Campaing for president or congress on that and let us know how it goes.

You might get 12 votes. Maybe. (I'd be one).

So basically they are going to spend the same amount as last year. What a joke the republican leadership is. How about we stop spending what we don’t have for a year. We can’t even get a balanced budget for one damn year.

The corpse of Joe Biden is not mentally competent enough to agree to anything so it should be null and void upon submission.

Its not bizarre, shithead.

My point here is this: we are taking money from productive people and giving it to the welfare class, to other countries to fight wars that we do not want, to illegal immigrants, special interest groups, the MIC, foreign aid aka funneling back to politicians. Pretty much everything and everyone except the people who aren't on the tit. Now we've got a budget crisis and Tarzana and crew point to social security, Medicare and veterans?

It's disingenuous to say we have to do this to protect the "rightful recipients" when we are purposely lighting their money on fire.

My guess is that despite so many of us commenting on the subject, and a natural inclination to assume the McCarthy led Republicans in the House caved and cucked and shite the bed and some folks even suggest caving would have been the choreographed plan all along…….despite the foregoing dim views of those Republicans (not IQ “dim,” but rather negative view “dim”), the majority of us likely don’t have even minimal working knowledge of any key details, nor know a thing about the sequence of key events and certainly not a grasp of the most relevant factors, all of which would have been the ingredients that led to whatever the final outcome.

I could make all that more complicated and confusing if has a fetish for that type thing. If clarification is needed, basically what I mean is we got lots of dramatic assessments of the outcome, but don’t exactly know the details of how or why.

It's been hilarious for years seeing so called fiscal conservatives say that no cuts should be made to defense spending unless we take an axe to the rest of the budget including mandates. Conservatives have become clowns.

Any compromise at all is criminal and disgusting. The federal government is out of control and needs to be reeled in. Their irresponsible spending of OUR tax dollars is outrageous. Their is no accountability on their part for any, except Trump whom the federal government is allowed to completely fabricate lies and file charges against.
At some point, those of us who pay taxes and are funding this insanity must say no more....
cuz they sure won't.
