We have truly fallen down the rabbit hole.
The only thng I know for sure is that they are not going to cut anything at all—ever. I heard today that to meet the mandated goal of cutting 1.2 trillion over 10 years all they really had to do was reduce anticipated growth in spending by $980 billion over TEN YEARS.(The rest of the ‘reduction’ would be booked in as reduced interest payments.) That’s $98 billion a year in reduced increases. A pittance.
They didn’t even come close. The dims are determined to raise taxes. More taxes — no cuts. Not even “pretend” cuts. They are outright socialists across the board. No Republican is articulating anything to the contrary. This country is going to go broke, without doubt.
