Raskin Ties Authoritarianism to Affordability

Buck Banks

“Take, for example, the French Revolution. Remember when Marie Antoinette said, ‘Let them eat cake’? Now, is that a problem of accountability and tyranny, a corrupt government? Or is it a problem of affordability and standard of living? It’s both! Authoritarianism and tyranny are extremely expensive for the people. And it’s the exact same thing when you go down the line with Donald Trump. So, are we going to go after the corruption? Yeah, you’re damn right. And are we going to go after affordability and making people’s lives easier? Yeah, you’re damn right. We’re going to do both of them.”

— Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), quoted by CBS News.

Trump’s War on Affordability

Buck Banks


Maybe it’s just another sign of Donald Trump’s increasing senility,
But he refuses to believe his policies are creating economic difficulty.
Of course, he’s never bought gas or groceries in his life,
And he hasn’t a clue about Americans’ economic strife.
All he knows is, he doesn’t want his aides to talk to him about “affordability.”
