‘Bad players’ now lead government
A sliver of our government’s destruction is Grover Norquist’s declaring free filing on the IRS website “illegal.” Everything that enables citizen access is off limits to the man who wants to shrink government to a size that can be “drowned in a bathtub.” Who benefits?
$880 billion cut from Medicaid threatens nursing home care for all of us and essential health care for the most vulnerable. But it will lessen the embarrassing deficit when tax cuts are extended and enhanced. Thirteen billionaires in the Cabinet will be further enriched. Who benefits?
Ross Ulbricht, who operated the dark web Silk Road, distributed lethal drugs across the world. Andrew and Tristan Tate, charged with sex trafficking, were brought to Florida; even DeSantis objected. Exonerated and supported despite toxic misogyny. Who benefits?
And why punish Canada and Mexico when Silk Road has done so much worse in drug distribution? Who benefits?
