Piker's statement — that the US has conducted more terror than al-Qaeda — is factually correct.
Violent activities by al-Qaeda pale in comparison to the number of innocent people killed by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, the number of regimes the US has overthrown in support of repressive forces, and the genocide the US is currently sponsoring.
the us must restrain itself after this quagmire in hormuz. we must take the reigns of this dying empire, manage its retreat & focus on rebuilding our country rather than exhausting all our productive output on militarism overseas for profit and plunder at the behest of capital
Ted. Look at our deficit. Look at how much we pay in interest every minute of every day. Look what that is doing to interest rates.
It’s Econ 101, you either have to raise revenue significantly, cut spending, significantly. Or both.
Talarico committed to support the Break Up Big Medicine Bill. That was a pre requisite for my doing the event with him this week.
If this Hawley/ Warren bill passes, we would reduce the deficit. We would cut costs for patients. Drug pricing would drop like a rock.
Yet not a word from you in support Ted. Why ?
A true capitalist would understand how these economics work. They wouldn’t ignore the fact that our debt levels pull money away from business. And consumers.
If you truly want to do what is best for business, and the economy, we are going to have to raise taxes and cut spending.
The best place to cut spending is by removing the HealthCare middlemen that are Too Big To Care, which is exactly what the Break Up Big Medicine Bill does
You ready to whip up support among republicans ? Or do you prefer people dying because they can’t afford care , and the economy continuing to slow down because we are having to print money to financial engineer our debt obligations.
What say you Ted ?
