Republicans are always harping about the deficit.
But President Biden's budget would fund Medicare for the next decade—while reducing the deficit by $3 trillion.
$3 trillion.
Our President, Joe Biden, handled himself admirably & I am proud to have voted for him. Count on me voting for him again. Who's with me? Please respond by saying "Aye". (Retweet, too)
I am so tired of republicans comparing their inconveniences to the Holocaust.
Here is Eric Burlison’s DC office phone number. Let him know how disgusting he is.
(202) 225-6536
@Acyn Speaker McCarthy doesn’t control events. Events control him. And by events, I mean the lunatics who gave him the gavel. He’s not a policy wonk. He’s not an intellectual. He’s just a political animal. And yes, he’ll tank the economy if it means he gets to maintain power.
@Acyn McCarthy will Showboat this until the 11th hour! And then Republicans like to act like there's some hero when they finally do have to approve anyways like they should have done 6 months before!
@Acyn He doesn’t even have control of his own party. Commitment means nothing. He’s a liar! Listening to him talk out of both sides of his mouth is pathetic
@Acyn No, he won't commit that the United States won't default on its obligations. The Republicans will happily turn us into a third world country in an instant by defaulting on our fiscal obligations to the world. They don't care what it takes to take totalitarian control.
@Acyn McCarthy won't commit to pay bills Trump ran up. Reagan raised the deficit $78.9 billion to $152.6 billion. Bush 41 got it to $290.3 bil. Clinton left w a $128.2 billion surplus. Bush 43 got to $1.41 trillion. Obama decreased it to $584.6 billion. Trump’s got it to $6.7 trillion.
"Why don’t the Republicans focus on a real global threat—the rise of authoritarianism across the world," Waters said, citing Putin + Kim Jong Un.
"These are real threats, Mr. Chairman.... And notably...your leader Donald Trump has actually praised all of these authoritarians."
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) tries to defend the GOP's resolution warning of the ills of socialism.
Reschenthaler: You can't condemn socialism? You know what Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi have in common, right?
Waters: "Donald Trump."
😂😂
Reschenthaler: "Trump? North Korea, China & Russia?"
Waters: "He loves Kim Jong Un ... who is condemned in the resolution. Re: NK leader Kim Jong Un, he said Kim 'wrote me beautiful letters & they're great letters & we fell in love.' You sure you wanna hear the rest of this?"
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) just formally testified to the Republican-led House Rules Committee that the real threat to democracy is House Republicans.
😂
Waters told the committee "the American public is going to wonder why Republicans are wasting our time today" with a resolution warning against socialism when everyone knows "the biggest threat to our democracy" was on Jan. 6, 2021.
