This country is fucked. Considering we were running trillion dollar deficits with a hot economy, any sane person could tell you this was the time to raise taxes and cut spending and instead we’re jacking up the deficit even further. Won’t be long before we hit a crisis—interest payments on the debt being more than we can pay, the bond market revolting (meaning, get ready for much higher interest on everything, causing a big recession, which increases deficits further).
We chose this, over the past decades and especially in2024. Hard to have pride in a country that stupid. We had time to turn this around but nope, we needed a demented celebrity rapist and the sight of citizens being kidnapped by masked thugs was just too enticing.
Good deep dive on all this, PTG. And yes, being free to call balls and strikes is such a statement of privilege and abdication of any personal responsibility. I wonder, is kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps a ball or a strike? Hope he enjoys sipping juleps with the wife, kids, grandkids, golf buddies, and so on.
"Primary against ‘Senator Thom’ Tillis. I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America.”
If you're just going to endorse another motherfucking republican don't waste your time
I pay out of pocket for everything. Once the mom of a friend learned this in conversation, and she said "you're making all of our bills higher." I said "No, you have an insurance company bargaining for lower prices, I am subsidizing you." She got very quiet. After that, she would make sure I was invited to come around when she was in town. She said I was smart and that I helped her see why we need a national healthcare system.
I’ve said it from the start. IF elected officials had to use ACA as well, it would be a lot more comprehensive and never subject to being destroyed. Again the ole I got mine.
Yeah I wish that Tillis would switch parties since it appears he may actually have a heart beating somewhere. The most common reason may be that DC has become even more toxic than ever with this new regime. Maybe just maybe he knows that if these people are ever ousted then they’ll all be held accountable and the same claim the Nazis made, I was just following orders, wasn’t really a good defense.
Same sort of hero as Jeff Flake, who made sure we got a thorough investigation to that drunky rapist Brett Kavanaugh.

Ah he pulled a R-Money. Wonder if he will have an after-the-fact tell-all book to cash in on.
Tillis is not a hero, but not quite a zero, like most repubs.
"At least he'll still have health care in his retirement."
Which WE are paying for and which is more than many Americans can say.

I'm still subsidizing her.

But that’s just me.
