When does "It was a good meeting" = "The meeting was unproductive and we had it because we didn't want to cross "Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump?"

First Lady/First Buddy Elon Musk and that Ramaswamy guy meet with members of Congress to build support to eliminate government spending. When asked about it, maga-Republicans say... "We had a productive meeting" as though they are reading from a script.

Will they really have the guts to eliminate government spending that goes back to their states and districts so they can literally hand over their positions to Democrats in the next election?

Unfortunately they have the mandate in their own states. There's a Republican House AND Senate for a reason.

And they can leverage democratic states with lack of funding. It's the capitalist aristocratic attitude that promotes this position.

I absolutely don't like it, yet that is how it is.

They really don't care about people. Capitalism is the opposite of democracy, which is for the people.

Remove capitalism, problem solved.

If you only care about yourself you are against the people as a whole.

It's the elitist aristocrat that despises the group. Which is what capitalism is all about.

They take the idea that there are only two types of people to the extreme. The dominant people and the submissive people. With the dominant being the few and the majority being the submissives.

There's no middle ground in capitalism. The middle ground is democracy. The whole group. Not just individuals.
