    tax cut is an act of not taking money you already possess

    Racks up $4T in new national debt

    Paying this back would mean taking money I already possess.

    Doubles military spending

    We had to, because it was necessary to protect all of our private property!

    guts Medicaid, shutters thousands of post offices, and raises public tuition by another $5k/semester

    Well, we had to be fiscally conservative, or we’d never pay down all that debt.

    Gives away another $25B in industry bailouts

    We had to protect critical infrasture. It’s a national security concern

    Approved sale of bailed out critical industry to foreign conglomerate

    They can just do it better! Why don’t you respect the free market?

    More tax cuts to foreign stakeholders of US businesses

    Shut up! You just don’t understand how economics works!

    Finally get a small bump in the child tax credit

    This is Communism. America has fallen.
