Nothing wrong with that. Even as an Oilfield guy I will say that there is no reason why we cant have Fossil Fuels and Green Energy. Plain and simple the Green Stuff is a Myth. You will never generate enough power. No reason we cant keep Drilling and Producing while advancing Renewable Energy Technology. The Kicker is to make if for Energy to be more affordable for the average person.

Okay - truth talk here - the filibuster (and I am NOT advocating for a change in the rule) is the reason we are at this point.

Very good explanation. If you didn’t read the whole thing you should go back to the post to which I responded.

When Democrats push for giving taxpayer money to solar and wind companies part of the. Explanation is because it will create an industry with many jobs. The plan was never to buy the parts from China and the parts from China is what is being taxed.

What needs to happen is a government shutdown. Period. Don’t proceed without 13 appropriation bills.

When this BBB is done, that’s the way forward. You’ll see who is behind all this BS spending.

You voted to increase the deficit?


Such a dumb argument. Did you vote for higher taxes and keeping illegals in the country? That's what your opposition to the bill will give us, so you must have voted for it. That's the great logic you are using.

Where is the increased spending? Actual spending is reduced. Tax breaks are not spending. If you want the government to take more of our money to fix a problem they created, you are not conservative. You are simply a useful idiot.

Show the specifics of where this increased spending is without including tax breaks in your analysis. How much does this bill actually increase spending without using bloated, fraudulent numbers from the CBO?

Tell me the actual increase in spending and maybe I'll be convinced that it's just too much to protect our country. But none of you will do that. All you can do is parrot numbers you can't actually verify.

IDC if they tax solar and wind for using Chinese parts

Wouldn't the tariffs already cover this? Seems unnecessary to add another layer of taxation when it could be handled at the point of import.

I get this and I think this would lead to the best policy...but can these bills get 60 votes?

can see the multi level chess in play. Make BBB so big with major issues addressed. Then circle back to deficit cuts in smaller or single point legislation.

Elon will run interference with primary threats to Rinos. Build majority numbers during midterm elections and ROLL.

You literally just imagined this idea into existence with 0 evidence to believe that it's true of course.


Of course I did. lol

Prove it wrong.
