tax cut is an act of not taking money you already possess

Racks up $4T in new national debt

Paying this back would mean taking money I already possess.

Doubles military spending

We had to, because it was necessary to protect all of our private property!

guts Medicaid, shutters thousands of post offices, and raises public tuition by another $5k/semester

Well, we had to be fiscally conservative, or we'd never pay down all that debt.

Gives away another $25B in industry bailouts

We had to protect critical infrasture. It's a national security concern

Approved sale of bailed out critical industry to foreign conglomerate

They can just do it better! Why don't you respect the free market?

More tax cuts to foreign stakeholders of US businesses

Shut up! You just don't understand how economics works!

Finally get a small bump in the child tax credit

This is Communism. America has fallen.

Spot on.

This has been 50 years of unrestrained, enthusiastically sociopathic market capitalism, and America has fallen.
