This is so unnecessarily reductive, to the point of being relevant only within a tiny borough’s enclave. Every Democrat I know is +/-liberal and every liberal I know thinks that we are a rich country which ought to be able to provide services, like health care, to all citizens. End discussion.

Apparently, Mr. Trump didn't read paragraph six of the agreement he signed. www.npr.org/2026/06/18/n...

Um, does MAGA know about this? At least he was truthful for once (notice the ambiguity in the first sentence about who was doing the surrendering 😂) Narrator: it’s Trump and the USA

MAGA evangelicals: when I think of all the problems in the world, I’m just glad that this squishy cross will help me deal. Thank you Elon Musk and DOGE saved me zero tax dollars so I could buy one. Jesus: “what’s that now? This symbol of my painful death is your…stress relieving squishy? Omfg”

This perfectly encapsulates the mindset of this kleptocratic oligarchy. This is dangerously close to “let them eat cake” territory.

"On Sunday, when Shannon Bream of the Fox News Channel asked Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett about a Wall Street Journal report that delinquent credit card balances are at their highest level in 15 years as people use their credit cards for necessities, Hassett centered not the American people but the credit card companies. “We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and we do see some increased stress like the numbers that the Wall Street Journal quotes, but for the most part…there’s not any kind of…financial threat to the credit card companies.
Americans trying to navigate rising prices by putting necessities on their credit cards were not likely to be concerned about how their financial pain might hurt credit card companies."

My novel about how a married couple survived being lost at sea, made mention in passing about how the British food rationing system lasted from 1939-1954, so as to make sure everyone had what they need and to prevent the wealthy from hoarding. I wonder how that would go here. Ha ha

At the start of the Second World War in 1939, the United Kingdom was importing 20 million long tons of food per year, including about 70% of its cheese and sugar, almost 80% of fruit and about 70% of cereals and fats. The UK also imported more than half of its meat and relied on imported feed to support its domestic meat production. The civilian population of the country was about 50 million.[3] It was one of the principal strategies of the Germans in the Battle of the Atlantic to attack shipping bound for Britain, restricting British industry and potentially starving the nation into submission.

To deal with sometimes extreme shortages, the Ministry of Food instituted a system of rationing. To buy most rationed items, each person had to register at chosen shops and was provided with a ration book containing coupons. The shopkeeper was provided with enough food for registered customers. Purchasers had to present ration books when shopping so that the coupon or coupons could be cancelled as these pertained to rationed items. Rationed items had to be purchased and paid for as usual, although their price was strictly controlled by the government and many essential foodstuffs were subsidised; rationing restricted what items and what amount could be purchased as well as what they would cost.

Trump, today: “The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways.” Sigh “They've got no leverage at all, except that in the short term they've strapped us into a chair and put these funny electrodes on our balls.”
