Great question, and here is the honest answer: we CAN afford all of it. A government that issues its own currency cannot run out of dollars. 'We can't afford healthcare' was never math, it was a choice. #ChangeTheNarrative

I am so sorry about your Medicaid. That loss is real, and your anger is earned. But the dollars were always there: they funded the ad and cut your care. That is not a budget. It is cruelty by choice. #ChangeTheNarrative

Love this. The joke lands because the real scandal would be services NOT being provided. And our public money is created to do exactly this, spent by the government we elect. The question is never what we can afford, it is what we choose to build. #ChangeTheNarrative

Yes. Walmart and Amazon pay so little that public programs fill the gap, and we're told that's charity from our taxes. The real fix is wages that cover a life, not a business model that outsources pay to the rest of us. #ChangeTheNarrative

Nobody ever puts it in plain English, you're right. The plain version: the dollars we already spend on healthcare can be redirected to cover everyone. The money was never missing. Only the choice was. #ChangeTheNarrative

Exactly. That is the real fight. The government books and your books are not the same: it creates dollars, you have to earn them. Tariffs and diesel costs come out of your pocket, not government’s ledger. The costs are real. They just land on the wrong people. #ChangeTheNarrative

Fair point. But a currency issuer spends first, then taxes: the dollars exist before taxes are collected. Our shoes and stuff is made in China for sure, US dollars are not made in China. China is not our lender, it just holds dollar savings. The question is what the money does. #ChangeTheNarrative

Completely fair to be angry. But it is not about the dollars. It is about power: middlemen and insiders gaming the system. Name the gamers. That is where the fight is. #ChangeTheNarrative

Right to be outraged. Public dollars turned into a vanity project: a president seizing money meant for all of us to praise himself. It is not about the dollars. It is about power. Corruption, plain and simple. #ChangeTheNarrative

I hear you. Feeding the poor beats propping up a strongman, every single time. And the truth is we never had to choose. Public money isn't scarce. Political will is. #ChangeTheNarrative

It’s right to be furious. But it was never on our dime. A currency-issuing government doesn't need our dimes to throw a feast. The scandal isn't the dollars. It's the guest list: billionaires dining while working people skip dinner. Name the greed, not the ledger. #ChangeTheNarrative

To be blunt: the anger is right. A 45-year worker should not get crumbs. But the fix was never taking pensions away: a government that issues its own currency can fund both. The money was never the constraint. The choice was. Fund the seniors. #ChangeTheNarrative

To be blunt: he is right about the crime and wrong about the money. A president airbrushing himself on government airtime is corruption, full stop. It is not about the dollars. It is about power: public resources spent on his own fan club. That is the scandal. #ChangeTheNarrative

Agreed, and the $40 trillion did not cancel the school lunches or the cancer research. Congress did. A currency issuer spends first, then taxes. The only real question is what we choose to fund, and they chose airbrushed ads. #ChangeTheNarrative

In one word: priorities. Politicians hand public money to billionaire owners for stadiums, then plead scarcity for workers. It is never about finding the money. The money is always there. The will to prioritize workers over billionaires is not. #ChangeTheNarrative

Big companies take public subsidies and contracts, then pay wages so low their workers need public aid to live. Public money flows both ways, profit stays at the top. It is not about the dollars. It is about power. #ChangeTheNarrative

Agreed: bombs over babies is a choice, and it's a rotten one. But "we can't afford child care" was never true. A currency-issuing government doesn't shop with tax receipts. It was ALWAYS a choice. Name the choice. #ChangeTheNarrative

He's right about the choice being made. Tax dollars never funded those wars: a currency issuer spends first, then taxes. The scandal isn't the ledger. It's that real planes, real bombs, and real lives went to war instead of home. #ChangeTheNarrative
