See my Post 11...There is a border security bill already passed by the House. It’s at the Senate now.

And remember, this is just the official debt. I’ve heard estimates of over 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities,

And what about interest on the debt? With interest rates rising, we have got to be spending well over a trillion a year just on interest on what’s already been borrowed.

You probably have some really good points but I a not going to read them because I don’t want to run into the inevitable b/c which is used instead of the actual word because. I am seriously annoyed y people who say b/c and w/ for the sake of saving 2 or 4 keystrokes when your computer will gladly complete a word for you.

<><>we must be spending well over a $trillion a year just on interest for previous borrowings.

An original supporter of Ukraine aid, he's now reluctant at best. He has voted against the last two Ukraine bills.

He supports the extermination of Hamas.

I think he's got it about right.


So far, on those two foreign policy matters, that sounds right. Let's see what he does and how he does it - maybe this is an upgrade over McCarthy.

I don't know about you, but I am soooo stoked that New Speaker Mike Johnson is going to look out for our Greatest Ally EVAH.

We most definitely have an interest in the two hostile nations that can destroy us.

Don’t ever do a continuing resolution for anything, get back to individual bills and absolutely no pork bills...but I digress.

All those RINO/neocon/uniparty GOPe congressmen didn’t back him for nothing.

That sounds like a hopeless situation, then. It reminds me of Grouch Marx's aphorism:
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

Do you have the bill number?

There is a website that lists all bills and resolutions, what progress they’ve made, etc., but I neglected to save the link. :-(

Johnson said the 1st thing the House would do (starting shortly this afternoon after his appearance B4 the press) was pass a bill for support to Israel.

(Good article.)

The estimate for 2023 is $663 billion in fiscal year 2023, but the next decade looks much worse unless something happens to crash interest rates (which would likely be very bad itself.)

Prayers for Mr. Johnson and his family. In the present environment we don’t know what evil may be perpetrated against him or members of his family. Also, that he would have the courage necessary to withstand all the hate that will be directed against him if he indeed does seek to reign in spending and gives priority to conservative goals.
