Financial Rules of Taipan's House.razoo » 27 Apr 2023, 5:07 pm » wrote: ↑ House Republicans narrowly passed their controversial plan for raising the federal debt limit and forcing sweeping cuts to federal programs and the social safety net in a party line vote on Wednesday.
The only full hearing on the legislation was held on the eve of the vote, and sparks were flying as lawmakers from both parties testified before the House Committee on Rules.
Rep. Jim McGovern, the committee’s ranking Democrat, suggested House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was rushing to pass the bill before the public had time to read the fine print.
“Maybe that’s why we’re moving so fast — maybe Mr. McCarthy doesn’t want people to realize what’s in the bill, and I don’t blame him,” McGovern told the committee.
“This is a ransom note to the American people that makes devastating draconian cuts to programs that help the poor..... the hungry, the sick and the vulnerable.”
In a familiar refrain, Republicans have claimed they are not targeting the poor and vulnerable, but those “able-bodied” freeloaders and who enjoy welfare benefits instead of getting a job.

1. We live within our means.
2. We are money-savers.
3. More money will come in the front door, than what will go out the back door.
4. Prepare for a rainy day. And, there will always be a rainy day.
5. Consumer debt is foolish. WE......will pay cash on the barrel-head ......after
negotiating rock-bottom cash price.
6. Commercial debt is wise, if well applied.
A. Buy a semi-truck w/ a loan from the bank. Put it on the road 24hr./day.
B. Pay off the loan & buy another truck.
C. Then 2 more, then 4 more, then 8 more, etc. The money rolls in.
What does debt feel like ?
I wouldn't know. I have never rowed that boat.

If there are able bodied Americans that can work but WON'T, then they need a rude awakening.

You mean they might have to get a job?
How cruel...
Capt. John Smith,
Jamestown, VA, 1605.
That was back in the day of "wooden ships & iron men".
We started this country, and built this country, with men like that.
Now, look at us.
Jeeese.
