Republicans have given themselves a set of mutually exclusive constraints for their upcoming tax-and-budget bill:
*cut taxes, especially for rich & corporations
*not expand deficit
*not tick off their constituents, who would absolutely be hurt by Medicaid/SNAP cuts
*not raise debt limit
*cut taxes, especially for rich & corporations
*not expand deficit
*not tick off their constituents, who would absolutely be hurt by Medicaid/SNAP cuts
*not raise debt limit

Lie.
Blame an other (immigrants, trans kids, librarians, etc.
Lie.
Collect the bribes.
Watch the media credulously "report" it,
Watch Republican voters lap it all up like Jim Jones' kool aid.
Add tests/ requirements that oddly don't exclude MAGA

Too late 🤭
*not expand deficit -gonna happen but they’re messing with the math to make it look less bad than it is
*not tick off their constituents, who would absolutely be hurt by Medicaid/SNAP cuts -they don’t care
*not raise debt limit -gonna do it
Eventually, they’ll just make up revenue numbers caused by the latest voodoo economics tax cuts for the rich and call it a day.
first they're there to punish China
then they'll bring back mfg
then they're supposed to replace income tax
then they're a chip to be bargained away
I'm guessing they'll achieve tax cuts for the rich, and nothing else.
Once you get in power you have to live in the real world.
“MENSA group.” 🤣😂🤣
The corn is for me, so I can have some snacks while the world burns.
But the US has not decimated the Chinese economy either, not even close.
The tariff effects, should they keep existing, will be a slow-motion avalanche.
As a Jedi level planner, I find this unconscionable! 🙇
Lying about the cost of tax cuts has worked reliably for Republicans since Reagan. No reason to believe it won’t work for them again.
It boils down to …
How do we build a budget that rewards the wealthy people who give us money, while not alienating the masses who vote us into office?
Take the outside money out of politics and everything gets easy to figure out. Government was not supposed to be a get rich quick scheme.
This is not rocket science folks.
& self-empowering, and conversely, is completely indifferent to popular, social or civic betterment. The GOP is now brazey corrupt to its core.
And, no, the two major parties are not the same in that respect.
Who owns our debt? China right? They also own a huge chunk of treasury bills. They aren’t collecting in our lifetimes.
Also no one REALLY cares about debt, they just use it as an excuse to obstruct policy and speak in simple terms
"Not Lying"
it's a FARCE......
