“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread ... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."”
— Isaac Asimov

@TheFive @HaroldFordJr Yet, if it was between a DSA member and republican, he would vote for the DSA member instead of just abstaining

@Budgetdog_ In the mid 90s I was willing to forgo all claim to SS contributions already made if the tax would go away for my future earnings. I was turned down

@def_leppar20044 Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear.

@nico_1771 @ZubyMusic You could cut the military by 75% and completely eliminate Medicaid and you still wouldn’t come close to cutting spending enough. You’d still have a deficit of over a half a trillion a year.

@tatertot515 @Disgrusting @NickJFreitas He’s purposely being obtuse

[Michael Lyons @gmlyons2]

@Disgrusting @NickJFreitas You know what it would take to balance the budget? A 75% reduction in military spending and a 100% reduction in Medicaid and foreign aid….and that’s still not enough. So he does know, people will never go for what needs to be done

@someathat @attackdogX Time for the councilors to resign. Might have to persuade them

[Michael Lyons @gmlyons2]

You people suggesting raised taxes or cut fraud are idiots. Let’s do this. Let’s cut the military in half. Eliminate Medicaid and eliminate all foreign aid. Do you think this would balance the budget? it still won’t. You hate the messenger. That’s it. What she said is correct. And what she says about you guys not willing to do what needs to be done to cut costs is also correct.
