They don't have a revenue problem. They take in way more than they should. They have a spending problem. Tax increases ( giving them even more money to piss away on stupid crap) is definitely not the answer.

"I'd estimate well above 90% of Republicans and Democrats are either leveraged, blackmailed or bought and paid for by entities outside of our country".

If you pipe this subject into X it is people retweeting The Atlantic—a failed left-wing rag nobody reads—that now claims @elonmusk and DOGE is a failure. Adam Schiff is saying ignorantly like Cubbies that it is Trump and Elon's failures.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

The democrats are eying a comeback and don't care if America collapses. The R's want the minority to cuck watch Trump impeachments. Why doesn't Johnson just rip the band aide off and just hand the gavel to Temu Obama like Paul Ryan?

The democrats are in the poor house gutter. The Rs are swiftly approaching. The democrats will grab the baton and laugh running to hell on breaks,

Plan B is the courts trying to usurp the power of the purse when they are failures.

Trust the plan nothing can stop what is coming is the collapse of America. Why would you need Plan B if there was a plan to trust where Congress Critters helped?

It is nonsense. Fla Tech is a concern troll. Only a troll would post a Trump parade with weiner hotdog floats.

Ron Johnson already crowed the BBB is going to them to be cuck revised and frick over DOGE. So they can obey their special interests and lobbyists and go ching ching. Thune will Paul Ryan the BBB and they will enact their slush funds as America collapses.

They all loathe Trump. Get real. As Uncle Lindsey plays golf with his long con mark, and Bongino posts like a 14 year old girl they are working 12 hour days we need to STFU.

He will keep us safe with Barbie Bondi and Ka$h while we watch Trump impeachments and Adam Schiff leading the way.

How many years have they done continuing resolutions? 21 years. Then don't even start on the Rand Paul libertarians who railed on DOGE happening in his festivus- then sits on his hands with Massie.

Powerman and Cubbies are now suddenly gifted that Trump is a fake like they just knew all along. Sad. Very very sad. The idiots and democrats are made to be rightious. Congrats, trust the plan, bitches.

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

Newt Gingrich led Republicans balanced the budget. They had a list of the promises they made, and Gingrich publicly flaunted the list as he crossed off every promise delivered…and the American people voted them out of the majority. And THERE is the problem, not congress, but the American people.

Back then people were propagandized to watch a war LIVE on MSNBC as Saddam's statue toppled. Did we win the Bush wars? Many died so Cheney could throttle Haliburton.

Biden wiped out all of those wars sacrifices by dead soldiers pulling out of Afghanistan in the manner he did. Giving the CCP the rare minerals and our equipment to the black market to use against us.

Neoconism died. Very few want continuing resolutions into endless wars.

MAGA happened- so it is the congress critters that are THEE problem.

I agree - democracy has failed us - I don’t want demon possessed leftists voting - their opinion is wrong and therefore shouldn’t count.

Our country would be better if Trump just took over for 10 years and just did what is needed to fix things then we do a complete reset.

The executive isn't cutting essential DoD spending. The Golden Dome and classified futuristic military, and ramping up the Naval fleet isn't cheap...

Trump does not take a paycheck. The Biden's became billionaires and pissed it away in offshore accounts from the CCP-- Why did Joe take a POTUS paycheck? Obama,- Clintons were broke leaving the WH- Bush, were far from hurting for money with 'foundations.' and 'book deals.'

If you’re massively in debt there’s two ways out of it. Stop spending or increase your income so you can pay more on it. If we were just a little in debt that would be one thing, but the hole is unfathomly big. We can cut spending but the only things that make any difference to cut are the military, social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And the right seems to push back on cutting that just as much as the left. So we’re left with tax increases. Keeping on spending (or doing what we’re doing cutting things like USAID and pretending that’s the solution) while not increasing tax revenue is the worst thing we can do as it will just make the debt increase which is what we’re on track to do.

Uhh, not sure what you are disagreeing with. Newt Gingrich's congress did balance the budget. They did pass bills to do everything in The Contract with America; and they were voted out of the majority for it. I'm just not sure what you were disagreeing with?

Why does Congress need DOGE to cut NPR and PBS?

What did DOGE really do that wasn't already being done by the many audits each department were doing already?

Once Elon lost his special election and the courts kicked back his move fast and break things agenda it was over. There was never a mandate to burn the government to the ground and he overplayed his hand spectacularly, getting on X and talking about how he was going to have every regulation under the sun repealed and starting from scratch, as if that would ever happen and wouldn't cause mass chaos if it did.

Also the idea that austerity alone will fix the country completely misunderstands basic economics and didn't see how that philosophy fricked over the UK.

As usual it's not as simple as red team vs blue team but most are emotionally unable to understand that.
