Is this the winning and efficiency you told us about?
Speaking of efficiency have we seen a single shred of evidence of any of the "inefficiencies"?
The 150 year old man collecting social security? What was his name? Where were the checks going?
As soon as puts are available on TSLA for January 2029 at a .10 strike I'm putting my life savings in.

The proposed GOP budget has $110 billion dollars for the House Judiciary Committee. How could they possibly need that much money? That's $2.5 billion for each of the 44 committee members!

$90 billion for the Homeland Security Committee? That seems very excessive too, but at least I can what they might possibly spend it on.

Sure doesn't seem like a plan for less government and fiscal restraint.

Republicans fail to read the room once again

None of this that MAGA Republicans are doing is about policy. It's about owning the Libs and hiding their own graft and corruption. BI MAGAs are dancing jigs over all the performative nonsense that "owns the Libs". While ignoring the rampant corruption and hypocrisy of their own party.

talking about liberal politically motivated spending, waste, reducing bureaucracy, etc. looks really nice, but how do you then end-up with a $4.5 trillion increase in the deficit? Perhaps Elon's group might take a look at that

Here's the crux of the problem...

They aren't reducing spending to offset the entire tax cut.
And then they (House GOP) rely on an overly optimistic $2.6 Trillion in higher revenues from assumed faster growth.

That's how you get another $4.5 Trillion increase in the national debt.

003vshould be b shortly to defend the proposal any moment now. Because while he totally dislikes Trump, he always deflects for him. (It's obvious he has Democrat Derangement Syndrome.)

I've also noticed that DDS is rampant among the dental surgeon profession.

Yes, DDS is not just for Dentists anymore.

I trust zero coming from trump, musk, Foxnews, or anything out of the Republican Party.

It's quite possible that the party has eternally branded itself as liars and unhelpful to the average American to such an extent that we end up getting a long term run of democrat leadership.

And I'm first to say that's not a good thing.

Multiparty government is better than two.

Disallowed joke.
This punchline was reserved for Big C.
