Since when are politicians good w/ our money and "investing"?

C'mon, buddy, WE are better w/ our money than politicians. Even if they were angles, they cannot overcome the "knowledge problem" Hayek talked about.

I get why a massive bill is necessary to hide all their pork

At least one congress person should just introduce single bills...

lets see where they stand. One bill for no USAID; one bill for NPR , etc...simple easy vote either yes or no..

But our POS congress refuses to give up their pork.

One did today. A Democrat introduced a bill to codify the prescription drug EO from the other day.

It also draws into question FLtech's insistence that all will be cured by the BBB, as if these same issues won't be a conflict in negotiating that fricking monstrosity of an "omnibus bill".


I don't understand why they are trying this it reduces the odds that they can actually get that thing passed, if they can't agree now on DOGE cuts how are they ever going to agree on the Big Beautiful Bill.

Trump is overseas cutting trade deals which is great but he needs to put on hi s deal hat and get laser focused on this or its going to go off the rails

- why should Congress codify the cuts when the Trump administration is expected to spend more than ever ? What is the executive branch cutting?

- Congressman don't want their names associated with mass government layoffs that could prove unpopular before the midterms

- DOGE constantly changes their own savings number.
Can you post the numbers/percentages of red state people affected by DOGE cuts?

When was the last Republican-controlled Congress that didn't absolutely suck balls?

There are hundreds of videos and audio interviews since the election explaining that they aren’t doing shite until the big beautiful bill is passes. This is Trump’s #1 priority.

They don’t like to hear truth. Just want to complain.

Honestly believe 2/3 of the country would prefer a moderate authoritarian at this point. Washington is a corrupt self serving cesspool on both sides. Nothing is getting done with this broken system. Time to make some examples out of these traitors

Congress needs a MAGA takeover, the current reps are useless pieces of shite.

Hopefully we can find something on them to kick them out (Epstein, corruption, etc…).
