    Default I could not, in good conscience, vote for the debt ceiling bill--Bernie Sanders

    I voted against the bill.

    At a time when this country is rapidly moving toward Oligarchy, with more wealth and income inequality than we’ve ever experienced, I could not in good conscience vote for a bill that cuts programs for the most vulnerable while refusing to ask billionaires to pay a penny more in taxes. Wall Street and corporate interests may be enthusiastic about this bill, but I believe it moves us in exactly the wrong direction.

    If Bernie is worried about income inequality he can donate one of his nomes and any thing he makes over the average income of 31K to bring those below average income up to that level. Typical socialist hypocrite. This just proves the Republicans won the debt ceiling negotiations

    My guess is he meant to hit one letter up on his keyboard and spell, not jomes, the other letter that is one up from n.. you know the "aytch" (or as they would say it in Australopithicusland, Ostrichland... um... (The one that isn't Austria, but is almost spelled that way)...,the mythical land of boxing kangaroos and drunken koalas, "haytch").
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Actually, CBO says more people will get SNAP now.

    If Sanders wants to pass tax hikes, then he should make sure Democrats have both houses of Congress and the White House in '25
