M4A costs around $20 trillion, at least according to Warren's plan. Republicans don't tell us how much debt they create, they just create it and no one in their party cares. They're shameless in their ability to lie. They still think Reagan, the guy who created more debt than all his predecessors combined was a fiscal conservative. It's amazing to see what propaganda did to their party. I think they could convince the party faithful that up is down and down is up. It'd take about 30-seconds.

Dems can't talk about the cost of anything but instead talk about how much it adds to the economy. But the cost bothers me. We can't afford anything. They bankrupted us with their wars and tax cuts. The legacy of the gop is and always will be massive debt. Now it's only a matter of time before it all collapses.

I like Pete too but intelligence doesn't work anymore. Republicans like idiots. Look at Reagan, a man who couldn't do basic math, Palin, Gingrich, Bush and Trump. Convincing them that intelligent people know what they're talking about when they think idiots are gods is a tough sell.

The biggest threat to our Constitution is the Supreme Court. McConnell was able to control his herd with black money because the Roberts Court made bribery and blackmail legal for members of Congress and the oligarchs. Pete has a solution, more judges. Without more judges the Constitution can't be resurrected.

As for the name-calling, they've been doing it since Limbaugh went on the air decades ago. We didn't respond to that idiot because he's an idiot. We didn't know he was creating a generation of idiots. Legal subpoenas aren't legal anymore. Why? Because the idiots say so. Up is down and down is up. It takes only 30-seconds.
