What It Takes for the Senate to Solve Our Disastrous Debt Crisis | The Heritage Foundation:
Politicians who argue for higher tax rates to reduce the deficit would rather take more of hardworking Americans’ money than do the politically difficult work of cutting spending. Taxing the rich will not fix this problem. Taxes would need to go up on all Americans to feed the federal behemoth.

"There is little argument that the left has become increasingly unhinged since the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, reflexively lashing out in hateful opposition to virtually everything said or done by Trump and his administration.
That opposition, perhaps best known by the hashtag #Resistance, is little more than emotional outbursts fueled by the blind rage of leftists who still haven’t accepted the results of an election that took place more than a year-and-a-half ago.

It shifts to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi discussing the need for “uprisings” in the streets before showing Democrat California Rep. Maxine Waters urging supporters to harass any Trump cabinet officers spotted out in public..."

Just a couple of years ago, a writer for HuffPost argued that “free tampons should be a human right.”
There have also been members of Congress introducing legislation to make feminine hygiene products tax-free.
