So NOW they care about the deficit.
This was predicted.
Mike Johnson postponed this vote this week. If anyone is/was paying attention, we knew this was gonna happen.
If it goes to the Senate - will it make it out of there?
The article is behind a paywall, but are they not voting for it because it costs too much, or because there aren’t enough restrictions on government or because it doesn’t move things along fast enough?
I’m not clear on how many of the DOGE cuts have been included in the budget (or excluded...)
I haven’t heard if any of the useless agencies that were identified have been officially defended by congress in this budget...
If the Chip Gang get what they want, the bill will be DOA in the Senate. If they don’t, it will be DOA in the House.
Nancy Pelosi was every nasty thing she was called and more, but she kept the herd in line the only way that works in DC, which is the intimidation folder. It will never happen with us.
Cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and subsidies for clean energy would partly offset the roughly $3.8 trillion cost of those tax measures over 10 years, as well as increased spending on the military and immigration enforcement.

3.8 Trillion? Is the Times being kind? Estimates of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has had deficit increases of at least 5 trillion.
Sometimes I really believe that the JACKASS should be the GOP mascot.
“Conservatives”?
Baffling. Conservatives upset that Conservatives want to be Conservative. This whole “You have to spend money to save money!” concept is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
Serious question: Is there a reason we keep sticking with these huge omnibus bills? Why can’t we do a 1 page bill that says “2017 tax cuts are permanent.”. Another 1 pager that says “no tax on tips or SS”. Etc. It seems like these would be MUCH easier to pass, or at least get their votes on record...
If it gives a win to President Trump, it’ll never pass. Deep state is firmly in control of DC.
Who do you trust more?
A prostitute? Or a politician?
It’s time to start making some calls. Repubs threatening to raise our taxes is not acceptable.
I just want to know what these people want..seriously, just pass SOMETHING, otherwise taxes are going to go up for everyone and guess what, Republicans will be blamed for it and rightfully so, maybe that is what these douche bags want
Not enough pork for their own special interest to give them enough donor 'contributions'....
Didn’t go far enough? It’s still pretty God damn far!!
Take what you can get this year because the cuts to social Security taxes alone would guarantee a supermajority in the midterms. Dumbasses
So who is running this caucus? Johnson, or Chip Roy?
But...but..
We HAVE to vote for the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts because..because...
Well, just because
It should never have been one bill. Broken up and tiled right there could have been two bills both with a chance for reconciliation. Tax cuts, defense, deregulation, modest welfare reform, all could’ve passed. Next go-around could have handled the rest. Really bad tactics which have a few congress critters too much leverage.
Trump needs to weigh in biggly. But so far he seems to like spending big. He did his first term to. Trump for all his bombast doesn’t like war. Foreign or domestic.
