    Is anyone surprised? Just about every millionaire/billionaire business person is going to vote Trump because he’s told them repeatedly he’s going to cut their taxes. That’s bad news for the rest of us working people because our taxes will have to go up to make up for those cuts.

      Well I’m certainly surprised that the WaPo itself produced a story about it. Someone over there has some cajones.

      They’ll just cut services in order to make things even harder for people. Then they’ll say, “see, government doesn’t work!” Then they’ll privatize everything.

        I’m waiting for this to happen. The old Republican supporters don’t realize or care that the GOP will cut their Medicare and Social Security as well. By the time they figure it out, it’ll be too late. Or hell, maybe they won’t care because they were able to take advantage even though they’ll be dead soon, just as long as anyone else won’t have anything to help.

        This is why neo-liberals and neo-cons are two sides of the same coin. Both want public money funneled into private hands; they only differ on whose hands.

      The long story here is that they made the bed they’re laying in. Treating Trump as a serious leader, either out of fear or greed, instead of protecting the integrity of journalism and, by extension, democracy has led us here.
