Thank god the Post Office, libraries, Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, food stamps and National Parks already exist because if any of these things were proposed today they'd be immediately shot down as a socialist handout or blocked by an affected corporation
@DanPriceSeattle You crazy! McDonalds and CocaCola beg for the government to hand out the food stamps! #diabetes @DanHollaway
@DanPriceSeattle @geargodd If it had not been done when it was done this country would have been either a socialist country or no longer on the map. Astute politicians opened the relief valve of public pressure cooker before it exploded.
@DanPriceSeattle I wish America was Norway,I guess because people there have their human rights respected. They dont have to worry about healthcare fees, maternity/paternity leave, living wage, and their government mostly makes good policies.
@DanPriceSeattle @anonymo01473379 Played some of my favorite DOS games at my public library. #TankWars
@DanPriceSeattle Necessary functions- at least one established by GOP (parks=TRoosevelt). But you are sure that no money is wasted on how the others are administered? Right?
@DanPriceSeattle Replaced by Amazon owned and operated parks.
@DanPriceSeattle Some of the items already cut
@DanPriceSeattle If any of these were to be implemented now, the govt would push everything into one big bill and never pass it as some faction will always have issues with some part of the bill and the entire thing will be stuck for months and years.
@DanPriceSeattle I think there would be a lot less pushback on that kind of stuff if the government was fiscally responsible in any sense of the phrase.
