You are suggesting that a republican congress with a republican president is going to exercise fiscal restraint.jerrab » 19 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ ------------------------------
4K views 1 day ago #CNN #NewsA report from The Congressional Budget Office concluded President Trump's proposed "big, beautiful bill" would add $3.8 trillion to the federal deficit over 8 years. This as conservative Republicans say they are not yet ready to support the bill as Speaker Mike Johnson tries to pass it through the House of Represe/////////////

would add.
I don't need politifact to alert me where a republican government and a checkbook leads, son. I've been over six decades on this rock. I was an adult in the reagan years and the bush years and trump one. I already know what trump redux is gonna re-do.jerrab » 9 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ -----------------------------That said, no expert assessment has shown that the bill will add nothing to the deficit.

You're really making that suggestion.
I give you props for optimism, son.
-------------------------------------------------------------------The cost of extending Trump’s expiring 2017 tax cuts — a cornerstone of the legislative package — along with measures to nix taxes on tips and overtime pay, are estimated to add trillions of dollars to the nation’s deficits over the next decade.
What you suggested in that post was certainly optimistic.jerrab » 18 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ i am not optimistic at all-----

- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went as far as to claim that the bill "does not add to the deficit," and that it would actually save $1.6 trillion through spending cuts and Medicaid work requirements.
What they're saying: "This tax bill's enormity is being underplayed ... [It] will cost more than the 2017 tax cuts, the pandemic CARES Act, Biden's stimulus, and the Inflation Reduction Act combined," Jessica Riedl, a budget specialist at the conservative Manhattan Institute, told Yahoo Finance.
- The Joint Committee on Taxation projects the House reconciliation bill would increase deficits by $3.8 trillion through 2034.
- The Penn Wharton Budget Model projects deficits of almost $3.3 trillion, even when accounting for "positive economic dynamics."
- Moody's, which downgraded the U.S. credit rating on Friday, estimates that extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts alone — a central component of the bill — would add $4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
- Jim Millstein, a former chief restructuring officer at the Treasury Department, warned that most deficit projections "assume consistent economic growth."

Don't get me wrong. I was also horrified. The orange menace was describing black's law ethnic cleansing.
But I DID think it was stupid **** - clouds in his coffee. So at the same time that I was rolling my eyes, I was also opening them in shock and horror.
Ridiculous, actually. It was brought to ruin years ago. We're running on fumes, son. And they are coming for our fumes.jerrab » 23 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I guess it may be funny to see trump bring the country to financial ruin.

Maybe you could work to have the democ rats re-open their primaries to allow fair competition. Coronating unqualified morons isn't working for you. You cheated Bernie in 2016. You haven't held an honest primary since 2008.
Maybe give that idea a shot for the first time in two decades, next time out. Otherwise, you can freak out over President Vance.
He had his run. He's too old now. He ran in 2016. And the machine robbed him of a fair shot.jerrab » 17 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I would encourage sanders to run. he does not want to. that being said he will help the best one and I don't think it will be aoc,

The democrat media gave hitlery the questions in advance. More likely, she gave THEM the questions - but that is speculation. That she had them and Bernie did not is established fact.
Little Billy Maher made every bernie bro swear fealty to hitlery "if" (when - wink wink) she "won" the nomination.
It does not matter if AOC runs for the nomination. What matters is whether your party bosses appoint her as the nominee.
You know this. And still you drink the koolaid and carry the water and hype yourself up over whatever they sic you on.

When are you going to prove your claim that Trump said he was going to make some of Gaza his very own personal property...?jerrab » Yesterday, 11:36 pm » wrote: ↑ here is what TRUMP posted

The electoral implications of voting for the "Beautiful Bill" will vary depending on the district and the voter's perception of the bill. In districts where constituents support the bill's provisions, such as tax cuts and increased defense spending, Republicans who voted for it may benefit. However, in districts where voters are opposed to the bill's content or perceive it as unfavorable, these Republicans may face challenges in their reelection bids.

In a floor speech before the vote on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" early Thursday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson called out his Democrat colleagues for what their ‘no’ votes would signify.
“Let the record show that when the House Democrats vote in a few moments, this is what they'll be voting for,” he said. “Their vote will show that they are apparently for the largest tax increase in the history of our country. They will be voting for when they vote against this bill, waste, fraud, and abuse. They will be voting against safer communities, American energy dominance and American strength on the world stage.”
Indeed, the National Republican Congressional Committee said House Democrats will come to regret their votes, arguing they essentially flipped middle-class America the bird.
“House Democrats just signed their own political death warrant," NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement. "Voters won't forget how they betrayed working families. And Republicans won't let them.”
