Yes, because if he is instrumental in cutting out g'ment pork spending that is a bad thing and he should be condemned for it.

You are so basic. You think you're smart and then you actually think he really cares about that at all??
He cares about his own power and wealth. Nothing else.

You might be cf's twin brother.
So evil billionaire who is leading the way away from fossil fuels, supports free speech so much that he bought a social media platform because it was guilty of censorship, and wants to eliminate wasteful g'ment spending. Damn, he needs to be shot. Face it, you are just angry because he supports all the things you, as a liberal are supposed to support, but secretly don't unless it agrees with your pov.

What am I not supposed to like here. I get that you don't want trump and DOGE to succeed. But billions in pork spending got cut? I'm sorry but I like that. Guess what, it got done and the g'ment didn't shut down. I'm guessing America will like that too.

Uh, it didn’t actually cut anything. It just kicked the can to March. When EVERYTHING will be on your team. Good luck with that!

Looks like the main differences in this bill compared to the bipartisan deal are (1) it’s for a much shorter time, and (2) it removes the limits on American investment in China. (1) just means the Pubs will have to deal with all this again in three months, all on their own. (2) was the reason Elon objected to the bipartisan bill in the first place, so congrats to him I guess. He can become even more filthy rich by doing business with one of our main enemies.
Otherwise, the bill that finally passed didn’t really cut any spending. It just extended existing spending for a shorter time.

Sounds like your Speaker knows this was a complete capitulation by the Pubs. Could have had a decent win until Trump and Elon got involved.

Johnson called it a “very important piece of legislation,” but also a “necessary step to bridge the gap to put us into that moment where we can put our fingerprints on the final decisions on spending for 2025.”
“We are set up for a big and important new start in January,” Johnson said.
We're not at war with China. Prescott Bush was still doing business with Germany after we entered WWII.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

translation: With DOGE beginning in 2025 it is going to be harder to get our pork spending through so let's blow it out in 24 for old time's sake and we can start being fiscally responsible in 2025.

this bill did cut the proposed pork. spending is at its current levels. no new pork included. unless you have read the bill since it just got the green light and seen that the proposed spending is still there.
I don't know although the elder Bush had ex-Nazis working in his campaign. I don't assign any particular meaning to that but since you asked about connections, those particular ones existed.
What connection does that have with trading with the enemy?

Were you not in support of government overpaying to stay at trump properties? Is that not pork, or is that how you like your pork?
Pork isn't the biggest issue in this country.

Neither party has been fiscally responsible in 50 years. The one party that came close was the dems.
Musk and trump don't care about government spending, they just want to figure out how to ensure that the government makes their net worth increase.
