How he said that is wrong- the FED govt never has to 'pay for' anything with taxes. They issue the currency. They never need money. Whether or not taxes can help fight inflation depends on a whole myriad of considerarions.
No need to even bring defcits into the picture except if people are specifically talking about inflation. And then, immediately let it be known who the people are that set prices (the same 1%). Get those synapases trained the right way.

climate change and a whole host of other progressive policies. They shoot themselves in the foot in trying to get Republicans to look like liars. The simpler and more accurate strategy is simply to state that the public money should be used to help the public, not the 1%. ...
'Fealty to tax cuts and lip service to deficits' has become Republican dogma. Very true, but the problem is Democrats too often point out the hypocrisy...but that reinforces the idea in the public's mind that decicits are bad, when, in fact, they can be very good in fighting poverty, ...
There were a lot of bad propositions in Texas. Lots of Dem lawmakers voted to put them on the ballot knowimg they would likely pass.
How likely are they to be gerrymandered?
"But we're still voting for Trump in 2028!!"
They still believe deficits are bad.
GOP can open it anytime they want.
What's wrong with trying to use less plastic bags? Weird fixations.
Even Dick Cheney knew:
"In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump."
Pretty sure GWB never said wind turbines cause cancer. Pretty sure the movement has been on the right into crazy land territory.
I'm sure they would want SNAP to continue and their products to be eligible, just saying they probably are still selling to Walmart (or wherever) at full price and Walmart is marking down the discount and taking the loss (or would be if the USDA would let them).

I still suspect our fascism will be more Putinlike (still horrible) or Orbanlike. Haven't read enough to know how well thet appease the masses.
Also, the fossil fuel billionaires $$ drives RW culture wars. You cut off FF power, you cut the power to the GOP. So many reasons to push clean energy it's insane not to talk about it.
Also, everyone keeps saying they hate immigrants, but keep dialing up the thermometer and you get more and more people fleeing droughts, floods and the like. Yeah, horrible Dem messaging about climate when it literally infects every other debate...

The fact that climate-friendly energy is also the best, cheapest way to serve our economic goals is incredibly good news, and a potent political message, but it would probably work better if the most prominent Dem pundits weren't laboring with decades-old CW.
That's what I don't get. Trump's fascism would be much more effective if they didn't actually screw over their own voters...scary proposition if they ever figure it out.
?? I don't understand why Conagra is controlling WalMart (or whoever)? What do they care? Wouldn't there be more sales with discounts to SNAP people?

I just don't call those people Christian or conservative because of what I said earlier. They don't follow Christ and they don't conserve.
