    Who mentioned Trump? The free tests were sent out by Biden as part of
    the virtue signaling policies the democrats embrace. Most of the
    handouts in the Trump administration were from a democrat congress,
    voted against by most republicans. We are seeing the effect of that at
    the stores now. You can't dump trillions into the economy without a
    matching increase in productivity without inflation. That is economics
    101. Too much money chasing too few products.

    Or Obama's $4.5T bail out of Wall Street. They all piss our money away
    for votes or bribes. You might argue Reagan brought down the Soviet
    empire but I am not convinced that was really better than what we have
    now. In fact taking down a dictator seldom works out for the best.
    (The Soviets, Iraq, Libya, take your pick). In fact when we backed
    Mubarak, we quickly backed the coup that installed his dictator
    lieutenant Sisi.
    Vietnam was LBJ's war and he lied us into it just like Bush2 in Iraq.
    Obama's biggest lie was that he would end the war in Iraq and
    Afghanistan. He doubled down in the latter.
    I liked Obama in 2007 but by 2008, he was just another Bush brother.

    Nixon was just trying to win LBJ's un winnable war and Reagan was
    trying to bring down the Soviet Union. Both may have been dumb ideas
    but you forgot Obama who increased the size of the Afghan war with the
    same miserable result Nixon and LBJ had. The difference is Obama
    promised to stop that war.

    Goldman and their buddies gave Obama $16 million. Money talks.

    "(Bush also got nearly $2 million from the oil and gas industry in 2000.)

    This year is also turning out to be a lucrative one for politicians, with more than $14 million from the industry reported to the Federal Election Commission by the end of April, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

    And again, that money is flowing mostly to Republicans -- this time about 73 percent of contributions."

    No one had to. Even so, how about Reagan's cost's during his arms buildup?
    Or Nixon bombing Laos and being silent about it?
    Or Obama's $4.5T bail out of Wall Street.

    So? Reagan and Nixon's situation dealt in killing or prospectively killing people.

    Goldman and their buddies gave Obama $16 million. Money talks.

    This year is also turning out to be a lucrative one for politicians, with more than $14 million from the industry reported to the Federal Election Commission by the end of April, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

    If you are going to cite the FEC, use their data, not an opinion piece
    from Disney

    This is what is filed and the Democrats spent more. (2022)

    Total Raised Total Spent Cash on Hand Debts
    Democratic Party $872,486,218 $708,128,379 $273,220,780
    $2,294,041
    Republican Party $814,806,736 $742,886,336 $202,000,324
    $909,373

    Yet Republican would as well have gladly accepted more. So you point is still moot.

    If the Democrats take more bribe money than the Republicans how can
    you say the republicans are the greedy ones?

    You can also look at who gives the money to politicians.
    Lawyers ($145M), health care ($162M) and Finance/Insurance companies
    (993M) fund the democrats more than the republicans..
    They do write this shit down.
    That is a huge part of our inflation problem. Add in Education that overwhelmingly supports democrats and you see why the DNC wants to
    forgive college debt and make college "free". Nothing is more
    expensive than something people think is free. Education already out
    paces the rest of the inflation by triple digit percentages for less
    productive results.

    In $trillion election cycles, a lousy $2 million (your oil company
    cite) wouldn't even get a national politician to answer your calls..
