WASHINGTON, D.C.—Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has been pressed a lot on how she plans to pay for Medicare for All — a plan that could require $34 trillion in additional federal spending over ten years — without raising taxes on the middle class. Today, she finally revealed her plan: a new Canon color printer she purchased.

Free Stuff!

Never before have presidential candidates offered voters so much “free” stuff.
Kamala Harris wants you to “collect up to $500 a month.”
Elizabeth Warren says, “We need to go tenfold in our research and development in green energy.”
No one has tracked the cost of all of the promises. So my video team did!
Who will spend the most?

THE DEMOCRAT “FREE SHIT” DEBATE IN 90 SECONDS
Civil Rites of Passage
Guest Post by Stilton Jarlsberg
In order to cultivate the approval of black voters, Jewish Bernie Sanders is inviting the Reverend Al Sharpton to “feel the bern.” Which is ironic, considering that was also the last phrase heard by the seven people torched at Freddy’s Fashion Mart after Sharpton inspired an angry black mob to set fire to the store out of hatred for (wait for it!) Jews.
At the summit meeting of these two enormous hypocrites, Sharpton questioned the aging socialist on important policy issues like guaranteeing racial discrimination in employment (Affirmative Action), preventing police officers from making arrests of criminals of color or protecting their own lives, and the water quality in Flint, Michigan. Water which is hated simply because it’s brown.
Of course, Sharpton’s endorsement of a Democratic candidate will only go to the highest bidder, which is why Hillary Clinton will also be meeting with the emaciated race-baiter to kiss his, uh, ring.
Still, Bernie has got a decided edge in cultivating Rev Al’s favor. After all, he’s the one promising the biggest boost in entitlements for the nation’s underclasses. But unfortunately, such entitlements have become a modern form of slavery which gives complete control to those holding the checkbook.
Hope n’ Change doesn’t actually think that Bernie sees this (while we’re damn sure that Hillary does), and that his intentions are probably good. But we know where the road paved with such intentions inevitably leads (even if the White House is a rest stop on the way).
Case in point: Bernie is gleefully shouting that he’ll give free college to everyone. But what good is free college to black students who’ve been trapped by Democrats in underperforming inner city schools and denied the ability to choose a real education? Many black students “graduate” from these high schools with reading levels insufficient to follow the directions to prepare a TV dinner (seriously, that’s an actual metric used to measure their abilities).
So either the “free colleges” will turn them away or have to be dumbed down to a 5th grade reading level (spoiler alert: it will be the latter).
Barack Obama has been an unmitigated disaster for black Americans, and neither the Criminal nor the Commie hoping to succeed him would be any better. Which is why Hope n’ Change thinks that the best thing which could happen during Black History Month would be a dramatic shift among black voters to a party which actually wants to lift them out of poverty rather than continuing to build ever-higher walls of entitlements around the Democratic plantation.
Why, yes – we WERE offended by another racist, sexually demeaning halftime show! Thanks for asking! |

Hillary Clinton Wants $275 Billion in Additional Federal Infrastructure Spending—But Won’t Say How She’d Pay For It
In a speech yesterday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for an additional $250 billion in federal infrastructure spending over five years, as well as $25 billion to fund a federally run infrastructure bank, saying that the proposed spending would serve as a “down payment” on the country’s future.
The first thing to note about the plan is that Clinton won’t say precisely how she’d pay for it. Her campaign says that she would offset the price of the new spending through some sort of business tax reform, but, rather tellingly, wouldn’t provide any additional details when asked by Bloomberg Politics.
That’s becoming an increasingly familiar part of Hillary Clinton’s policy playbook: As I wrote last week, the candidate’s plans often call for new spending, and new taxes or tax “reforms” (which, given that they are supposed to raise additional revenues would require higher taxation of someone) to pay for it. But she tends to decline to say exactly which taxes, exactly, would be raised or reformed, only that the hikes will not hit families making less than $250,000 annually.
Stucky Q.O.T.D. — Intervention
Yesterday, my dad crossed into Free Shitter territory.
He’s done this just ONCE before in his entire life. He was unemployed once, many decades ago, and collected unemployment (but, not food stamps) for, at most, two months. I’m also not including Social Security … something he did not start collecting until he turned 80 … after working for 50+ years.
But, he’s so embarrassed always asking me for rides … even though I don’t mind one little bit. (My libtard seester rarely helps with rides.) So, he asked me to take him to the Senior Center in town to see what they have to offer. Well …. it turns out that they have all kinds of FREE transportation; twice a week scheduled trips to the grocery store, aaaaand if you give then 48 hours notice they’ll drive you anywhere — the bank, getting a haircut, even going to the movies!! And, there is zero notification required if he needs to go to the pharmacy or a doctor’s appointment. He was sooooooo HAPPY!
This is the vehicle they have;
But, then something truly turrible happened. Just, turrible! Brace yourselves folks, or just look away and stop reading right this very second. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. He then asked — “What else do you have that’s free?” Aaaaarrghhh! My daddy, he crossed the Rubicon! Death is knocking at the door. MY death. Oh daddy-o, daddy-o, what hast thou done?? But, I kept silent.
So, I have two questions. Answer one, or both, please.
1)– Should I perform an Intervention? Bitch slap him back into his life-long reality of not taking Free Shit? Or, should I resign myself to the New Reality, and buy him this shirt for Christmas?
2)— Do you have an intervention story … of any kind?
THANK YEEW.

Financing Bernie Sanders’ $18 Trillion Spending Plans (Not Enough Personal Income To Finance It)
Guest Post by Anthony Sanders
The Democrat Party debate the other night presented two candidates with pretty much identical views of what they will do as President: give away everything for free!! Free college tuition, healthcare tax subsidies for illegal immigrants, etc.
Here is the 2013 breakdown of Federal taxes paid by income bracket: 13in12ms
Bernie Sanders at least has gone on record saying he wants to spend $18 trillion over a decade. Odd, when the national debt is already over $18 trillion.
Of course, these big spending plans will have to be paid for with a massive expansion of Federal debt. Raising corporate tax rates is a non-starter since the US already has a high tax rate compared to other countries.
So the usual Sanders/Clinton mantra is “Tax The Rich” of which Hillary Clinton is one.
The problem with soaking the rich is that there just isn’t enough money for Bernie and Hillary to spend. Here is a snapshot of 2013 Federal tax filings. ‘The total Federal taxes paid by households earning $500,000 and over per year amounts to $50 billion. Even if Bernie/Hillary doubled the tax rate on those making over $500,000 per year, it would raise only $100 billion per year. That is far short of the $18 trillion that Bernie wants to spend (over the next decade).

American Dependency On The 3rd Of The Month
Apparently, I really don’t wanna fuckin’ scrub the deck.
Nice 12 minute mini-documentary.
===============================
Most of my working career has been in food and more specifically, high-end retail food; think Dean & DeLuca. The customer base has always been educated and financially well-to-do. After a “revelation” in early 2000 I decided that I needed to put my skill set to use in another industry. I found myself working in an office with the masses. Less educated, less well-off and one thing that particularly stands out, no self-respect. How can I possibly respect you when I don’t respect myself? Impossible. YOU don’t stand a chance.
After dealing with this toxic environment for several years I decided to get back into retail food. Out of the frying pan, into the fire! OMG! The masses are now on both sides of the counter. The impact of 44 million people on food stamps, as of September 2013, is hard to imagine if you are not in retail food.
The spike in business beginning on the 3rd of each month is truly astounding. By the 10th of the month the business begins to normalize and by the 22nd the ship is sinking. When there is a holiday in the month we experience a slightly different flow of business. Depending on the nature of the holiday and when it hits the calendar the flow of business changes accordingly. There is always the spike from the 3rd through 7th as the pantry has run dry. But when the holiday rolls around people have saved their position in the soup line in order to “celebrate” the event appropriately. Remember, not only are the working people of this country putting food on the table, we are also funding items like, lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol and everything else that is non-food as a lot people are issued a “cash card” in addition to the ticket for the soup line (EBT card). The state of Connecticut has a handy website that spells everything out, in detail, on how to get cash. Awesome
