How to be a giant douchebag.
March 11, 2021 at 6:17 pm
I will 100% admit I could not serve on a battlefield. But if someone else is willing, I think they should be able to have the best life they can. But Senator John Cornyn cant stand the idea of Transgender serving or getting surgery.
He posted a tweet about the following article pandering to the LGBTQ far right bigots.

The Constitution guarantees " the pursuit of happiness".
It doesn't agree to pay for yours.

That's the declaration of independance, not the constitution...since that sort of tedium is so very important to you.

Accept the pursuit of happiness could be concluded by just that.

Nice fucked up logic.
So why have taxes at all? Why have civil servants of any kind of all. Why have military, cops, firemen, teachers, DMV clerks.
I don't have kids, never will, so why are my tax dollars going to pay for public schools?
I also have not used a public library or highway rest stop in decades.
But I do know that even the things that my taxes pay for that I don't use go to make society more stable and a better place.
I really am fucking tired of the libertarian/GOP/anarchist attitude that a government can be run off of nothing.
The argument isn't about what your taxes pay for that you don't like. There are always going to be things your taxes pay for you don't like, REGARDLESS OF PARTY.
The real argument is long term debt. The real argument is efficiency of how much taxing or not taxing benefits more.
If my paying for a transgender surgery keeps a person willing to risk their lives for my freedom, I am damned sure fucking willing to pay that tax. They are willing to do something I know I could not do. Just like teaching, just like EMT. I can't do those things, but I am damned sure willing to pay taxes for those who do. And if that means they have a better life, damned right I am willing to pay more.

This will certainly become a lively "medical necessity" debate considering it's the military.

For the last week or two Cruz has been whining about "Cancel Culture" since several Dr Seuss books were withdrawn by the Seuss estate.
But he's found a way to cash in.
He's autographing copies of Green Eggs and Ham, a book he didn't write, and selling them for $US60 a copy.

The cost of gender reassignment surgery isn’t all that much - if every single transgendered person in the US military opted for the surgery (very unlikely) and all of the surgeries were at the high end of the scale mentioned in the article, the total cost would be the equal of about 28 hours of total military expenditures.
Sounds like a bargain.

Just think what he'd get if he forged Trump's name.
