Lisa Benson for October 25, 2017

Cut anything that helps most Americans, give tax breaks to the rich and they will kick back money to get you reelected. Its a simple process to steal all the tax dollars.

That’s about right for what they want to spend on “defense”, but that tax cut isn’t one pumpkin, but hundreds of them, all for the 1%.

The Rump and the GOP are embarrassments to US.

You can’t sue your bank anymore either.

Gee, Lisa, I notice you don’t take any responsibility for helping to elect these people. Physician, heal thyself.

Republicans don’t realize that if you want stuff you have to pay for it. Invasions, occupations, and a thousand military bases around the world are costly. You don’t pay for them by reducing revenue.

I heard a Republican congressman yesterday saying that tax cuts will increase revenue because lower taxes will make people less likely to be tax cheats. He actually kept a straight face while saying this.

Tough. Put the spending pumpkin back, please.

The fiscal conservatives lose their ideals, morals and ethics when they have all the control. I’m sure tax cuts for the rich will fix all this.

Republicans run up deficits?

Gosh, Lisa, this has NEVER happened before, right?

Yeah I know. Hillary’s emails. Obama death panels. You had to concentrate on real issues. Like all Trump Disciples.

There is no honor among Thieves!

JLOCKE, when there is a deficit, you don’t increase spending on already bloated DoD and Pentagon and then cut taxes. There is a certain level of taxation needed to support the government. Considering the lightning fast changes to what kind of jobs will be in the economy, the government needs to support higher education (trade schools in addition to college) and put more money in the lower schools; schools in poor districts that have to depend on local taxes are currently screwed. Investments in renewable energy are starting to pay for themselves. Investments in science (like NASA) always paid back more than they cost.

.Yes, both parties spend, but there is a VAST difference in priorities. I don’t think the Dems have done enough to support liberal causes, and they are still too beholden to lobbyists. Let’s get rid of Citizen’s United.

Lisa,

Thank you for sharing your moment of clarity.

The pumpkin patch harvest in this case isn’t going to feed anyone except the GOP and their donors.

Lisa Benson- Are you implying that the politicians you voted for didn’t do what you wanted? Who could have ever imagined that?
