Until congressional representatives in the House and Senate are capable of bipartisanship and passing much smaller legislation instead of sweeping omnibus bills, we're stuck with one gigantic bill passed through budget reconciliation regardless of who has the slim majority in Congress. "Build Back Better" is hardly superior to the "Big Beautiful Bill," but between the two, Trump's BBB having a provision on no tax being taken from overtime directly benefits me.
It only lasts through 2028 and only up to $12.5k.

And don't worry, the money printing that will be needed to pay for this bill will make those tax savings meaningless with the added inflation. Then I'm gonna laugh at you for whining about inflation (well, you won't whine about it until Dear Leader is no longer president because you could never criticize your waifu).

They should, instead, pass smaller bills. I know you're not very smart but you do know they made it one big bill so they could throw unpopular shit in there that fucks you over, right?
 
Hey @Hollywood Hulk Hogan maybe you'd like to take me up on my earlier offer since@Neil is being a little bitch made faggot rn

Something tells me you'd give a better answer than he would anyway
stop tagging them, you retard
More money for ICE, just don't deport the farm workers

Republicans like illegals more than the DNC
all of them deserve to be deported no matter what, or worse. Deporation is the moderate solution
 
Sheer horror would be a more appropriate reaction:
She literally looks like Max Schreck as Nosferatu, wearing a fright wig. What a hideous apparition. I’m going to show a photo of her to all the kids I hate and tell them she hides under their beds at night and emerges to caress their faces as they sleep when they’re naughty.
 
The actual truth is ICE will have 50% of the budget the Marines have year-over-year.
Cool. DEPORT THE JEETS.

If the republicans want all the NEETS to "get jobs" we need to free up all those good paying tech jobs Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barak Obama, Donald Trump part 1, Biden, and Donald Trump 2 have been promising as viable replacements for the good paying manufacturing jobs that got out-sourced to Chyyyyynah.

This is we all know the pajeets were brought in to suppress wages in the tech sector. Flush them. ICE has only deported
300 of an estimated 700,000 illegal Pajeets in the USA. Cut all H-1B visas, just end the fucking things, along with all the other loophole visas like B-1, etc. Fuck em.

REPLACE THE JEETS WITH NEETS!!!

it'll fix everything and will MAGA. You'll see.

Send pajeets back to their country.gif

You act like Trump actually gives a shit about getting rid of illegals that aren't hispanic. He's cool with white, Asian and Indian illegals.

Trump and his sycophants are trying to Make India Great Again!
 
What is it?
Okay admittedly im potentially assuming too much of your own positions with this but I genuinely want an answer:

Explain to me how importing undocumented foreign scabs to drive down the price of labor and weaken labor's bargaining power benefits the working class in a way that DOESN'T involve supply-side trickle-down Reaganism?

If you can I'll flip on this issue immediately.

stop tagging them, you retard
No :)

Because the amount that they'd have to pay Americans to do those jobs is way more than they're willing to pay. It would drive costs up a lot. There's even been surveys when asked who would want to work in the "factories" that Trump promised and it's a very small number https://reason.com/2025/04/15/do-americans-really-want-to-bring-back-manufacturing/
That's according to the Cato Institute's 2024 Globalization and Trade Survey, which recently went viral. The report found that 80 percent of Americans think the country would be better if more Americans worked in factories, but only 25 percent think they would be better if they worked in a factory.
I know that's not picking crops or whatever, but it's a similar concept. If, for example, a meat plant had to hire domestic workers, they'd have to pay them quite a bit, which would drive up the price of meat by a lot. I sure as hell wouldn't want an 85% or whatever it is pay cut to work in a meat plant.

I am not saying we should have totally open borders or anything like that. That's retarded. However, an easier way to bring in immigrants legally who want to work in jobs like that would benefit everyone. You could even make it so that the factory would have incentives to hire citizens (like make them pay a tax on wages for the people brought over or something like that). And then of course you could make it so that if a company is caught hiring someone who isn't here legally, they get severely punished (funny how this doesn't happen now, lol).
 
Your eternal optimism is a beacon of hilarious hope/cope in these dark and oppressive times.
Remember, Mike Johnson doesn't just pass the Green Line Test, he blew it out.

Do you think Paul Ryan could do that? The closeted fag before him? He's and honest politician, he stays bought.

Come on Hulk, you know as well as I do and anyone else with two functioning brain cells does that smaller bills will just die in the Senate because Team Blue doesn't seriously break ranks and everything needs 60 votes.

But that's a good thing. Rising wages and labor shortages are not only good for labor in the immediate term they also encourage the development of new labor-saving technologies and methodologies that ultimately make the economy more efficient and prosperous than it would have been by continuing to rely on cheap exploited manual labor.

If you can make an argument that doesn't revolve around Americans are too expensive and thus, we need cheap labor either foreign or domestic, I'll put Krieger in a burger suit.

There's a reason the north beat the south and it wasn't just they had most of the Navy
It wouldn't increase wages, though. It would just shift the wages from one industry to another.

Well considering the tantrum you threw when price gouging caused inflation in 2022, I figured you were against inflation. Or is inflation okay when Daddy is president?

Obsession of meat packing and picking crops, so we all have to suffer.

Unreal.
How are you suffering, little guy? Does seeing some brown people trigger you that much? Since it seems it does, I say we import more brown people just to watch you seethe
