If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

Australia is one of the world’s biggest coal exporters and they can permit generation that won’t burn money over its lifetime. How is this so hard for the US Administration?

People will literally freeze and fry in their homes. This is a death sentence for people experiencing poverty.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.
There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake
