[07:40] IsambardPrince It won't be good for our economy, but it will ruin theirs. [07:41] IsambardPrince Basically Libertarians would almost tear the federal government apart, but not in the way Musk and Trump are. [07:41] IsambardPrince They'd reduce it down to national defense and not much else. [07:42] IsambardPrince Trump is installing cronies to harass his enemies and feast off federal contracts. [07:42] IsambardPrince He doesn't want to drown the federal government. He wants to turn it into a police state that spends enough less that he can pass a massive tax cut for rich people. [07:44] IsambardPrince But he'll leave the worst parts of the government and make them more efficient at violating people's basic rights. The government will tax you, but won't do anything for you.

When I worked at Walmart and asked for a raise, they handed me literature about how to apply for food stamps and Medicaid. As long as we keep allowing them to abuse the Welfare State, they'll do it. And Illinois raised the minimum [07:52] IsambardPrince wage to $15 an hour. It's very hard to be paid so pathetically here that you'll qualify for welfare, unless you also have kids. But in Indiana they do absolutely nothing. They kept their minimum wage where it was in 2009, just to be a bag of dicks. They cut taxes, although nobody who has a service job there pays much taxes because they're so poor they're basically exempt, so a tax cut (state) might net them a hundred bucks and in [07:52] IsambardPrince the mean time, the cost to live that year went up another $2000-3000. It's just horrible there. I will never go there again unless something changes. [07:56] IsambardPrince Indiana isn't just going to absorb whatever school grants Trump can cut, although losing 10% of their school funding would be bad. They just passed, in their State Senate, another bill to lower property taxes (they're already low), to defund millions more from every school district. [07:57] IsambardPrince George Carlin was TOO OPTIMISTIC when he said they wanted people smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. The Republicans don't even want that. For some reason they want us to revert to be more like Afghanistan where armed nutcases roam the streets as enforcers and women aren't educated and are seen as fetus incubators.
