People freaking out but then no one says what is in the bill
There are a group of people in this world that are programmed to freak out about everything
You put the words elon or trump next to it and they come to eat it up. ThePavlov’s dog experiment at a human level. How about stop being a dog then lay out the points why this bill should pass and address the things people are worried about as well in it
> Mr. Trump weighed in late Wednesday afternoon, saying lawmakers needed to pass a “temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS,” and said it should be combined with an increase in the debt ceiling, the cap on how much money the United States is authorized to borrow to meet its financial obligations.
Reminds me of when pre-MAGA tea party Republicans clutched their pearls and went on tirades any time the debt ceiling was raised during Obama’s presidency.
Trump wants the debt ceiling raised. His plans will significantly increase the deficit and doesn’t want a budget showdown later in the year to slow his plans.
