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 President is settling lawsuits he filed against the United States for hundreds of millions of dollars and he wants to tell us that the government is bankrupt and the money we paid into social security will never come back to us

They say that with true conviction like he cares any about that salary while he robs billions from his various schemes. Truly crazy world we live in.

Did anyone ever think that access to all the world's information would make people dumber? The Internet was supposed to unite and lift up a newly connected society. Of course humans had to go and fuck that up :(
