when will you people learn? Ever?? Why do you people give this garbage a second look?


Plus I was told there were no actual cuts and DOGE was a failure.

Nice to see Eurotwat took time out from fighting in the Ukrainian trenches to grace us with some dipshit leftist propaganda.

If you are not bashing my head in, or encouraging said bashing how is it your fault.

This is also a vey hyperbolic situation and emotional tug of a situation you are positing. Most people have neither the stomach or the training to get involved in a situation like that.

Additionally to follow that thread, my first responsibility is to ensure I get home every evening and be able to continue to take care of my family and ensure no one else has to.

We damn sure never cut spending
Record revenue
But if you vote to stop codified spending increases you are slashing “programs “

Republicans do not necessarily equate to conservatives. Dipshat. But it is vividly apparent that prog libs such as yourself have absolutely taken over the Dem party.

Would you go ahead and give up your home (or Mama’s home where you live) as well as your car to a less fortunate individual? How about cutting your grades to a C to share your hard work in Lesbian Dance in college with those struggling in school? I bet you wouldn’t.

Only answer is to vote against all tax increases and push for more projects like DOGE. Term limits across the board.Balanced Budget Amendment.

Welcome to the world of "illusion economics". Can someone explain to me how we continue to have spending out the whazzo, with a $ 40 trillion dollar debt? I can't even envision a trillion dollars, let alone $ 40 trillion.

More important, what and when will trigger the collaspe of this whole deficit house of cards?

Asking for a friend.

There's two parties. One has some members that want to cut spending and others that pretend to but don't care. The other has zero members that want to cut spending. You've blamed the first party while excusing the second.


I EXPECT the second party to lie about the issue and do nothing.

I don’t expect the same of the first party, but they are no different, so I no longer support them with my votes.

How about, we start with sending liberal idiot judges home, cutting their salaries first?
