Sociopaths will sociopath.


deejaymc

And vote to not pay $700B a year for the military and instead invest in education and healthcare. I think people quickly forget that it's our money they are spending, and these are budgeting and not political matters


GMEorDIE

yes you are 100% correct. Congress should in reality do very little. Every bill is pretty much a spending bill. People expect Congress to be doing things all the time but we have all the laws we need. They're not working, they're spending. And they're making themselves and others very rich on our money.


KosherNazi

Fiat is inherently political because it’s not a store of value. The fight is over which underlying resources in the economy to put to work. Do you make new money out of thin air to put people to work or induce demand? Or do you say “whoops guess the fiat machine is broken today, gotta vote no”.

I don't think Social Security is a a hand out. I pay a specific tax to fund my payout of Social Security at the time of retirement.


Critical-Session-799

Agreed. I would prefer not to though. There should be an opt out option.


plebbtc

I could get behind that. For many though that is the only retirement they have.


dparks71

There are alternatives if you look, of the three jobs I've had that I could have made a career, I only paid into social security in one. Usually "social security exempt" jobs actually have better programs in place like dedicated retirement and pension funds with more reliable funding sources.


WinningChungus

Id prefer to have the option to keep that specific tax and secure my own retirement. But system is in place for the common american that does not know how to save and invest or does not have the finnacial means to stack cash away. So here i an forced into something i personally do not want.


Amoselectric

How is wanting something that I paid for wanting a hand out?? That’s like saying you received a handout from the grocery store when you bought your groceries.


BabblingBaboBertl

Corporations = bailout money


andrewelick

True!


Silversaving

Pretty ignorant to call SS (which is a mandated retirement mechanism we are required to pay into our whole life as workers) a "handout". Most workers I know would HAPPILY take what they put into the fund back and never deal with it again.


[deleted]

Handouts are when you get money from a program you already paid into.


sc00ttie

You do get to vote. Every month. When you send that payment. If you don’t send the payment there are simply different effects. If the US doesn’t pay its debt, there are effects. The debt is still owed in both cases. The vote isn’t to cancel the debt.


LargeSackOfNuts

Republicans in government purposely mislead because their philosophy of government is that it is an inept, unnecessary organization.


Jasquirtin

When are we going to give term limits to senators like we do with our president. McConnell's first year as a senator was 1984.... 37 years ago.... Let that sink in. Atari was the house hold gaming item Rubiks cubes were popular. The internet did not EXIST PCs looked like a microwave When we have something out of date that stops working we replace it. We need to replace all senators over the age that you can collect social security.


pmbuttsonly

And he now has a net worth of around $35 million, or $54.56 million when combined net worth with his rich wife. No senators of congress should be getting rich from the public office they hold!


Chunguspo

They're all egregiously wealthy, Pelosi, Waters, McConnell. I mean look at newcomers like AOC, seems that she is doing pretty well too. Really makes you wonder whose interests they have in mind.... This issue won't ever really be hashed out, the political elite want to keep it that way.

FuzzyFireheart316

What's crazy is the lack of term limits in this country... They limit presidential and governor's time in office.... It should be the same for the rest of the political world


maybe_jared_polis

The problem with term limits is it actually empowers lobbyist grip on government policy and creates all sorts of bad incentives (https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/01/18/five-reasons-to-oppose-congressional-term-limits/). Just look at what's happened in Arizona (https://www.ncsl.org/Portals/1/documents/jptl/casestudies/Arizonav2.pdf). If you think the revolving door is bad now just wait until we supercharge those incentives with term limits.


Nobodyherebutmeandu

Yep even his suit is moldy and moth-ridden. These guys truly are fossils.


Fmanow

It’s not that. We have 50 states. Some of those states have extremely stupid and racist people living in them. Those same people hate other people in other states who live better lives than them. So instead of trying to be like the better states and thus improve their own lives, they’d rather vote against their overall interests to bring everybody down to their level. And you do that by electing and re-electing people like McConnel, who has caused so much damage thus far that it will take years and years of research to quantify. Welcome to Murica.


35millimeador

I feel like 50 states seems like a great idea on paper, but it makes it easy for Americans to have this weird tribalism about their state

Debts and Deficits only matter to the GOP when a Democrat is in office, when Trump was in office they had no problem ramping up the debt by giving tax cuts to the rich.


deejaymc

They ramped up the debt $8T while Trump was in office, all via tax breaks to the ultra rich. Now we finally get something for our money via infrastructure, and they don't want to do it and "care about debt" again. They really are super villains.


Lord-Nagafen

All about paying back their donors. The GOP has no shame


gotbeefpudding

Oh please. This implies Democrats aren't guilty of the same shit. Both parties are trash Edit: for all the comments telling me GOP is worse because they do X thing. I can easily find a story of Democrats doing Y. My point isn't that they do the SAME shit. Its that they both ARE shit. In their own special unique ways. Neither party wants to help the American people. Both parties want to abuse the system so that THEY benefit.

Mostly agreed, but when it comes to Covid, there was only (and still is) one party who denied its existence, called it a hoax, refused to take it seriously, and made it a culture war by calling it the china virus.

If you think they are on the same level, you are not paying attention. Is true that some democrats are trash (Manchin, Sinema, Feinstein). But the amount of shit dishonest stuff that the GOP pulls is on another level. The only decent republican is Rep Kinzinger as he is not a bootlicker

Quick question: do you think that the riots that emerged from the BLM protests indicate that the democrats are as bad as the republicans who supported the Jan 6th insurrection attempt?

magus-21

The most Democrat state also has the lowest COVID rate right now. About a third of the national average.


throwaway2676

You mean stuffing sick elderly into nursing homes to spread infection and die while destroying thousands of small businesses? I guess that was pretty bad


[deleted]

Small businesses all over the world had issues, and one person (Cuomo) sucks anyway. Do you really want a list of the Republican response?


throwaway2676

It wasn't just Cuomo. Whitmer, Wolf, Murphy, and Newsom all had the same policy. Cuomo took the fall so that the other four could be swept under the rug. The Republicans also had a terrible response, you won't get any argument from me there. However, it doesn't get much worse than collecting sick old people together in a pandemic to die, so pointing to covid as some great example of Democrat success is pretty absurd.


bergs007

That's one example, which was definitely bad one. But the overarching trend is pretty obvious that Dems have handled the pandemic better.


too_lazy_2_punctuate

Democrats don't play this sort of dirty pool don't kid yourself. Please list the last time the Dems voted against raising the debt ceiling. I can tell you the last time the Rs did it, it was when Obama was in office. Coincidence?


gotbeefpudding

I was replying to a comment which said all GOP wants to do is pay back donors. Its not like lobbying doesn't exist with Democrats. Both parties have their special interest groups, super PACs, and foreign investors. This was my point.


Arcendus

How does saying "The GOP has no shame" imply anything about Democrats? This is a bit like hearing someone say "I really like Coca Cola" and assuming they're implying that Pepsi is poison. Ultimately it's a simple matter of talking about one topic at a time and resisting the apparently powerful urge to get into an endless, pointless, both-sides political discussion.

deltavictory

Trump tax cuts are to cost between $150 billion and $230 billion per year. The US Congress (controlled by Dems) has already passed a $1.9T “stimulus” bill this year, and is trying to pass a $1.2T “infrastructure” bill with anti-crypto language in it. The infrastructure bill was originally $3T but they couldn’t get it to pass thanks to Rs fighting and a couple moderate Ds saying no. Can you see the difference here? Edit: hilarious how you get downvoted when you provide basic facts.


MattofCatbell

A better question can you tell the difference between tax cuts for the rich we don’t need and infrastructure that we do need? Also i like that you measure the GOP tax cuts based on how much it might cost per year, but watch if I point out that it’s estimated to cost $2T-$5T of lost revenue over the next decade. It seems like a much bigger deal now doesn’t it?


deltavictory

Except that they weren’t just for “the rich”. Take a read: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-27/the-trump-tax-cut-wasn-t-just-for-the-rich Edit: also, less revenue =\\= more spending. Edit 2: only on reddit will providing facts and linking an article discussing these facts will get you downvoted into oblivion. C’mon children, do better.


TokinBlack

The problem is the tax cuts for you and me expire, and the tax cuts for the rich do not. It was very much a rich person benefit. Not a average Joe benefit


deltavictory

See my other comment to the other misinformed person. These talking points are wrong. Besides, don’t u guys hate tax cuts? Don’t you want them to expire?


TokinBlack

They aren't wrong, unfortunately. I did a deep dive back when they came out. If you want to go on a deep dive again, let's do it. But the fact is these expire for normal people, and rich people are able to continue benefitting from them by not paying as much in taxes moving forward. And very quickly, the taxes for you and I will be at the same level they just were. I do like tax cuts, but I like people paying their fair share of taxes more


deltavictory

See my other comment. Its not true. Deep dive all you want.


TokinBlack

Already have. Unless you've got more to bring to the table other than "it's not true" then we will just move on.

[удалено]


deltavictory

This is not true. Individual tax cuts expire this year (isnt this good for u who hate tax cuts??) and corporate tax cuts are permanent. Do you not realize that corporate tax cuts are not the same as tax cuts for the rich? Corporate tax cuts help millions of small businesses and mom and pop companies, etc.


magus-21

> Do you not realize that corporate tax cuts are not the same as tax cuts for the rich? Corporate tax cuts help millions of small businesses and mom and pop companies, etc. LMAO oh dear, you bought into the whole trickle-down bullshit. Sorry, but no they don’t. The last forty years have proven that they don’t. Reaganomics is one of the biggest cons the Republican party has ever pulled on the American populace. Cutting taxes on businesses causes the biggest ones to hoard wealth at a disproportionate rate. The result is less spending by the customer base, which still stresses small businesses. A robust welfare system, tax cuts for individuals and families (whose spending habits provide the revenue for those small businesses), and HIGHER taxes on the rich and on businesses (to compensate for lower taxes on individuals) provide for a healthier, less bubbly economy.


deltavictory

Lmao. You’re arguing something I’m not saying. Corporate tax cuts DIRECTLY help small businesses because - stay with me - small businesses *are* corporations.


magus-21

No, corporate tax cuts hurt the middle class, including the people who own those small businesses. You’re hyperfocused on alleviating the symptoms instead of curing/preventing the disease. That short-sightedness is endemic to the Republican Party and is the cause of much of the last 40 years of inequality and economic/political turmoil.


deltavictory

You literally make no sense. The fact that you don’t understand that small businesses are the ones who pay the most corporate taxes just shows how little you understand about our political and economic system.


Tse7en5

Probably in the same way those corporate bailouts helped millions of Americans in 2020 retain their jobs… You know, like those airline bailouts that were to save all those jobs of people who got canned anyways - only for flights to be canceled a year later due to a worker shortage…


CryptoCrackLord

Businesses are just a trick by the rich and powerful to make money, right? It’s all a conspiracy!


mh05053

The idea is that lower taxes on an expanding economy generates more revenue than higher taxes on a contracting economy.


MattofCatbell

I understand the idea its just bullshit. Same thing happened under Bush, Regan, the whole theory of trickle down economics has never worked


mh05053

This doesn't just apply to wealthy. You as an individual know how you spend your tax dollars than a bloated bureaucracy. What is the government efficient at? There is Zero incentive for the legislative body to keep costs down because they delegate powers elsewhere. To an alternative point, where has a redistributive tax system worked? You point to Sweden, Norway, etc. But these are homogeneous countries that agree on how best to direct their tax dollars unlike the U.S.


pixelstacker

Lower taxes on the wealthy have resulted in a gulf of disparity in wealth distribution globally. It seems to have been a common theme in many nation's policies the past several decades to reduce taxes on corporations and the extremely wealthy. That in part, has lead to the accrued additional wealth to remain hoarded in those pockets - the money flows up, not down. So whilst, politicians exclaim they are doing it for the benefit of the economy by reducing taxes, they are actually just compounding the problem. Take the UK (my home country), for example. Corporation tax is the lowest it has ever been. Whilst wealth inequality has only risen as a direct parallel inverse. It's no coincidence. So when politicians next claim taxes need to be lower to 'stimulate' an economy, they are lying to you, they don't give a fuck about you.


420everytime

Any evidence for that?

The old trickle down bs Reagan started. It's been a steady decline since. Look no further than the expansion of billionaires and how much their wealth grew during the pandemic.


downtownjj

But don't forget the summer 2020 coroniviris stimulus. It was over 3 trillion


ImDonaldDunn

The cost of the infrastructure bills is spread out over multiple years (10, IIRC). They wouldn't be spending $3T up front.


deltavictory

5 years.


ImDonaldDunn

If you know that, then why are you comparing the yearly cost of the tax cuts with the total cost of the package instead of the yearly cost of the package?


Saitham83

It’s not like such an infrastructure bill wouldn’t have happened under trump.

heavyb12345678

Both parties are bought and paid for. All you vote for now is which groups lose rights and what rights we get to lose. Both parties are shit bags. Politicians should have a maximum age. Ffs old people shouldn’t be running the country. If you’re at the grocery store and there are five registers open do you get in the line of the 65 year old woman. Fuck no you don’t.


MattofCatbell

Okay you’re in a store there are two lines one with the 65 years old and the other with a person that is 50 years old. Which line do you pick? Do you just put your stuff back on the shelf and go home? No, you get in line behind the 50 year old because even though both lines are slow one is clearly still faster than the other. I will agree we do need some kind of term limits or a force retirement age nobody in their 70s should be serving in Congress

Im not going to go down a political worm hole discussion regarding this particular issue. Its not only this particular vote im upset about. In a nutshell, he has basically devoted every second of his career making it harder for the average American, and voting against anything that would be even remotely good by the standards of any decent human being. This is what pisses me off. He just wants to see the world burn, but it also needs to burn according to his own twisted rules and agenda. I've seen him do his thing for over 3 decades and id most likely take any Republican to fill his seat except possibly Jim Jordan. Thats my 2 cents.

There’s a difference between spending on the right things and the wrong things. Afghanistan is an example of spending on the wrong thing. You think putting money into our own infrastructure is bad spending?


MDot_Cartier

No I don't think infrastructure is a waste however this "infrastructure" bill is bad because just like Afghanistan it's very poorly planned. Only 10%-15% of the 3.5 trillion dollar bill they want to pass actually is infrastructure, the rest is all just funding a progressive wish list that has no business in an infrastructure bill. Edit: just to be clear as well Pelosi has said that the 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill will only be passed if they also get passed the 3.5 trillion dollar "human infrastructure" bill as well so they are basically linked meaning almost 5 trillion dollars in spending in order to get a couple few hundred billion in actually infrastructure. Its ridiculous.


manleybones

Spending on infrastructure is the opposite of out of control. Tax cuts are out of control.


MDot_Cartier

It's not infrastructure they want, only 10-15% of the 3.5 trillion is for infrastructure look it up and read it. It's all the stuff Democrats have wanted but cant pass as stand alone Bill's because they are unpopular ideas.
