Further, the latest batch of Ukraine spending was funded by cutting funds to the IRS, so we’re not only losing money now, but in the future too.

Yeah, blame the republicans for that one.

No, it isn’t, because our government doesn’t mandate a living wage nor regulate the prices of war materials,

You may not like what is being produced, but the jobs producing arms are good paying.

and in fact, there’s been extensive reporting on price gouging in the war industry.

For sure. It never should have been privatized.

It's literally creating good paying jobs here in the US.

LOL

The rallying cry of cognitive dissonance.

You have proved without doubt that your opinions on important matters are meaningless. Your first few comments were indicative, but this is just irrefutable proof.

You're right.

I should lower my expectations when we give Democrats the majority in Congress and the presidency, because nothing they promised is going to happen. And even though they have plenty of power to make meaningful change, it's always going to be the Republicans' fault that they didn't.

You should probably learn the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate and what their respective jobs are before embarrassing yourself in a public forum.

After that you can move on to current events and political news so maybe you can grok why your belief that Democrats "have plenty of power to make meaningful change" is so laughable.

I wont get my hopes up though. Best wishes from BC.

If only people could eat excuses for why Democrats don't wield power when they have it. Student lunch debt would no longer exist.
