“Great minds think alike” and all that

The original post caught my eye afterwards. It’s a pain when it happens

Original thread has 100+ replies. Freepers have their fingers on the pulse as always!

As for Ron Johnson I posted it because at least Rand is not alone on this.

The big ugly bill has a lot more problems than just fiscal issues!

Drafting a huge bill and asking Congress to pass it without being able to read it is reminiscent of what Democrats used to do.

Senators—do your duty! Defeat the bill!

Agree. What was the point of having DOGE if their discoveries were not to lead to substantial cuts?

the BBB is another boondoggle for DC. Sorry but Trump is not making good on his promise to cut spending, which was one of his top issues.

Maybe the senators might agree to raise the national debt limit by say $300 billion upfront and $200 billion a month thereafter.

“There goes the Trump tax extension and tax cuts.”

The tax cuts pretty much need to die for a year.

There will only be massive support for spending cuts after taxes go up.

No, he ain’t the only miscreant self serving POS rino there. Guess they don’t want to know what the majority of voters want. Or care. Perfect? Not a chance. But, what is in d.c.?

Same backstabbing that we saw in 2017 and by the same faction.

You left out 100% deletion of all ‘welfare’ spending. We’re broke. No snap, no afdc, nothing like that. Not a penny. That would save a TON of spending.

Trump will outlaw CRs.

Watch them evolve from the slime, in real time.

Now is the time to start vetting viable primary candidates. Find a couple and start them campaigning for each one of these RONOs.

When have those 2 been RINOs?

They oppose it because it doesn’t cut enough

That’s a different angle.

The RINOs are on the opposite side. The REAL ones...
