If the bill does not add to the deficit, then why raise the debt ceiling?
Republicans are waving a $3.8 trillion magic wand over their tax-and-spending megabill, declaring that their extensions of expiring tax cuts have no effect on the federal budget.

There is no reason to raise the debt ceiling if tax cuts pay for themselves.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

Look at what @civicmedia.us is doing in Wisconsin. Working hard to undo the propaganda.
The right wing literally spent 50 years building a massive, successful propaganda apparatus across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable, and the Internet that fills the public's heads with pebbles and hatred 24/7
we can't selectively unpair electoral delusion from the long, successful attack on the press

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.
