“The cuts to your healthcare, all that extra money —nearly a trillion dollars that was taken out— was given to ICE. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face."
#press #healthcare@cbarbermd this is only true insofar as the moronic ‘debt ceiling’ remains a thing. AOC of all people knows there’s no intrinsic limit to funding by the federal government, who uniquely possesses sovereignty over the currency.
It’s a useful tool to invoke emotive action among the uninitiated, but perpetuates a damaging falsehood which legitimises the existence of Billionaires and morbid wealth concentration.

"So what?" if she oversimplifies, in making a valid point. The Corrupt GOP did rip away healthcare access for millions, so that Billionaires don't have to pay taxes. The same Corrupt GOP did dump a VAST pile of taxpayer money on "ICE", a modernized Ku Klux Klan whose role is to steal the next election by ethnic and religious "cleansing", ensuring that only Billionaires control Government. Not very different from what AOC said.

@oldclumsy_nowmad @cbarbermd her framing will be effective because the US has been lobotomised by 3 generations of concerted bipartisan reality suppression.
The point I failed to conclude in my original post is the existence and tolerance of ICE, from an economic perspective, is equivalent to Billionaires. They exist because the government wills them into existence, and it can equally choose to not do so. There’s no intrinsic economic connection between ICE and healthcare. It’s a specious and imaginary thread that helps mask their true nature, invoked to protect the status quo from scrutiny.

@cbarbermd jokes on them, I just cancelled my health insurance
@bebadefabo @cbarbermd No, for real. I didn't bother this year. It was already $800 a month for just me. I never even logged in to see what it would be this year.

#press #healthcareThat is such a ridiculous lie that it is hard to believe that anyone falls for it.

#press #healthcareThe sacrifices MAGA are willing to make just so they can watch women being shot in the face and children, and working people terrified in their lives destroyed.
Absolutely wonderful people, cannot recommend them highly enough /S

@waderoberts @cbarbermd lol, I notice your bio says something about all ideologies being neurotoxic in sufficient concentrations…how about you maybe apply that idea… before you decide to enlighten people with your own brilliance? Maybe it's just not the time or place to MMT 'splain -your- super abstracted esoteric ideological positions to people literally dodging bullets from fascists in their own gov'mint, mkay, thx bye.

@crazyeddie more then 30% of the folks that were on the marketplace for health care in my state last year just dropped our insurance for this year. It's why 2 Republican Congressmen from PA flipped on their ACA support. Health insurance agencies in the state are taking a bath in our piss
