You claim the democratic party was a big part of taking $20T from the middle and working classes without the substantiation that a more elite education may have led you to provide. I contend that GOP tax cuts for the wealthy and GOP recessions are far more responsible for that alleged $20T.

And this is what gave us a downplayed response to the pandemic, rife as it was with disdain for public health measures and anti-vaxxer takes on the Covid vaxxes......All it really takes is some common sense......not education, no big amount of intelligence..............No f'ing thankyou to a reprise of same with either junk economics or junk science from the Party of same.

That is not true. Want to run a country? A company? A small town? You need more than "common sense". Common sense does not provide knowledge, an understanding of technology, an ability to read and understand, or to learn about history. It does not teach skills or the ability to get along with others and work for the greater good.

"Common sense" is, come to think of it, a pretty meaningless term. A platitude. Yet your orange hero had the sense to use it often. Even in the wake of the election, he's said this will be a "common sense administration". Really? Did common sense of any kind characterize his last administration? The one that featured a record number of resignations and terminations? Is Trump himself known for his common sense? Or for displaying sense of any kind at all?

I don't think so.
