How about the billions of billions shipped to the Ukraine. Are you cool with that?
No, a bunch of Fortune 100 companies along with pension fund managers basically commanded Biden and McCarthy to do what they are going to do in the end. Everything before that was described up stream by a poster, Kabuki Theater.
You cannot be serious, I am looking for some heart break music for you, but this one will be tough to assuage

One thing is for certain, McCarthy really, really thinks the Public is dumb.
A Carnival Barker would’ve blushed selling this crap.
Yep, we would have to cut all non-entitlement spending (yes, it is an entitlement, its not your money per ( Nestor v. Fleming ), including defense and we might balance the budget for FY 2023, 2.3T is needed for SSI, Medicare, and Medicaid, which is over 50% of the budget, not including the other 2.8T of accounting slight of hand instruments dishonestly nicknamed the "Social Security Lockbox".
So until these entitlements are privatized, there is no way out of this mess.
All FReepers need to know the following:
1) McCarthy was endorsed by Trump, who has been silent since the framework of the agreement was announced.
2) DeSantis came out immediately and condemned the agreement
Your primary vote is important.
Do we support conservatives like DeSantis or Trump-endorsed RINOs like McCarthy?
DeSantis is strongly opposed and, to date and as far as I know, Trump has been pretty quiet about it. (He supported McCarthy)
Newt Gingrich said on Hannity radio this afternoon that the bill should be considered only a first step and that passing the bill will leave Republicans in a “stronger” position.
I respect Newt but my stance continues to be let’s keep going toward default. A financial guy I know says the default scare is just politics. Too little is said about what will happen when we cross the line into default.
Kevin McBoehner. I knew it.
McCarthy, Idiot in charge. Resign Kevin. We need a strong leader, you are a leader that makes Paul Ryan look like a statesman! 🤓
“You cannot be serious, I am looking for some heart break music for you, but this one will be tough to assuage”.
I realize that not everyone has a representative such as the one I’m luckily enough to have represent my district. However, he gives out his personal phone number and will answer when you call. He listens to his voters. He is a business-owner and a long-timed member of the rural communities he represents and has been vocal about our nation’s debt for years. That’s why he was recruited into running for the seat.
I’m sure a lot, and even most, representatives ignore the phone calls and emails of their voters, but occasionally you find one that has not (yet) been corrupted.
People thought that the Freedom Caucus would have no chance of forcing concessions from McCarthy to be elected speaker. The Freedom Caucus fooled them and actually pulled McCarthy further right for the first five months of the year. They do actually hold some sway as to whether this bill will pass.
Eric, I know you are on your knees every day praying to you RINO god.
Can you tell us what salvation looks like under you RINO visions
‘This ‘deal’ normalizes record high spending started during the pandemic. It sets these historically high spending levels as the baseline for all future spending,’ Mace sounded off on Twitter.
We’re gonna crash horribly, really really horribly. These people are crazy.
Read what I F’n wrote. Dem speak my azz. Every damn government social system needs to go including SS. I said specifically PHASE IT OUT... What don’t you understand? I paid in for 50+ years myself and I collecting it... Again PHASE IT OUT.
Never said a damn thing about funding Ukraine so making shxt up is the liberal way. I could care less about Ukraine or any other damn country except America.
Pathetic.
“Republicans got outsmarted by a President who can’t find his pants”
Just what I was saying yesterday, HOW the hell can you not deal with a guy who has dementia? All you have to say is “Get rid of those 87,000 IRS agents or you get no ice cream”
My memory is that a motion to vacate the chair (remove the Speaker) is a preferred one that grinds everything to a standstill until a Speaker is elected. It is a priority and everything else is frozen and can’t be done. I hope he (Bishop) does it before the vote on the cave in bill.

Some commentator on Sky News (Australia) noted that the leader of the free world is a bloke who couldn’t find his way home after dark.
Worse, I might add, is that bloke is surrounded by murderous fools and bankrupt frauds who treat him as if he was conscious.
Good luck on that. Any politician (outside of a solid red “safe” district) who touches welfare medicare or social security is toast in this political climate.
McCarthy had not business negotiating this agreement. It way beyond his intellect.
Exactly. That’s why Nancy Mace can shoot her mouth off criticizing this deal. She knows who’s going to support it and who’s not. She knows this disaster is going to pass. She does this to show the voters that she’s a fiscal conservative come re-election time.
Kabuki Theater indeed.
