   @Michael Andrew How about drawing that pinnacle of fiscal responsibility, Mitch McConnell, next? Didn’t blink when giving corporations and the rich large tax breaks, creating enormous deficits, but now wants to reduce Social Security and Medicare.

   So many reasons to laugh at this foolishness: 1) The USAF is already responsible for space, 2) All spacefaring nations have signed the 1967 agreement against war in space, 3) The biggest concern about satellites is when they fall from orbit due to age, 4) There is no money to pay for this stupidity. And some wonder why we are embarrassed of our leadership…

   Well, they said that they are planning to market and sell Space Force merchandise, so it’s just another plan to line their pockets.

   They give crumbs to the middle class and give the big breaks to the rich. The reduction in the rate on pass through income is directly aimed at Trump and his rich pals…while they will continue to lie about how reducing corporate tax rates will result in more jobs. This is the 3rd time in my lifetime a president has tried this tactic, and it has failed in the 80’s and 00’s. How naïve are some of these people?

   In reality, there is no comparison between the Senate health care process in 2010 and what’s going on right now. These are the facts:2010 Obamacare: - The Senate HELP Committee held 14 bipartisan roundtables, 13 bipartisan hearings, 20 bipartisan walkthroughs on health reform in the Senate HELP committee, considered nearly 300 amendments, and accepted more than 160 Republican amendments. - The Senate Finance Committee held 17 roundtables, summits, and hearings on the topic, held 13 member meetings and walkthroughs, 38 meetings and negotiations, for a total of 53 meetings on health reform. - The Finance Committee then had a 7-day hearing where amendments were accepted – the longest such hearing in over two decades. During this process, the Finance Committee adopted 11 Republican amendments. - Both committees posted their legislation online for 6 days, allowing stakeholders and the public to evaluate the bill before any vote was taken. - The Senate spent 25 consecutive days in session on health reform when the bill was being considered on the Senate floor — the second longest consecutive session in US history.2017 Trumpcare:- No debate, no public hearings, no conversations or meetings, no Democrats have been invited to participate in their secret meetings, and no bill has been released.
