Do NOT Forget The META-MESSAGE: Bridge Collapses, Flooded Cities, Major Blackouts

Terror attacks etc.

Government is responsible for your safety. That's what it's there for. If you constantly slash taxes and sell out the highest bidder, you compromise safety. Republicans are AWFUL, INCOMPETENT and IMO, CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT, when it comes to National Security because they don't believe in funding government, or in governing COMPETENTLY AND RESPONSIBLY. Not to mention they are ubiquitously and irretrievably corrupt. Period.

1. A government agency cannot donate millions to someone's

political campaign, hence the privatization push. What we need is a war on rust, a war on bridges, a war on poverty, a war on negligence, a war on potholes, and a war on war.

2. Its absolutely unbelievable.

Nobody should allow a party who "wants government so small you can drown it in a bathtub" to manage the federal government, and if such a party is allowed to exist, their spending should match their desired government size. As it is, we got struck with leadership that is downsizing through total destruction, AND spending more than anybody in history.

3. Infrastructure failure is the result of Republican "less government" ideals n/t

4. Infrastructure failure is the GOAL of Republican ideals. They just

won't come right out and admit it.

5. absolutely.

If they "prove" government shouldn't do it (due to failures) - then they make the case to privatize it.

Do we really want EVERYTHING privatized? Because that IS what THEY want. :scared:

6. This whole thing is the big secret they have been trying to keep from us.

It probably enters into EVERY conversation in the WH and so they HAVE to claim executive privilege. If the truth ever came out they'd all be brought up on treason charges.

7. Yup

8. No, they just don't care.

They don't give a fuck about anybody who doesn't give them huge sums of money. And even for those people, they only care about the money, not the person. Big fucking suprise that they don't fund infrastructure (except when it results in big contracts for their friends.)
