You gave me a slice of information and used a slice of information that's relevant to you and the way you think of yourself and us. Like you, I don't have the entire Constitution memorized. Now that you have been so kind as to provide the whole thing for us to read like you should have to begin with. Here's the problem and it's a problem and the problem is that we're going broke and the progressives haven't figured that out yet. We don't have enough billionaires to cover a trillion dollar debt let alone twenty two trillion with more and more being added every minute of the day. Now, if you want to remain part of that statement, you better wise up and start teaching your clueless millenial's and Bernie Bro's the truth. We seem to have an abundance of dumb college people these days.

I have an app on my Mac’s Dock that provides the text for the US Constitution.  It comes in handy several times a year to address some point on this site.  That was where I got the quote, though I knew the Constitution well enough that I knew more or less that it said what it did.  When you questioned it, casting doubt on my truth and integrity, I used Google to search ‘US Constitution text’ and followed the first of many links it provided.  This took all of 20 seconds, at most, to confirm the quote and have the link to it.  You could have done the same.  You didn’t.  Instead, you placed your ideology ahead of the Constitution.  You lied.  You showed your lack of integrity.

I do note that many of my posts do provide links to sources, while few of your posts do.  You spout lies off the top of your head.  The quote I provided was so easily confirmed that I did not think it necessary to create a link.  Silly me.

I hardly question that both party’s members of Congress have passed some very expensive but necessary Coronavirus legislation.  I am troubled that Congress is better at spending the money that saying how they would pay for it.  I am open to suggestions.  I am not aware of the Trump administration giving a long term financial plan.  He is apparently too busy trying to save face.  I am anticipating we will have to wait for another administration.  I anticipate a variation of the progressive era tax and spend.  I have said as much on other posts.  I have suspected that even the conservatives will accept high taxes for a while to pay the very real bills.

Rachel got her start as an AIDs activist, trying to get another conservative administration to wake up.  Now this pandemic is quite different from others in living memory.  The Coronavirus requires more of those on the front lines than has recently occurred.  Rachel is playing a different part… well.
