Ted Lieu Retweeted Jeff Stein

Last year @realDonaldTrump & @GOP ran on the Wall. Dems ran on healthcare. Dems flipped the House & won every statewide seat in PA, WI & MI.

@POTUS now proposes billions for the Wall & cuts of hundreds of billions to Medicare. That's a special kind of stupid.

deficit because this present administration assholes alongwith the present GOP assholes are sucking up every resource that the USA needs to for a balanced economy.

Therefore, they need to steal and take away more while collecting more additional monies from middle class and poor through tax cuts that 80% or more favor the rich.

Apparently, the USA is slowly going into a recession.

I'm not going to bother looking up the YouTube clips to post here, because I'm sure most DUers saw them.

But he campaigned on not touching SS, Medicare, and Medicaid.

And now he wants to touch.

Campaign ads from Democrats MUST include the "I won't touch it" clips.

Trump is campaigning on "Promises Kept," Democrats have been on MSNBC in the last few days floating "Promises Broken."

Works for me.

While ReTHUGs are trying to frighten you about the Southern Border, they are stealing your healthcare and Social Security.
