House Republicans' mammoth budget resolution survived its final hurdle late Monday night before heading for a chamber-wide vote.

The legislation passed the House Rules Committee on a party-line vote in a measure combining several bills that are expected to get a full House vote this week.

House GOP leaders aim to have it pass on Tuesday evening, Fox News Digital was told, but various concerns about spending cut levels could put that goal out of reach. Under the current margins, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can only lose one Republican vote to pass a bill without Democrats. (Excerpt)

I really don’t want to hear about tax cuts. I want to hear about the elimination of the federal income tax, the IRS, and anyone associated with them. Fair Tax is coming.

All Johnson has to do is make a bill with FOUR of the following:
1. Extend Trump’s tax cuts permanently
2. No tax on tips
3. No tax on social security
4. Child tax credit in between 5-6 grand
See that simple..there is NO need for any border funding right now, the border is beyond secure, no one is even bothering to cross anymore..so just do the above things and the extra goodies can come later in a different bill

This is the consequence of doing nothing while the rats stole 15-20 House seats.

I’d like to hear that our tax dollars are no longer going to fund the Zelensky Money Laundering Operation.

It is not even as much as it would be if the original credit were indexed for inflation.
