We’re in the midst of a global pandemic with massive unemployment, an enormous number of looming evictions, and the worst economic depression since the 1930s. Now is NOT the time to be a deficit hawk.

(Or might be). They trot out “OMG THE DEFICIT!!!” when they need a “reason” for cutting the safety net yet again.

The losses are tiny compared to the cost of the Trump tax cuts. The losses of $9 billion per year for the PO is less than 5% of the over $200 billion per year in GOP tax cuts for the wealthy. That post office loss amounts to about 27 cents (1/2 a stamp) per American per week.
I am outraged that that libertarian scum would try to dismantle our government and sell it off to the highest bidder. Trump thinks the rich should own the government and that it should make a profit for them. Paul supports Trump.

YOU built that

If you can’t practice responsible policy, then start doing right by the taxpayers.
