THE GOP HATES 98%+ OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

Kevin McCarthy, facing heat from his own party, now promises to take a look at cutting Medicare and Social Security. He notes he is going to "make some people uncomfortable by doing that."

MY RESPONSE: How is the Rich Mans Welfare System, something they get for nothing without any Contributions, not an ENTITLEMENT, yet the GOP wants to cut Medicare and Social Security, programs that have been paid into by those using them? The GOP is little more than a Criminal Syndicate.

THE DEBT CEILING CRISIS: THE GOPS ECONOMIC POLICIES OF PROTECTING THE WEALTHY AT ALL COSTS NEVER CHANGES.

 BLAST FROM THE PAST.

2008-2016

A PROGRESSIVE LEGACY
Over the last Eight Years, we have seen Progressive Democrats support
an Economic Policy that included;

-  An increase in the Federal Minimum Wage of 7.25/ hr.
Which was opposed, and killed, by Congressional Republicans.
( However, on the State Level, there are examples of Minimum Wage
Guidelines that the Republican Party couldn't stop).

-  Expanding the Time Period for receiving Unemployment Benefits, to
   Temporarily Relieve Financial Distress associated with Job loss.

-  Financial Relief for crippling costs incurred through Higher Education.

-  Consumer Laws protecting Americans from predatory practices by
    Dishonest Marketers.

    Of course, this list does not include the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,
    which resulted in Millions of Americans obtaining Medical Care
    Insurance that would not result in Crippling Debt, or a Dramatic
    Decrease in Their Quality of Life. 

The Republicans, besides attempting to stop all of the above, stuck with
the old "TRICKLE DOWN THEORY" OF ECONOMICS. Let's see what
that included:

TAX BREAK INCENTIVES, WHICH ALLOWED CORPORATIONS, AND WEALTHIEST 

AMERICANS, TO RETAIN MORE OF THEIR WEALTH, WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL
PUMP THAT MONEY BACK INTO THE ECONOMY.

TO RECEIVE THIS INCENTIVE, ARE THEY
REQUIRED TO:

-  INVEST IN SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING?- NO.

-  FINANCIALLY SUPPORT, OR RESTRUCTURE CORPORATIONS TO PROVIDE A LIVING
   WAGE, OR A MEDICAL PLAN FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES?- NO.

-  ONLY SUPPORT AMERICAN BUSINESSES, INSTEAD OF TAKING THE
    FINANCIAL WINDFALL OVERSEAS?-  NO.

THESE TAX BREAKS ARE BASED ON THE "HOPE" THAT THEY WILL BE USED
TO BENEFIT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.

However, don't worry. If these incentives are used unwisely, and the MONEY DISAPPEARS,
ALL IS NOT LOST. CORPORATIONS FORMED ARE PLACED INTO BANKRUPTCY,
MEANING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR POOR MONEY
MANAGEMENT.  AS FOR THE WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVED THE
TAX BREAK BENEFITS, AND LOST THE MONEY? THEY WILL JUST DECLARE THESE
LOSSES ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURNS, AND BASICALLY GET IT ALL BACK.

THE REPUBLICANS- WHO ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR AGAIN?

HEY GOP, IT'S BASIC ECONOMICS.

While Democrats prefer dependency, Republicans are focused on improving

our economy and the lives of those participating in it.

MY RESPONSE:

I'll say it again, and again because the GOP only reiterates the same line over and over...

Budgets have two parts;

-The Money you spend, and what it is directed to.

-The Money you take in, what sources are you ignoring.

The GOP ignores the 2nd part of #1, and all of

part 2.
