This may well be the end of the dollar. If you’re not prepping, it’s time to start.

That’s the Truth.

The GOP calculated how they could push this through and still claim they opposed it.

If Sinema holds ... Yes, true.

Manchin got a Billion for his support. I don’t have a lot of confidence in holdouts in DC.

They probably won’t need it because Sinema will back down, but there are plenty of Assistant Democrats that would step up.

According to the article, they used the budget reconciliation process and it does not have to go back to the Senate.

The Pelosi Crime Family and the Biden Crime Family join with the Soros Crime Family and the Clinton Crime Family to thank the Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate for providing more money for them to steal.

I did that today. I need to buy a small freezer. I live in an apartment but I could keep it in my son’s garage and we could share. I’ve got lots of coffee. I don’t normally eat a lot of canned food, but I have some stocked in case.

“My understanding was Sinema was a no...”

Both Sinema and Joe Manchin. Joe has apparently gotten this idea he’s from West Virginia and not a Marxist.

Reference: Sinema

The nine holdouts in the house were told the DNC had ordered Ads in their States, calling them out by name, Individually crafted, saying, Rep. John Doe, stop obstructing Joe Biden’s agenda for the country! The Ads were scheduled to start this week and now have been cancelled.

Nancy Pelosi isn’t doing this for her Health. This money is going to create many fortunes. They fully expect Sinema to fold.

Since its now considered budget reconciliation, my understanding is we have to rely on all Rs voting no and two Democrats voting no.

Hard to believe a 3 cent postage stamp in 1956 now costs 55 cents.

Or that 8 gallons of gas for a dollar in 1940 now costs 28 dollars for that same 8 gallons.

That a kid .

Biden is despised .

That fact would help them ..

They were bought off and will be wiped out just like all the Dems that were wiped out in the Obama midterms .

They got real cash .

When do we stop this insanity?

Unfortunately, socialism/communism will be popular as long as people believe they can get something for nothing.
