The cruelest part of scapegoating immigrants is pretending it was ever a plan to make your life cheaper. The economy doesn’t care who politicians tell you to blame. You can’t lower the cost of living by removing the people who build homes, harvest and prepare food, and keep businesses running.

Republicans call it socialism when it feeds kids. Then Trump hands farmers $12 billion, buys a 9.9% stake in Intel, and offers you $5,000 if Republicans win in November all with taxpayer money.

"Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money.'
Babe.
Republicans run all of Washington, and the debt just hit $40 trillion.
Trump promised to erase the debt, then added $11 trillion instead.
Trump's tariffs crushed farmers, then he handed them $12 billion of your money.

I'm sick and tired of Americans screaming Democrats equal socialism and communism. No one in the US or in the Western World wants socialism.
What we have in Europe, Canada, New Zealand and a lot of other countries around the World, is Social Democracy, which is capitalism with a social safety net. No one goes bankrupt being sick or giving birth, everybody can have an education, no one is left on the streets.
