Re: 242 - Like it or not, if you believe Levin (I do), Gaetz scuttled an attempt to send over a bill to the Senate that had substantial cuts to several agencies, prohibitions on drag queen shows on .mil property, etc. etc.

If you don’t think there’s a price to be paid for challenging the Speaker, well, okay. Gaetz has one change to strike at McCarthy. If he fails, he’s going to pay the price.

I believe it was an 8% reduction. Which is why I asked how much the baseline has gone up over the last two years.

I believe the baseline has gone up a lot.

And now we are locking in those large baseline increases in perpetuity (minus a puny 8% decrease).

Add to all that, interest rates are going up, we now have a 33 trillion dollar national debt, and the interest payments on the debt alone, will be crippling.
