That whole thing seemed to magically disappear. Nothing magic about it. Obama weaponized institutions within the federal government (And media) to attack and silence his opposition. The tea party was his first victim. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I appreciate your posts and this is all rec time for me, but the "right" has the number 1 cable news network(by a large margin) as well as prominent voices like Ben Shapiro(brilliant guy) and Candace Owens(vapid opportunist) all over Twitter talking about the issues du jour. Very little, if any talk about the deficit. You may be underestimating the import of SOCIAL "media" in terms of where news is consumed. I suppose the tax cuts will pay for themselves and we'll all get sick of winning, but still. What if that doesn't happen? Gotta have a thorough debate about this issue at some point because it's not sustainable. Edited December 25, 2019 by LSHMEAB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have a thorough debate about this issue at some point because it's not sustainable. Don’t mistake me, my answer was not about the deficit at all (we don’t disagree there, though I’m not an economist and thus listen much more than contribute on those topics as a general ). I was simply addressing the top part of your post because I’m guessing you’re unaware of that bit of history. (*Not because of anything having to do with you, but due to the fact the media didn’t cover that much at all outside the right leaning outlets) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
