Maybe Trump could push a bill that does not increase the deficit $5 trillion a couple of days after our credit rating has been downgraded, and the 10 and 20 year bond yields are going through the roof.


It would fail.

Outside of a relatively small number of Freedom Caucus members, there is zero political appetite for fiscal conservatism in Congress.

If you don’t like the reality, i suggest you elect more Freedom Caucus Republicans.

Every bill has been unaffordable since Newt Gingrich left Congress in the 1990s.

If there isn't a reduction in spending equal to the $1 trillion debt service cost....the Big Beautiful Bill should be shite canned.

I would love a huge spending cut across the board.

But the reality is we are getting this bill or a worse version of it if it is shite canned until more fiscal conservative members of Congress are elected.

We’re not there with the numbers to do better, unfortunately.

Keep in mind the bill also has to pass the Senate too.

And there are loads of worthless fricks in that nest of iniquity.

So you don’t fault Biden for not being able to cut more, right? Since everyone gets a pass, let’s just be clear. You (and all of MAGA) is saying that the Republicans bill has to increase the debt by trillions of dollars because nothing else will pass congress. This even though Republicans control everything.

Y’all have been had by your dear leader and his deputies.

Biden and the Democrats never wanted to cut any spending lol. There wasn’t even a consideration or discussion. Fiscal conservatism is non existent on the Democrat side.

There’s a bit of it on the Republican side and a dedicated contingent pushes for as much as they can which influences the legislation somewhat. But they’re not a large enough number to impact legislation in the meaningful way that they and others here would like.

Trump and House leadership has to deal with the numbers they have. They can only lose 3 votes and a large number of Republicans in Congress are not interested in fiscal conservatism.

You want a better outcome, elect more Freedom Caucus Republicans.

Definitely a possibility.

There seems to be very little appetite for fiscal responsibility in the country right now amongst the voting public.
