If they are just printing up the money, why is there any income tax at all?No big deal. All they need to do is pass another tax cut for the billionaires and the money will come flowing in.

...so your vote doesn't matter. Why post here? Your opinion is irrelevant.This is a big reason why I can't support the GOP. That party consists of weaklings that constantly cave in to the opposition at the detriment of the American people. Our two party system has become a farce and it is way past time to change it. This is a big reason that I usually vote for 3rd party candidates.
What disappointment would that be? I know what you think. A Trump victory and an all Republican Congress.You’re in for a lot of disappointment in Jan 25
Voting either Republican or Democrat doesn't help the American people. Too many career politicians taking special interest money to line their pockets. Keep voting this way and continue to watch our country slide into the abyss....so your vote doesn't matter. Why post here? Your opinion is irrelevant.
If you vote (R) your vote hasn't mattered, and your opinion has been irrelevant, for your entire life....so your vote doesn't matter. Why post here? Your opinion is irrelevant.
1. What "cover" does the Budget give Matt Gates?Yep, however, there are some other issues that need to be addressed before that can happen.
The first and biggest....are taxes. Then we can talk about spending. Of course you'll have to see two wars ended first before that can happen.
So you should be pushing for TERM LIMITScareer politicians

My vote matters. I'm in a Republican area.If you vote (R) your vote hasn't mattered, and your opinion has been irrelevant, for your entire life.
Translation: there is THEM and US. They get rich, live large right now no matter what. They now arrest, bankrupt and torture those not willing to let them continue on.This is a big reason why I can't support the GOP.

That's the House vote......Try to keep up.
As far as DEI.....Cut a head off the leftist dem Hydra and another grows in it's place.
It matters so much that your "republicans" just proved that they are indistinguishable from the "democrats" that they allegedly oppose.My vote matters. I'm in a Republican area.
The usual suspects.Ahso, it was a given to pass the Senate, but here's the roll call...

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted 74-24 early Saturday morning to pass a sweeping $1.2 trillion government funding bill after heated last-minute negotiations caused senators to breach the midnight deadline to avert a shutdown.
But the funding lapse was brief and technical, having no meaningful impact as the White House said it has "ceased shutdown preparations" due to a Senate agreement, which came after Republicans demanded votes on a series of amendments.
The legislation, which passed the House on Friday morning by a vote of 268-134, now goes to President Joe Biden, who has said he'll sign it into law. It completes a turbulent government funding process during the divided government, featuring a year of haggling, six months of stopgap bills and intense partisan clashes over money and policy along the way.
Once Biden signs the package into law, the full government will be funded through the end of September, after Congress passed a previous $459 billion tranche of money earlier this month. The total spending level for the fiscal year is $1.659 trillion.
Passed in the dead of night as usual....The Firm wins again....America loses.
I can't find a for or against list yet but you can bet it's the usual gop pukes that voted for it.
1. There are always RINOs and guys "owned" by their donors.It matters so much that your "republicans" just proved that they are indistinguishable from the "democrats" that they allegedly oppose.
They just showed that your vote is 100% worthless, and your opinion is irrelevant.
Agreed. And no one with 1/2 a brain is willing to risk a try for any office for themselves (all around them) to be destoyed by MSM, bankrupted and jailed. Quite the setup they have going. Trump was the last best only hope then the launched a virus and rigged 2020. No one will rock the boat again.I'm sure that after this vote many of the politicians of both parties will toast each other at a cocktail party.
They're not idiots...They're now straight-up stealing with both hands.View attachment 921245
That is only a little over 100 days of Potatohead's debt. Very stupid to fund the government with borrowed money instead of cutting back on spending.
Idiots in Congress of both parties. Anybody that voted for a Democrat or RINO is a moron.
The 17th Amendment was a big screw up. The Senate should be appointed by the States to look after the State's rights, not be an extension of the House of Representatives.
If you mean the near entirety of the GOP, yes.1. There are always RINOs and guys "owned" by their donors.
When the dollar collapses you'll see how responsible BOTH parties were. (neither cut spending)
There's zero evidence to support that claim....In fact there's scads of evidence to the contrary, in the years 2000-06.2. My vote kept democrats from controlling the House and spending even more, duh.
There you have it.3. Everyone's opinion is irrelevant, duh.
The moderates who voted for the bill give MTG, Roy, Gaetz and their ilk the cover to bluster on the steps of the Capitol. The moderates take the bullet so the fringe can complain and move for the Speaker's removal.1. What "cover" does the Budget give Matt Gates?
2. What about taxes? IMHO we need more revenue. Here are my new revenue options:
- Close tax loop-holes +$1.5T
Fix SS net zero (raise cap & ages 1-year)
Fix Medicare net zero (raise tax & co-pay)
Send Medicaid to the states +$500b- Add new 0.2% transaction tax +$150b
- Add new remittance tax +$6b
- Remove Capital Gains Tax loop-hole +$100b/yr
Send Welfare to the states +$1.3T
Send Education to the states +$300b
Eliminate all personal tax deductions +??????? (keep business deductions)
Collect all taxes owed +$400b- https://www.crfb.org/blogs/irs-loses-400-billion-year-unpaid-taxes

The United States Loses $150 Billion Annually in Remittances
Many Americans know very little, if anything, about “remittances,” (also known as “remittance payments”) and how they affect the U.S. economy. The term “remittance” refers to money earned in the United States that is transferred to relatives, friends or business associates who are still abroad...www.fairus.org
