It's immoral no matter how you look at it. [View all]

[Pale Blue Dot]

If the President really thinks that chained CPI is some kind of answer, it's an immoral position. In fact, I haven't seen a single person on this website, even the "centrists", argue that it's a good idea or justifiable in any way except one.

What I have seen people say, over and over again, is that we need to trust the President. That it's strategy. He's got this.

But you know what? Even if the centrists are correct and this is a long term plan to make the Republicans look foolish, even if this is a game of "3D chess" that the President is going to win (debatable) , it's still immoral. Why? Because the poor and the elderly are the ones being used as the pawns. It's despicable.

I'm not saying I'm going to vote third party. I won't even say I've completely lost faith. But I will say I had an image of the President as a man with a moral compass, even if I didn't always agree with him. That's gone now. For good.
