On one hand liberals protest the $17 Trillion US debt and try to blame it on Conservative tax-cuts which will cost the whopping $1 Trillion over 10 years! and at the same time rue the fact we cannot extend free health care and assorted benefits to everyone. Can't have a socialistic state on one hand if you are not willing to run up the debt and cast it upon our grandchildren to pay.

Yep. What's bad is the fact that Hatch and Grassley are now spinning the discussion that media and social media have taken what they've said out of context. I think it was pretty clear from what they said is what they meant to say. Career politicians make it a living to benefit off of taxpayers; everything they have is paid for by the types of hard working Americans they criticize on both sides of the political spectrum. CHIP is nothing to mock and use to take cheap shots at those on Welfare or other forms of government assistance. Can't find the money? They should look at all the Congressional and Defense Department spending that is wasteful.
If an industry is dying we must adapt; nothing lasts forever. Automation replacing humans has been ongoing for decades now and it's not going to slow down anytime soon. The movie "Hidden Figures" is a classic example of adapting to the idea of being replaced by a machine.

It's a question of priority which is more important at this moment, increasing growth and tax revenues or extending social programs and continuing on target to a major financial crisis which will force draconian cuts across the board in social programs. It is very simple math, you cannot continue with 1.5% GDP growth with your National Debt growing at 2-3 times that rate and already exceeding 100% GDP. That is unsustainable and will lead to a financial crisis worse than we experienced in 2008. The National Debt is now a National Security issue, social program funding is not. Additionally a 1.5 Trillion increase over 10 years for 3% or above GDP growth is better trade off than the multiple Trillions Barry increased the National Debt in 8 years and only managed 1.5 to 2 % GDP Growth.
