Is this a different species of turtle?
.
What happens when Ukraine asks for $$$
.
I’m hoping they aren’t that stupid to trust an informal or hand shake deal, but I know they are that stupid.
Its just a turtle that’s going to wave a piece of paper like Neville Chamberlain once did except this time it will be called
“spending cuts in our time”
instead of:
“peace in our time”.
Sure, they’ll cut funding for the border, for airline security, for air traffic control, and for the military food budget. No problem.
A “handshake” with the Biden administration!?!?!? NO ONE would take that deal …
“”Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), As such, we will not be voting for cloture on any bill that raises the debt ceiling without substantive spending and budget reforms.”
.
Money. For. The. Wall.
Lots of money.
The progs will screech.
Time to start hitting them in their every money grab.
Want $$$ for the fags?
Money. For. The. Wall.
Want $$$ for the climate hoax?
Money. For. The. Wall.
EVs? Wall.
Ukraine? Wall.
Bailout banks? Wall.
Illegals? Wall.
Pension funds? Wall.
EVERYTHING.
No letup.
.
Every once in a while the turtle surprises his critics. This might be one of those times but then again the proof is in the details. Precisely, what/where would be the cuts he supports.
The kind of government we have morphed into, I don’t want funded AT ALL.
The Turtle has noticed the support McCarthy has received from his caucus, and the public at large. He’s simply jumping on the bandwagon...not that I’m complaining.
I want the budget for the IRS and the FBI SLASHED!!!
Yeah, becasue Turtle has been such a staunch warrier for spending restraint...(sarc/off).
The Republicans need to produce a plan about what gets funded when a deal is not reached. Top of the list should be debt interest payments.
Since WWII the US has experienced a number of recessions, and some of them pretty severe. In that time Washington has experienced none and has grown to the extent it has become a malignancy so large it threatens the very existence of our nation. It’s well past time for emergency surgery to greatly reduce the size and scope of our national government, but alas, it will not happen because Washington is only concerned about Washington. Americans need to remember government doesn’t create wealth, it consumes it. Once it consumes beyond a certain point, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop the slide to economic oblivion.
BEFORE Biden hired 87,000 IRS agents/employees . . .

EXCERPTS:
The sheer size of our government workforce is an alarming problem
After eight years of reckless expansion of the federal workforce under Barack Obama, Donald Trump vowed to downsize the wildly growing bureaucracy of Washington. In 2016, he promised to “cut so much your head will spin.” However, during the first two years of his presidency, there has been no significant effort to reduce the bloated federal payrolls. In fact, the federal government is the largest employer in the nation.
Walmart, which has a presence in communities of all shapes and sizes, is the largest private employer in the nation with 1.5 million workers.
Yet the number of Americans who rely on the corporate giant for their livelihoods is dwarfed by the number who rely on the federal government for their paychecks.
The federal government employs nearly 9.1 million workers, comprising nearly 6 percent of total employment in the United States.
The figure includes nearly 2.1 million federal employees, 4.1 million contract employees, 1.2 million grant employees, 1.3 million active duty military personnel, and more than 500,000 postal service employees.
McConnell found a spine?
Can’t be his spine - he has none. Still, he should use this one for all its worth.
There should be no debt - the government should live within its means like everyone else. Maybe get rid of welfare and quit sending money and weapons to Ukraine and other places in the world.
Also, regarding the border, 230 grains of lead is much cheaper than a cell phone and EBT card.
Translated to American English this means an agreement to raise the debt ceiling is coming forthwith.
“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has signed onto a letter stating he and more than 40 members of the Senate GOP conference will not back “any bill that raises the debt ceiling without substantive spending and budget reforms,” according to sources.”
I don’t believe anything coming out of McConnell’s mouth, even the “ands” and “thes.”
