"Have They All Lost Their Collective Minds?"

Have they all lost their collective minds? Look I get that some people are leaning Democrat versus Republican and vice versa and that’s fine, but what exactly are voters getting? If, on the one hand, you think Democrats tax and spend too much you get Republicans on the other hand who cut taxes with disproportional benefit to the top 1% and then spend even more. Fiscal conservatives? Please.

In early February the US government was already scheduled to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year.

A week later and that figure is already out the door as this week both parties agreed to expand spending caps seemingly preparing for World War III.

I am tied of people complaining about Defense spending. Why are these same people not complaining about the billions the US gives away in Foreign aide and the military expense occurred in these Countries? Why are we making these groups of political leaders rich while people starve? Why are we borrowing this money to give away, while US Citizens are dying right here in the US? People complain about housing in these Countries but do nothing about US homeless? Why does the US borrow money to give to the unappreciative and screw over US Citizens in the same situation? No More Foreign Aide until the US is supporting their own needy.

Two sides of the same coin. Left / Right is a false paradigm designed to confuse the population.
