12. This is what Republicans do.

They give away the shop, break the bank and run away when it's time to pay the bills.

Then Democrats have to be the adults and pass legislation that fixes the situation.

Then Republicans piss and moan that Democrats are restricting corporate freedom and just want to raise taxes to give money to the freeloaders. The very people that Republicans have left high and dry, desperate for food, housing, medical care, education and a living wage.

By giving this administration carte Blanche to bring in a private group, Doge, they may have broken things beyond repair. At the very least, over a decade if not decades.

They absolutely need to tax the billionaires that have been the root of the problem to fix the gov't's financial situation. It will be part of their pennance. We need 2 "Robin Hoods" for President and Vice President and one hell of an A.G. to clean house.
IMHO.
