Their kids & grandkids will be wealthy. 95% of others will be in poverty.

Why are you lying? R’s lost control of Congress after the shutdowns during the Clinton years. R’s lost seats in the elections after the big shutdown. Newt had to give up the gavel after a short time (4 years). How long did Nancy hold the gavel?

The D’s took control of the House in the 2018 elections (after two shutdowns that year).

The R’s gained seats in 2020, but D’s remained majority.

The R majority is razor thin now.

What to expect from a party with no convictions or principles.

Yes he made mistakes, but remember he did not have control of congress during his presidency. He was blocked from much of his agenda by BOTH sides.

By the way, you should start watching Dr. Steve Turley on YouTube. He explains (with facts and figures) how a new world is rising and replacing the old. Europe is making a hard right turn, and so is America.

Though I don’t agree with his stances always (particularly his celebration of Putinism (who is a murderous despot and not a freedom fighter), I really enjoy his data. You’ll feel better if you listen to him.

The world is changing, Democrats or no.

And what will 45 days get us?

I predict more of the same BS. It's just to get it out of the headlines for now.

Self-correcting myself.

The R’s didn’t lose the House until 2006, but Newt was forced out in 1999.

Do you think those in Congress know how much a billion is? A trillion?

A trillion seconds is 31,688.7385068 Gregorian years.

Now let’s talk money. A trillion dollar bills stacked on top of each other would be a stack 68,350.8311461 miles high based on 0.11mm thickness of a dollar bill.

The United States debt is a stack 2,258,789.91689 miles high (based on 33.047 trillion, 9/21/2023) and getting higher every second.

The distance to the moon is only about 238,855 miles.

The previous bill that Gaetz, etc., voted against, was actually pretty good, especially from the standpoint of spending cuts. Levin discussed this yesterday...

Ukraine aid passed separately, no?
