RSN: The Age of Fake Policy, Speaker Paul Ryan, After Passing Regulatory Rollback, Parties With Lobbyists at Fundraiser




The right wing will fund their oracles, that's a given. We are told that we will always be without means, never never know stability, never be able to provide. One more lie, after another.
We know what to do with a budget. We know how to apply it, how to grow something of value to the community with it. Let's give them something to talk about.
Thank you all sincerely.
