until they are critical. Add in price controls of medications so you don’t have EpiPens shooting up in price right after they approved for use in all schools and crooks like Skreli pushing up the price of Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 PER PILL.

    The appearance of the Tea Party Movement in the early 2000s and the Occupy Movement about a decade later signaled the deterioration of the two major American political parties. The Democrat base is adrift and disorganized, and under serious pressure from the Left, while the Republican base has lost sight of its conservative ideals under the populist pressure of Trumpists. Notably lacking from either major party is any push for fiscal responsibility or restraint.
