All of these adds up to the middle class picking up these expenses on their own, so the wealthy become wealthier. Now the Republican party is targeting Social Security, including Medicare, money that has been collected on the understanding that it belongs to those of us paying social security, not the government like a normal tax.

Religious Behavior 10/29/20
Unfortunately, there are too many Christians who are too loud about judging other people based on their own morals. While these Christians argue that this is Biblical law (while criticizing laws based on the works of other religions like Shariah law), it is often just interpretation.
Afghanistan Debacle 10/28/20
The talks leading to this treaty did not include nor was in endorsed by the Afghanistan government continuing a three-year trend we had already seen in this administration wherein talks with our enemies are favored over allies.
