Why is democratic leadership not out there saying these things?

Have the Epstein class pay for Epstein Fury. Think they will happily pay for their own war?

You know, if all the Democrats cared they would all be standing next to Sanders in this, but they don’t and they won’t. It’s why people aren’t happy with Democrats.

Healthcare? People cant afford their mortgages, rent, utilities, groceries, and now thanks to domestic nazi, confirmed rapist and child rapist, pedophile, and felon Trump has killed Americans at the pump. Americans are struggling right now just to survive and healthcare is a luxury expense most people cant afford.

Imagine condescendingly lecturing all of America 3 months ago about how we couldn’t possibly afford $38B a year to extend the ACA subsidies for millions of Americans “think of the debt!!”
And then 4 months later low key demanding an extra $200B to pay for President Pedoo-Bonespurs WagTheDog-War of choice, 3 weeks into it.
Make no mistake folks, the hateful, room temp IQ lunatics are in charge of the asylum and Americas permanent decline is accelerating by the day.

We will spend on average $13.5M per death to kill people in the Middle East but we will let our own citizens sleep in the street and deny our children medical care

Republicans can *always* afford to murder.
Stillwater215 on
There are approximately 250 million people in the US over 18. Asking for an extra 200 Billion for the war is asking each one of them for an extra $800 each.

I thought that was intentional, to be honest.
You can’t have a servant caste if they (we) can freely move from job to job. Keeping us in debt means we have no options. Keeping our health care tied to jobs means we have to take whatever slop we can get. Keeping our finances down means we can’t invest in generational wealth and break free from the rent cycle.
It all funnels back to the company store model, by intention.

Did really usa citizens want less war and a national health service like here in Europe?
In over 27 years I haven’t see you vote to this.
Icy_Selection_7988 on
Why not add $50 billion to make it a cold quarter trillion?
Republicans will pass it regardless.
Democrats will watch with a smirk.
All the while us independents are salivating to purge every last one of them.
First we purge every single Republican who helped. Then we purge the Democrats on the next go round once we guarantee Maga, Musk, and the Techs are out.

> We should remember the lies that led us into war in Iraq a generation ago. That war ultimately cost nearly $3 trillion. We must not go down that path again. Our tax dollars should be helping struggling Americans, not feeding new forever wars.
This right here. Instead of feeding and helping our own people they want to spend it on wars
TheCaptainDamnIt on
You can point this out until the end of time but the fundamental problem is conservative voters would far rather spend money to kill non-white/muslims on the other side of the globe than on infrastructure, education, or healthcare here if that means non-white Americans might also receive a benefit of the spending on infrastructure, education, or healthcare here.
PeterVanNostrand on
900 billion isn’t enough? Find ways to cut out other stupid shit from their budget that we don’t need. Better yet, end the pointless war.
TupacBatmanOfTheHood on
$600 a person that’s what they want…I can think of 600 better things to spend that money on.
Memitim on
No joke. I left my corpo job to start a small business, went on the state’s health exchange site, saw the rates, and then signed up for COBRA to save money. I’m now looking into whether my VA benefits are sufficient to avoid needing to get insurance. I’m hoping that our business does better than expected so that I can get insurance again before something goes sideways that might kill us with medical bills, but not counting on it, so basically now in a race to successfully die before becoming ill.
EatRichGrains on
I make maybe 30k a year. Not a week. Not a month a year. After taxes, it’s like I’m living on more like $22,000 a year.
$ 10,000 max out of pocket costs for an individual. Of course, you will be nickel and dimed to death with fees on top of co-pays on top of your monthly premiums that cover little to nothing.

*Yea, that’s great Bernie, but do you have ANY idea how much lobster we can buy with that?!*
2Autistic4DaJoke on
I remember in recent elections when the idea of Medicare for all came around the question was always “how will we pay for it”. Never do we ask that for bombs and missiles.

I’m about to pay thousands in federal taxes to fund a stupid war after paying $500 to speak with my doctor for 15 minutes. I hate this.

“The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labour power without producing anything that can be consumed.”

People dying because they can’t afford a trip to the ER. Medications being rationed because you can’t afford your prescriptions. Families going hungry because SNAP got cut. Kids losing access to free school lunch. That’s just the price of freedom. But at least you can sleep soundly at night knowing we killed a bunch of schoolgirls 6,000 miles away and it’s important we give the Pentagon unlimited money so they can kill more children at home and abroad. ‘Murica!

Sorry, healthcare for the masses doesn’t further enrich the billionaire class. War, however….

This has been the USA modus operandii for decades.
Pentagon- “they wont need healthcare when we send them abroad to die.”

Healthcare? Yeah no I can’t afford healthcare, or my rent, or my utilities, or groceries, or putting gas in my car, I can’t afford to go to the movies, or to buy a pair of shoes, or a bag with a non-broken zipper, there’s a **LOT OF THINGS.**

Why does our military need so much money to not win at wars?

Disabled epileptic here. Over $60 for a tetanus shot. A tetanus shot should be free for everyone.

People actually can’t even afford a sick day
Pravi_Jaran on
Healthcare? Gas? Oh! Bernie! The bar has been lowered even further.
A lot of people are already not able to afford food. Were the growing food banks not enough of a hint for you? You know? A necessity for all.
Suffice it to say. There will be a different kind of “ripping” very soon across all of America.
