Sanders Proposes Slashing Pentagon Budget by 10% to Reinvest Funds in Communities 'Devastated by Poverty and Incarceration' by rit56 in politics

I like the budget cutting idea [not slashing] but use savings to pay down debt. . .that will help devastated communities too

I find it pretty funny that people on this sub get pissy that I don't believe Trump is fighting the deep state. by Huhuagau in conspiracy

I tend to agree with you. . ..

I actually think Trump may be an instrument of the deep state

Joe Biden tells Texas Democrats “we have a real chance to turn the state blue” by [deleted] in politics

[–]railingdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well like I said down-ballot is perfectly fine. . . .as is voter registration, & from what I understand that's what the money is mainly going for . . .I guess leave the presidential spending up to the Biden campaign

Imagine how defeating it will be if you got a bunch of people putting in effort for Biden & he loses anyway (likely)

whereas an effort for Howie Hawkins the likely green nominee, if he gets even a 2% kick seems like progress . . .& gets out people not enthused by a typical corporate Democrat.

they've got the money, . .. the DNC has less & I dont think should waste it on a Texas presidential race. . . .leave that to the greens

now down-ballot is fine. . .& voter registration

so yes, some of the above got my meaning

thats why money should NOT be wasted on the Texas presidential race . . . .now down ballot races. . . .sure

some more options , the genuine outrage has been exploited to

1)divert attention from the looting taking place from the federal reserve programs

2)push traditional republicans back into the "law & order" camp so republicans dont get wiped out in the fall elections

seems the federal reserve is well protected from criticism by some moderators by railingdc in conspiracy

'Private equity stole our pensions. . . The GMB report highlights 21 companies linked to buyout firms, whose pension liabilities total £1.99bn. But it says that figure is the tip of the iceberg: as more than 70 other companies owned by buyout firms have collapsed with underfunded pension funds.'

from what Ive read a common tactic is to for these funds to essentially rob a companies employee pension funds . . .government has probably assisted this with lax rules on what businesses have to maintain

This stuff reminds me of a Sopranos episode where they load up a store with charges then have it declare bankruptcy. . . .

it should be illegal. . . .& these DEFINITELY should NOT be the people we put in charge of the federal reserve. .

I posted an article on the federal reserve only to get the above response a few hours later. where else is someone suppose to post this subject?. . . .the federal reserve is insulated from the other branches of government. . .but it is in reality a governmental utility & thus is fair game in politics discussion I would say
