When the government shutdown for the 2nd time in a year, I went 2 months without work because I couldn't redo my contract, I bailed and... 1/ https://twitter.com/AbrahamHanover/status/1085541771994517504 …

        ...I have bills to pay, people depend on me. I couldn't work like that. So I took my nearly 30 years experience in military operations and I left. And that's what is going to happen here. Those with the experience and the skills are going to bail out in disgust. 3/

        We become America of the Robber Barons, the America of the 1920's, when a handful of the fabulously wealthy owned everything, there was no middle class, and the poor paid the rich for the privilege of eating out of their garbage cans. That's what's coming. 7/

        That is what is coming. I warned about this when you gave the House to the Tea Party and the Senate to Mitch McConnell because you were mad at Obama. This is what's coming. Unless you start showing the fuck up and doing your duty to the Republic. 8/8

        Want to know how well Wall Street did from Trump's tax cuts? Goldman Sachs says it got almost half a billion dollars in the last three months of the year alone. That's $467 million in one quarter of the year! Egads. pic.twitter.com/dEfpIvOreY

        My understanding is government contractors don't get reimbursed and there are millions of them. Why isn't that a bigger story do you think?
