Where are our numbers crunchers???

Somebody MUST take Krasnov's bastardized budget + break it down so every person in every community
in every state knows + understands exactly how this bill affects every individual living in the US today...

We need a creative, cunning + unconventional vision to address this unscrupulous + mercurial threat to
America's wellbeing as well as her pocketbook. We need to scream this truth from the rooftops + across
each + every medium + platform.

Ma + Pa know we can only spend what's in those envelopes spread out on the kitchen table. No more $$$
is coming in until payday... + Dog help us either one of us gets laid off. Dems need to paint the grimness of
this picture so there is no mistake + so there is no doubt where to point the finger...

We need to know EXACTLY how much debt Krasnov has saddled each + every American, every child, every
generation to come... to the penny... All the debt w/ interest... All his "infrastructure"... All his war games...
All his gilt + glitter splashed across the White House... All the $$$ spent on golf + "security" + law suits +
airplanes...

The Dems need to BREAK IT DOWN so there is ABSOLUTELY no mistaking how totally f**ked Krasnov's Big
Bastardized Budget will leave Americans... without jobs... without savings... without Social Security... without
Medicaid... without SNAP... without schools... without colleges... without energy... without heating + cooling...
without HOPE... without TRUST... without leadership...

Without these facts, this may be the end of the world as we know it... Let us do our homework while there is
still time to keep the rollercoaster on its tracks...

You can crunch numbers all day long it won't matter to MAGA supporters and politicians.

What matters to them is the suffering. And make no mistake about it. Some billy bubba in south Alabama in his red hat is thrilled to suffer if it means some "eeee legal" or "NYC welfare queens" suffer too.

Pain is the point, not the math.

Yet those f-ing red hats need to SEE the pain... FEEL the pain...

They think they're immune... They think they're invincible...
They think it won't happen to them --

The TRUTH is IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM...

The TRUTH may set a few free... + those few may make the difference...

Not trying is what will kill us all...

There is plenty of information out there on the implications of the bill - how many people will lose Medicaid, SNAP, etc by Congressional District for instance.

if a Democratic roundtable quickly convenes and gives them something to cover.

The details are so esoteric that MSNBC would lose viewership covering it.
