What a reversal!

Some of the most conservative members of Congress say they are ready to vote for a budget that would — at least on paper — balloon the deficit to more than $1 trillion by the end of the decade, all for the sake of eventually repealing the Affordable Care Act.

In a dramatic reversal, many members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus said Thursday they are prepared later this month to support a budget measure that would explode the deficit and increase the public debt to more than $29.1 trillion by 2026, figures contained in the budget resolution itself.

    As long as they got the credit card out, tap on an extra $5 billion to give to Israel.

    Borrow the money and give it to right wing terrorists.

      Some dreadful CEO of some company who was indiscriminately chopping down rain forests in So Am was asked if he cared about the future and he said “I don’t care”.

    Amazing the difference an “R” is when it comes after your name. It seems some completely fall in love with you and bend over and grab their ankles without question.

    And that doesn’t include paying for the wall.

    The leader of the fiscally conservative GOP has just advised that we will pay for the wall and Mexico will reimburse us, and based upon his track record, it’s the gospel truth. ://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c26598d1f925824023aa9bb4bca97f2702b9edb5499b140dd72a3e8283cc6b16.jpg t must be the truth right?

    Coming from a crew that has adopted Vladimir Putin as their BFF, why should we be surprised?

    But the 1%ers will do well from the budget, (they need the tax breaks to maintain their life style)

    add in the wall the bigger navy the tax cuts now we’re talking a deep hole. their plan is to do what regan started which is to put the government in so much dept that it can’t afford social programs like SS and medicare.

    Mark my words — Trump’s Wall, alone, will cost more than a trillion.

    Only simpletons think a wall, alone, will keep Mexicans out. The wall also needs to be policed — three shifts a day, seven days a week, year in and year out. Plus the coast lines. All these soldiers and sailors and contractors get salaries and healthcare and pensions.

    Then we will be the camps and courts and transportation and care for the prisoners. This will be done by overpaid government contractors.

    This is going to be a spectacularly expensive boondoggle — all paid for with debt, which will again double the cost.

    And, it won’t work.
