“It’s what President Trump has asked for." Republicans are gearing up to adopt a budget that would statutorily increase the debt. But they say that’s fine as long as it’s for tax cuts.

Did you ever think how prosperous we might be, if we didn't do these tax cuts, where we give the richest people in our country, TRILLIONS of our tax dollars !
I somehow think the rich could survive without it !
Anyone up for a tax revolt? Instead of wallowing in a left-wing version of Susan Collins’ handwringing or waiting for congressional Dems to act, why not simply withhold our federal tax payments. There’s no one left at the IRS.
Tax cuts for who? For the population that isn’t rich? For the 99% of Americans who make less than $170 K per year? Or are they tax cuts for the millionaire/ billionaire class as well as big businesses. I know they are talking about tax cuts for the latter group I mentioned.
Trump and the Republicans are traitors. You sold our country to Russia and you also want to gut us all for tax cuts for the super rich.
Disgusting...each and every one of you.
The GOP only cares about fiscal responsibility when a democrat is in office. Their typical MO is to drive up the deficit and then to obstruct any Dem effort to rein it in.
The artists, the thinkers, the dreamers—once the soul of the republic—find themselves in the crosshairs of a regime that sees creativity as an enemy, imagination as a threat. Because tyranny,dear reader, does not tolerate color—it prefers a uniform shade of silence. Catch Day 4 of my series today..
So folks who’ve paid into the system for years & now need government services will pay the price. The 1% will get richer while not paying a fair proportional share for our common defense & National Security. But hey… we’ll have more border security and the dishwashers & tomato pickers will be gone.
And in 2028 when we can plainly show that Trump once again accelerated our national debt, MAGA won’t believe it. (Caveat being they could inflate the debt away, but then MAGA wouldn’t believe those numbers either).
Just say that if the Oligarchs billionaires paid their fair share of taxes, WE WOULDN’T NEED TO RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT. Not all of us are stupid so stop treating us like we are.
This is Republican orthodoxy. The problem is that these tax cuts have never paid for the debt they create. I wish they'd just be honest and not try to justify it with falsities. Just say they prefer to get something for nothing.
In every single Republican presidency the deficit has gone up. WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT BUT TAX BREAKS FOR THE TREASONOUS RICH. While Trumphole is charging businesses 1 million dollars for fifteen minutes of his TRAITOROUS time. How much of that is going straight to the country Trumphole??
Trump lays the groundwork to claim a Pyrrhic victory. He’ll return to claim credit for putting out the fire — but not before the US gets burned. He has turned the shining light on the hill into a scorched dung heap by the roadside; a shallow money trench filled with all manner of bilge.
The *Rump philosophy - what is good for the rich eventually helps the poor. If the rich have more riches, they will spend more, which means more jobs for maids, cooks, gardeners and other service workers for the wealthy.
The "job creators.".
"I don't know any poor man who was pulled out of poverty by a poor man", sure but I do know rich men who enriched themselves off millions of poor people.
Trump and the Republicans are going to bankrupt the country like he did all his businesses because the revenue won't even be enough to pay the interest on all the debt...and unfortunately, he won't be around to suffer the consequences of it. But then again, we already know he doesn't care.
This means record deficit =US dollar will fall, and cost of any imported goods will skyrocket, not just from Taurus but from the fall of the value of the dollar. Absolutely insane.
There will not be much of a middle class left. More people will be at or below the poverty level due to loss of jobs, insurance, and housing (to name a few).
Cuts to the VA, Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid are fine, just keep those Billionaire Tax Cuts coming. Thanks Republican Congress. You make Trump proud.
How many times must we rinse and repeat this America? During Bush they did this and Paul Ryan bitched during Obamas tenure that there was too much spending. Wise up people…Tax cuts don’t always mean “you”.
So I can look forward to being admonished again during the next Democratic administration about how important fiscal responsibility is. Feels like a debt bonanza so far.
You don’t have to be a genius to figure out this will not end well.
Increased spending/higher debt ceiling - reduced taxes = we’re fucked.
The math ain’t mathing.
The Republican platform since the 1980s has been nothing but a massive wealth transfer from the middle class and poor people in the US and tax avoidance by the super rich.
Who are they "insisting" too? Not me! I insisted years ago that donald is a tiny orange bag of Di-KS walking around openly giving people bird flu and sh-t. No one listened then. Come on @lincolnproject.us don't sugar coat it.
There is now a template to let the next Democratic president issue EOs to "nullify" the GOP Tax Scam laws and set new tax brackets by fiat. Of course this will require that Dems also hold the House and Senate, but there is a way to "fix it all" with the stroke of a pen: play by their rules.
1) state massive fraud findings
2) claim huge savings
3) use tariffs to increase tax revenue
4) cut income taxes
5) voters favor republicans in midterms
6) Republicans win enough state legislatures to call a convention of states
7) Democracy dead
After we get about $25 trillion more in debt and can’t dig out of it, maybe some of those in MAGA will I’ll finally admit they were wrong. It will get worse before it gets better.
No Trump and his minions will blame it on Democrats or just Biden. It's never their fault and their magat followers believe everything he says no matter what. It isn't a lack of intelligence it is indoctrination. They are a cult.
Republicans talk a tough game on fiscal responsibility but they don’t practice what they preach. We have experienced huge increases in the deficit and debt under Republican administrations since Reagan. Huge increases meaning $trillions. This is just more of their gaslighting and smoke.
There will come a day this regime will pay for their dereliction of duty to protect the constitution of the United States for which they have sworn an oath to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It will be very swift and harsh.
Tax cuts for the very wealthiest and funded by the poorest!
Yes, that is the GOP plan to 'Make America Great Again', except that it will just destroy OUR country, or it will bring on the French-style Revolution that has been slowly approaching a whole lot faster!
Beware! The cruel and corrupt Republicans in Congress are attempting to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and vile! They must be stopped!
I feel really stupid. How does this work? muskrat and his acolytes are firing hard working people and defunding vital programs to decrease federal spending but the budget will substantially increase?????
The Trump attack on our Central Government is an attack on the working class that depends heavily on government protection and benefits. These cuts will be devasting to every aspect of the public. Then toss in growing inflation via trade tariffs and mass deportation of immigrants. It's crazy-evil!
This is the US government paying for tax cuts that only enrich the oligarchy by borrowing money, since they already siphoned all the money there is to suck out of the working class.
The average American will never see these cuts on their tax returns.
The GoP doesn’t give AF about the debt or reforming the system. They have one goal - destroying the system so they can profit from the destruction. Period.
It’s what happened in Russia. All the people running the country took ownership of the industries in the country so that when the government collapsed, all the same people still ran everything, but we’re now millionaires and billionaires
Love them job creating trickle down your leg tax cuts. These guys are more like Herbert Hoover /Andrew Mellon wrapped in pull yourself up by your boot straps Christo fascists.
We will give tax breaks to the billionaires, borrow the money to pay for the tax breaks from the billionaires, pay the billionaires interest on the money we borrow from them to pay the tax breaks, borrow the money we use to pay the interest to the billionaires from the billionaires, etc. etc.
He will bankrupt the country like everything else he’s done. Republicans can never ever say they want to balance the budget. Wondering how Jennings is going to defend this shit.
Republicans are complicit because that want a piece of the pie. They don’t care about their constituents. They only care about money and power. They were elected by magats. What a fucking mess.
Here is Texas MAGA Mouthpiece @keithself.bsky.social #TX03 (who spent his first term blathering on against Debt Ceiling Increases) endorsing a $4 TRILLION INCREASE to the US Debt Ceiling.
Hypocrisy runs amuck among the @housegop.bsky.social and the "Freedom Caucus"...
I know they don’t live here, but I’d love for a republican - ANY REPUBLICAN - to show me how the national debt has personally hurt them. If you can, I’ll buy them a cup of coffee so they can tell me how this administrations plan will absolutely save them from…the country being debt
Legit question…. not trying to roast anyone with this:
If DOGE succeeds with their efforts (and there has been plenty of announcements that they’re being successful…) then why should the government need more debt/ higher debt ceiling??

Almost Shakespearian.

Hmmm?
There - got rid of the double-speak for you.
"I don't know any poor man who was pulled out of poverty by a poor man", sure but I do know rich men who enriched themselves off millions of poor people.
-Every elected Republican.

Did Republican magats in Congress accept bribes from the muskrat?
They're shills for the rich, nothing more.
Moody's downgrade

He couldn't care less for what's good for OUR Country...
And the MAGA GOP is selling USa down the river!
Their grandchildren will curse the current officials for the debts they left for them to pay!
When the debts of a country increases, the worth of that country diminish accordingly.
The value of the dollar is consequential of how this country is able to repay the dept.
From the moment fElon Musk and Trump will have bankrupt the country, there won’t be any worth left.
Act before
The wealthy need to pay more taxes.
This is the US government paying for tax cuts that only enrich the oligarchy by borrowing money, since they already siphoned all the money there is to suck out of the working class.

They Claim they’re Saving Trillions,
So Obviously Shouldn’t Need a Penny more.
Hahaha, it was a rhetorical question, of course they don’t.
