Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017?

      it’s not american debt, but american loot and interference in other economies which holds the world hostage. No one would care for american debt if all countries were trading in their own currencies. Except, maybe, some if the americans themselves.
