That was both beautiful, and shameful. An almost empty room of congress people. Shame.

lobbying for the 1st responders. I thought to myself, where is Rudy Ghouliani? It dawned on me.

It has to do with the definitions of capitalism and socialism.

Socialism is when tax dollars go to the poor and middle class.
Capitalism is when tax dollars go to the rich.

Trump was quick to respond to give soy bean farmers tax dollars, not a peep so far that I have heard about 1st responders. Maybe it's because most of them are from NY, a state that didn't vote for Trump?
