      Don’t say this around any conservative. They only believe in cutting taxes.

      They always have these “household budget” analogies when it comes to the government, but even in a “household budget” situation one solution to overcoming debt is to find a way to raise your income so you can pay down the debt faster…Facepalm

      That generally also does not go over well in the media.

      Conservatives make a mess to their advantage and win/win every time

        Sure, because the media is generally profit oriented and therefore aligned with capitalist interests. We need more mutually supported and supportive media and journalism.
