We cannot afford to waste money, so....

Sorry Donald, no wall for you

Sorry Wall Street Richie Riches, no tax cuts for you

Sorry Repeal/Replacers, you just need to repair what we already have ...the ACA

It's high time y'all started acting like grown-ups..

Pie-in-the-sky pipe-dreams are nice & all, but your people have needs, and we should come first.

As pissed off as some us get about the selfishness & pig-headedness of so many red-staters, we cannot ignore the devastation of Houston, and the serious fixes that have to be made before the next storm.

It's the 800 pound gorilla in the room Congress ignores. If we eliminate military waste we have enough for debt free college for the masses that we'll need to compete in a global economy, and we'll have enough to pay for single payer health care.
So why would congress ignore military waste? Real simple. Defense contractors funnel bribes to off shore money laundries for one. Furthermore, if we have single payer health care the insurance lobby is out of business, and thus not sending any more bribe money to certain off shore money laundry accounts. Military waste is the biggest theft of our resources in our history. When a crime is committed, follow the money.
