Solidify the comfort of the rich with the suffering of the poor. Same old shit.

Yea... obviously, just like going to the dentist hurts; it's the only way to heal.

Letting poor people die so that the governments books are balenced is not letting them heal.

I guess you don't realize that if they don't get the spending under control, even MORE poor people will die because their entire eocnomy will crash and turn into a hyper inflated state like Venezuela.

This isn't about 'political' triviality. It's about stabilizing the Country you tool.

In what world does money grow on trees?

"People always assume economic conservatives are pro-suffering and want to stomp on as many poor people as possible"

No. That's 100% wrong . We just know that rich economic conservatives want to make themselves rich, and the fastest way to do so Is convincing as many poor people as possible to vote for conservative ideas , to better drain their resources. Money doesn't grow on trees... Unless you get hold of a privatized former state asset and start making people pay much more for way worse services.

Also, maybe crippling sanctions imposed because they nationalized oil have something to do with Venezuela current state?

You don't know any of that. It's your psychotic fantasy that justifies your abuse of people who want to be free of you.

You hit them because they made you hit them, for their own good, you say. And then anyone who comes along and tells you to stop hitting people must be a Nazi who just wants your victims to suffer from not being hit.

"You hit them because they made you hit them, for their own good"

That's what abusers say to justify their abuse.

That's fucking scary.

You sound like a real creep. Betcha you don't have a partner.

"No, dumbasses. Ensuring the minimum amount of overall suffering will entail some suffering now."

Bet you the rich aren't suffering at all.......

...only this time the dentist knocked your teeths out with an hammer, sold them to his friends, kept the money AND made you pay 10x the bills.

Ask yourself: if your economy is designed to keep you poor and enrich the rich, what do you need an economy for?
