Senate Buys Lisa Murkowski's Vote

[TimFitz]

Voting no would of been giving the demafasict their tax increase

She did the right thing by ensuring their tax hike was killed

It was hard not to miss the fact that the right wing noise machine suddenly stopped talking about debt and deficits again.

There is only the expiration of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, which were 100% paid for with borrowed money.

Extending them will also be paid for by running up the deficit and more borrowing.

Government efficiency was nothing more than a combination of a gimmick to fool the Trumpsters with, and a cover for their hobby horse and lobby soaked tropes.

The bill deprives millions of access to affordable health care, awards Detroit and big oil by removing enforcement from the CAFE standards, and includes a big wet kiss for the private prison industry.

Borrowed? They increased tax revenue

Spending cost money and is borrowed. The new budget makes cuts but we need massive entitlement reform, medicare and Medicaid are the largest drivers of debt and until anyone gets serious about that we won’t see any meaningful change

 

[hadit]

Why didn't the democrats end Those huge tax cut for the extremely wealthy when they had the power?

Because they really can't function if there is a Republican anywhere in the vicinity that might look at them sideways.

‘In the most predictable series of events, GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said that she feels duped by President Donald Trump for not sticking to the agreement they made in exchange for her cowardly vote for the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act."

“I feel cheated. I feel like we made a deal and then hours later, a deal was made to somebody else,” she told the Alaska Daily News.

Murkowski was referencing the Senate's changes to the House version of the bill, which protected tax credits for wind and solar projects for 12 months as opposed to their immediate cancellation.

But just 6 days after the Senate passed the bill—thanks to Murkowski's vote—Trump issued an executive order declaring that, within 45 days, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could begin terminating wind and solar tax credits and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum could create new regulations on clean energy projects.’

Is wind and solar big in Alaska? Huh

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Murkowski is a clown.

 

[JLW]

Murkowski and Collins are both Republicans and will always vote with Republicans/MAGA when push comes to shove if their votes are needed. They should dispense with the drama and handwringing whenever some controversial vote comes up. It is a tiresome act.

Murkowski knew damn well what she was voting for,

 

[1srelluc]

LOL....Maybe he will cut AK last.

Hell, AK and HI should not even be states.

Golly, you just can't trust political turncoats these days!

Once again the "Kos" has it backword and upside down. If anything, the pretend republican fell for the big lie about Biden's mental health or lack of it. Murkowski was always on the side of the TDS insanity.

Alaska could certainly do better

Power and privilege. Her own.

 

[cnm]

She's no McCain, that's fer shure...

 

[cnm]

The only way she stays in office is through ranked choice voting and AK dems voting for her.

AK and HI should have never been made states, both are weird.

Ranked choice voting is the devil.

That 'no taxation without representation' thing is for the birds...

 

[TimFitz]

This your first day in America?

Ho Li Fuk!

These people have been bribing each other for over 250 years.

Influence peddling and back room deals were an outrage when you were accusing the other guy doing it.

Now Trump collects bribes in the open and you cheer.

 

[TimFitz]

How is cutting medicare and medicaid increasing cost?

additionally, not raising taxes, doesn't increase revenue. It kills economic development, growth, and destroys tax revenue.

You are a deadbeat for wanting others to pay more, while you are not.

Stilll peddling the trickle down fraud.

After all, fifty years on. It has never worked in real life.

But it did make the rich, a lot richer.

 

[22lcidw]

Nice spin!.

Trump's multi-trillion deficit-building tax cuts for the rich (himself) were expiring. This Budget Busting Bill continues those tax cuts which should have been allowed to expire so we would not have another $3.3 trillion added to our debt in this piece o' shit.

You cultists once again prove you only care about deficits when a Democrat occupies the White House.

Not even taking health insurance away from 11 million people will cover the cost of Trump's self-dealing tax cut.

You can stop this if your party at the federal level would enact massive tax cuts for the lower classes. There is more than the federal income tax and social security taxes. You won't.

‘In order to win Murkowski’s support, Republicans had added several provisions that would sweeten the deal for her state. But at the very last second, the Senate parliamentarian struck a carve-out that would’ve expanded federal funding for Medicaid in Alaska.

All 47 Democrats voted against the bill, and they were joined by Senators Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins. Had Murkowski also voted “no,” the bill would have been defeated.

Murkowski told reporters that she hoped the House would send the bill back to the Senate so they could continue working on it. “My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet,” Murkowski said, revealing just how misguided her support actually was.’

Senate Passes Trump Budget After Buying Lisa Murkowski’s Vote

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski’s last-minute “yes” vote proved pivotal for forcing Donald Trump’s budget through.

newrepublic.com

Voting for Trump was supposed to be the end of ‘business as usual politics,’ an end to career politicians making backroom deals, buying their votes in order to pass bad legislation.

Progressives and globalist have infected many areas of the nation. Alaska is one of them as Murkowski would be a Prog Socialist Communist politician in one of their areas. She has to follow Republican agendas to degree or no matter how the Alaskan rules let her cheat, she would not be elected. A regional political power family. And there are political power families throughout the nation.
