Massie does not oppose the use of baseline budgeting, either.

Massie has a point, but - and it’s a big ‘but’ - what he’s asking for would never get through the Senate, and would certainly not pass muster as an actual budget where 60 votes are needed.

You have to obtain what’s possible within the constraints that exist. And thanks to voter fraud in many states, there is no supermajority in either chamber so what is possible is a lot less than ideal.

I trust President Trump over lying thriving politicians especially grandstanding, deep state controlled, rinos.

Everything depends on one factor:GROWTH

If the GDP grows at 4% or more, and if we use the increased revenue wisely (to reduce the debt), we may survive.

If not, and the debt grows exponentially, we are doomed.

I believe Pres Trump understands this.

But does Congress?

Massie’s a self-aggrandizing asshat. Period.

Massie is an idiot. Politics is the art of the possible and Massie would rather lose 3/4 of the pie instead of getting thee whole pie. He is sn obstructive idiot.

We will hit the iceberg, but dead-on, not at some unlucky angle. Nothing Massie or Trump can do to stop it. The DOGE “cuts” were entertaining at the time, but their inevitable rejection by our corruptocrats are confirmation that the iceberg remains dead ahead. Prepare yourselves and your family for what is coming.

Alas, to politicians, being able to spend your money is what keeps them in power. The ability to create bogus NGOs and funnel yourtax dollars into their pocket through the backdoor is why they seek these jobs. Do your homework. Look at the net wealth position of freshmen legislators and then look at them "one term" later. Most have at least tripled their wealth to become multi-millionaires on a salary of less than $175,000. DC stinks.

Is the iceberg going to obliterate the Deep State and drain the Swamp?

Full freaking speed ahead...

"We're setting course for the Iceberg!"

That's exactly where we were headed until Trump seized the helm and changed course.

Oh the irony! Fifteen years of Omnibus spending bills and now he suddenly develops a contextual epiphany of his own decade long handiwork? Congress has not produced a regular order budget where each agency has to account for last year's spending and line by line, submit a new budget before congress.

The problem is that no agency is even capable of accounting for what they spent the last years funding on? At least without going to federal prison......So instead, our country just runs a "Last year plus twenty" series of funding mechanisms.

And we certainly don’t need a congress if they haven’t produced the primary work product from the body for 15 years. This was their primary responsibility, abandoned for 15 years.

The only solution is fewer moochers and more workers.

Employers of illegals could be required to provide them and their families health insurance and otherwise uncovered health care costs, permitting the illegals to be kicked off of Medicaid.

If Pancho Villa walked around San Diego, he’d be pleased at the Reconquista.

We are spending $1 trillion a year on defense after the Reconquista?
