    We have a trillionaire, but we can’t afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we’re missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you’d have the makings of the French Revolution.

        This is horse shit.

        The government is not a business, its not (supposed to be) run like a business. It exists to provide needed things for its people that private entities can’t effectively do because those things cannot be effectively profitable for private businesses without causing harm to the life of its people.

          Whatever you replied to is deleted, but i hate when a government says xyz program wasn’t profitable. Like fuck profit, was it working? Did it help the community? You dont need to make a profit on everything, but it should be an ultimate good for the country/community which will help it thrive and grow in a effective manner.
