    why we need this? wasn’t muskrat supposed to save like 3x that all by his little self?

    we could also do m4a and save that much or more on health care–every two years.

      The problem here is that you’re under the assumption that this isn’t all just intentional. Sure you could ask them if they don’t want this why did they do that–but the whole act was just to pacify you while they’re already onto the next thing. Everything they do is for their personal enrichment no matter the excuse. Also they won’t have to answer any of these types of questions because they have Newmax and their ilk in the press room nowadays and they are far from giving a shit about anything remotely close to that.
