Let me understand this. In 8 years the republican tax plan expires. In that time the deficit will

have ballooned out of control, and those responsible for this will not be around in Congress when people start pointing fingers at who to blame.

I just heard a stat that you are THIRTEEN TIMES MORE LIKELY to have a heart attack if you have to worry about money.

I have said this over and over, they WANT to kill us this way, and of course in other ways like taking everything we rely on away.

Someday people will wake up and REACT to this.

tries to harm people financially and knows full well strokes and heart attacks can be the result and it is one of the reasons they do it.



Whether you are a liberal, POC, poor person or any minority, you are a problem for them. You take up air and water that they want. You use healthcare resources that they believe are limited and they want to be in the front of the line for.

The idea that they would have to wait in line at a grocery store while a black woman uses a food stamp card, makes their brains sizzle with rage. Black men too but it really riles up their hatred when it is a woman.

They have been at war with us and especially minorities all along, the difference now is an actual Nazi is in the WH, a Nazi admirer, trump.

What a con has in common with all other cons other than racism is greed.

Plain and simple.

Truthfully, the $1.5 Trillion ADDITION to National Debt over 10 years is minuscule compared to the $600 billion it grew in 2017. That is equivalent to $6 Trillion if the rate continues for 10 years, which it likely will.

By the end of the 10 years, we'll wish the National Debt had only grown by $1.5 T.
