  • Breaking : BBB Passes Senate - But It Was a Squeaker

    Live news :

    The BBB did just pass the Senate - but JD had to
    cast the tie-breaker.

    Now it's back to the House again so they can argue
    about whatever language the Senate changed.

    The two main probs with the BBB are how much it
    increases the national debt and Medicaid cuts.

    Medicaid is recognized as horribly corrupted,
    seems like everyone has a scam to rip off
    the system. The pols say they want to cut out
    the bad but keep the good. That's not going to
    be so easy.

    The Debt - saw a chart the other day. The USA
    had essentially NO debt until around the time
    Carter took over. Then it just kept going up
    and up and up. Govt keeps wanting to spend
    more than the USA earns in today's world and
    the politics of our kind of 'democracy' make
    it difficult to stop doing that. If you don't
    deliver the pork you don't get re-elected.

    Trump says his trade machinations will allow
    the USA to earn more, offsetting or maybe even
    reducing the debt, eventually.

    $4 trillion added to the
    national debt, for which MAGAs
    will spend years blaming "free
    spending Democrats", no doubt.

    Remember Trump's promise to
    eliminate the national debt?

    And you actually fell for it.....
