One Big Beautiful Bill on Target for July 4

I suppose they would get involved come October when the budget year actually starts

 

Or maybe just not spend it at all. Give it back to the taxpayers. Isn’t that what republicans are all about?

 

They shouldn’t be moving the space shuttle from the Smithsonian. That’s a waste of money

 

He did make a statement to that effect and then back off and allowed ICE to continue deporting immigrants in those jobs.probably after speaking with Stephen Miller his mini-me. He did make a statement regarding those immigrants a second time and my guess is he will reverse himself a second time.

 

Looks like Britain is getting in on the energy game by requiring every house built on or after 2027 to have a coal-powered furnace and stove. Just kidding. Britain is run by grownups. They would never do something so childish, backwards and stupid. They are requiring that every new house be built with solar panels. The Brits are thinking about adding loans or grants to make it feasible.

Government unleashes sweeping mandate that will impact almost every new home: 'Vital … to help cut bills for families'

The Brits must have tiny roofs if a full set of solar panels will only add 4,000 pounds (less than $6,000) to the cost of the home.

 

Ain indigenous community in northern Mexico is laughing at the United States for MAGA's fear of solar panels. They use solar panels as part of agri-voltaics, where solar panels provide enough shade for crops to keep them healthy and minimize their water needs. They do not know how to operate a computer, but they said if they ever do get one, they'll use it to laugh at Donald Trump and his supporters. (Welcome to Gator Country, Mexican indigenous communities!)

Maybe someday the MAGA crowd will evolve intellectually to the point that indigenous communities around the globe don't ridicule them.

Indigenous community sees stunning results after making high-tech addition to farming practices: 'We pay less for energy'

 

And a North Carolina community that voted for Trump, and clearly against their own self-interest, will suffer for it.

At least rich people will get a nice deficit-funded tax cut.

Whoopsie! It looks like Trump's Deficit Funded Tax Cut Bill will add $600 billion more to the debt than previously estimated, totalling $4.1 trillion in increased debt.

This is due to higher interest rates, including on government borrowing. Who could have predicted this?!

Interest rates will be higher over the next decade because of the GOP’s megabill and drive up borrowing costs even for the federal government, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper predicts in a new report released Monday.

In an analysis of the massive domestic policy package President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the measure will increase the federal deficit by $4.1 trillion over a decade. Because the bill’s red ink is not offset by more spending cuts or new revenue, CBO found, the legislation will drive up interest rates.
