It’s cool, though. I mean, Mike Johnson and the House haven’t reduced the tax cut for the billionaire class by a similar amount, but Chip Roy and the rest of the “deficit hawks” are good with it, so it must add up.

So many problems in the US could be lessened if Americans weren’t so profoundly ignorant of the rest of the world. Share news from outside the US with your family. Not crises or reactions to the US, not disingenuous “everything is perfect” nonsense, but just to show how things work.
