I just got caught up in reading the rest, came back here, and see that I'm not the only one.
It took me quite a while to figure it out.

we can afford anything we want as a country, but mostly what we afford is what the richest people in the country want, period!


Medicare has been on the books for over 50 years and is a huge success, but in the last 50 years we CAN"T under any circumstances can we have medicare for everybody, but I can sing the sky-rizzii song by heart....Nothing is everything...How the fuck is that, oh it's playing on the shit box every fucking day...How is that...The drug companies are bursting with money. but we can't have medicare for all...OMFG

My 71 year old mom complains about medicare all the time but she won't refuse it, nor will she vote for a politician who wants to give to everybody, cause that would be socialism and too expensive.

Fast food workers have to work because they are considered essential???? They get to expose themselves to a deadly pandemic just so they can earn pennies, eat and pay their rent. They are not essential. No one has ever died from NOT eating a McDonald's burger. But I bet a lot of people have died from having to work at McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell, KFC, Chick-fil-A, Arby's and Dairy Queen.

Essential my butt, it's a sacrifice to Capitalism and the filthy rich. We must have our ritual slaughter to allow a dystopian economic system to continue. Capitalism is killing us.

Everyone at DU should be able to recognize hits false-equalizing Democrats with Republicans. "Excellent"? Really?

Btw, senators typically have congressional staffs of several dozen professionals. Plus, all the committees bills come out of also have high-level staffs, Lawrence O'Donnell-type professionals. OF COURSE Democratic senators and their staffers not only actually research, negotiate, and create the Democratic legislation the senate votes on, but of course they read, analyze, and if called for negotiate changes to the other bills they vote on.

There are only two independent senators, so perhaps Senator Sanders is the only one of those who reads all bills before voting?
