I wonder how we are so dynamic while having an inexhaustible pull towards stability regardless if the status quo is dreadful and we feel a desire for growth and change? We possess the compassion to ‘save’ one expending resources without restraint yet we have nothing left for the systemic problems. I love our unpredictability and cringe at our callous disregard.
I’ll end with the 2019 house budget proposal causes me to cringe. The entire budget is built on the lie that we need to make tough choices to be ‘fiscal responsible’. This is a bigger lie than the Democrats are responsible for family separations at the border. It is completely unintelligible to first reduce income by trillions of dollars, followed by increases in spending in excess of the budget levels set by sequestration (which entire purpose was not continue to grow expenditures in excess of income) then propose a budget that calls for enormous cuts to Social Security and Medicare, increases to military spending to levels so far beyond need as to ensure trillions of waste, topped off with vicious cuts to the marginalized as part of ‘reform’.
Cruelty is the reason for such cuts as it is made clear that the reduction of this spending has virtually no impact on balancing the budget, yet it’s all worth it to ensure multigenerational poverty while blaming those who are in proverty as ‘lazy’.
It does not have to be this way. Unlike slavery for slaves, this is a choice. (Paul Ryan is not a wonk, he uses the appearance of intellectualism to create enough fear and panic so that it appears not be a choice to put millions in poverty, rather it’s simply must be done to persevere our ‘sovereignty’)
Last - to be ultra clear - this budget whether it passes or not documents the Republicans values as follows -
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy
2) Waste trillions on military spending
3) Cut any program to those who may need assistance because they don’t deserve it.
4) Cut Social Security and Medicare to pay for 1 and 2.
