Now (even more) having to work that amount to pay-the-bills (Inflation) and still have-the-toys . . . .

And at least PART of the problem is politically-caused. Not all, but SOME. And by policies initiated several presidencies in the past, and carried to the present:

Welfare. —(Not any impetus to work).
Child-“reimbursement”-assistance checks. —(Paid to have more offspring. “Quid-for-Kid”).
Child tax-credit adjustments. —(Penalizes childless couples and individuals).
Unemployment benefits. —(Discourages active job-search or gainful employment).
Minimum wage. —(being used as a standard-to-survive, rather than its original purpose—to get people to work).

There are probably other programs that are similarly expensive yet largely indefensible.

You guys on the left love to quote articles that make huge slanderous assertions against Republicans without ever providing any evidence. I will even stipulate that Marjorie Taylor Greene is kind of a nut case who believes in lots of conspiracy theories that don't exist. But the article you linked said she claims that the Parkland shooting was a staged event, claims that she threatened to kill gun violence survivors, and supported the executions of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. What a load of hogwash!

Note that the article fails to include a single quote from Greene to back up any of these assertions. And I don't even know what she has said! I just go on the predictable assumption that if the article doesn't quote it, then it is not what they said it was. The only quote they provide from her is this innocuous line which seems totally irrelevant to the story:

“I’m a gun owner, I’m an American citizen and I have nothing. But this guy with his George Soros funding and his major liberal funding has got everything. I want you to think about that,” Greene told her viewers.

Meanwhile, they have plenty of quotes from her detractors, including teenage kids, who convey these ridiculous charges. This is not journalism. Leftists are never satisfied with real flaws in a defective Republican like Greene. They have to make stuff up out of thin air to get their point across because reality is never good enough for them.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions that Marjorie Taylor Greene never said any of that stuff nor threatened the executions of people like Pelosi, Obama and Hillary. Leftist news sources are so predictable.

I think you are not seeing the forest for the trees. She endorsed all of the heinous acts and suggestions.

There are a lot of flakes on twitter who post stupid things. Twitter is inconsistent with the banning

LOL No she didn't, why lie about it? Oh ya, you are a Lefty and Lefties have an appetite for lying.

I guess -- as usual -- you did not read the link.

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

I already read the lies on another link before, just pure junk news that you Lefties seem to gravitate to.

According to the Newsweek article, she gave a couple of likes to comments people posted on obscure Internet articles. The article that Tex posted said specifically that Greene supported the executions of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. It also said that she threatened to kill gun violence survivors.

On top of this they kept claiming in different ways that Greene said that many of these school shootings were faked events that never happened. The fact that she gave a like to some guy's comment who happened to mention a false flag operation" as evidence would be laughed out of court. If you wanted to get that picayune, I could probably find any politician in the world who acknowledged other people's comments or statements, and find something objectionable in one of the comments or statements. I'm sure I could do that with your likes on dozens of the comments right here on Ricochet. It is meaningless.

The Newsweek fact check did not back up any of the assertions I claimed were false.

Again, you are splitting hairs. Are you actually defending MTG? Or are you playing lawyer where even if you know a person is guilty you will argue their case to be sure they get a fair trial? MTG is a slime bucket, just like her "boss."

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

Why does it have to be defending anyone? Maybe it's defending truth and combatting BS that you spew?

JohnFrim Loc: Somewhere in the Great White North.

THIS coming from you? The one who calls everyone who disagrees with you a liar? The one who calls everything you don't agree with a lie or BS? Where is YOUR truth?
