Biden Thread

...it would take a miracle to pass landmark legislation with 51 Senators, let alone 50.

I will bet the farm that when the discussion comes up for a new fighter jet to replace the 1 TRILLION DOLLAR disaster known as the F-35, there will be no shortage of senator votes from both sides required to fund the new aircraft. And these same congressmen/women can't agree on bettering the employment conditions for millions of Americans by raising the minimum wage. Is it any wonder why folks hate big government?

Defense spending is a jobs guarantee for a lot of STEM jobs. Who cares about the F-35, do any of us expect WW3 to break out between US and China and not end in a nuclear holocaust?

It isn't a problem with Big Government, it is a problem with Corrupt Government. The only thing that benefits from shrinking government is those who already have - so big companies and high net worth individuals; unchecked local government can be equally corrupt and so strong, independent oversight should be what is sought for, not making things worse.
