GOP: We want a balanced budget!

So repeal Trump’s $2.1T billionaire tax cuts?
•GOP: NO!

End corporate welfare?
•GOP: NO!

Audit bloated military budget?
•GOP: NO!

How will you balance the budget?

GOP: Cut veteran assistance, cut Medicare, cut social security, block student debt forgiveness, cancel food stamps, & cancel free school lunch

@QasimRashid An exact replica of our County Commissioner meeting when one of them proposed not putting money towards feeding hungry families and instead wanted to put 1.5 million to programs that would stop out of wedlock pregnancies and two parent (heterosexual) households.

@QasimRashid so, like most things the GOP says, they say one thing and mean another. They don't want a "balanced" government budget. They want a gutted one.

GOP: Entitlements suck!

Everyone: So eliminate the entitlements for the wealthy.

GOP: Now you just hold up on that “woke” agenda right there…

@QasimRashid Our right wing parties in NZ are similar, but it's playing with the stationary budget when the building needs a new roof and foundation.

@QasimRashid As Al Franken once brilliantly framed it, Republican efforts to balance the budget by cutting social programs while ignoring tax giveaways and defense spending are like someone trying to lose weight by giving up anchovies.

All of which adds up to about 0.2% of the budget.

@QasimRashid That's starting to sound like the rhetoric used by the Conservative Party here in Canada lately.
