So the government allocates $600 million for detention centers....

[BeneteauBum]

But cuts Medicaid, kid’s food programs, NOAA, NASA, and public radio funding. There is something seriously wrong here. I don’t feel safe.

1. ARRRRRR MATEY

What you described is the truth and easy stuff. It’s easy to slash and cut. It takes a lot of thought and money management skills and patience (what Dems Do) to do the right thing for the masses. Conservatives don’t see the masses. They see the need for larger yachts at the Marina. They spend other peoples money to meet that need. Not caring that they are kicking the slats right out of their beds. Slowly but surely we all will reap what those with conservative values have sowed.

4. You're right "kicking the slats right out of their beds..."

That's because of their naive assumptions. So many of the ultra rich aren't come from nothing stories - but rather come from money - at least enough money so they never heard their parents arguing about it. They've been were surrounded metaphorically with goose down pillows as children and young adults. They think that all they need to do to solve a problem is to throw more money at it and everything they want is as easy as ordering take out delivered to the guard house of their gated community.
