119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

[Garmel]

Reminder to my fiscally conservative friends. The last surplus occurred during the Clinton presidency after he raised taxes.

I'd settle for a Texas two-step to fiscal sanity: GOP cuts spending while in power and Dems raise taxes when they win.

Clinton also cut the capital gains tax at the time.

The GOP House cut the hell out of spending.

Embarrassing.

I don’t want to hear a single politician who votes in favor of this budget say a single thing about DOGE.

It should be noted that the CBO baseline projection (which assumes no change in law) had a $1.7 billion deficit projected for 2026. They made their projection last month.

The out-year numbers are of interest. But what each Congress (and President who has to sign it) has before it is the responsibility for the next budget.

DOGE is a dog whistle. It was never about cutting spending it was about being "efficient" which means the cronies moving money from one pile to another.

Seems like some Republicans justified their yes vote as a kick the can down the road until September where they’ve committed to passing spending cuts. Lol.. I’ll believe it when I see it

DNC, you’re being handed a political gift. Do not squander it.

I could see this- by then the DOGE stuff should be full circle and they can start cutting where needed. Early March\late Feb is likely too early for it to be surgical.

Hey - we don’t look for any of it but the amount that we found is small. Why do you care?

Because I don’t want to pay more for a bunch of things to try to stop 43 pounds of Fentanyl?

Those Dems making fun of DJ the kid with brain cancer after the address need to be drug behind a car, and then shot

You know how many people can die from 43#?

I thought you cared about all the worldly neighbors even ones you don’t know

I guess not caring about American lives IS consistent
