Why is it the GOP that is keeping the impeachment discussion alive?

You, pal, are not a god. You do not know the first thing about my thinking. You are obtuse, judgmental, and basically stupid. No pronouncements you make about me are correct.

You don't even understand your own thinking...

*cough*Obamacare*cough*

Originated from The Heritage Foundation and was essentially a scaled-up version of the program that Mittens Romney initiated in his state. It was great for Big Insurance but did fuckall to fix 'Murica's health "care" system.

The only thing it's an example of is Obummer's corporatism.

I don't like the Heritage Foundation so this is not a defence of it.... simply the background.

Nope. The government doesn't fund shit; taxpayers do.

Taxes don't fund anything in a fiat monetary system. Congress creates dollars through appropriations and taxes delete money from circulation; taxes exist primarily to ensure a steady demand for dollars (needed to pay taxes) and thus prop up the currency's valuation.

Taxes have been weaponized like everything else in a predatory capitalist system and part of that weaponization is the Big Lie that any/everything is "taxpayer funded". That's only an excuse *not* to spend money on programs to benefit citizens instead of transferring wealth to oligarchs and the military industrial complex.

There's always a blank check for more war or to bail out wall street but programs to improve the lives of citizens are constantly stonewalled with the ol' "how ya gonna pay for that?" bullshit. An exhausted scared and desperate populace is easier to control and less likely to revolt.

If you listen very carefully, you should be able to hear the head nurse announce tapioca pudding, Jello cups, and Rusk wafers being served in the Sun Room....
