The Rs were in control of BOTH Houses of Congress and could have shut this worthless leftist welfare scheme down. But Paul Ryan did nothing other than to agree to tax cuts for his wealth donors. He should never have been allowed to remain as Speaker after Trump won.

Paul Ryan

Reading his name makes me sick to my stomach.

Why do you think that was?

My working hypothesis is the Media has been the power most feared by legislators for over 50 years.

The Media has pretty much spoken with one Progressive voice since about 1965. It is not a conspiracy of backrooms so much as a conspiracy of a unified ideology.

Paul Ryan married into a wealthy Dem family. He swallows.
Q made a mistake in letting the GOP traitors walk.

“Freedom of the press” does not include the government subsidizing some of it. In fact, it seems counter intuitive that government should be in the broadcasting business at all, unless you think of despotic states and their state run media.

I like how you called it a welfare scheme.

In this day and age with Trillions of dollars of debt and a mounting public safety crisis, we should not be sending money to some two-bit propaganda outlet.
