- If you're mad about Donald Trump and the damage he's done to American politics, you need to direct your anger at the Supreme Court. Their decision in Bush v Gore paved the way for Donald Trump to enter politics decades ago, by allowing a completely incompetent and irresponsible Republican to win that race by halting the ballot counting in Florida. They put us on this path, and Trump is their end result. Farron Cousins explains how this happened.

You know, I've been doing these Q and as, um, for for many years now. You know, putting out there, asking for questions. And honestly, and this is kind of amazing, like one of the most common questions I get every time I ask for questions for q and a, I get this question asked multiple times by multiple different people every time I do it. And the question is this, this one in particular happens to come from, uh, Donovan Finley 8 1 3 1. And I know, I'm pretty sure 'cause I recognize that name. I think I've answered your questions in the past. But Donovan Finley asks, how does the Republican party change after Trump is gone? They've shown how far they're willing to go to accommodate a narcissistic want to dictator, convicted felon. So can they move past him when he's gone? Or is it just who they are forever or at least until their eventual collapse?
I think the answer is yes and no. Yes, they fall apart and no, they don't fall apart. And here's what I mean by that. Donald Trump has exposed a lot of the rot that has existed for decades within the Republican party going back all the way to Nixon, right? Republicans like, oh no, Nixon is a bad guy, he's a criminal, but we're, we're done with him. We right, we're just, we're just your normal Republicans all, we just wanted some tax cuts around here. We're we're totally the good guys. Well they weren't. They had the covert racism, you know, covert xenophobia, taking all the corporate money, letting corporations pollute everything. But they did it all behind the scenes. The only difference between the Republican party of Old and the Republican Party of Donald Trump is that Trump does it out in the open. And because of that, he has inspired other Republicans to also do it white out in the open.
And these Republicans aren't being punished for it. Trump aligned Republican members of Congress, members of the Senate do win elections. They win elections using his same rhetoric and sometimes using rhetoric that's even far harsher than he uses. Those people are not gonna suddenly start losing elections once Donald Trump is gone. Something has been awakened in this new Republican party. So when Trump is gone, this new thing that it's become continues to survive, the question is, is it worth saving? And the answer of course is no. So what I believe happens, and again this is probably 10, 20 years down the road, may, maybe sooner maybe, but we start to see the fracturing of this party. And we've already seen it by the way, on the left. We have seen it happening since the 2016 election. A fracturing where you've got the, you know, hardcore kind of Bernie Sanders progressives versus the more establishment moderate Democrats.
Now over here you've got the moderate establishment Republicans and then the back crap crazy people. And there's plenty of people in that back crap crazy category. Enough to where if the party were to break and fracture, you would have two separate parties. So that's why it's yes and no, the party survives, but it survives as two separate things. And maybe that's not a bad thing. We need more viable political parties here in the United States. Viable being the key word. So if we were to have a moderate Democrat party, a moderate Republican party, a further left progressive party and a way far crazy right? Um, crazy party, we'll call it. I think it's apt description. That may not be a bad thing. We could have multiple different parties, we could have multiple different viewpoints, multiple different kinds of people being elected and working together. 'cause I don't think many people over here would end up being elected, but we could start to see real change. So that would actually be a good thing. So maybe Donald Trump destroying the Republican party might be what finally gives us better choices in elections in the future.
I'm 60 plus year old man. I was a Republican all my life until Trump tried the coup. I plan never to vote Republican again!!!
Good decision. I'm also 60+ and Reagan (a d-list actor) was my breaking point 😮

HR: So let me get this straight. You got fired from a top executive job because you did a poor job. The company immediately hired a new top executive. You couldn't handle that. You were so angry, you refused to leave. You called all your friends to come and vandalize the workplace. When you did leave, on your way out of the office you took a lot of the company's confidential documents. And when you got caught, you refused to give many of them back. Now you're reapplying for the same job

"Trump May Have Finally Broken The Republican Party For Good" Excellent
Yes 🤭
The Republican party has been broken for a long time now.
Yeah but Chump has canceled the warranty....spent up it's younger year's...
and finally began to drive the party in two.
When Donny is gone, which will probably happen sooner rather than later they're going to have a difficult time ever sorting this out.
Yes long time now
It's just out in the open now.
I agree, they've been discussting for the last 60yrs but Trump was the final poison that turned the Republican Party into the Trump Natzi Party!!!
Remember when they morphed from Bush Republicans to Tea Party nutters and then pupated into MAGA crazies? That particular moth isn't going to go back into the pod.
Ronald Reagan would be kicked out of the present day Republican Party if he were alive today.
HIS STUPID ASS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THEIR EITHER.
Can you imagine them putting up with him telling Gorby to tear down the wall?
They should be _worshipping_ Reagan: he started the rot, along with Thatcher, here in the UK.
@@annalieff-saxby568 The hypothetical situation implies a ronald-reagan-like person, rather than reagan himself, and would be thought of as too soft and kindly.
Which is funny because he’s the worst President before Trump and after Jackson.
Thank you Farron for saying what I've been saying. Republicans have been this way for almost 50 years.
The last "decent" Republican President was Eisenhower, it's been all downhill since then.
When I met my husband in the early 80’s and he said he was a republican I told him what I believed they were capable of. I married him anyway and trumps Republican Party did every horrible thing I claimed the republicans were capable of. He switched parties I am happy to report. He never voted for him.
There are no moderates remaining in the GOP. Those moderates left to become independents or even Democrats!
The problem is that the Democrats are also heading to the right. Look at Eric Swalwell's idiotic proposal to deport Russian students from American schools.
I think the next generation of voters will get rid of the Maga Republicans in time

DEMOCRAT Billions of Taxpayer Dollars Wasted on Fraud and Abuse
In 2021, according to the Government Accountability Office, the government spent at least $279 billion in known improper payments - an 8.6% improper payment rate - equivalent to more than $2,000 per household. The vast majority of those improper payments are concentrated in welfare programs.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The 2022 Medicaid improper payment rate was 15.62%, or $80.57 billion (it was over 21.7% in 2021). In addition, for CHIP, the 2022 improper payment rate was 26.75%, or $4.30 billion (it was over 31.8% in 2021).
As for Food Stamps, a 2019 report by the Governmental Accountability Office estimates fraud could cost taxpayers anywhere from “$960 million to 4.7 billion.”
In 2021, the Child Tax Credit cash grants had a 13% improper payment rate, costing taxpayers more than $5.2 billion. The IRS projects that 28 percent of Earned Income Tax Credits are improperly paid.
A January 2023 Government Accountability Office report suggested at least $60 billion was lost to fraudulent Unemployment Insurance payments since the start of the pandemic. Some estimates by outside experts say as much as $400 billion, or nearly half, of unemployment benefits paid during the pandemic may have been stolen.
Improper payment rates by program:
Medicaid: 15.6% - $81 billion
CHIP: 27% - $4.3 billion
Child Tax Credit: 13% - $5.2 billion
COVID Unemployment Insurance: nearly 50% - $400 billion
Food Stamps: 6.18% - $960 million - $4.7 billion *** source, BUDGET COMMITTEE
@jryecart8017 you're just desperate to deny reality.
Most Americans will not mourn the GOP's demise, long past its sell by date.
You can go as far back as Reagan with his Reaganomics
And the “Moral Majority “. 🙄
All the way to Nixon, that's when for profit healthcare started...
Trump pulled back the curtain and revealed the ugliness
Boy howdy.
The chosen one.
Where does everyone think the KKK went, they migrated to the police & congress
Oh bless your sweet soul. That's where they have always been.
As an European, I feel that our system that requires compromise to function has merit.
I guess that depends on what your compromises are.. DJT is sure a compromise, he is an unfortunate mistake by the right. One huge mistake we all now must correct. 💙🇺🇲
You have to have people accept that compromise is a part of democracy. They don't
You can't compromise with fascist traitors who don't act in good faith.
@@cynthiagregory8629 If u think, Donald Trump is a compromise, then sorry, but u dont understand, what a compromise in politics is.
There can be no compromise, when the Republicans simply select the opposite of the Democrat party as their policy, with no consideration of what is right or wrong. It is ONLY about power for the Republicans, not about policy.
Democrats need to stick together , a boat goes nowhere if the rowers are not rowing in same direction.
Theres a big hole in that boat, ABANDON SHIP!
And while some Democrats may be more progressive, and others more moderate, both sides can agree that they want to keep our democracy and our freedoms. And that needs to be front and center when it comes to defeating MAGA. If we all keep splitting and going our own way, even when we do outnumber Republicans, it allows MAGA to stay in power and set us back further. 2016 is a prime example.
Seriously? Democrats have been the picture of sticking together.
Something utterly rotten has been awakened. Something ugly and despicable.
Ikr?
Donald drained the swamp and put the swamp creatures into positions of power.
Deplorable
Exposed, not awakened. FDT FOREVER
Lindsey Graham actually said that if they nominated Trump to run for President, that he would rip their party apart. It was one of the last times that he actually told the truth.
It's no longer a traditional Republican Party- its Mutant Magatz.
There isn't much of a diffrence, Trump just made them more honest, Stupid rebranding of there ideas like we are not neo conseratives we are the alt right the paleo conseratives etc its the same ideas just branding is diffrent
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - - - Ahead of the expiration of key components of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2025, the WAYS and MEANS COMMITTEE is examining pro-growth and pro-family policies to determine how best to build on its success. Under the 2017 Trump tax cuts, real median household income increased by $5,000 and real wages rose by 4.9 percent in the two years after the legislation was signed into law. The economy grew an entire percentage point faster than projected, and the trend of American companies leaving the United States to set up headquarters in other parts of the world came to an end.
If the Trump tax cuts are not extended, working Americans would face a record tax hike and the economy would suffer in the years to come:
Starting in 2026, the average family of four making $75,000 will see their taxes increase by $1,500 if Congress does not take action.
Main Street businesses will face a 43.4 percent tax rate.
Working parents will suffer from a Child Tax Credit slashed in half.
More family-owned small businesses, farms, and ranches will be hit by the death tax and forced to sell land and other assets to pay a big tax bill.
While Congress is debating how to protect working families from higher taxes and help American businesses better compete, grow, and create jobs, President Biden’s latest budget proposes $7 trillion in tax hikes on families, farmers, and small businesses.
Facts Are Facts: Trump Tax Cuts Benefited Working Families
two things need to happen. we need to "get the church out of the state" and "one person one vote". problem solved.
And get big money out of the electoral process.
…And get rid of #CitizensUnited - dark money in politics.
Republican party questionnaire:
Are you corrupt? Yes or No? If yes, then welcome to the Republican party!!
I would love to see a new Conservative Party to be established, providing a place for "real" conservatives to go. Moderate Party, too. And just call them what they are. Getting rid of corporate money in politics is also a necessary step.
To have more partys in U.S.
Get rid of FillyBuster.
Get Rid of Electoral College..
Wont work otherwise
The electoral college isn't going anywhere without a 2/3 vote both the Senate and the House. The odds of Dems ever getting to those numbers right now, are slim. Maybe in 2-4 years, if Dems can get back the House and keep the Senate with Dem senators united to getting rid of the filibuster. That way the stalled Voting Rights legislation can finally get passed to eliminate gerrymandering and remove dark money. And outside of that, the Interstate Compact could pick up some steam, and once enough states join, that would cancel out the electoral college.
Have automatic voter registration and separate party affiliation from that.
Exactly.
Every state has ballot access laws which have enshrined the 2 parties, and voters have become habituated to vote for one or the other. Change must be at the grass roots.
And get big money out of the electoral process.
You would also need to change the voting system to proportional representation, as well as scrapping the electoral college.
Changes like that would require a constitutional amendment. The last time the US Congress amended the US Constitution was in 1992 when they passed the 27th Amendment, a version of one James Madison's 12 amendments proposed in 1789, ten of which became the Bill of Rights. Madison didn't want Congress to be able give themselves a raise so the 27th Amendment requires any pay raises to not go into effect until the session of congress doing the voting endured a fresh election cycle.
The Ace is not part of the same Deck
I would add ranked choice voting, and publicly funded elections. The entire cost would be a tiny, tiny fraction of the budget. And it would truly level the playing field and force Congress to actually represent the People as opposed to representing the wealthy donors.

Whenever there is a meaningful vote in the house or senate it's usually all republicans vs. all democrats with one or two outliers. This isn't how politics is supposed to work.
As a Canadian, I've been thinking for years that the US needs more political parties. I've said this even when speaking to family in the US.
Agree with you Farron. We need more 'viable' (key word) political parties to provide the electorate with more choices for policy.
First Past The Post makes that unlikely.
it does work and in my country Canada we have more than three party's and this how we were able to get the drug and dental plan for everyone making less than $90000/year. CP were against it but our Liberals and NDP were for it.
And a viable new political party is not the Green Party or Libertarian Party that only shows up every 4 years for Presidential elections. The key to having more viable political parties is by having an infrastructure and building from the ground up in school board elections, city council elections, mayoral races, state legislature elections and Congressional.
If Trump is sentenced to probation, isn't it normal that the probationer cannot be in contact with other felons; wouldn't that rule out most of his 'friends'?
Actually the probationer is suppose to keep an eye on him through out his custodial sentence,been there done that
What makes you believe anything could possibly become better, as long as nobody removes the trash!?!
Oh I finally have it, one thing I'm thankful Trump did.
He exposed the rot in the GOP by himself over doing what they've done for decades.
Shouldn't we stop calling it the Republican Party, and start calling it the Maga Party?
What about the "American Union of Fascists".
My 10 year old grandson innocently called it correctly, "The Maggots Party"!
Simplest distinction: Dems; inclusive GOP; exclusive.
They were broken the minute they endorsed him in 2016. I just dont understand how they have no one else.

The most important thing we all should remember is we are all Americans long before either worthless party 🇺🇸
You have it right and the only good thing is that they have been exposed for the good people to see. Take advantage, reform the supreme court , reform congress and start to serve the people.

thanks for the CRT FALLACY OF COMPOSITION .... ya never disappoint - - - Expanding Welfare Without Work
President Biden’s 2024 budget continues his Administration’s disturbing trend of discouraging work. The Biden Budget proposes resurrecting the expanded Child Tax Credit spending program from the ARP, radically changing the long-standing, bipartisan Child Tax Credit by removing work requirementsand turning it into an unconditional cash payment per child.
This policy would cost taxpayers an astonishing cost of $429 billion despite only expanding for just three years. However, the removal of work requirements would be permanent policy.
If the policy was made permanent, Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) analysis projects, over the next decade, this expanded entitlement programs would:
Cost taxpayers $1.4 trillion over the next decade,
Shrink the economy by $50 billion,
Lead to a $19 billion loss of private-sector investment,
Sideline 300,000 workers, pushing more Americans on welfare dependence.
Biden discourages work at precisely the wrong time:
There are 2.8 million fewer people working today than before the pandemic despite nearly 11 million job openings for 5.7 million unemployed individuals. That is a ratio of almost two jobs open per unemployed person. ^^^ source, BUDGET COMMITTEE

Humanity has been thru these cycles time and again thru out history. We can hope in the long run sanity will reside.
I do research on a variety of subjects. I agree with everything Farron Cousin is saying. Because he's telling the truth. When you Vote for The Republican Politicians you cast a. Vote against your own interest.
I think we have 14 registered political parties in Canada. Only Conservative (right), Liberal (just left of center), New Democrat (further left) and Party Quebecois (only in Quebec but I think fairly right wing) make an impact in federal elections with the occasional seat or two for the left wing Green party in a Parliamentary system. The majority party's leader becomes Prime Minister. Coalitions can form though in a minority government to control procedures. We even have a Communist party that I never hear anything about.😮
I would edit that to change the Conservative party to far right. They *were* right wing until the idiots merged with the Reform party. Then they definitely became just as batshit and far right as the Reformers. One of the worst things to ever come out of my province ever. It makes me sad and also worried that they'll get in again and ruin everything even more.
It doesn't help that Alberta has gone even more batshit and are taking Saskatchewan with them, tho there are still some good people left. It's just not the place I grew up in anymore.

Stupid. One person one vote. Popular vote wins. Whoever gets the most votes,that's how it should be done. Not this electoral college b.s.
One person One vote.
Say hello to President Ross Perot, the candidate that nobody really wanted to be President. He was only a protest vote against the system, and he got 19% of the vote. But with ranked choice voting, it's very possible he would have been elected.
All I want right now is that the Judge gives him prison time. He's already been Convicted of 34 felonies. It's time for him to SERVE HIS SENTENCE just like WE would have to do!!
Not only will it give us better choices in elections, but it would also prevent a future Donald Trump from ever happening again.
In Canada, we have a moderate left, an extremist left and a moderate right party. When the moderate left party is elected with a minority government, they end up forming a coalition with the extremist left in order to form a government. You end up with the tail wagging the dog as the extremists have total control over the moderates. If the republican party were to divide and end up in that situation, things could get very scary.
You are completely wrong, we in Canada don't have a moderate left an extremist left and à moderate right Party. And things would not get scary in your country if you would have more than 2 party's. Is it scary in my country acanada? Nope because things gets done because we have more Party's. And now we have the drug and dental plan for everyone making less than $90000/year.
@@nil7148 You are completely wrong. The "drug plan" only covers SOME diabetic and contraceptive medications. The "dental plan" only covers people under 18 and over 65, and is not full coverage, only partial coverage at SOME dental facilities. Pushing these policies that don't actually help most Canadians has been an attempt to buy votes, and clearly it has worked with you.
@@user-gq1dv6ze3b the dental plan starting in 2025 will be for everyone in Canada making less than $90000/year.
Services covered
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) will help cover a wide range of oral health care services that:
keep your teeth and gums healthy
prevent and treat oral health care issues and diseases
Examples of services that could be covered under the CDCP when recommended by an oral health provider, include:
preventive services, including scaling (cleaning), sealants and fluoride
diagnostic services, including examinations and x-rays
restorative services, including fillings
endodontic services, including root canal treatments
prosthodontic services, including:
complete dentures, and
partial removable dentures
periodontal services, including deep scaling
oral surgery services, including extractions
@@user-gq1dv6ze3b the drug plan covers contraceptives and for diabetes for now but eventually will cover more.
Been waiting 40 years for a viable 3rd party. 😤
There is no such thing as thrid parties in Europe. There just parties.
@@user-nc2qj2jc5q cool for Europe. We aren't Europe. Not even comparable.
@@billyyank5807The US stole their political system from the UK minus the King. The UK is in europe
Lesser evil is the adult choice. Unless your ego gets in the way. Which would be the childish choice voting for Snoopy.
@@billyyank5807 The point is we're are not stuck with two parties to choose from. In the UK we have three main parties and then multiple independent parties. At one point we ended up with two parties sharing control because there was no out right winner meaning to get anything done both sides had to agree. Unlike in the states where if there isnt an out right winner then one branch of the government gets to decide who's president.
The other thing is we don't have an electrol collage choosing the final out come it really is one person one vote.
I know the way the government works between the two countries is totally different however i think if you had more choice then just two parties you might find them work harder for people rather then their own greed and power.
Multiple parties would be good, provided everyone is willing to work together 🙌
There was no serious contender in the Republican party in 2016, so we got Trump. The field hasn't grown much since. After Trump loses there will be a power vacuum with no particular faction drawing enough support to accomplish anything meaningful.
Thank you great info
We're not getting viable third parties until the Electoral College is gone.
Yet another reason why the Electoral College needs to die.
(Also, do not parrot your old, tired, and worn out arguments on why it needs to stay. I've heard them all. They all can be boiled down to "because tradition." They haven't changed in centuries because they apply to a reality that hasn't existed in centuries).
I don't understand why your country does not eliminate the Electoral College. Do they see other country's with an Electoral College? The US is the only country with such a thing. 🇨🇦
@@nil7148 Because tradition.
That sums up every old, tired, and worn out argument in favor of the electoral college. And these arguments are old and tired because they're the reason why the electoral college was created (while leaving out the "so slave states could count 3/5 of thier slaves who can't vote toward thier presidental votes). Reasons that spoke to issues relevant in the late 18th/early 19th century that aren't relevant today.
If it sounds stupid, it's because it is.
The problem is, changing it requires a Constitutional Amendment. As we speak, we are in the longest Constitutional amendment drought in history, which is even longer when you take into account that the last voted in amendment wasn't proposed in the era when it was voted in.
I have been saying this for years, America has four political Parties, Republican MAGA, Republican, Democrats and Progressives. Give American's the right to choose, that is not the case right now.
They will NEVER CHANGE BUT WILL GET WORSE.
20 years ago, that's the last time a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote.
30 years ago Sloppy Joe was showering with his 11 year old daughter. 10 years later Hunter smoked his first crackpipe
$708 Million: This Is How Much George Soros Spent On Politics In One Year Alone
Soros has a multipronged plan to “heal” America of her supposed sins. His medicine includes “nonpartisan” redistricting, stacking federal courts with DEMOCRAT left-wing judges, and a “properly conducted” 2020 Census.
During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending. He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally nonpartisan - but demonstrably ideological - nonprofit organizations.
Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden’s vote margin in key swing states. In places like Georgia, where Biden won by 12,000 votes, and Arizona, where he won by 10,000, the spending likely put him over the top.
This unprecedented merger of public election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic and should be the focus of electoral reform efforts moving forward.
The 2020 election wasn’t stolen - it was likely bought by one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.

In her new book, “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections,” Mollie Hemingway reveals how social-media companies like Twitter and Facebook responded to the 2016 election of Donald Trump to go from free-speech advocates to censors - including blocking The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden. Here, an exclusive excerpt:
Exclusive book excerpt: How Facebook and Twitter rigged the game in 2020
The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) passed a staggering $419.5 million of Zuckerberg’s money into local government elections offices, and it came with strings attached. Every CTCL and CEIR grant spelled out in great detail the conditions under which the grant money was to be used.
This is not a matter of Democrats outspending Republicans. Private funding of election administration was virtually unknown in the American political system before the 2020 election.
Big CTCL and CEIR money had nothing to do with traditional campaign finance, lobbying or other expenses that are related to increasingly expensive modern elections. It had to do with financing the infiltration of election offices at the city and county level by left-wing activists and using those offices as a platform to implement preferred administrative practices, voting methods and data-sharing agreements, as well as to launch intensive outreach campaigns in areas heavy with Democrat voters.
Dodgy Don has broken many things in his life but he now has broken his brain.
It is all his fault and he has nobody else to blame but himself because he didn't seek treatment.
It started with Eisenhower. It's sad. The Republican Party was once a great Party. Lincoln was a Republican.

The GOP is that group of people afraid to cross a frozen lake for fear of falling through. Trump is that one guy who crosses the lake and inspires the test to cross.
Nah, he's the guy who *says* he crossed the lake to convince the others to test the lake for him.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - - -- Billions of Taxpayer Dollars Wasted on Fraud and Abuse
In 2021, according to the Government Accountability Office, the government spent at least $279 billion in known improper payments - an 8.6% improper payment rate - equivalent to more than $2,000 per household. The vast majority of those improper payments are concentrated in welfare programs.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The 2022 Medicaid improper payment rate was 15.62%, or $80.57 billion (it was over 21.7% in 2021). In addition, for CHIP, the 2022 improper payment rate was 26.75%, or $4.30 billion (it was over 31.8% in 2021).
As for Food Stamps, a 2019 report by the Governmental Accountability Office estimates fraud could cost taxpayers anywhere from “$960 million to 4.7 billion.”
In 2021, the Child Tax Credit cash grants had a 13% improper payment rate, costing taxpayers more than $5.2 billion. The IRS projects that 28 percent of Earned Income Tax Credits are improperly paid.
A January 2023 Government Accountability Office report suggested at least $60 billion was lost to fraudulent Unemployment Insurance payments since the start of the pandemic. Some estimates by outside experts say as much as $400 billion, or nearly half, of unemployment benefits paid during the pandemic may have been stolen.
Improper payment rates by program:
Medicaid: 15.6% - $81 billion
CHIP: 27% - $4.3 billion
Child Tax Credit: 13% - $5.2 billion
COVID Unemployment Insurance: nearly 50% - $400 billion
Food Stamps: 6.18% - $960 million - $4.7 billion ^^^ source, BUDGET COMMITTEE
What the GOP don’t realize is he had a bridge built under the ice (but of course stiffed the contractors).
No. He hires someone, to cross the lake for him, and then doesn't pay them.
They are FINALLY saying the quiet part out loud, and we See Who They All Are!
I hope we end up with a Pragmatic Democratic Party like we had when Pres. Obama won in '08.
You can't have a football game with more or less than two teams. Whether you like it or not, that is the system our forefathers bequeathed us.
They didn't have any parties back then
@@markfeland2285 They didn't realize back then that a system where the most votes wins would eventually result is a two party system. But it does. Only the two biggest parties survive. Everybody else eventually merges or goes away.
You can't compare Party's to à football game. The more Party's you have, more things will get done. 🇨🇦
@@drwisdom1 There has been several elections where a third party candidate ran with a lot of votes in many states, including Abraham Lincoln's 1856 election, back when the Republicans were a third party.
A football game is nothing like a presidential election. Some of our founders warned us against political parties.
