No democrat will vote for DOGE cuts so how do you get it through the legislature???? Are you and Tom Woods stupid??? You have to use strategies that don't require 60 votes. The plan is to use budget reconciliation and spending recissions. The house has agreed to the budget reconciliation framework, but they weren't able to finish the budget reconciliation bill and agreement with the Senate Republicans in time for the March 14th deadline, so that is the reason for this CR. The benefit of this CR is it removes earmarks so Trump has more authority for impoundment and spending recissions that can be submitted to congress and only need 51 votes in the Senate.So, the only way to make the DOGE cuts permanent is to do it through the legislature.

This is the best bill that can be completed at this time. Massie and Rand want more cuts, but as the song goes, you can't always get what you want. Does shutting down the government help Republicans and DOGE? NO, it helps the democrats make the case in the midterms and how exactly does Tom Woods, Massie, Rand expect to cut spending if Democrats regain the house??????? Fucking amateurs!
Spuds has the presidency, the house, and a majority in the Senate, and will have the Senate minority dictate spending levels. Idiotic.Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask that you pipe down.
Yep. A fairly predictable one at that.Isn’t this a rerun?
"next time never comes"
Exactly. In fact, Trump 47 is already our golden exception to that rule of politics... Trump's second term is beyond improbable... so this is our mulligan, and people are acting like the Trump-effect will last forever. No it absolutely won't. There is 40+% of this country that is either mortal enemies with Trump or can be strongly mobilized to oppose all things MAGA.
Here’s hoping he was chewing Double Bubble or Bazooka. They’re the ones all champion bubble blowers choose because they’re the strongest.Also the elephant in the room is that Trump is sitting on the biggest economic bubble in history and it could pop at any moment. Double digit unemployment and inflation will wipe out "The Trump Effect". I think I'm the only one talking about this.
Im suprised not more , amount of govt employees added in past 25 years is staggeringIt's obviously very early but the first month of spending under trump came out for february. It was 603 billion, up from 567 billion last february.
I let Massie know Id donate if so, even toug I already do I didnt mention it. Ive ad all I want of dang jewsWondering if Massie is planning on running for McConnell's Senate seat. I doubt AIPAC would be telling Trump to attack Massie if they didn't think he had any intentions.
Up until today wen judge ruled against job cuts doge claimed 62K fed govt jobs cut , leading source would eventually probably from VA ( about 80k planned cuts ) were 100K jobs were added during trump and biden previous presidencies about equallyYep. A fairly predictable one at that.
Anyone who was thinking that Trump would be making meaningful spending cuts during this administration, was overly optimistic if not delusional.
Perfect is the worst enemy of good. That's what I have learned with national politics atleast. If the president can't do his job because he doesn't get the support he needs then we just end up with someone like Kamala Harris or somebody even worse.
After 12 years in office, if he is unable to build a coalition on these issues even within his own party, maybe he's not the best dude for the job and he should step aside? Yeah get rid of him and let someone else try. That's called TERM LIMITS, which Massie says he supports.
I'm simply pointing out that the go it alone strategy hasn't worked either. Give Trump a chance and see what can be accomplished together. We have better people around Trump this time.
None better than Massie. You know. The guy you want to get rid of because he doesn't march in lockstep with your cult leader.
Resistance is not futile. But trying to reason with quislings is. So have a nice day.
