Stop what programs?
President Biden was called a fascist by a recent letter-writer, as was his proposal to forgive a modest amount of student loan debt. Really? Biden a “fascist”? Your correspondent sounded old enough to have at least read about World War II and Hitler and Mussolini. Perhaps if he takes the time to study the matter further, he will discover what real fascism is.
Sarah Sanders boasts that she will stop Joe Biden’s liberal agenda, without stating which part she intends to stop. Perhaps supporting Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression? Averting a strike by railway workers that would have cost our economy an estimated $2 billion a day and further exacerbated inflation? Releasing strategic oil reserves to help drive down the cost of gasoline? Reducing our dependence on fossil fuel by increased funding for green energy in the existential fight against climate change? Greatly increasing spending on infrastructure, rural access to broadband and strengthening and rebuilding the nation’s electric grid? Funding for medical research and vaccine development? Assisting over 350,000 hardworking Arkansans with ballooning student loan debt? Increasing funding for early childhood education and school lunch programs for families in need of assistance? Insisting that America’s wealthiest individuals and corporations pay a minimum tax? Passing the CHIPS and Science Act which will lower costs and create thousands of well-paying manufacturing jobs to reduce our reliance on chip supplies from China?
I’m sure there are other terrible programs that Sarah will put an end to if she can just figure out how. Luckily, she doesn’t have any power to stop anything. She will be an Arkansas Don Quixote tilting at windmills. All hat, no cattle. All rattle, no bite.
Perhaps Sanders will join Ron DeSantis and start exporting immigrants and asylum-seekers from Texas to places that will provide them with humane assistance. This cruel stunt intended to produce a laugh among members of the MAGAverse at the expense of more decent citizens is the act of a showman, not a statesman, a grandstander, not a governor.
