It says everything that they claim the US can’t afford Medicare for All, yet they’re spending money on electric shock gloves.

some figures sure make it look like we've spent as much on military and ice actions that harm people in the past 20 months as it would've cost to maintain all the programs that america "couldn't afford" that helped people and there's STILL more for shock gloves...

"Can't afford" is a prioritization claim, not a solvency claim. $20M for gloves is a rounding error in any budget. The gloves aren't a solvency problem — they're a statement of what the administration chose to fund. The math was never the obstacle.

Country can afford medicare for all it's just a republican party just doesn't want it they just want line their pockets they're else's mind and give the rich a bigger tax break fuck the rich they need start paying their share of taxes bottom line no more free rides

Conservative estimates say the US spent 4 to 6 TRILLION bucks on the Iraq war. Yeah, we have the money for Medicare for All, but there are hard nuggets of selfishness and callousness in the American soul.
