Politicians Don’t Care About Their Grandchildren

The verdict for this episode is: the deficit of the United States doesn’t matter.

I discuss how each president for the last 92 years with the exception of Clinton has added to the deficit. I also show how the drivers of deficits are military spending and tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

I Don’t Have a Reason

The verdict for this episode is: if I had one or two reasons, I would vote for Biden.

In this episode, I discuss the fact that Biden and I agree on no important policy issues. Since we don’t, I don’t have a reason to vote for him.

In this episode, I use Biden’s recent comments about black voters and the House bill to show how the Democratic Party only cares about Karen.

Democrats Want Meghan McCain’s Vote More Than Mine

The verdict for this episode is: Democrats care more about politics and power than people.

I discuss the lack of real opposition to the Electoral College, Biden’s support of people voting during a pandemic, Pelosi’s disinterest in providing oversight of the money being spent by the Treasury, how little Congress has done for people, and the reality that only AOC voted against the last bill.

Coronavirus and Politics

The verdict for this episode is: Congress has once again failed the American people.

In this episode, I discuss how the bill being sold by Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats fails America. Topics covered include: the tying of benefits to inadequate testing; cutting people’s pay because they need to care for someone who is sick; and the bill’s failure to address predictable shortcomings in available hospital beds and medical equipment.
