I can't believe the fools are cutting programs we care about, imposing taxes on imports, and they STILL are not balancing the books. This is ridiculous. No tax cuts until you idiots balance the budget!
Remember everybody, we can't afford Social Security, Medicare, schools, postoffice, air traffic controllers, roads, trains ... but billionaire oligarchs need TRILLIONS more sitting in offshore bank accounts.
After all how else can they buy off Republicans. MAGA voters are dumb as a sack of bricks.
Just like the first Trump term when he added over $8 trillion to deficit in four years (a record). Now $2.5 trillion in the first year? When Republican have power this is what happens when voters have the memory of a gnat.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) may have trouble reducing the bill’s price tag, as that would require either making fewer tax cuts or steeper spending cuts in ways unpalatable to his conference.
That’s just this bill. Wait to add on the reductions in IRS workforce, roll back on regulations (including banking), and unexpected funding needed for increasing disasters, and you’re probably looking at $6-$8 trillion. What’s the worst that can happen?
Trump & republicans spent $7.8 trillion first go round & accomplished nothing. This time they’re going to add trillions to the deficit, for tax cuts for billionaires. Absolutely insane.
REPUBLICANS are happily selling out their consituents!!

Republicans own most, if not all, of our National Debt starting with Bush-Cheney. Remember, Dick Cheney said (while Republicans were in power), "Deficits don't matter". That seems to be their MO going forward. Debt only matters when Democrats are in power..
It's amazing how they feel so comfortable fucking the whole country so they can have more- because they are sure no one can do a goddamned thing to stop them

CUTS TO MEDICARE “Bigly hugely”
TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY
This dereliction of duty in the fact of country-destroying debt is nothing less than an attack on our nation.
They know this is unsustainable. They know this is going to cause the US to default. They do it anyway because their stupid and/or evil.
Your oppression is their profession.
Pathological sociopaths.

Come on, you mean "debt" and not "deficit"? Important difference.
Liars!
