Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

I think what we are seeing is more than just tax breaks. Looks like a transfer of wealth from the government to them.

Start the phone calls. This cannot pass. Make them live within the current debt ceiling. Let them realize Trump is the master of running up useless debt. AND NO TAX ICREASES FOR CORPORATIONS AND THE 1%.

This is beyond tax breaks. They want total control of all aspects of how we live. Having all the money is part of that but not all. Money is power, they want all of both.

No! Our debt is so high, $36 Trillion, that other nations are paying LOWER interest rates on their national debt than we are on our national debt. The world is saying you are getting precariously close to default dear USA.

dar68.bsky.social•71 days ago

So let's see how many of those Republicans refuse to vote for it since they have been screaming that there should be no more debt limit increases since the debt is so high. Somehow I think when the Fuhrer is the one behind it, they will be reborn.

If Trump's six bankruptcies, his numerous court losses for stiffing his workers and defrauding people, and his fiscal conduct during his first term have taught us anything, it's that his core belief is that he should be allowed to get things, but that he should not be beholden to pay for them.

If the Democrats are serious about the budget fight, the House & Senate should not show up & deny the quorum for any functions of the House and Senate.🤔 Whatever the number required, they should +1 to not show up at neither House and Senate!🤨 Rotate in different members to really f with the GOP!😂🤣

If President Select Msk is eliminating so much waste, fraud and abuse, and First Lady Trmp is going to cut so much spending, why do we need to raise the debt ceiling?
Explain it to me like I’m 5, guys…

spider75.bsky.social•71 days ago

They cut 4 trillion in taxes to their rich buddies and take away our benefits plus put us in more debt. That sums it up.

silvernepeta.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yep, sure does….

zengardnz.bsky.social•71 days ago

They don’t NEED to; they WANT to to give themselves a HUGE tax break and raise taxes on the working and middle classes to help pay for it.

silvernepeta.bsky.social•71 days ago

Are the marks here?

sd-scot.bsky.social•71 days ago

Fuck them, sorry folks but the shutdown is the maga's fault now. Dems need to hold the line on this one and get everything they want in the bill. Fuck trump!!

droyan.bsky.social•71 days ago

What else would we expect?

deedyjeen.bsky.social•71 days ago

Any they want your Social Security to pay down the deficit

helicoptermayo.bsky.social•71 days ago

Why would they need that if Elon is cutting so much waste

thelaur.bsky.social•71 days ago

K-Elon really REALLY wants to colonize Mars. Not getting quite that high on K.

comradetyi.bsky.social•71 days ago

The debt ceiling is a whatever problem the US is still the gobal super power (in decline). Maybe if the dems actually fought for and DELIVERED policy that increased the material conditions of the working class, instead of rolling over to republicans more ppl would vote for them.

crazysaguaro.com•71 days ago

Why would they needs an increase of any kind with all the DOGE savings??

1bigdog.bsky.social•71 days ago

They also have to pay for all the "buyouts", troops in Gaza, Trump's Superbowl stunt and Trump's golf outings. Oh yeah, and tax cuts.

caliglow.bsky.social•71 days ago

They’re at the point where even MAGA is starting to look for the exits. I hope they keep at it.

starkkatch13.bsky.social•71 days ago

Nah they just want to pillage the money that no one can see them take. There getting rid of checks an balances .There is no one left to check on what they do.

brendao.bsky.social•71 days ago

Wait, why? They are cutting so much spending... they should be fine with what it is now. Honestly, with all the cuts and layoffs, they can cut their depth ceiling, too. Where are all the savings DOGE has created? Surely not directly into the Trump/Musk joint personal account!

brendao.bsky.social•71 days ago

*debt ceiling... ( It's never duck )

agedadventure.bsky.social•70 days ago

Trump and Musk are in a race to see who is the world’s richest man/baby! Trump plans on beating Musk!

brendao.bsky.social•70 days ago

I hope it's a battle to the death. May the worst man win quickly!

scrabbyone.bsky.social•71 days ago

But it's not just that, Angry!

They want to insert cronies into every single stream of govt $. Like school vouchers.

They want to maximize profits by eliminating costly regulatory compliance. To hell with our safety and security.

raineyone.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yep

brownejax2024.bsky.social•70 days ago

This seems like fraud, waste and abuse as the swastikar has killed over 600 people. Are we in the business of murdering our own military because a nazi needed MORE money???

tensgurl.bsky.social•70 days ago

No conflict of interest here🙄

brownejax2024.bsky.social•70 days ago

the dems and libs need to come together create their own fraud, waste and abuse dept and call it the cock blocker dept, use elons face as the logo. I am not down for fuck face trying to slip through 400M to a fucking nazi just so teslas stock value goes up.

tensgurl.bsky.social•70 days ago

I agree but instead you have Jeffries on the floor of the house with his dick in his hand saying he “doesn’t know what to do”😡

brownejax2024.bsky.social•70 days ago

I know they fucking drive me insane! I want them to go grab their balls out of whatever drawer they left them in and fucking get their shit together!

chelboo.bsky.social•70 days ago

Not much they can do being in the minority. If a few republicans grew a spine, they could block legislation. But, the GOP currently doesn’t give a shit about the law, or procedures. It sucks, but true.

agedadventure.bsky.social•70 days ago

They ‘all’ are so afraid of Trump, non of them dare step out of line. They will just sit back, and hope they get a piece of all the money Trump and Musk are stealing from taxpayers!

nlipschu.bsky.social•71 days ago

Democrats do not fund this government. It’s up to you!

classifiedmediads.bsky.social•71 days ago

Correct

janciebe.bsky.social•71 days ago

Aren't they "saving" trillions by shutting down your entire government?

rumblydad.bsky.social•71 days ago

Did you notice the seed planted by Trump in his Super Bowl interview, blaming our 36T deficit on foreign countries? He equated our national debt with trade deficits which is nonsense but will confuse voters. He’s going to jack up the debt (again) to pay for tax cuts but blame it on other countries

1truthwhisperer.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump increased our national debt nearly 7 trillion dollars in 4 years.

rumblydad.bsky.social•71 days ago

That was just a warm up.

1truthwhisperer.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yep. Unless we put a stop to it apparently.

agedadventure.bsky.social•70 days ago

Or Biden!

silenceredux.bsky.social•71 days ago

Aren't these the same fiscal conservatives who were wringing their hands over the deficit during the last debt ceiling vote? Building concentration camps is expensive, I guess.

Leon Musk was just awarded even more billions for his self-interests. We are living in the dark ages. Very dark.

Those golf outings don’t fund themselves!

jackieburnestharp.bsky.social•71 days ago

Shouldn't need it with all the money they are saving

geez-louise01.bsky.social•71 days ago

But they’re gutting social programs. What are they doing with that savings? And what do they want with 4 trillion? I hope dems don’t cooperate.

resist33.bsky.social•71 days ago

Republicans really suck at economics’

furballexpress.bsky.social•71 days ago

Lemme guess: that's just to pay for year one of these no-return-on-investment billionaire tax breaks.

bucketshopbob.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yes bye bye food stamps and Medicaid... but don't worry the money will trickle down... so dumb theve been selling this same bullshit for decades. What if you're rich someday do you want to pay crazy taxes...

invictusghost.bsky.social•71 days ago

They are in a cult.

They have the keys and are stealing the bank.

planetdead.bsky.social•71 days ago

They were going to "save money" only to increase debt ceiling ?

bienekeloevendie.bsky.social•71 days ago

Everything for their OWN gain. I feel sorry for the USA and for the world. The orange stain is insane… and gave away power to another insane idiot.
Hope an impeachment will come asap…

lady-dem.bsky.social•71 days ago

And they “don’t even pay taxes right now”!

National debt ONLY matters when a democrat is in the White House

bravestbunny.bsky.social•71 days ago

aderriere.bsky.social•71 days ago

President Jackson disobeyed scotus and committed genocide. But at least he paid off the national debt in full. Only president to do that. (and it caused the economy to crash)

anonfrog2600.bsky.social•70 days ago

What if there were no taxes? Where is our money going anyway? War. Food waste. Over budgeted expense for "Defense" spending then abandoning our troops. Expensive health care. Excessive fines.

seriously-wtf.bsky.social•71 days ago

The problem is that the MAGATs don't see outside of their hate.
They don't care about the debt ceiling.

chrisjek.bsky.social•71 days ago

Most of them cannot even spell debt ceiling.

Used to be a guy who reasonably saw the use use of debt ceiling increases seeing as the USD replaced gold as the world reserve. All of a sudden I find myself shifting to the FAFO mindset of '🤔'

and their pillage

stillblue2024.bsky.social•71 days ago

As always, the rich will let the rest of us carry the tax load.
