It’s never taken big balls from a Dem to give our tax dollars away.
I'm not in favor of more Ukraine funding, but I like the idea that's a stand alone vote. If the majority votes for it, so be it. I won't complain. I definitely understand the political game and how bills are passed, using the give and take method, but I feel the majority of the country has grown weary if not disgusted over how important and popular legislation gets hung up over a pet project or other pork. People want straight up and down votes on the issues, at least the important ones.
There's always been foreign aid to other countries....always. Why stop now?
If the GOP hadn't been as crazy as a bag of cats this Ukraine funding could have been passed months ago along with the strongest boarder bill we've seen in decades or will see for years to come
one wonders if this is basically just the senate bill broken up... i.e. if they couldn't get it to the floor whole, but as part of letting the GOP house "caucus" vote up / down on each item, it has been arranged that the border bill will draw some, if not significant D support. Just depends on what they stuff into the latter, per the thread above.
The border bill was a joke
Hard disagree. No new legislation at all is needed. Had Biden left alone the policies of the last Admin, such as remain in Mexico, and had they not pushed or mandated woke policies, such as no bail or catch and release, we wouldn't have the problems we have today. The Ds are too stubborn, too petty, and too afraid to admit they screwed up. The fact of the matter is the Trump Admin enacted a lot of good policies that the Ds reversed simply and solely because Orange Man Bad. It was stupid and immature, and we're paying a dear price.
The Ds haven’t screwed up with the border. Their policy is working precisely as they intend.
Are you talking about the 10% that pay 85% of the taxes?
Total tax collections during the Trump years varied very little, ranging from $ 3.32 Trillion up to $ 3.4 trillion after the tax cut. so the cuts resulted in about the same in overall revenue, so guessing some got plowed back into the economy in some form to keep the overall collections increasing although very slightly. I have no issues with tax cuts provided the budget is cut first, of course that doesn't happen under either party since the late 90's. Cut all the pork, cut foreign aid by 25%, cut defense spending by 5%-7% (just reduce the number of generals, their staffs and their air fair should get 3% or so)
Any kind of aid bill should be the length of a bill of sale...one page.
That is what the business class says isn't. But if that were true wouldn't the opposite be true, i.e. supply side tax cuts lead to economic growth and more jobs but that's not what has happened.
The border bill that was blown up was another bill with a TON of sneaky, slimey democrat bullshit in it. If it had really only been about the border, it would have had a good chance to pass after a few things were straightened out.
33% of small, mom and pop businesses in the US are S corps. 35% are LLCs. Both were helped by the Trump tax cuts.
So what, it was still full of bullshit. Instead of money to stop the flow and secure the border, it alloted huge money to build bigger facilities and more judges to process illegals and turn them loose quicker.
And the stats you stated have nothing to do with the fact the Trump Tax cuts did nothing for average Americans and the Kansas tax experiment was a huge failure that blew a massive hole in their state budget.
That 68% of businesses I spoke of ARE average Americans. Plus a lot that own C corps and partnerships as well.
Lindsay Graham said this bill was the best deal on the border Republicans could ever get.
1) what 68%, that figure is no where in your post and 2) the tax cut wasn't promised to benefit only small business owners but all Americans. IIn 2023 only 7% of Americans were small business owners. So youre saying that tax cut was OK because it benefited the 7% of Americans that are small business owners? That's not what Trump and the GOP promised and why it's costing Ameicans $100B every year over the next 10 years.
Let me ask you this, do you think we should spend more money for border security and Border patrol agents?
1) 33% (S corps) + 35% (LLCs) = 68% of all small businesses.1) what 68%, that figure is no where in your post and 2) the tax cut wasn't promised to benefit only small business owners but all Americans. IIn 2023 only 7% of Americans were small business owners. So youre saying that tax cut was OK because it benefited the 7% of Americans that are small business owners?

You are so right. This is all the gop and trump’s fault right.

I am sure these illegals came here and then begin committing crimes like this. No way they came here without being check out.
Seems like a pedo friendly border crossing policy if I have ever seen one from those crafty Dems. I congratulate them.
