Besides the fantastic leaders the Republicans have foisted on us---think Nixon, Trump and Greitens, as just 3 quick examples--it seems we just keep getting yet more gifts from these people. This news story broke today.
The US's national debt spiked $1 trillion
in less than 6 months
So they railed against big budgets and too much spending for 8 years while a Democrat was in the White House but when they get their own man in there, what do they do? Do they slash spending and whittle down the deficit they hate so much?
Heck no!
They've done quite the opposite, as we keep seeing! First it was with their budget giveaway for the already-wealthy and corporations.
The Senate Budget Sets Up A Tax Giveaway
To The Rich
The Trump Budget Is Full of Giveaways
to Coal and Oil Companies
Tax bill: Ample tax cuts for business, wealthy
in new GOP tax plan
Not done there, they also did their best to increase other spending and unnecessary, at that.
A disconcerting $70 billion increase
in defense spending
Then look what they've done to "Obamacare" and health care in the nation, folks.
The stupidity of Trumpcare: Government will spend $33 billion more to cover 8.9 million fewer Americans, as premiums soar
They wanted to make sure they undid President Obama's legacy on health care, for sure. So we'll all be paying more for health insurance, fewer will have coverage and so, access to health care and then the nation will spend more to get it all.
Fantastic, no?
Finally, here are just two of the results of their tax plan.
CBO: Senate tax bill increases deficit
by $1.4 trillion
Why the GOP Tax Bill Will Make
Wealth Inequality Worse
They famously, even infamously did it in and to Kansas, as we all watched, right next door, from 2012 to today with Governor Brownback's and the Republican Party's tax cuts for the already-wealthy and corporations.
Did anyone learn?
Oh, heck no. So here we go again. Some more. But on a larger, national scale now.
God help them if they go after Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other budgets.
For the love of God and all that's good, someone, someone tell me why anyone but the wealthy votes Republican.
