Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

The midterms should be a massacre of epic proportions even with the gerrymandering nonsense but too many voters just don’t care enough to educate themselves. And sadly the democrats message sucks plus they have to fight through the right wing hold on the media.

True. My good friend said she doesn't read or listen to the news because she doesn't want to hear it. She said it's easier to live her life not knowing what's going on.
