Hell, I'm poor and I won't feel it.

Probably because I don't depend on the government to support me.


I say we should cut spending by 80-90% beginning next week.

Then a man could get decent paying capitalist job around this mother ****er.

I'm middle class and won't feel it either. But you think the wealthy will feel it over the middle class....no they won't.

Either way in a Republic election results are more or less what govern. Not what certain people on the internet want.

And politicians shouldn't be spending money on what "people voted for"

We live in a Republic, not a democracy.

The people who voted don't care about debt, paying for spending or anything like that. They want more more more and they want someone else to pay for it.

You do realize that there are still elections in a Republic and politicians should represent the folks who sent them there.
