Where is this slavery taking place? Maybe I just take for granted I'm able to choose to go to work everyday? That must be it

Unsafe work conditions or no paycheck which leads to issues obviously. I didn’t say slavery but keep up that dumb argument. You would’ve been the ones rallying against safer work conditions in the industrial revolution.

I agree, so let's go and vote for Biden who will supercharge the race to bankruptcy.

Yet history proves the exact opposite, my friend.

The numbers don't lie.

Republicans have abandoned the concept of balancing our federal budget, while Democrats have time and time again cleaned things up.

Politfact check:

"Reagan took the deficit from 70 billion to 175 billion. Bush 41 took it to 300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from 0 to 1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to 600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion."

Our ruling

A viral tweet made several claims about how the deficit has grown under Republican presidents and shrunk under Democrats.

On the whole, the numbers presented for each president are basically accurate. However, it’s worth clarifying that presidents alone are not responsible for the rise and fall of the federal deficit.

The tweet is accurate but needs additional information. We rate it Mostly True.

Durrr slavery. Thank you for your dumb arguments.

It’s either work or lose your job because they won’t teach in unsafe conditions. Billionaires love morons like you because you’ll fight against your own fellow people for safe conditions.

Work is pretty much a condition of having a job (unless it's the .gov) so if the teachers don't want to work for whatever reason they don't have to.

****, were you concerned about the grocery store, hardware store or convenience store workers that had to work or lose their jobs? My guess is no.

Lazy POSs love you because you justify their sloth and hurt the productive.

Arizona has one of the fastest growing covid-related hospitalization rates in the country. On June 23rd their rolling 7-day average of covid hospitalizations were 1.25 people per million, and now its 18.2. Despite this, their overall hospital bed availability is actually UP since then. That’s 2600 people hospitalized in that span and the state currently has ~12,000 hospital beds. The entire purpose of the lockdown was supposedly for preserving bed capacity. Is that still the case? If so shouldn’t it be important to track based on this figures?

I don't recall any mass outbreaks emanating from grocery or hardware stores and those places were packed every damn day at the height of the outbreak. I don't recall a peep from you concerned about those workers who had to work then.

Deficit and debt are not one in the same.

Welfare for all and GND will spend more than Trump ever will. I'm like you, I wish he would stop all this Covid Stimulus, stop the extra unemployment, open **** back up and let's get on with getting through this.

You are talking out of your arse. Biden hasn't been elected yet so you have no f'ing idea what he would spend. I doubt he would ever increase the national debt like Trump has.

There’s a $775B proposal out there already and I’m sure Biden, on behalf of Bernie, has a few trillion $ more In new spending lined up.

Isn't the current proposal from the GOP? Has Biden said that? No. Has he done it? No. Now you're pedaling Smear Porn.

There are plenty of people that have to work in this kind of environment and figure out how to be safe.... How are teachers any different?

Are these plenty of people working with other adults or children for 8 hours a day? Small children for the most part won't wear a mask for 8 hours a day while at school. The job that teachers do can be performed digitally. Just like Church can be virtual, so can school.
