Democrats can raise the debt ceiling, but aren't

...anyone who specifically causes the shutdown should have to have their funds and salaries cut drastically fro 4x the time the government is shut down..

I'm a little more hard-handed on this idea...

"should have to have their funds and salaries cut"

I would change that to "should have their penis and/or clitoris cut off".

But I am not 100% mean, because you notice the "and/or" bit? So that would also include any hermaphrodites we have in Congress.

See? I am very sensitive to the issues with gender we face!

Problem is all the government shutdowns that do occur fuck over thousands of regular government non-political workers by cutting off salary or contracts. .

On the other hand, the excessive always-growing number of "regular non-political workers" is/are one of the reasons why the budget is always out of control. The people who pay their salaries -ie. the regular Americans- are not exempt from uncertainties.

If lefties and their ilk (which include many/most governnment workers want all this ultra-woke stuff then achieving saving elsewhere to help pay for it should be expected/required. Not my problem if some progressive woke problem costs some lefty government workers else their job. Should be more of it.

In the real world there is not much uncertainty for them to worry about. Oh, I see, they had to worry and watch the news for a few days now and then. Nothing compared to working for or owning a small business, a farm, or working in the corporate world where the deck gets reshuffled quarterly.

There is simply no comparison between the spending of Democrats and Republicans. There is a huge differences in what these two political parties spend on and what they don't. One party is hell bent on trying to destroy democratic government and replace it with a fascist autocracy, the other party wants to preserve democracy and invest in the future. In my lifetime, there has never been a greater difference between the two parties than RIGHT NOW.

LOL. Hyperbole much? Both parties are equally corrupt, equally indifferent to the pain they cause the average American and equally ready to stick it up your arse for another term in office.

One could argue guns are better than butter.
Especially free butter.

IMO nothing could be further from the truth. Feel free to try and convince me otherwise.

I have never seen such an argument. But i have seen it claimed that butter is being bought when in fact it's guns.

But what about those whose penis or clitoris was previously amputated in an horrific accident with a robotic lawnmower (hey Siri, cut the grass… argh nooooooo…)? Would they get off scot free? That might be construed as anti-genitalia discrimination.

Lets you and I play a game. You list one corruption democrats have done and I will name one republicans have done and let’s see how equal the corruption really is.
