“Left” and “progressive” get thrown around a lot for the Liberals and NDP — but both prop up the same capitalist power structure. That’s not left. That’s just right-wing with better branding. msbuckleyteaching.weebly.com/government1....

Deficit hawkishness has historically functioned more as a political tool than a governing principle for many Republicans — invoked to block opponents’ priorities, then set aside when the agenda shifts to defense spending and tax reduction. #deficit

Is the @nytimes updates written to grab the readers attention? Is it jet lag? Irregardless, this is a group of narcissists that require constant ego stroking, cues from a man with cognitive dysfunction, etc. What a bitter disappointment.

Hurricane Melissa is a slow moving Cat 5 with a projected path through Jamaica, Haiti, DR, the Bahamas, etc. and up to Bermuda. Jamaica has not had a direct hit for many years. Anxiety is high because islanders know a slow moving, intense storm does the most damage.

This along with tax policies contributed to the decline of middle class and aided the rise of the oligarchy class. It’s why the proposed tax cuts have a them v us feel.
