Subject: Budget/Economy

Representative (Name of),

I am writing to you today to suggest that unless you are an economic expert, you should be seeking out information by recognized experts in the field on the disaster that is currently unfolding. Have some courage and do not listen to the Trump sycophants spouting propaganda. Your constituents will not let you off with a cheap, cowardly excuse.

it's downright infuriating. It's as if only Democrats are expected to behave in any responsible manner, on behalf of the people, while their craven, cowardly, and essentially USELESS elected officials continue to get free rein to f** America any which way they can.

anyone who stands up to him, so Republicans want Democrats to take all the risks.

They are pathetic people, which is why I turn away from anyone who identifies themselves as Republicans. They're not even human.

I mean, how many times do Democrats have to clean up GOP messes? Their only governing strategy is to whine that Dems are not cleaning up their messes fast enough. That was Trump's message in 2024 (and his usual lawlessness and corruption too).

at least since President Carter got Nixon's inflation under control. A successful charlatan doesn't change tactics as long as the rube is still fooled.

But they don't. I wish they and they alone could absorb the consequences of their actions.

Fuck 'em! Let THEM push hard since it's THEIR mess to begin with! Why can't THEY slam the door in his face? They're the ones who invited him to the party in the first place. THEY'RE the ones who should take out the trash. After all, it's THEIR trash.

is to take credit for the clean up.

They’d rather give orders and have somebody else do the hard or “dirty” work for them?

Because they’d rather not bother or they want to keep their heads down so they don’t incur his wrath?

Whenever a Republican speaks, I always tend to want a second opinion, because I don’t feel like trusting the first one.
