Tariff revenue = sales tax. But the GoP loves its regressive taxes, doesn't it?

Thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of women and children aren't going hungry. You're welcome.

Thousands and hundreds of thousands ARE, more than under Biden. Trump's cuts to food aid have kept American families who rely on SNAP and food banks from being able to access meat, milk and eggs. We don't appreciate it.

In addition, the cuts to foreign aid are resulting in tens of thousands of deaths (mostly of vulnerable children) worldwide.

Not it hasn't lmao. Turn off the TV, go touch some grass, & maybe go for a nature walk. Don't be brainwashed - it's not worth it

Your condescension is misplaced, and the lack of empathy implied is frankly disgusting.

Lmao then you add a NPR link in your response. NPR is literally leftist propaganda and has been for years, same as PBS. They parrot the same talking points as every other fake news out there.

I know plenty of people on WIC Snap & Government Housing, all citizens too - not a single one of them has lost any benefits.

What you're being told are people going hungry are people who engaged in fraud and people who were not entitled to the benefits in the first place.

My sister & her kids - not a dime lost, my mom (disability) not a dime lost - my dad is a Veteran & hasn't lost any veterans services... All citizens. My daughter's boyfriend's sister - legal migrants that became citizens, haven't lost a dime.

Turn off the news, turn off NPR, tune out the propaganda & learn to think independently. I feel sorry for you, you've obviously spent a long under that spell.

When you finger Kermit and Grover as "leftist propaganda", it may be your problem and not theirs.

Did you know that Sesame Street hasn't had a Republican based Personality Guest Star since Laura Bush in 2003? Then prior to that - it was Barbara Bush in 1990.

Where as Democrat guests are basically every other episode. These include Jill Biden, Hillary Clinton, Mr and Mrs Obama on separate occasions, Sonia Sotamayor...

Then there's the Hollywood Democrat Machine as well.

Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Jessica Parker, Steve Carell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jim Carrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Hanks, Viola Davis, Liam Neeson, Ian McKellen, John Legend, Jon Hamm, and Bill Hader and many many many more.

Then there's topics that lean liberal - like Big Bird tweeting to get vaccinated, Cookie Monster tweeting about Shrinkflation, having Gay and Transgender Individuals head line an entire episode, even making fun of Donald Trump with a muppet named Donald Grump.

The people making the decisions have decided to lean to the left & black list conservative guests. So what the children get out of that - is Left Leaning talking points that shape them into Democrats by planting seeds of Democrat ideas.

That kind of bias is literally what propaganda is.

So far: you think that Children's literacy, having a variety of leaders and the germ theory of disease "lean liberal". Your problem may not be with PBS per se, but with reality.

Telling kids to vaccinate with Muppets? Yes - that's liberal propaganda, especially when the Vaccines weren't necessary & didn't prevent getting the disease. Having Cookie Monster talk about Shrinkflation - when the issue was just regular inflation from Government spending? Yes - that's propaganda (blaming corporations for rising prices).

I said nothing about Children's literacy. But since we are topic - a lot of kids today that watch PBS (free TV is most often used by those who can't afford traditional TV sources) are reading at sub par levels by 6th Grade, so the education factor isn't really hitting home.

I don't have a problem - because I'm not plugged into the Main Stream Media machine like you obviously are though.

Nice try - you disproved nothing I said & brought something to the table that is a non talking point due to the delivery method of PBS teaching kids to read... Doesn't work in reality. Disconnect yourself from the propaganda machine & you'll start to notice the propaganda.

Until then - you're no better than German citizens who praised Hitler. They were just as misinformed.
