Craig, irk and science are a strange combination, but here goes: science ( i.e. statistics) documents food insecurity with considerable precision. The figures show that huge numbers of citizens don't know where the next meal is coming from. Many of them are children. Many are the working poor. Many are people who have lost work because of the bungled Corona response by your dear leader who even managed to infect a number of his entourage. Speaking of government efficiency, Trump's tax cut is a model of government service. Those benefitting from it were our very wealthiest; the poor are holding their breath 'til the trickle kicks in.
I know the manipulated figures those "statistics" come from. It's the same type of modeling that the "Union of Concerned Scientists" used to predict we were 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 30 seconds from nuclear war for four decades. Somehow, though, we never actually had said war.
If "large numbers" of people didn't actually have statistical security in their meals, then we'd see "large numbers" of them starving to death. Real, not statistical.
As far as tax breaks, by definition, those who pay the most taxes get the biggest break. If someone earning a mil gets a $50K tax break, of course it's a bigger break than someone earning $50K gets.
It's probably unfair that I can afford Westley Richards and Thieme and Schmegelmilch firearms, while some people can only afford Stevens and H&R. Oh, well.
