That's rich....
Considering the amount of pork in the BBL they crafted which only appears to cut taxes....it actually increases taxes and spends more money.

You must not work OT or live on tips.

If it passes the gop will have the rank and file union voter for 200 years. Same with the young wait staff of today (lots of college students) who move up in the world.

True, but the math has to work. Cut more spending and add the millionaire tax, as Trump said.

Meh, I can live with the "math" if the working man is benefited. Nobody cared about "the math" when the dems were sending all those billions to NGOs and back into DNC coffers.

No taxes on OT is a big fuckin' deal.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Good.

Lets cut the entire federal budget by 50 cents on the dollar across the board.

Budget/2=New Budget

It is simple math even for a dumb **** lefty.

Agreed. But those tax cuts are worthless if the dollar collapses.

 

[Darkwind]

It is a simple formula.

Cut spending and take the difference and put it to the debt.

Do NOT cut taxes UNTIL we are debt-free.

Either you want this country to succeed, which means you'll live with the current tax rate and severely reduced spending. or you're just a selfish asshole who wants their taxes cut at the expense of the country.

When we have zero debt, or debt that can be paid off in a single years tax receipts.....

THEN cut taxes. In fact, do away with them completely lest we start another ******* revolutionary war.

I, for one, am not that concerned about the Debt. We owe it mostly to ourselves and partly to China. OMB is working on the China end right now and the bulk of it, which is owed to Americans........ It's like borrowing money from your wife

Nope.
As soon as our credit rating collapses we can no longer borrow money, the dollar becomes worthless, welcome to Venezuela.

How did Trump like having his Big Beautiful Bill shoved back up in your mind's eye, his "Big Beautiful Ass"?

And OT wages should be MANDATORILY raised to at least 2x instead of 1.5x. Stick it to employers.

This is all on Johnson-less.

He could have kept the GOP caucus in town and at work trough all the "vacations" that they have had since 20 Jan.

He is the most gutless, worthless, and weak Speaker in Murican history.

Johnson knows how DC works. Nothing happens until time is up.
Time is not up until the government runs out of money and shuts down.

Shit boomers say.

He knows how it works...Run out the clock until the 11 15/16th hour, then jam through an "emergency" bill with a fuckton of crap that wouldn't pass muster with any scrutiny.

Johnson-less is Ryan with a Bible verse on his lips.

LOL. It would be funny, except Moody's just downgraded US debt from AAA to AA1.

Moody's was the last rating agency to have US debt at AAA.

That should trigger the DC coxuckers to cut spending and raise revenue before US debt gets downgraded again.

The United States just lost its last perfect credit rating​

The congressweasels don't care....If they did, something would have been done about it $37 trillion ago.
