Did whats his face with the broken hip show up to vote ?

[Rio]

51/50 is appropriate.

[voicereason]

But the cranks will continue their mantra “there’s not a dime’s difference between the parties”.

Do you really think that all 50 Republicans opposed the Bill? Seriously?

If you don’t think that votes were counted and deals already struck, than you are the fool.

A GOP led House could defund many of Biden’s tax and spend grabs, IF they have the political will to do so.

Newt Gingrich had the power and a massive public mandate to do this in 1995. But after the lobbyists went into overdrive, very little changed.

I think we would need about 250 Boeberts, Greenes, and Gosars to make any real cuts happen.

Get ready for hyperinflation. The US is about to become the Weimar Republic of post WW1 Germany.

"Bro, it's LITERALLY called the Inflation Reduction Act!"

[nbenyo]

Manchin and Sinema were the only votes counted. That’s why the bill was passed as “reconciliation”.

[M Kehoe]

A prayer.

Lord help us survive the Biden administration.

In Jesus name, amen.

...and I am still waiting for my refund.

Would be nice. They'll probably get more armed agents. Tactical gear.

[Gritty]

...and I am still waiting for my refund.

Me too. When I checked the IRS site this past week they said expect at least a 6 month delay.

They are hiring 80,000 more IRS drones under the new "anti-inflation" Bill just passed. I suspect the wait times for refunds will only increase. This was not done for "efficiency".

[MortMan]

BUYING the donuts isn’t the problem!

[mware]

Yep, I suspect they will go through my filing with a fine tooth comb. BTW do you have the site to check up on returns?

[mware]

Wonder if they will give us the interest we should be getting?

Fixed it by reversing.

1984 was only 38 years ago

Lord help us survive the Biden administration.

8414 future Hoosiers never got the chance to survive last year.

Hell; they never got the chance to VIVE in the first place.

Ha! True.

[matt04]

Whatever they say it will do, expect the opposite.

[Gritty]

I went to the main IRS website and dug from there.
