left out in this report:
45* started this in 2018, the wall is useless, economic shutdown has ripple effect not only on those receiving government assistance and government workers, but those who provide goods and services for those people.

oh well, at least rich people pay less in taxes and can keep all their shell corporations off-shored, it’s worth it.

I am a very grateful Prime Member Alumni and grandmothered in, or I wouldn’t be on TPM. I got this notice and they paid me Febs and after that, 58% of my food bill is my business. Keto, anyone?

As much as I feel sorry for those on welfare and food stamps who will be hurt by this, I would like to be able to separate those who voted for tRump, and completely discontinue their federal assistance.

I would apply that to CEO’s who voted for the shit-stain too; their companies don’t deserve to continue to receive corporate welfare.
