Last time I tried reading through a bill was the health care bill Obama tried running through. That was over 1,000 pages. It was dumped and famous Pelosi’s words with a 2,000 page bill was run through in hours...”You need to vote on the bill before you read it.”

After that I just hung my head and prayed America doesn’t burn too fast.

How about for the next year. Anything beyond that are as valuable as Wimpy's IOUs for his hamburger purchases today.

Now the Senate says no, the media starts saying Republicans are trying to destroy the credit of the United States, a few weeks pass and the Repukes cave and pass whatever the Senate can agree on. If you read this message I just saved you weeks of time. Go fishing, spend some time with the family.

“...defying President Joe Biden by attaching sweeping spending cuts for the next decade.

Get ready for the veto followed by a whole library of executive orders.

The dems will never cut spending, just like they did to Reagan when they promised spending cuts
The woman and the snake
“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said that reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in”
Al Wilson

Only a Democrat would call a decrease of an increase a “cut” in spending.

It is not actual spending cuts, but decreases in the automatic increases, from what I can see.

What veto? It would only get that far if the Dims in the Senate want the drama.

And they didn’t do a damn thing about the 87,000 IRS agents either, did they?

Same old stuff. Why do so many still believe the Republicans will save our republic?

It’s fake drama.... over and over.
