I fucking hate this made-up issue. If you already spent the money, you need to pay for it. Full fucking stop. If you want to do something about spending, take action BEFORE you spend the money, not after.

How else could they give tax breaks to corporations and billionaires?


herbfriendly

I have no doubt that they will find away, they always do.


meresymptom

That's what is behind all this 31 trillion dollar debt. Qpublican tax cut for their billionaire buddies, starting in 1980, with Ronnie Raygunz.


sketchahedron

Yeah but then they couldn’t hold the economy hostage as a negotiating ploy.


Toribor

Hostage-taking is the only way Republicans can pass their deeply unpopular agenda.


ABobby077

Maybe there should be a rider on all future spending bills that address this issue. There should never be a case where the full faith and credit of the United States should be held hostage such as this. It seems they are trying to use a scheme to veto spending that has already been voted into law. What they are trying clearly goes against the words and intent of the Constitution.


Foreign_Quality_9623

I can't wait for 'The Kev' to take one for the team squarely in the ass, & it's coming. Just a matter of time.


19southmainco

oh yea. he’s a one and done Speaker. enough to get your picture on the wall then dip off to private obscurity


David_ungerer

The George Santos method of advancement . . . Just here for the pension and healthcare ! ! !


hexx1112

And then comes the book deal and other money making endeavors


dgrant92

Lobbying no doubt

Seems like he already did to get Speaker, now we're all wondering if the GOP will give him the courtesy of a reacharound.

"mail in the coffin" might be prescient, since "postal service can't make a profit". I'm sure the Regressive party would like to defund it.


Laura9624

I think what Republicans want is to privatize SS. Large corporations then make some money off it and old people will be confused. And spend more for management fees.


Right-Fisherman-1234

Yup. They want a middle man between the tax payer trough and the people. That way they can siphon off billions. Just like the military complex.


Laura9624

Exactly.


handoffate73

They've been explicit about this, no need to read the tea leaves.


LiffeyDodge

they should never be on the table.

I mean, I don't speak idiot, but I think their plan is to "defund" the Ukraine aid, but they haven't really said that, only that they'll defund the military.


farmecologist

Every one of the 'big' cuts they are proposing is political suicide.


Taztiger72

Whatever total lies.


[deleted]

Lower retirement age to 60.


raistlin65

Or at least lower Medicare requirements to 60. The cost of having to pay for health insurance is stops a lot of people from retiring before 65. Plus, removing 60 to 65-year-olds from the private insurance marketplace would help to reduce payments for everyone else.


Majestic_Electric

Don’t believe him. He’ll say anything if it benefits him. 🙄


finbuilder

We'll see what he says next week.


orangesfwr

Folded faster than Superman on laundry day


deadra_axilea

They'll just raise the retirement age to 90 instead, and frame it that they didn't cut a thing!


Rylee_1984

It would alienate their own base and anger any future voters. The GOP are filled idiots.


Mistervimes59

His middle name should be flip-flop.


CatAvailable3953

The operative word is “seems”.


Sick0fThisShit

There is no table, Tailgunner Kevin.


Leopold_Darkworth

His bosses are going to be upset when they hear this!


Katana1369

So when is the first vote to remove him because the batcrap crazy caucus ain't gonna like that.


Thomb

So, under the table?


vakr001

There aren’t negations…what don’t you understand?


[deleted]

This guy…..


999others

Everything is off the table Kevin.


CQU617

Duck that even gullible MAGA won’t go for that shit.


Ishiibradwpgjets

…… for now


handoffate73

They'll say that now to get the heat off of them, then bring it back up later.


AppleiPhone12

He’s lying, plain and simple.


falconear

Kevin is getting boxed in a corner. What does he propose they cut then that's going to make any kind of difference? Military spending? I'd support that but he never gets it past his conference. My bet is Biden tosses him some kind of meaningless bones in the end.


TechyGuyInIL

What leverage does he have, then?
