The cost to fund these programs was less than 1% of the federal budget. Marco Rubio once called it the best money we've ever spent and wanted it increased.
Start to calculate deaths added by funding cuts to programs in our own country, and the number just gets larger.
But, to quote Republican Senator Joni Ernst, "Everybody dies."
Or check out the film David posted a clip of Executive Action, the herd must be thinned. Got to have a culling. Why weep for them?
And where does the money cut from these programs go? To pay for the tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% in our country. The big donor class. Not going to help any working Americans, nope. Not going to cancer research, nope, that was cut, to give that money to the wealthiest people in the country. Not going to improve our healthcare system, that's been slashed. That money too, goes to the wealthiest 1% because they need tax cuts more than the people of this country need healthcare.
What about those tariffs? Those will make us all rich, won't they? No, those will be a tax that Americans will have to pay, that will drive up their cost of living, that will close many businesses, that will cost people jobs, that will drive up rent costs. Enjoy that MAGA, you voted for it. Now it is all yours. Higher costs, lost jobs, closed businesses, closed schools, closed hospitals, the dollar crashing, your retirement money vanishing, research to cure diseases gone.
This Trump administration is blowing through cash faster than DOGE could make cuts. They are saving the country nothing. The Big Beautiful Bill will drive the debt up by trillions. Trump wants no spending cap, he wants all that cash flowing out into the pockets of the wealthiest people in the country.
What about deporting all of these migrants? That will make everything better for us, right? No, that will add to driving up your food costs, hotel costs, restaurant costs, travel costs, living costs in general.
But you will get to watch people die all over the world, you will get to see migrants treated horribly, see their children taken from them, maybe even get to see news stories of them getting torn up by an alligator.
Yup, if you like cruelty and death and suffering...this is the time to be alive! You will get to see lots of that. As Mother Teresa would tell people, suffering brings you closer to God. So, revel in this! Celebrate it!
It's what you voted for MAGA! Dead kids, kids taken from their parents, kids slowly starving to death, dying of disease, my god, you've won the lottery! Enjoy!
This is what the Trump people call "flooding the zone" meaning so much bad shit is going to happen all at once, people won't know what to do or who can be helped. They will feel fear and just want to find a way to survive themselves.
Gaza is a day at Disneyland compared to what Trump intends to deliver. You bought your red hat and your Alligator Alcatraz t-shirt though, right? Wear your hatred so people know who you are! Be proud of it!
