It’d be great if a future Democratic president decided to unilaterally spend $1 billion a day on education, healthcare and housing because that’s apparently something the executive branch can do without anyone’s approval.

Edit: I was being stingy with a week—it’s a day

@Holberg If you're talking about the Iran fiasco, I think it's $1 billion a day, not a week.

@DeanFarrell @Holberg And estimates of the first week, at least, put it at almost $2B/day.

@Holberg something any party can do if they control all branches of the government.

@weyoun6 @Holberg
This overlooks one tiny, but very important detail… All the money in America stands behind the fascists, regardless of who gets elected to office. And over 90% of the so-called opposition party is beholden to the people with the money.

So we not only need to take control of all three branches of government; we need to replace over half of the seats currently occupied by Democrats with democratic socialists or some other anti-capitalist equivalent.

Remember the names of the bigots who starved American education for decades to get segregation & Jim Crow rebuilt.

Their selfishness bought an electorate with an average literacy level of 6th grade.

Their inability to share America with everyone is beyond evil.

Like His Dad, Charles Koch Was a Bircher (New Documents)

Many have noted that the Koch Brothers' dad was a Bircher, but new documents show Charles was, too.
