That sorta depends on what they are and the magnitude. Yeah, you can grow the economy, but it's still probably accurate to say that the loss of revenue from tax cuts needs to be considered when looking at spending.

That prob would not pass

I agree with it 100% but also believe as you said that it would be DOA in the house because too many GOP congressmen were getting green new deal pork sent to their districts.

Everyone loves DOGE until your donors start getting cut.

He wouldn’t make it out of the first primary and everyone knows it. His proposal could have been written by anyone alive during the last 25 years: tax cuts and no spending is essentially what is proposing. The anemic cuts in the BBB are balked at by Rhinos no doubt they would whole heartedly support 2 trillion in cuts per year lol

Again. It's ok for him to say he is against cutting the deficit by 4.9 trillion because he isn't getting it his way.

It's ok for you to admit you don't like 4.9 trillion cut from it too.

every single budget bill is going to have pork.

what elon and massie are advocating for is zero pork, which is unrealistic. they know that to be true, as well

Thats a perfect list. Can Massie put out a realistic version? We all know that one would never pass House or Senate.

Massie and Rand tried to kill 2.8 Trillion in deficit cuts.

Like I said. They are standing against 4.9 Trillion in deficit cuts/reduction.


How very conservative of them.

I believe it because it's true. Rand even went to the floor to try to out maneuver Trump.

Logic and fiscal responsibility has no place in our government.

Trump has to pay his MIC bosses since he is their cuck along with Bibi’s.

Here's my plan:

No taxes for anyone

No spending at all

All politicians executed

My plan is as realistic and likely to pass as Massie's. But hey, he says things that makes us feel warm and tingly so the fact that he will never be able to deliver on his absurd plan is irrelevant. We are conservatives and that means we care about words and virtues more than results and practicality.

So you are fine cutting taxes and increasing the deficit because who cares, it’s not your debt right?

Short-sighted stupidity of Trumpets always amazes me.

Yet another moron with no reading comprehension skills.

Cutting taxes without cutting spending much less increasing net spending will not reduce the deficit but increase it, you moron.

And BCreed, why don’t you post your truncated list of the BBB that ignores the hull of increased spending your masters are trying to pass in that piece of shite bill.

Green new deal piece would mean it requires 60 votes, right?

This was supposed to list the pork, anyone still just saying “remove pork” as their “plan” is being dishonest at best. Name it, list it, or stfu.


Fine with removing SALT. Is he saying too much immigration funding?


How much medicaid reform can they do before it required the 60 votes instead of 50…
