Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ will lead to Medicare cuts: CBO

It does to the hangwringers and defenders of the faith

 

It's also interesting how people have become so interested in and experts in the deficit/debt/owe a lot of money situation of late. Funny enough, they only harangue one set of politicians about the issue.

 

Yeah, remember when Republicans harangued Biden about the debt before they took power and passed a bill that is projected to add trillions to the debt from the level left to them by Biden?

 

One party used to claim to be fiscally conservative. Arguably the dems are now more fiscally conservative, even if we know they are far from it. The GOP has gone full anti-trade full big guv crazy.

 

It was a rhetorical question obviously.
Point being, if it passes musk will get a sweet payback for his support of trump. Now who could have predicted that.

 

Do you believe the government should solicit from the leading provider of space launch capabilities? Or should they bypass them?

 

I think a leading recipient of federal contracts shouldn't have involved themselves in the government like Elon did. I think MAGA has completely blocked the words "conflict of interest," from their brains.

 

I do every time so they can decide if they want to report the income themselves. And it “usually” all goes to my server who I’m tipping not the staff.

 

“President Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” featuring tax cuts and increased spending, has rattled bond markets due to fears it will sharply increase U.S. national debt. Wall Street analysts are now questioning America’s status as a financial safe haven.”



The bond market is worrying that 'something may be breaking beneath the surface' of Trump's tax bill

 

Seems like just yesterday

 

I have no problem with the government soliciting input from Musk on subjects related to his areas of expertise. He shouldn't have carte blanche to do incalculable damage to multiple programs with which he has very little knowledge including the imposition of changes affecting the well being of hundreds of millions of Americans. You think Musk would be OK with government bureaucrats with little technical knowledge making across the board cuts at Space X or Tesla in the name of improving efficiency?

 

Given our huge budget deficit I don't think we should be spending almost 200 Billion dollars on this. Period.
So much for fiscal conservatism, eh.
