As I watch the DOGE thing play out Congress seems pretty constipated by comparison in initiating any meaningful cuts in spending.

I guess because those swamp creatures feed off all this spending with kickbacks including campaign donations.

Be assured investor constituents who have money riding on those projects are burning up the phone lines to their reps, R and D alike, to keep them going.

The dirty little secret is that Republican states and House districts are filled with businesses and people who would be broke without massive government subsidies.

No more money for the RATs’ fictional “climate change crisis”. We should start today on “End the EV Scam and Con Day” today.

Does this mean they’re going install some charging stations out here on the farm, so I can charge the new EV combine and tractor I’m thinking of buying?

Both the Democrats and Republicans learned a long time ago that if they could get large payout program operational for 3-6 years, so many companies and people would become dependent upon it that political and economic pressure would ensure that that program becomes a perpetual, institutionalized part of doing business and daily life that cannot be eliminated or cut .

Obama used this to strategy to institutionalize ObamaCare.

Trump needs to put his foot down during the budget negotiations. "This is what I want, and this is what I want to spend." Congress agrees to a budget along those lines, or the government shuts down and our ability to borrow again is ruined.

Before anyone gives me any sob stories of the damage that would cause, I don't care. I'm tired of this.

It’s all one party, you’d think everyone would get that by now.

The Republicans are Grand Masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yet a group of 21 House Republicans, likely backed by others unwilling to go on record, now oppose rolling back these subsidies.

**************

Not unexpected. Lots of GOP Swampers love the big spending.

They should’ve named them. In the meantime, it behooves all of us to keep a steady stream of emails & calls going to our senators & congressmen, letting them know we like DOGE & want spending cut. Permanently. Particularly for so-called green subsidies.

Snatching defeat is the only thing you can count on them to consistently do.

That’s what happens when you have no core beliefs or principles that you’re willing to fight for.

Oh they have core beliefs and principles alright, just not what you wish they were. See “Uniparty”. R or D, makes no difference.

In a perfect world we would be giving out zero subsidies to anyone anywhere. It’s corrupt pocket money for political buddies.
