Bannon on WR with Dan Bishop just mentioned this tweet by Rep. Mace, called it the most comprehensive tweet and will be talking about it later.

Washington is broken.
Republicans got outsmarted by a President who can’t find his pants.
I’m voting NO on the debt ceiling debacle because playing the DC game isn’t worth selling out our kids and grandkids.
Let’s dive into the bill:
This “deal” normalizes record high spending started during the pandemic. It sets these historically high spending levels as the baseline for all future spending. The bill then grows govt even more each year at about ~1%.
After factoring in a small cut to discretionary spending over the next 2 yrs, we are still talking about ~$6T more or less in spending bc of large increases in spending elsewhere.
In other words, it’s a wash spending-wise.
Govt grew massively over the past 3 years. This growth was supposed to be emergency funding only during COVID. During this time, govt grew 40% or by $2 trillion from 2019 to 2023. We went from spending just over $4T to spending just over $6T.
This deal keeps that record high spending intact and makes it the baseline for all spending.
Wild.
The bill doesn’t actually set a debt limit. Rather it suspends the debt limit entirely until Jan. 2, 2025 and there is no actual amount capping the debt ceiling.
Some say there will be a $2T deficit in 6 years, but that CBO guesstimate relies on spending caps that do not exist and are not binding in any way in this deal.
And only in DC is a bill clawing back small amounts of unspent COVID funds considered a cut.
They tell us this bill cuts $41b in its first year; about the same amount as the unspent COVID funds. Pretty convenient. Also not a cut.
And on that note, do we really think the states will send back unspent COVID funds or will they find a way to use the money so they don’t have to send it back?
Pay-as-you-go has some fine print under Section 265 everyone should read. The OMB director has sole waiver authority to spend if it’s “necessary for program delivery.” So that one line wipes out PAYGO.
These words on paper are totally meaningless if you read the fine print.
A $1.4b cut to the IRS doesn’t equal $80b in cuts to the IRS. Nor does it mean we are “gutting” the IRS or its 87k new hires.
Allegedly there will be $10b cut off top for 2024 during the approps process. But it’s also not in bill. That money can be cut anywhere the IRS decides.
Work requirements for SNAP moved from age 50 to 54 and student loan forgiveness EO repeal never happened. Not sure why anyone even bothered here.
Manchin’s carve out for his pipeline is not germane to the bill. This is just your run of the mill govt picking winners and losers in the market and business as usual in Washington. 🙃
A continuing resolution at 99% in Section 102 only applies to discretionary and provides ample time for an omnibus should all else fail.
While we like the intent here, it’s like a Penny Plan for discretionary, but once again, bc of how it’s written, it’s meaningless.
Fully funds every spending request by the Administration (pretty much).
And just a friendly reminder, debt ceilings are about future outlays, about future spending, and how it will be financed. It’s not about past spending or past obligations from one Administration to another.
Let that sink in.
63% of Americans want Congress to cut spending as part of a debt ceiling deal. This bill doesn’t do that.
Unacceptable.
Washington is, was and always will be lousy at responsibly spending your tax dollars.
That won’t change unless we demand change.

That would imply that they were really opposed to it, they weren't.
That’s right.
Except for a very few they are all on the same team.
Bannon just said that voting will begin late this afternoon.
Bishop just said that anyone voting for this bill needs to be primaried.
We are being sold down the river folks!
“Who is Aunt Sable? I recall you had a couple White Angora cats (was it?) I recall one passed away but last I recall about the other was that it was blind but I don’t recall if you still have it or not.”
You have a good memory. Yes we did have the three silver persians, and Roy passed away last year. Actually year before last, 2 years in august. Cashmere passed away several years before. And my cotton, the blind one, just passed away right before I got these kittens. I kind of saw it as her turning over her spot upstairs to a new batch,
Luckily they all get to travel together, even with mom. Then after that I have no control over what the shelter does. Luckily I think each kitten is confident enough to be alone. Last batch I had two that I thought were pretty scared and shy. I don’t know how the shelter did it but they do a personality test on these cats. Scared cats all at the same so I don’t know how they figured it out, but they bonded the Two Kitties together.
McCarthy chooses the ones who get to say “No”, knowing it will pass anyway.

“TPTB have to create chaos and mayhem to implement their Plan to clamp down on us.”
I don’t think the plandemic worked as well as they hoped. It did for a time but then people got tired of it and quit taking the boosters.
Whenever I go to a medical facility, either here in Tennessee or over in North carolina, they still have the signs up to wear masks. But nobody does, not even the staff. They haven’t for a long long time.
So like you said they need to unleash the next thing. I think food shortages will be coupled with something more.
They’re trying to trick us into boycotting oil

Sadly, Chick-fil-A is embracing DEI and ESG after being co-opted by race & trans activists who have made it impossible for the organization to reflect the Christian values of its founder.

There have been reports of China hacking into and going after our infrastructure.
How convenient for this Regime who can do what they want and blame it on China.
WWIII incoming.

When your teenager keeps hitting the credit limit on their credit card, you don’t keep increasing the limit.
You cut up the card.
We also shouldn’t be giving credit cards to teenagers to begin with.

1/2 The Limit, Save, Grow Act was a fiscally responsible and conservative bill. This Biden-McCarthy Debt bill is NOT what we signed.
I oppose the new deal and refuse to saddle Americans with $4T in additional debt.
2/2 It sets the record high emergency spending as baseline, eliminates debt ceiling through 2025, clawbacks are weak. $1.3B of $80B for IRS under IRA and Biden’s EO for student debt is still in the deal.
Encourage your Rep to vote NO if you care about Americans financial future
