Members of the hardline House Freedom Caucus are pushing to cut spending to a fiscal 2022 level of $1.47 trillion, $120 billion less than President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed to in their May debt ceiling compromise.
With Republicans also seeking higher spending on defense, veterans benefits and border security, analysts say the hardline target would mean cuts of up to 25% in areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, science, commerce, water and energy, and healthcare.
Just make those cuts from the military budget? Lol but that’s not what they mean when they complain about out of control spending
Make the cuts in their districts!
We can’t do that, we need to replace everything we sent to Ukraine!
Obligatory: I’m not against supporting Ukraine, but you have to admit that it’s a very nice for them that there’s a war going on. It allows all of those countries to get rid of their old stocks of equipment that they’ve had no justification to replace. I think military spending will only increase.
It’s funny because that’s likely what they’ll say.
Even though all the stuff sent to Ukraine so far has basically been outdated surplus equipment that the military can’t sell to anyone else.
How 'bout we just stop sending any money at all to red states. They are a huge drain on the normal states. They take and take and take while removed endlessly about people who take. Fuck 'em. Cut them off.
Both Florida and Texas asked for FEMA money this year, let’s start with that. Just make sure to let them know that it was thanks to the Republicans
Just ignore the hypocritical Nazis
sure, they’ll just shut down our entire government
They’ve not the power to do so without the self proclaimed “pragmatic moderate” Republicans, which shall Vote as they are told since they’re terrified of the fascists.
