Why are democrats required to included pay fors when it comes to helping poor Americans, but tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations can go on americas credit card. The republicans have looted the treasury and now when we desperately need help republicans are giving us the proverbial middle finger. Theyre going to do what we let them.

We can't do this because the parliamentarian says we cant. The Republicans stole a SCOTUS position and got away with it. If there is a SCOTUS vacancy in Biden's term they will steal another one. If the Republicans get the Congress back and they want a tax cut they will get rid of the filibuster in a New York minute.

If Labor Stands up, Labor wins. But damn it's hard to get the workers time and energy to fight for themselves. Been like that throughout History.
Good news is WE The People ALWAYS win in the end. Just takes blood, sweat and tears in the interim. Most of us will likely never live to see the victory - We fight the good fight for the NEXT Generation and beyond.

Of course, that has never been the case.
But, hey, why let the truth get in the way of anything?
