Tillis barely won his last election by less than 2%. There are no Burrs in the Senate. The Dems didn't even nominate anyone to run against Mike Lee in Utah and he still only got 53% of the vote. Graham and Lee are both S. Carolina and something is def wrong with that state.

So my point stands, it's either a RINO or a Dem in most of these places.
Tillis was unpopular, even with Republicans. He barely won when he first won in 2014, and that was a good midterm for Republicans. He only won in 2020 because he got carried by Trump and his opponent fucked up with a sex scandel. Evan McMullin was popular and 2022 was the Roe v. Wade year.

A non-RINO Republican can win in tough places, they just can't be retarded picks like Oz, Walker, or Lake (twice).
 
What people need to understand is that the only way to actually solve the debt crisis is to make massive cuts to our social programs and raise taxes all around. Cutting out the military budget is not possible because our economy is largely built around that, the only way to make that cheaper is to nationalize that entire industry to cut out the retarded 8000% markups we get on soap dispensers
Our social programs are massively oversized from Obama and the tax cuts introduced by Trump in 2017 made this issue worse.

Fact is if you cut entitlements you lose elections plain and simple. Look at how boomers are sperging about fucking illegals at risk of losing Medicaid and now imagine that amped up 100x when it's their own stuff.

If Trump ran out some huge deficit cutting bill with mega entitlement cuts and it somehow passed (it wont it would get voted down like 80/20 easy) multiple elections would be lost and the dems would just give all that shit back and then some while they had power and open the borders like never before.

Pointless to even consider it as it is not viable political strategy and if you think it is get help.

Republicans need to be a bit more creative with raising taxes and massive entitlement cuts. Illegal immigration enforcement, removing SALT, and scaling back useless government grants could go along way to doing that. They should also look into removing the tax exempt status of left-wing colleges. Make Democrats own up to using Medicaid for transgender surgeries, and giving illegal immigrants free healthcare. Raise taxes in a way that hurts the billionaires that fund their enemies.

You're not wrong. It is just sad to see. Still, we got some stuff out of it. Tax reform, border reform, military spending, a lot of good shit generally.
 
Shit, ol Fatpacks here may be a bit repetitive with the doom pilling, but he’s also fucking right.

Everything MAGA in that bill got SNIP, cut the fuck out.

It’s another raising of the debt ceiling, another bill that might as well have been passed under Biden.
No term limits on Congress has been one of the biggest mistakes the United States has ever made.

When Trump considered a tax on millionaires, Ted Cruz fucking sperged out. Unfortunately, Reagan, beyond fucking the US with his amnesty bill, fucked conservatives with his stupid trickle down economics, so now most conservatives see any tax hike, even if it's on the wealthy as sacrilege.

Is that why illegals on Medicaid wasn’t cut?

Ah yes, thank god there’s a trillion dollar military budget!

Otherwise, how would Israel ever survive?

The answer to the first is that no, it's because the parliamentarian decided last minute that it needed 60 votes to qualify, and Thune is a spineless faggot for not overriding it or firing her. He's not any better than McConnell. If Elon puts his money where his mouth is, he primaries this guy in 2028.

Israel has been promised those bombs for 2,000 years you see 😜

Note that they do pay for 75% of everything they get from the USA themselves.

tbh if it wasn't for the insane markups and lack of proper oversight from the treasury our budget would probably be under $700B and still perform as well as it does right now with $850B and $1.9 trillion unaccounted for.

They wouldn't even have to do that! In the last fiscal year Indian's sent back $135.46 billion! The Republicans could launch the highest ever tax that does not tax US Citizens and everyone would love them for it.
