#Taxes #MedicareForAll #NationalHealthCare #GOPCircus
Why don't republicans ever ask "how are we going to pay for it?" when the spending is on tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations, like they do about, say, Medicare for all?
When President Trump cut the federal revenue 15% and gave it to the rich, the republicans never said a word about "how are we going to pay for it?"
Incidentally, it created 1.5 trillion dollar deficit. -
