I don't think any witness can prepare themselves for Katie Porter's questioning. She always has a trick in the hat, and I love her for it! I'm hoping she wins her Senate race next year!
I love her. She is a teacher. Told them the objectives of the lesson. She gave directions and modeled expectations. Even encouraged one student to try harder for success. This was a great lesson. Everyone learned today.
For once, the players looked chastened and ashamed - especially those who didn’t know the answers. Yet - we can’t make social security benefits a liveable amount - or help EVERYONE out of predatory student loans - or control outrageous medical costs.
Well, we know for sure at least a small percent of that larger 61% goes into “black budget” programs such as top secret military weapons research, but I guarantee that is only a small fraction of that total 61%. The rest is probably just pay raises for defense contractors like Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin. The sad reality is every time the DoD has to answer for it’s blatant mismanagement of funds, it’s always just given an “oh well, nothing we can do about it 🤷♀️” and the country moves on and billions more goes down the drain while the poor starve, the cost of living increases, and the sick die. But god forbid we help those people because we’re just “giving them handouts”, yet giving billions of handouts to defense contractors is totally fine because “guns are cool” lol. SMH
One of the best games that older people love combined with the singlehandedly most clever way to bring facts to their faces. I think I have a new favorite Congressperson
See THIS is why I am no longer a right wing conservative. I’m an independent with a tinge of libertarianism. Katie Porter is a Democrat. I don’t think I’ll agree with a lot of her principles but THIS is a time I completely agree with her assessment. Thank you Ms. Porter.
Thank you so much for engaging in the messy process of democracy. We most definitely need more people in high levels of public service addressing the corruption of our government process. Let me know how I can help!

@@holdmybeer123 yeah socialism is beyond bad, why should normal working people be allowed to live and not die of cancer, when we can instead give jeff bezos, elon musk and larry page another trillion dollars :)
@@holdmybeer123what socialism? That a ceo making 31 million a year says he gives his employees good wages and they have to get a 2nd job to make it? Or hey like me without insurance and even with companies that make insulin at $4 a vial charge 335 for it.
I am embarrassed for her. These are professionals who have dedicated their lives to thankless work and to be humiliated by a side show. No one of worth will ever want to work in government - why should they? Who will keep the nation safe, our food safe, air clean, infrastructure safe? Not Ms. Porter.
How is this helping? Yes I get it, these senior government officials feel shamed. I also get that this is political theater. Unfortunately it is completely ostracizing her from the other congress members. They are a bunch of old people who hate to look like idiots and hate these kind of sideshows. So she might garner a little support from aoc and her crowd but this will ultimately destroy her message and reputation 😢
Look at all the other comments here, by CITIZENS who now know the facts she just presented, facts they wouldn't have bothered to listen to some old person droning about (and that's even IF anyone else in Congress protests DOD spending, which even most Democrat do not). Now what was your question again?
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! ENCORE! A genius tactic. Imagine if all reps treated their adversaries (and compatriots) with this game. They have no chance to filibuster or pontificate. Katy Porter, I congratulate you!
the federal budget should be cut in half then lowered by the rate of inflation every year until it is under control.. they would be forced to work on real issues and put the money where it is needed.. they also need term limits so they do their job instead of just raising money and campaigning .. never again should we suffer a career politician or a legacy politician

Need to go across the board. We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spend and borrow problem. Our debt burden will force us into this or require monetary expansion to pay off interest. Taxing won’t come close to solving the issue
@@bradrichards8122 -it’s always best to get serious issues in front of as many American eyeballs as possible. Resting on formality doesn’t protect our democracy, Americans do. But they need to know about it first.
Don’t like the schtick but she has a point. However, the more import one of these would be on social spending and entitlements. She wouldn’t like that game. But good job on highlighting spending issues.
The "schtick" is what makes regular Americans come watch the questioning and become informed on it. With that, we'll speak out and press our congresspeople to do better. Also, much of her tactics are based on helping Americans easily understand how absolutely messed up many of these situations are - she makes it easily digestible for the avg American. Also: did you watch the video? Defense is over a trillion a year, and it's more waste than not. I'd rather make sure a kid doesn't starve than send our money to some bloated defense contractor who overspends and under-delivers....wouldn't you?
Oh, they didn't fail. The plan was for China to get ahold of US technology. Biden is in the pocket of the CCP because CCP dollars are in the pocket of Biden.
Both parties are hopelessly corrupt. They both do the same criminal things to us, the People, the 88%, then blame the other party. They've played that game and we're allowing it. #DumpTheCorruptDuopoly

When there are claims as egregious as those on both sides, which involve verbal and physical assault, some of which the kids were present for and witness to (and victim of, from dad's side, apparently), I always look at the kids and the choices they make after separation.

She's so good at this. I love watching her dismantle them with the truth.
Her Democrats voted for the Defense Spending! Look up their votes!
But now WE need action!!!
They want to play games, let’s play games!
61% That over $488 billion where everyone is like "dunno". Homelessness, poverty...gone. Plus all education...free. PLENTY left over.
How is it possible to have 61% of the funds provided go missing? There needs to be a Federal Investigation and people need to be sent to PRISON!!!!!
It goes into various pockets. I guess too many to keep track.
@DrLadyBugM We need to elect Katie Porter as President!!!
