While the price tag is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office at $196 billion, the measure passed the House 327-75, and it appears to have at least 61 supporters in the Senate, which would be enough to break a filibuster if there’s strong attendance.
Tired of these RINOs that keep betraying us and give the demoRATS whatever they want. Here’s another CR Bill put up in the 11th hour, 1400 pages long and the membership doesn’t have time to Read it let alone debate on it. And as usual it’s been marred with unrelated policy riders. FEMA to provide free housing, food and medical care for tens of thousands of his ‘Newcomers’, what we call illegals .
The Regime destroyed the Agricultural industry and now Congress feels obligated to bail them out. Inflation raised prices to a level that consumption was markedly reduced. In addition, skyrocketing energy costs resulting from attacks on the fossil fuel industry cut deeply into what little income they received.
It is imperative that we stop this ridiculous deficit spending. 37 trillion in the hole is just beyond comprehension and won’t get better till politicians are honest and upright in financial responsibilities
Revive the “Penny Plan” of cutting 1% across the board for EVERY federal program. “The ‘Penny Plan’ would reduce non-defense, non-safety net spending by one percent of the previous year’s total each year. Over 10 years, the plan will reduce spending (outlays) by almost $1 trillion without touching defense or entitlement spending.”
Revive the 1990’s BRAC Commission to cut through the tens of thousands of square feet of federal buildings and other assets that are sitting vacant and put them up for sale. The proceeds should go directly to making principal reduction payments on our national debt.
Allow the DOGE to weed out the good old “Waste-Fraud & Abuse” that everyone can point to, but nothing is ever done about it.
Incentivize Congress by penalizing our members of the house with a 2% reducing in pay for every $1 Billion in ACTUAL budget increases for the following year’s budget.
Save taxpayers’ money by looking for agencies and programs that:
• work on similar or different parts of the same goal (fragmentation) from work site .
• have similar goals or provide similar services (overlap)
• work on the same activities or provide the same services (duplication)
. Eliminate all pensions and benefits for Senators, Congresspeople, and Presidents after they leave office. They are ALL millionaires after leaving office .
. Make all government benefit programs time-capped. Welfare , unemployment , food stamps , etc. 6 months max .
. Eliminate all earmarks completely.
. Make a portion of every government worker’s pay incentive- based.
. Eliminate subsidies of all private business.
. Cut 90 % of foreign aid and all funding to the UN .
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 which has led the federal government to subsidize as much as 80% of the costs of those wind and solar charities typically offered in the form of tax credits.
Inflation Reduction Act climate subsidies —including de facto EV mandates — are projected to wind up costing taxpayers $1.6 trillion by 2032, all without any meaningful assessments mandated under the National Environmental Policy Act whenever a “major public action” affects environmental quality.
Stop the billions in taxpayer handout Congress passed to boost EV popularity with a national network of charging ports under the so-called 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure. DemoRATS are squandering billions on something nobody wants, while millions struggle to afford the things we need.
Pete Buttigieg will leave his post as Transportation Secretary having spent $7.5 BILLION to build 8 EV charging stations
We’ll see what Vivek and Elon can do. I won’t hold my breath… not that I don’t think they are sincere with what they say they are going to try to accomplish, I just don’t believe anything will be allowed to be accomplished. I certainly hope I’m wrong.
Elon Musk leads charge to kill spending bill meant to avert government shutdown
The tech billionaire posted about the funding bill more than 100 times Wednesday, helping lead a charge that appears to have increased the likelihood of a shutdown.
Musk helped lead a revolt Wednesday to try to stop a bipartisan funding bill in a direct challenge to the authority of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and others in Republican leadership who helped craft the measure. And in a remarkable turn, the revolt appeared to succeed at least for a day, throwing budget negotiations into chaos and increasing the odds of a government shutdown this weekend.
“Yes,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., confirmed to reporters Wednesday evening when he was asked whether the current bill is now dead.
WH Slams Trump, GOP Over Sinking Federal Spending Plan
The Biden administration slammed President-elect Donald Trump and House Republicans on Wednesday night for torpedoing a bullshit spending plan heralded by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., as a midnight Friday deadline looms to prevent a partial government shutdown.
Criticism of the 1,547-page spending package built steadily throughout the day and culminated with a lengthy statement from Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance posted late in the afternoon on Vance’s X account. It has forced Johnson back to the drawing board on a plan to prevent a Christmastime shutdown, The Washington Post reported.
HAIL TO MUSK
Musk Responds After Dem Leader Accuses House GOP of Breaking Bipartisan Deal
Once again, the United States Congress is putting its inability to manage its pocketbook on display for the world to see. Disaster relief? Spitball some numbers, in excess of $100 billion, don’t figure out a way to pay for it; include pedestrian trails and military bases and pet projects in 40 different states—the vast majority not impacted by the hurricanes—and call it good.
Add to that a continuing resolution (CR), which will keep ongoing spending for the next three months, producing an additional $800 billion to the national debt and keep all of the horrible Biden Regime policies in place.
They may not realize that the propulsion for that out-of-control debt is the structural deficit of the national government: roughly $2.5 trillion per year. That means we spend $2.5 trillion more than we receive in revenue each year.
The continuing resolution spending plan heralded by dipshit Mike Johnson, R-La., to avert a partial government shutdown included a one-year extension for the GEC.
Established in 2016, its mission is to lead U.S. government efforts to "recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United State.
This all started way back in January 2017 , when Buzzfeed News published a 35-page document, which later became known as the Christopher Steele dossier, which falsely alleged Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russia. FBI wrongly told its agents Trump-Russia collusion claims had come from DOJ, bombshell document reveals
In October 2020, a controversy arose involving data from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden.Label Russian dis information . FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real in 2019
Do you think these mother fuckers did their job ? MY GOD .
The Republicans could have a Royal Ace High Straight Flush in their hand, but fold to a pair of duces on a bluff, time and time again!!! These Republicans should learn that if they do not vote together, they only destroy all of us . What has changed in DC? Crooked people leading crooked people. Fools leading fools. Dysfunction breeding more dysfunction. Looks like a “continuing resolution” to me. Why does congress need a raise , they all become millionaires with 3 years in office . Time to shut it DOWN no one will even notice the inactivity .
The Senate voted in a bipartisan fashion, 73-23, to advance a bill that would boost Social Security benefits for more than 2 million American by repealing laws that had limited payouts to public sector employees.
The legislation previously passed the House 327-75.
They tell us SS will be broke in 10 years yet dipshits pass this BS .
We have never in history, to my knowledge, unleashed such a massive bomb that would blow such a massive hole in the Social Security trust fund — $200 billion," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said.
Remember these are the same people telling us sleepy joe mental acuity was great also told us Russian collusion was real and hunters laptop wasn’t! . Don’t trust any of these assholes !!!
Why are we giving more money to FEMA ?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through FEMA and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in grants through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which was authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants.ILLEGALS .

WTF
I don’t see eye patch McStain on that list or either that my eyes are going bad. Burchett is definitely not a RINO. Keep in mind some who voted against it were voting against other things in this latest CR that they didn’t agree with. It was whittled down to 9 pages from 1500. I would like to know their reasons for not voting for it. People like Massie, Luttrell, Roy, Craine should be asked that question before labeling these people as RINOs.
