Thune is throwing a wrench in President Trump's agenda. Please let me know what justifies derailing MAGA? Thune is RINO.

Doing the McConnell game.

I hate RINOS. Thune needs to go in 28.

Had to be. It was a reconciliation bill. Not a budget bill. Budget bills kick in the stupid 60 vote cloture rule which isn’t on the Constitution.

And the ridiculous CBO, which should go away, counts those tax credits as deficit spending.

They can’t disrupt if they aren’t in session. Thune is a puke like McConnell. They were f buddies practically.

Yes he does. He wants his people even if it is only 2 years. His picks get things done.

There hasn’t been a “budget bill” since 1996...pass a real balanced budget. “Make the BBB great again”. If a “refundable tax credit” (like “EITC”) then yes it adds to the budget deficit...”something for nothing”/welfare. If a tax credit against taxes paid then not so much.

Maybe because they are compromised and want to continue their various grifts on the US Taxpayers? Just maybe.

It’s the latter.

And yes, they need to get back to regular budgets.
