Let's repeat it for folks in the back.
When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE!
He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

"I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people … Today, an oligarchy is taking shape.”

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.-FDR

Warren Buffett, billionaire chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, on Donald Trump's tariffs:
Tariffs are "an act of war, to some degree."
"Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em!"
Spot on, as usual.
