(1,076 posts)I'm an old white guy, and several years ago, I became thoroughly disgusted with our government because of the lack of diversity. I have enjoyed the results of the 2018 election.
But, I've never seen so much ignorance displayed with regards to peoples needs and wordsmithing to avoid the wrath of dip stick. He leads with outstanding ignorance and it seems the GOP is following suit.
You know, that an investment in people where they live will help that local community. There is an economic multiplier that rises up as opposed to trickle down. Invest in all the local and state governments, they are our safety net. But, they also, spend in their community. Fast food, restaurants (testing), stores.
Finally, pay your taxes. They help your state, local, and national governments. The taxes are the cheapest way to move money around , with out too much corporate influence. I like my tax dollars going to the social programs, urban or rural.
