I hate to say it, but DOGE was just another flash in the pan. It’s dead and no lasting reform will come out of it. Has everybody noticed all the hysteria about DOGE and Musk quickly disappeared?

I was really hopeful that this time it would be different. But, no, we are still watching the same old slow motion 500 car pile up on the interstate.

Republicans are self interested to the point of excluding all else.

Democrats are self interested, but the hive mind causes them to fall in line and push an agenda.

The way things are reflects what has been done in the past, and how it has evolved.

When Lyndon Johnson created Medicare, he thought he was solving a problem for a small set of voters, who would be grateful and support the Democrats. He never thought it would grow to $1.5 trillion a year in spending, and be relied on by 60 million people - nearly all of whom vote in every election.

Now what?

Maybe all of this was planned a very long time ago.
Maybe Trump is a small piece of all of this, like Obama and those before him.
Maybe like George Carlin said, “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
Maybe they care about your grandkid’s future as much as you do?
Maybe we’ll get this straight in 2032.

Washington Republicans might actually take off the gloves and say eff-it and take on the swamp

Not to keep posting the same thing over and over, BUT: Washington Republicans ARE the swamp.

What this bill doesn’t do is cut spending or cut the deficit.  Indeed, it puts the deficit on overdrive, just as interest rates on government debt seem to be heading upward. The president’s advisor Steven Miller (who is one of the smartest guys in Washington) pushes back, by pointing out that Reagan’s tax cuts weren’t balanced by spending cuts.  True, but then Reagan didn't have, if I remember correctly, a national debt 125% the size of the GDP that needed to be serviced.

The problem with that observation is that Reagan tax cuts ultimate DOUBLED revenue to the Treasury.

Trump's tax cuts ultimately resulted in an increase in revenue to the Treasury.

It's a lie to assume tax cuts result in less revenue.

That being said, yes, the spending in the legislation is way too high. But, given the small majority in the House, it's going to be difficult to get a majority to cut much more.

Medical costs have to be cut big time.

Hospitals should be split into two to make hospital care price competitive.

EMTALA should only be available by handing over a functional cellphone, SNAP card or paying $200.

Adult Medicaid should have premiums starting at $2/month and rising by $2/month and by $2 for each ER use. The Adult Medicaid monthly base premium amount might be capped at the Medicare premium amount.

The DOD budget needs a haircut.

No more new big surface ships.

No more new manned combat aircraft.

No more refundable tax credits!

The amounts that would get refunded could be used to pay off student loans, pay Medicaid premiums and co-pays, or pay PPACA premiums.

I don’t blame Trump. This abysmal betrayal of the American people was written in the halls of Congress…

I’m tired of hearing people blame Congress for Trump‘s BBB.

I say, TRUST TRUMP. Give Trump what he wants for now.

Wait and see what he does with it.

The country won’t end tomorrow even if what the naysayers say about it is true.

But the country WILL END tomorrow if Trump’s agenda is thwarted.

Trump has been in office just 135 days (under 20 weeks) (just over 4 months)

GIVE IT A CHANCE! There will be a new budget next year. Fight then!

Republican Congressman NEED to get reelected! We MUST hold onto the Congress and INCREASE our numbers. WHATEVER THAT TAKES!

The country is at stake. Literally.

I said before the election that our ONLY hope was a Trump win, a Republican House and a Republican Senate.

I did not have much hope. Then SHIZAMM! God delivered.

GIVE TRUMP WHAT HE WANTS (for now) and lets just see how far this baby can fly.

“I don’t blame Trump”

Of course not. Never do. Lord and savior. Perfect as always.
