What would you prefer to do--shut down America, and bring our social safety net to a grinding halt?
America is NOT the government (but I certainly understand why you think that way).
And, yes, I would like to see thw social safety hammock disappear

Isn’t it obvious the Repubs are sellouts

Everyone talks a big game, but how many voters want to cut of granny's check? Virtually no one is voting for a candidate that actually wants to cut the big expenditures in government.

/\ THIS /\ is what I was hoping for - but I lake the skills to interpret all the behind the scenes maneuvering that goes on in DC.
IF they can just shut down the incoming Pelosi crap, it will be about as good as we can expect. Delay all the extra $$$$$$$$ crap til after mid-terms.
Then kill and bury it.

Remember this next election cycle. Vote for anyone other than an R or D and you’ll be ‘wasting your vote’. Poli Board never changes.

So your saying we're in good hands. We simply don't understand the complex issues confronting the nation and misinterpret events.
So, there is not inflation? The deficit isn't extreme? We didn't leave citizens in Afghanistan?
What in the F are you talking about. They have this budget... Spending show every year, and every year the deficits just keeps growing parabolically.
Why in the hell would any rational person perceive the Congress as anything but opportunists?
I'm sure your trying to alibi for Turtle and gang, but give it up dude.

Everyone knew they would cave
Democrats: We have to vote for the bill so we can see what's in the bill.
Republicans: We have to vote for the bill so we can prevent this terrible bill from becoming law.
And the crowds cheer.....
Smart people see what's coming. The don't like it but they see what's coming.

Stop legitimizing a sham that provides cover for a system run by and for globalist elites.

Republicans should rename the party to Goalongtogetalong Party

The morons that think this is a win are just reading and regurgitating media spin. They are either paid shrills or complete morons.

We are feeling the inflation of the Trump-era printing right now. Trump fans ceded any argument on the debt/spending last year.

Conservative reps can't say a thing about the debt because they did NOTHING about it when they had the chance
That being said, there may be inflation from Trump era, but what is coming down the pipe will be 100x worse. The supply problems are not the effect of Trump policies.
