I'm not crazy about #11 if it's what I think it is.

There are other things in the bill that the dumbass OP doesn’t want you to know about that Elon- and actual Conservatives- doesn’t want, however— I.e. increased spending, deficit spending, waste, pork, increased debt.


Name the specific items.

Lot of great things in it.

Lot of extra debt though. That's the issue.


I wish I could get everything I want too.

Why are my taxes going to give every kid born $1000? Why don't their parents open a savings account for them?

"I want to actually reduce the deficit."

Fixed.

I'm not sure how people can expect to reduce the deficit while reducing revenue. It seems like that's how all this started in the first place.

It also seems like a good incentive to balance the budget would be the prospect of cutting taxes - not the other way around.

I wish Kirk would highlight the 50 bad parts of the bill so that constituents could reach out and understand why this bill could be even better (cutting more spending)


Which brings me back to what’s been stated for weeks. If truly a reconciliation bill, the actual cuts can’t be enacted until after it passes. I believe that the House has already announced a rescissions package.

If I’m wrong, please tell me where.

Like a Roth?

Is that what it is? I thought it was something different where the government put x amount of money in a savings account for every newborn. There is a billionaire who comes on CNBC or Fox Business promoting this. He said he was very close to getting the votes to make it real.

This has been required on federally funded project for years. In our line of work it pretty much doubles the cost of the job.

No bro. You’re just a TDS ladled cuck! This time is different. We’re gonna get ‘em next time. The next (likely democrat-led) congress is totally going to follow this McCarthy…. uhhhh…. Johnson’s plan and not change anything. It’s a brilliant 4D chess strategy. Your TDS and love for Desantis prevent you from seeing the brilliance before you eyes.

7.Deporting 1 million illegal immigrants per year.

It's a start.

But it's not enough. At that rate, in Trump's four years, we will have deported only roughly 35% of illegal immigrants that entered under Biden's administration. And when they (s)elect Gavin Newsom to be President* in 2028, he'll throw the borders wide open again.

To actually get ahead of the illegal immigration trend, Trump's team would have to deport at very least 4 million per year.

I say that not to rain on anyone's sunshine pumping parade, but to get people to wake up and see how seriously fricked we are.

1. Not a "leftard." I voted for Trump, I just think this bill is shitty 2. The list doesn't (completely) include the shitty, stupid parts of the bill because it's a propaganda piece from Miller. The OBBBA is a bloated mess.
I mean, dude, I don’t think it’s meant to show there’s no bad shite in the bill. It’s a massive bill. Look who writes it. Of fricking course there is bad shite in it. There’s bad shite in every bill.

It’s just a list of shite that people on our side might like. It’s not saying “hey you idiots this bill is perfect and look at this proof.”

Y’all are being weird af.

(I haven’t read the list and don’t even know if I like anything in it. I just don’t know why you’re mad at the damn list.)

What's sad is people getting sand in their vaginas because someone posted a list of policy items on the fricking political talk board.

Pass the damn thing and then try to push through cuts to it. I bet you could get some Dems from poor districts in red states to push doing away with SALT caps.

I've given a consistent answer multiple times.

No tax on tips/overtime is stupid. It's income. Tax it properly and stop giving handouts.

The "Trump savings accounts" are Bernie tier. I'm getting taxed to give money to people for being born?

I'm consistently against protectionist policies like the tariffs on foreign ships and "buy American" requirements. It makes shite more expensive so we can feel patriotic under the guise of "we're protecting our industries!"

The leftard name calling is stupid, and makes you look silly.
