In a 3/9/23 email, Sen Mike Braun (R-IN) tries to tee off on President Biden for being “the very reason we have these disastrous deficits to begin with” & has no plan “to get America back on track.” No: trump’s tax cuts for the rich + increased defense spending = > $1 trillion deficit. 1/5

Trend: GOP Pres runs up deficit (Reagan/Bush I). Dem Pres tries to cut deficit (Clinton). GOP takes Oval Office & runs up deficit again (Bush II). Pres Obama got double whammy of deficit + recession caused by GOP deficits & lifting regs on banks. The GOP’s only plan? Kiss the ass 2/5

uredly idiotic wannabe idol/god trump. We can cut deficits by cutting military spending. It doesn’t take a genius to see that you cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war (Albert Einstein wrote that in a letter in 1946) or that our dozen or so $1 billion carriers with 3/5

5K-member crews will be the first dozen or so targets in a war. Braun’s most puke-worthy gems are his laments for “lower-income families” and “working-age men and women” who wonder “how they’re going to feed their families.” Did Braun smirk as he reviewed that line? He 4/5

smirked when he said States should decide whether people whose skins are different colors can be criminally prosecuted for marrying. That’s racism. I’m Mark Small, pro-voting rights, pro-civil rights, anti-gun candidate in the GOP primary for City-Council District 2. I approve of this message. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
