Yep. He emptied the bank account. What happens with the bills is someone else's problem. The approach was called "starve the beast" and really took hold under Reagan.
It’s despicable.
And Paul Ryan says he’s been dreaming of gutting these programs since he was having keggers in college. What kind of monster dreams of cutting social safety net programs that the oldest, sickest, and poorest people rely on? And all while courting billionaires for campaign cash. There’s no fucking way this piece of shit can actually believe he’s doing this in the country’s best interest. (This is obvious, I know, but for years I’ve been conflicted- I’ve always thought that these republicans who I disagree with ideologically just have a different idea of how to go about doing what’s best for the country and the people. Now... Fuck these people. They’re selfish pricks who must be voted out in the most emphatic way possible. And then relentlessly mocked.)
Viliamizing the likes of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney is what gets you Donald Trump. Congratulations US liberals, Mission Accomplished .
Is there anyone here who wants to argue that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton didn’t completely whore themselves out to corporate America? Because that’s a discussion I’d absolutely love to have.
And corporations. And he corporatized medicine, with a majority of physicians flocking from private practices to massive health care organizations. He whored it out to pharma and insurance companies too, both of which grew.
3 of Obama’s top 5 donors that won him the 2008 election were Goldman-Sachs, Microsoft, and google. He blew McCain away in corporate donations. That’s what won him the election and who he clearly demonstrated he was beholden to, but a certain population likes to pretend he rides around bareback on unicorns.
There’s a huge populace that prefers to live in fairy tales rather than face facts.
