Vivek says CR to fund government is full of pork and waste, great Tweet with his specific concerns

[ColonelAngus]

Why all this extra stuff in the continuing resolution?

When the biggest expense we have is interest on debt, why are we not cutting the budget?

I BLAME REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE.

The Fed needs to spend less. Now.

No shit Sherlock. I could have told you that blindfolded. It is what DC does.
I think Johnson's days are numbered too.

I'm gonna love Vivek. Go DOGE.

From the Tweet:

There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” policy; renewal of the much-criticized "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate.

Vivek is spot on with this. It will be fantastic for the future if the US for DOGE to reduce the billions in waste and fraud in the federal government.

This budget is more bloated than Michael Moore drinking Mexican water.

Our congressional Reps BUY VOTES with these little giveaways, so asking them to stop it is like asking a newborn to stop pooping in his pants.

If you really want to tackle wasteful and inappropriate spending, just figure out a way to force Congress to constrain itself to the "powers" stated in Article I, mainly Section 8. Most of Congress' discretionary spending is blatantly unConstitutional.

It was a leftist Court that first expanded the "interstate commerce" cause beyond any rational limits; perhaps the current court could get a case that would allow it to at least partially close Pandora's Box.

A continuing resolution (CR) usually says "We are going to fund the gov't the same way we are currently funding it for another X number of months".

So WTF is up with 1500 pages?

When the whole thing collapses because we cannot pay our debt, it will stop. But why do we have to wait for the thing to collapse like Greece?

Thanks so much for your contribution to the thread. Absolutely indispensable.

Why are you racist against Indians?

Congress is getting in it's one last FU to the American people before Trump comes on board.

I hope he comes in vengeful.

Vivek said he could replace the 1500 page CR with 20-pages

No. The Feds need to raise taxes to pay for their spending.

Make the rich pay their fair share. Problem solved.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I blame Republicans more than Democrats for the bloated budget.

Dems run on big government. Many Pubs run on smaller government…yet they do not deliver.

Trump should not have signed ANY BUDGETS during his he should’ve vetoed and made Congress override. That was a big misstep from Trump.

See, cult. I just bashed Trump.

You guys can’t be critical of your thought leaders because it is a cult.

I'm not. But I'm opposed to racist Indians who say Juneteenth is a useless holiday.

Spoken like the 12 year old you are.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Th cult just blindly wants to grow the budget, the deficit, and the debt.

They have no solutions for reducing the debt and the $1,000,000,000,000 we pay in interest annually.

It is only going to go up.

AGAIN, I BLAME EVERYONE IN CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENTS WHO SIGNED THESE BUDGETS.

How are we going to stop paying $1 trillion in interest annually other than having the dollar become worthless and stiffing our lenders?

What is their fair share? Got a number? What is "rich" to you?

 

[ColonelAngus]

What is their fair share? Got a number? What is "rich" to you?

I have been asking this SAME question since 2015.

The cult will not answer.

They cannot show their math. They simply parrot what their thought lords tell them to think and say.

THE RICH MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

DERP DERP DERP

It is meaningless.

We will eventually stiff our lenders.
The lenders will write it off.
We have Nukes.
