Yeah, they are good at that. I remember a favorite Halloween costume for us kids was to be a "hobo" or "Bum" where we smeared black shoe polish on our cheeks and chin for "whiskers", wore baggy, dirty clothes then put our "belongings" in a sack tied to the end of a stick we'd carry over our shoulders. At least back then the language was honest... Illegal Aliens and Bums. Lower grade Halloween parades in our school featured many such costumes as they were "free" which was the perfect price for our neighborhood. My guess is kids would get "expelled" if they came to school in that sort of costume today. Now they are called "migrants" and "people experiencing homelessness". While driving, if you have a flat tire on the freeway and pull over, I believe they still refer to it as a "disabled vehicle" but if an athlete blows out a knee he/she now goes on the "injured list". Orwell would be proud.

How about the "Inflation Reduction Act." They learned the language of Marxist's very well. Saul Alinsky would be proud of his disciples. :))

I can’t believe that these guys just throw money at all problems and don’t ask any one to work harder! I would be ok if they don’t collect income taxes to the tune of 25k from every first time buyer - but don’t throw money at people! Some would say it is the same thing - govt will give/not take 25k from a person. Yes - but it can be setup over 5 years or something. Also philosophy is different in the two. I was also against the federal govt not taking out state and local taxes + real estate taxes completely out of income before taxing federally. We need more ways of reducing the tax burden. Trump and republicans did it just to punish the coasts.
