Republicans Could Stop Troops & Seniors From Getting Paid
Mitch McConnell & Republicans could cause 50 million seniors to stop receiving Social Security checks & Troops to go unpaid by blocking debt ceiling in 2021
No Title
No Description
Per the above article; “In a matter of days, millions of Americans could be strapped for cash. Nearly 50 million seniors could stop receiving Social Security checks for a time. Troops could go unpaid. Millions of families who rely on the monthly child tax credit could see delays.”
After giving a 2 Trillion Dollar Tax cut to the Rich and spending money like it was going out of style when Trump was President, Republicans are now refusing to increase the debt ceiling which could cause 50 million seniors NOT to Receive their Social Security checks and Troops could go unpaid.
The above video explains how for the past 40 years since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans have been victimizing American using a tactic called the “Two Santa Clauses”, whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as the good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans.
In this way, Republicans are literately punishing Americans for voting for Democrats who are dedicated to helping the middle class and the poor while doing everything possible to make sure Democrats can’t help the middle class and the poor, to make them look like the “Bad Santa Clause”.
Republicans ONLY care about seizing and maintaining power.
Dems Need To Grow A Backbone And Stand Up To GOP Leadership
The Senate passed a bill Thursday night to extend the debt limit through early December, temporarily ending a partisan standoff just 11 days before the government’s deadline to avoid a default. Joe Scarborough shares his thoughts.
The above video describes in detail how Republicans has been using the “run up the debt” strategy since Ronald Reagan was President, then refuse to increase the debt ceiling.
Inventor Of Trickle Down Economics Says Trump’s Tax Plan Is “Dead on Arrival”
David Stockman, the economist who developed the theory of trickle down economics during the Reagan administration, says that Trump’s tax plan is a giveaway to the wealthy elite and that it will result in an economic downturn. Stockman has admitted that his theory of trickle down economics is implausible, and he regrets the damage that his policy has caused this country.
Trump Tax Cuts Add WAY More Debt Than Advertised
“Experts” low-balled the amount of debt the Republican tax plan would entail.
Republicans in Congress have been drifting towards political extremism since long before Trump, and they’re making it impossible for Congress to work the way it’s supposed to.
This video exposes how Republicans are beholden to Corporate interests and jobs being shipped overseas. They have blocked all efforts by Democrats to end tax breaks for companies which outsource jobs.
Trump Rewarded Companies Who Shipped American Jobs Overseas
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he saved American jobs and prevented them from being sent overseas. But the truth is that he’s done nothing to save American jobs, and he coddled the companies which sent our jobs overseas. The Trump administration handed out $425 BILLION in federal contracts to companies who are sending jobs overseas, according to a new analysis.
PROOF: Republicans are the BIGGEST Spenders of Taxpayer Money
As shown in these graphs, Republicans have been responsible for reckless spending and have proven themselves incapable of keeping a balanced budget
According to a Business Insider article “The Truth About Who’s Responsible For Our Massive Budget Deficit”, “Republicans howl that President Obama has exploded the size of federal government spending in his short tenure as President, and it is true that he has increased it. But President Bush actually increased federal spending by more than 2X as much as Obama has.”
The Truth About Who’s Responsible For Our Massive Budget Deficit
Say the words “budget deficit,” and Republicans and Democrats begin screaming at each other about who’s to blame. Republicans howl that the deficit is President Obama’s fault, because he has exploded government spending and failed to fix the economy.
In this chart, the RED lines on the left side – the ones that keep doing DOWN – show what happened to jobs under the policies of Bush and the Republicans. We were losing lots and lots of jobs every month, and it was getting worse and worse. The BLUE lines – the ones that just go UP – show what happened to jobs when the stimulus was in effect. We stopped losing jobs and started gaining jobs, and it was getting better and better.
The leveling off on the right side of the chart shows what happened as the stimulus started to wind down: job creation leveled off at too low a level.
It looks a lot like the stimulus reversed what was going on before the stimulus. We have gone from losing around 850,000 jobs a month to gaining over 200,000 jobs a month.
Conclusion: THE STIMULUS WORKED BUT WAS NOT ENOUGH!
More False Things
These are just three of the false things that everyone “knows” because places like Fox News repeat them over and over and over. Some others are (click through): Obama bailed out the banks, businesses will hire if they get tax cuts, health care reform cost $1 trillion, Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme or is “going broke”, tax cuts grow the economy, government spending “takes money out of the economy.”
Actually This Reduced Spending And Lower Deficit Have Hurt The Economy
Government spending is literally, by definition, the things that government does to make our lives better. People have been tricked into thinking that government spending is somehow bad. The billionaires and giant corporations spread this nonsense around because they are greedy and just want their taxes lower. The top income tax rate used to be more than 90 percent and the top corporate tax rate used to be more than 50 percent. That was back when we built this country’s great infrastructure, had good schools and defended the world against the Soviet Union. We also had higher economic growth and a growing middle class.
Government spending does not “take money out of the economy.” In fact it puts money into the economy, creates jobs and lays the foundation for future prosperity. The decline in government spending shown in the charts above is the reason that the economy remains sluggish and jobs are still hard to get. Just look at that chart showing what the stimulus spending did for the job situation. But since the stimulus ended, Republicans have obstructed every effort to continue to use our government to help our economy.
WASTING TRILLIONS ON THE MILITARY
Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste
The Pentagon has buried an internal study that exposed $125 billion in administrative waste in its business operations amid fears Congress would use the findings as an excuse to slash the defense budget, according to interviews and confidential memos obtained by The Washington Post.
As shown in the above graph, the United States spends more on the military than Russia, China, the UK and 11 more countries COMBINED.
Eisenhower’s Warning: Military Industrial Complex’s Growing Budget
United States military spending has ballooned since World War II, although Americans have historically been reluctant to go to war.
Our military should be used for the DEFENSE of this country only and unless we are attacked, all troops should be brought home… no more using our troops to police the world.
