Dems should be staging protests against the Inflationary and GDP Stagnating Big Bullsh*t Bill.

 

[Duke Mu]

Of course. Let's make it even worse!

Yes on top of already projected increase in the debt

Luckily, the GOP hates growing deficits, so they will never pass this bill.

 

[ChileG]

The entire purpose of this bill is to make one man happy at everyone else’s expense.

Oh my God, if Elon could keep that last promise it would be the greatest win-win-win ever.

So Musk really cares about reducing government spending? I thought he was just using the issue as a cover so he could get inside.

He cares about his own power and his own pocket. Both of those have been greatly diminished in the last few months and this bill will hurt his pocket worse than anything he's ever seen from a regulatory standpoint. It isn't difficult to figure out why he's so ardently against it...and it isn't the government waste. He just knows that nobody listening to him has any sympathy for the plight of Elon, Tesla, or honestly renewable energy.

So the annual deficit is going from 1.8 Trillion to around 2.1 to 2.2 Trillion. I guess no one cares about that.

Not till a Dem is in office at least.

Yep. Happen to see a post he made. The last sentence was a rant that BBB fed the old industries and killed the new industries. So, its obvious he cares about his own skin and not spending.

I would also surmise, that Musk is shocked that a few hundred million only buys so much from Trump before the new blackmail kicks in.

May both wishes come true.

WOW! Tesla sales must be really taking a nose-dive.

Observers are suggesting that Senate GOP leaders are actually intentionally dragging out VoteaRama tonight because they don’t yet have the votes.

Oh yeah. If a Democrat wins in 2028 then both the GOP and news media will suddenly be all up in arms about our "runaway" budget deficit and demand that Democrats cut spending and so on.

I sure love it when you boys fight.
