A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost.
That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves."
Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.
And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.
Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Ladies, do you know about the Equal Opportunity Credit Act? Since 1974, it has let you get a credit card, or a business loan, or a bank account, without the signature of a male relative. The regime wants to kill it and has taken the first boundary-testing step to do so. 🤬
I'm glad I'm not the only one raising the red flags and screaming about this.
