except the working poor and middle class, especially ten years from now when the bill comes due.

They also say the economy is going gangbusters but also needs a stimulus. Crazy.

Dems are in power. Rs will absolutely point to the Democrats as the reason when it does and their dipshit "constituents" will sop it up like pigs at a trough.

If Trump increases the chocolate ration from 30 grammes per week to 20, there will be spontaneous demonstrations in the street thanking Big Brother for his benevolence.

If Obama were to promise to increase the ration from 30 grammes to 65, but only actually increased it to 60, there would be riots in the street about his cutting the ration by five grammes per week. No one would notice that they were really getting twice as much chocolate.
