“It's structurally set up to fail," Davis said. LOL. You know what would help Jim Jordan’s “weaponization” investigation? Actual evidence. You know, like the Jan. 6 committee had.

Also, it’s informative that Democrats aren’t frothing at the mouth spouting conspiracy theories about an underwear clad McConnell in a hotel room with a male prostitute.

Bottom line on the budget proposal is something beats nothing every time.

Recovery from the Bush and Trump tax cuts will take decades just as the deficits and debt caused by them accumulated over decades. Taxes are too low to cover the government spending the public demands. The primary problem with the Biden proposal is a failure to raise taxes enough.

The alternative of cutting enough spending to balance the budget would lead to a total collapse of our country as we know it due to the extreme poverty and suffering caused by it.

"when the deficit routinely is more than $1.5 trillion per year - and getting closer to $2 trillion per year - that's unacceptable, and we all know it." We = the small percentage of Americans who pay attention know it. The tax cuts for small businesses sunset in 2025, that'll help pay it off. Like my business, unless perhaps that due to tax policy I decide it's time to retire in 2025 and live off capital gains which for a modest income would be taxed at $0. Like I said ... the small percentage of Americans who pay attention .... also tend to come out ahead.

“I do have to note the different way that the news about McConnell was processed. Unlike when the husband of then Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked by an assailant, there were no conspiracy theories or jokes being made about McConnell by lawmakers of the other party.”

That’s because republicans are indecent, deeply disturbed, hateful slugs.

But who didn’t know that?
