"Republican chaos"- good term 4 cop budget cuts, crime, potholes, crumblng

schools, mass homelessness, "will work for food",... bank robbers, school shootings, etc.

Pin the blame where it belongs in very few words. "Own the language".. reframe what people see.

WE NEED COPS, FIREFIGHTERS
Too few cops? firefighters? That is Republican Chaos, all due to GOP Taxcuts for the rich, cutting funds to localities for cops and firefighters.

BURGLARS CRAWLING IN YOUR BEDROOM WINDOW
Street Crime? Bank robbers? Due to GOP's planned Job Shortage of 14 million .. see my sig.
Job Shortage -->
12 million hungry --->
crime to get money for food, rent.
"you will be up to your ears in burglars till there are Jobs For All" see sig.

ASYLUMS CUT IN HALF
School shootings, family massacres, looney holds a hostage and standoff with cops, sniper, .. all Republican Chaos due to taxcuts for the rich. Taxcuts lead to cutting in half the asylums... so now the criminally insane walk among us.

TAXCUTS FOR THE RICH
Potholes, crumbling schools, the homeless.. Republican Chaos... due to taxcuts for the rich.. no funds to fix streets or schools.. RR suddenly cut 2/3rds of housing vouchers in early 8O's, suddenly causing mass homelessness and death.. a third of bridges have flaws now. "but they are safe".

When someone remarks on the chaos around us all, respond fast with
"Republican chaos".

PS Main "machinery" by which GOP causes chaos is DESTRUCTION and NO REPAIR.

1. Job Shortage which spawns "destruction"... like poverty, crime.

2. Taxcuts for the rich... which end "repair" programs like asylums, cops, firefighters, pothole work, housing vouchers.
Bush Jr cut $35O Billion plus.

==============================
MAIN REPAIRS:
Just 4 billion would end all homelessness,
12 billion would end hunger.
3O billion would double all NIH research for cures.
Total: just 46 billion.
-- A new WPA would end all joblessness. No cost. Harnessing the unharnessed labor of the jobless does not cost, it pays.

1. One of my favorites is Homeland Security.

Last time I checked, local Police Departments and Fire Departments were our first line of defense for most citizens. We have all seen these people in action and have relied upon them all of our lives.

- While building Homeland Security the administration cut their budgets.

The second line of defense has been the National Guard. "Call in the National Guard". But, we can't, they have all been sent to Iraq to defend someone else's freedom.

- While building Homeland Security we sent the National Guard away.

The final line of defense was the best military in the world. Not many Americans were concerned that anything would come up that they couldn't handle (until recently).

- While building Homeland Security we sent the military away.

How are we safer?

Maybe Homeland Security is strictly about taking away our rights while making a profit?

It certainly doesn't make any sense.
