Two weeks ago, CTH warned everyone that Joe Manchin’s torpedoing of the $500 billion Green New Deal senate spending program was a head fake; he was always going to sign up to expand the control of the federal government over energy use. Today Manchin and Chuck Schumer made it official.
The people operating the “energy transition” levers will get $370 billion to spend on bigger windmills, more solar panels and new energy programs to eliminate coal, oil and natural gas. They will pay for it by raising taxes and hiring a new army of IRS enforcement officials. In exchange for his vote, the federal government will pay increased health insurance subsidies for West Virginians and pass out lower priced medications.
There you go. Exactly as predicted. Energy inflation will continue as the energy transition becomes a permanent feature. Ironically, Joe Manchin made them change the name to “The Inflation Reduction Act,” and pushed the effective dates for all renewals past the 2024 election (where he plans to be a candidate against Gavin Newsom).
WASHINGTON – Joe Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday reached a deal on a bill that includes energy and tax policy, a turnaround after the two deadlocked earlier this month in talks on Democrats’ marquee party-line agenda. In a joint statement, the two Democrats said the legislation will be on the Senate floor next week. It includes roughly $370 billion in energy and climate spending.
[…] The duo said their bill, dubbed “The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,” would “fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, and reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030.” Moreover, as part of the agreement announced Wednesday, Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi agreed to pass legislation governing energy permits.
[…] Democrats will raise revenues for the legislation by imposing a 15 percent corporate minimum tax, increasing IRS enforcement, reducing drug prices and closing the so-called carried interest loophole. Notably, the legislation also extends the Affordable Care Act subsidies through the 2024 election and the first term of Joe Biden’s presidency, taking a big political headache off the table for Democrats.

Look deeper into the people in Joe Manchin’s life that are tied to the healthcare industry. There you will find the familial beneficiaries of the deal. “Besides being Joe Manchin’s daughter, Heather Manchin Bresch, born 1969, spent several years as the CEO of Netherlands-based pharmaceutical company Mylan. She held the post from 2012, but stood down in November 2020, as a result of the company’s merging with Pfizer’s Upjohn outfit. Upon assuming the role, Heather Mamchin became the first woman to run a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company.” LINK
The scheming strategery of Joe Manchin is as predictable as the scheming strategery of Mitch McConnell.
The two wings of the UniParty duck seem still on the surface. This type of ploy is exactly how DC is able to operate, paddling forward furiously, just below the surface; and almost no one can see what is happening.
Once you see the strings on the political marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them. However, because too few people see them, almost everyone congregates in the lobby during the mid-term intermission asking, “hey, when did Texas become dependent on windmills?”
It is exactly what this Country needs…. more IRS agents.
Don’t worry–they’re only for Trump contributors.
I’m quite serious.
So are they. They’re running low on Jan 6 protesters.
Won’t bother me a bit. I opted out of payng federal income tax when I restored my political status as an American State National. Go ye forth, and do likewise.

I am educating myself about this.
It does get confusing.
Where do you start ?
this site has good info and links to the site mentioned above…contact your state coordinator. My paperwork is almost done and will be submitted in the next week or two.

armed IRS agents. Remember that obutthead & biden armed them during their previous reign.
Sh*t they gave weapons to the Dep of Education, the FDA, and the Agriculture folks. Remember?
Yep
I just watched the film HEAT again last night …. and let me predict the IRS will treat us as “bank robbers” and unleash a hail of their bullets should we attempt to protect our “wealth” … their bullets … lots of em
https://stillnessinthestorm.com/2022/06/the-irs-is-buying-up-ammo-while-the-government-intends-to-make-it-harder-for-citizens-to-acquire/
Make no mistake, the government is now coming for our wealth. Did you save your money and act prudently? Well, that’s not … “equit-a-ble” … that’s “white” privilege. So the IRS will soon come to TAKE your wealth and redistribute it to fake Indians like Lieawatha and fake descendants of slaves. It’s coming … make no mistake
That’s why you need more and more ammo, b/c I am afraid it is coming down to.
When does construction begin on West Virginia’s new Joe Manchin Museum of Pork?
A: When they finish the Exalted Cyclops Memorial Freeway that leads to it.
This is actually a vote against his own state which tells you who Joe Manchin is and what his real plan is, POTUS. He has been put at the top of the list for 2024. The drugs he will provide will be fentanyl, cocaine, oxy, etc. I would look for a cave on the filibuster soon.
Same as it ever was , same as it ever was
….’in the end, you are exactly, what you are…..’
Yup… I think Joe Manchin was heard singing this after making the deal with Schumer. (foul language warning)
You can never have too many IRS agents or windmills /s. I pray for the day we overthrow these people.
Agreed. How do we go about making that happen? I am serious. I cannot come up with a plan that does not involve violence, likely military response, etc. No more Tea Party fizzles, either. Separation?
If we could get one state with the balls to do it.
My friends we are in deep Spiritual Territory NOW! We win but we must first suffer. And here we are.
I refuse to support secession. Screw these jackoffs. This is our country. We need to kick them all out of it and exile them, never allowing any of them to ever return again. They don’t deserve the blessings this great country has afforded them, and they certainly don’t deserve to continue freely breathing our air. Send them to the socialist paradise of their choice and keep them out.
I couldn’t agree more.
Love it or leave it !
has morphed into …
Hate it or leave it !
I Vote: Love it or leave it
Getting Governors with enough guts to cut off the flow of funds to their state from the federal government and letting the states be more independent, as was intended. “Extreme federalism”.
….and funds for a new dress for AOC
If you’re waiting for God to send someone to do it, your prayers have been answered: He sent you. Get with the program.

Are you really sure you want to be peddling this BS at the Tree House?
I don’t want to get into a debate about it in this forum, but the organization you are promoting has been completely discredited.
And if I were you I would be really careful about what taxes you decide not to pay.
He’s going to earn free room and board in the six foot by nine foot concrete Hilton for a very long time. He’ll be free there and won’t have to pay any taxes.
Seneca, thanks for saying something.
I know someone who “gave up USA citizenship to become a citizen of her state” and gave up her drivers license.. and I think her birth certificate.
I thought it was ridiculous.
That WAS rediculous. If done incorrectly you CAN wind up in a heap of trouble. All the proper remedies exist within the law but they must be exercised carefully. And just as an example, if you hear anyone preaching about the joys of becoming a “sovereign citizen” they’re barking up the wrong tree and probably WILL end up in jail; the term is an oxymoron.
Anna vonrietz
So you dispute that the u.s. and your state are corporation entities ?
Before popping off, some might want to do a little research.
That way, you won’t look silly while singing the praises of Joe Manchin the great patriot.
Yes, plenty here were doing just that.
Thank you!
By whom, exactly, and how, precisely? Have you actually performed any reasearch ?
What I would like is a straightforward , step by step process.
I realize how lazy that makes me sound.
$370 Billion here, $370 Billion there. Pretty soon you’re talking real money.
After printing and blowing $9 trillion, any number of billions is a joke to them.
No prisons. The French Revolution had some things in perspective.
No quarter given!
A tax audit in every pot.
To say that I am infuriated with yet more outrages, is to belittle the words used to describe the depths of what I feel.
I’m just waiting for the day that is soon coming. May God have mercy on us all.
Those people will stop at nothing to undermine the Constitution and ruin the American culture.
It will not end by conventional means, by that I mean voting for the best worst asswipe in the crowd.
The constitution stops none of this. It gave all powers to these anointed assholes who only care about themselves. We need to overthrow the very idea of giving anyone 2-4 uninterrupted years to sow corruption and install evil judges. The box were thinking in is wet and tattered.
Bingo
I M not sure what is wrong with West Virginia. They keep voting for this guy who is guaranteed to fail when he is really needed. The worst kind of politician. The one you want to count on but cannot. Just like Murkowski, Romney, Collins. They all need to be flushed.
I’m thinking that the entirety of the Atlantic States need to slide off on, and over, the Continental Shelf – straight into the Abyss!
C’mon Gaia … do us a solid, will ya..
Are you kidding? It’s WEST VIRGINIA.
I don’t know a soul who voted for Manchin. Everyone I know despises him, Native Virginian.
Dominion voted for him and the rest of the scumbags.
Ditto!
Between rigged elections/voter fraud and the ignorance of so many of the populace, this is what we get.
Reminds me of the “Cornhusker Kickback” ~ 🤦♀️
Maybe here in West Virginia we will call it the Manchin Coalhuckster’s Killshot.
I knew this chicken💩 Manchin was a closet anti coal “green weeny”. While he was running for senator, he used his hunting rifles to shoot Obama’s cap and trade plan. What Manchin didn’t tell you is, as governor, he signed the Alternative and Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard, which was a WV cap and trade law. Manchin wanted WV energy to be 25% “renewable” by 2025. Over Manchin’s objections, The Republican State Legislature repealed his nonsense. Manchin the “moderate’ is a fraud.
Deliverance banjo pickers ?
James Dickey set that scene in Northern GA. Enough already. We hate Manchin.
It’s called inbreeding.
Nasty, J.C.
I hate these people… I’m out of words to describe my anger.
The Tree of Liberty is suffering through a SEVERE drought. I sure hope a change to that state of affairs is on the horizon.
Your “tree” holds the rope that will hang us… because USA is no longer USA.
These systems worked for much smaller populations, not where we are now. I wish I could predict the follow up act but this one is over.
Not even the best system can function with immoral people in positions of power/authority.
And those officials come from among “us” who have generally lost our “virtue” the Founders warned us was absolutely needed for the nation to function.
We point fingers (rightly so) at these officials but rarely look at ourselves in terms of where our “values” (both what we do and believe and what we “accept” in our depraved culture) have sunk to.
Much easier to blame others.
It ain’t over. Only to quitters
There’s only two things you can ever count on Manchin for….when he ll give in and what price. He’s a Democrat for a reason.
Democrat / Republican
matters not.
The internal combustion engine is now a crime.
Rockefeller built the America that surpassed the Europeans. Finally the Europeans get their revenge.
The America that is can only be saved by new Americans. Young people or immigrants. Generations of leftist college professors intended to created the useless young Americans that populate our schools and our bureaucracies. Business people who loathe business? Yeah, in modern America they are commonplace.
Sadly, the countries on earth with the most potential (India, Brazil etc.) are mostly held back by government corruption. Predictably, the Democrat Party is now the Party of corruption. Biden and Clinton are admired for their skill at collecting bribes. The notion of neo-feudalism – that wealth should rightfully migrate to a few, while most should rightfully be poor – drives this world view.
Your opening was fine, but, sorry, Raptors2023, you lost me after your first sentence.
This is very impressive and will likely save humanity.
I will wager that this additional $370 billion will persuade the Sun and the Earth to lower what would otherwise be the temperature of earth 1,000 years from now by .000000000000000000001 degree.
What is it with West Virginians? Get him of the ballot and get a republican in there…..
Him and Capito are the perfect illustration of two wings of the same bird. It’s all about political dynasty, as same as the Bushes or the Kennedys. Capito’s daddy was Gov. Arch Moore. Might as well be a feudal state.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_A._Moore_Jr.
Exactly. The Manchin and Moore/Capito crime family dynasty are as thick as thieves. Because they are thieves.
MAGA
I prefer to think of it as the Uniparty Dodo bird.
Never trusted Money Manchin or Cuck Schumer. I hope the people of WV remembers and boots him in 2024.
China Mitch sold out the party he represents, again.
They probably aren’t even paying attention and it’s not like the media will make a big deal of it.
Call it what it is, thievery.
Remember that scene in movie “Independence Day” where the aliens take out D. C.?
The whole audience cheered in the theater where we watched it.
They gave Manchin an offer he couldn’t refuse after he caught the China Virus…
🤔
Yes, Sundance, you did call it on 15 Jul. And, so did I in my comment to your piece.
Anyone who has any faith or trust in any politician today — ‘repeat the line’…’any politician’ — has sealed their fate.
Best of luck to you.
This is why our faith must be in God not men.
Amen
Our faith in manning a rifle pays dividends among faithful.
Sundance is truly a genius. I was starting to have some respect for Manchin for blocking Biden’s radical proposals but I just lost it all for good. Everyone who said he can’t be trusted was spot on.
If the Democrats gain one seat in the midterms then look for Manchin to support blowing up the filibuster and packing the SCOTUS with radical left judges.
Manchin has always been a fraud.
He was good at hiding his true self this past year when he “bucked” the Dems’ plans. Now, apparently, cryin’ Chuck Schumer made him a deal he can’t refuse.
FCS and FJM.
That IS his true self. He’s always played this game.
If inflation DOES go down(not because prices fall, but because of sundance’s Lemon example – EX. A lemon goes from $0.49 to $0.99 today. And next year remains $0.99 ! Technically inflation is at 0%) – Schumer and the left will say that it was government spending and green energy subsidies that defeated the inflation monster, therefore we need more of it.
Vomit.
Sounds like Manchin’s idea of a deal is to give Schumer everything he wanted.
Disgusting. Get rid of every Dem in the Senate and every RINO. It will take several more election cycles, but we can’t put up with this useless spending and money laundering (you know it’s happening!).
Ha, got it.
Climate Change predates man. It predates monkeys. It is caused by the sun and to a lessor degree the earth, yet puny little man, with his overblown ego, thinks he is controlling it or can control it. This is like Asope’s Fly on a Chariot Wheel with the fly’s “oh, what a dust I raise”. If stupidity were comedy, it would be the entertainment of an eternity.
Of all God’s creatures, man is the most ridiculous.
“Climate Change.” Strictly a Dem, NWO propaganda issue.
This summer, I read “John Adams” by David McCullough and just finished his book “1776.” Both books describe the weather they (the citizens) were experiencing on numerous occasions. Snow and hail in March, warm days in December followed by snowstorms, etc. It is weather, dam* it. No different in the 1770s than it is now.
It’s because these people are Godless and worship the created rather than the Creator. They do not believe that Jesus Christ holds the world together in His hands, as His Witd says. and this Earth will not be destroyed until He say so and lets in burn. Therefore God gave them over to reprobate minds, not be able to think rationally and believing any demonic influenced efforts to hurt and destroy man. They throw viable ” fetuses” in the trash bucket for Gods sake you think they care about the masses suffering under their “green” agenda…they do not.
We also are in the early years of a grand solar minimum…. things will be cooling off for several more years at least…. and may not return back to “normal” until 2050 or so…. I think that has much to do with the frenzied race to shut down the entire world’s economy and pass all these oppressive, wicked, wasteful energy “deals” that harm all people with suffering and/or poverty if not outright starvation…. The globalists will note the lower global averages in 5 to 10 years and claim that “we” did it…. and use it as another lie to try to justify their tyranny and wickedness and demand our total surrender of ourselves, our children and our unalienable, God-given rights to them “mankind’s heroes”.
I think you are close to the truth.
They know something is coming that we don’t.
Read the Bible, then you will know exactly what is coming.
They believe the fallen angels, when they say that satan will win.
Remember, watch for the “mother ships”.
I don’t believe that there’s 10 years left.
There could be, but the son of perdition will rule for 7 of them.
I thought manchin tested positive for chnavirus and had to self quarantine. What’s he doing making a deal with schumer?
It’s a heavy blow. Up until now there had been no specific congressional approval for the Green New Deal, meaning that Biden’s transing and queering of the nation’s energy systems was being perpetrated unconstitutionally, as the Supreme Court just ruled regarding the EPA’s war on CO2 (the beginning of the food chain for all life on earth).
On the plus side, Manchin will now be indelibly marked as a Green New Dealer, which should make him poisonous to the national electorate come 2024, where the pork he landed for his local constituencies will do him little good.
He had been establishing a credible reputation for holding the line against the totalitarian communist craziness of the rest of the Democratic Party, which made him a credible candidate for 2024. So at least that is gone. Would still much rather have somebody holding the line.
There are big rewards for any Democrat willing to do that: a voice of sanity in the Democratic Party. Surely there are a few others who might stand up and actually represent their voters who are having their lives destroyed by the Democrats’ declared war on the modern world.
So maybe there is a chance we will see someone else spell political doom for those who don’t.
Do we have ANY representation in Congress, or is our purpose simply to foot the bills for these insane, useless (or harmful) to consumers, bills, until taxpayers are bankrupt, starving and destitute? These so-called representatives” are stomach turning, selfish money mongers, and must have our great Founders turning in their graves. Shame on theses unethical, selfish “representatives” who only cut deals to benefit themselves. They are truly the bottom of the barrell traitors to those they supposedly represent.
Dear Right Wing,
Bingo! Our job is to foot the bill!
That is all they need us for. Really, that’s it!
Welcome to tax donkey status.
Also have a bill to fund chip companies to return here so we’re not dependent on China. Meanwhile all the solar panels, windmills and lithium batteries are made there. And oh by the way they don’t have enough to go around to support the green new deal. Our dependence on China manufactured products will grow even worse.
All those who thought people like Manchin and Tulsi Gabbard were good…
The Global Warming Cultists are committing roguery and error all over the earth. These power mad and money grubbing fraudsters are trying to convert simple changes in the weather into an engine with which to enslave mankind to filch ever more power and ever more wealth to themselves. These Mad Hatters have, in fact, declared war on all of science, sanity and humanity. They are the plague.
When the heck will this fraud actually be called out for what it is; exactly that.
when the group that we may not name can be named and shamed openly and with great agreance
How evil do you have to be to be so willing to screw over so many people and make them paupers?
Daddy must be proud of his little girl and she is so proud of Daddy selling out and the Coal industry can now hire the coal workers to make lots of windmills that will be blown up by lighting (May God work on this )
Not nearly so evil as to laugh about it afterwards…
Just so I’m crystal clear, there will be NO stopping these people until they are forcibly stopped. And by forcibly, I’m not talking about voting, or elections or those types of useless shenanigans.
These megalomaniacs are insulated by a political shroud, protected by layers of security reserved only for kings and gods, and utterly unconcerned with the rest of America. In fact, they detest us.
And don’t forget, they have a standing army and We the People do not.
Well, you made my point for me. Wasn’t gonna say it, figured somebody else would.
Maybe if we all dressed as trannies, the standing army won’t shoot us.
Their standing army is no match for us in a guerrilla war.
WOLVERINES!
One battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.
True if you are lined up in mass formations. Otherwise it is a sledge hammer trying to kill a fly.
Tell that to the Viet Cong.
Guerillas don’t fight like the Romans, Napoleon, or the Redcoats.
Gorilla Warfare is what beat the United States in Vietnam.
yeah, those gorillas are tough sons o’ b1tches
(don’t let that one with the kitten fool you)
That was my point. Every hunter is a sniper. You aren’t going to beat that with a conventional standing army. Even 1% is 4 million.
No, actually it isn’t.
Vietnam was never meant to be won.
Look back at the 60s and see how much of the same chaotic elements are going on today.
Rapid fire chaos in every aspect of society.
Ask the Vietnam vets if they were ever comfortable in any city or town in South Vietnam.
Every citizen a potential threat.
Precisely my point.
Lead and cordite.
Don’t forget that asteroid heading towards Earth.
Traitors. Every one of them.
Build Back Better has been renamed the Inflation Reduction Act. Read up on the Convention of States, they are not that far away from having enough states to call for a vote to eliminate federal controls.
C of S is a long shot but rapidly becoming our only hope in restoring the Republic.
The Convention of States would only allow the states to discuss amendments that, “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.”
Notice also that all of these deals (include the Fed rate hike) are coming out ahead of the recession news. People are gonna be pissed, but the Government doesn’t give a s**t about its citizens anymore.
The housing market is going to collapse. I think that’s the other target here. They need to destroy WEALTH of regular Americans, and you do that by crashing home values.
and their 401K’s
There is very little difference in the communist actions and corruption of these DC pieces of human waste and most other communist regimes in history. The only difference with this bunch of garbage is they’re still afraid of armed citizens.
Does IRS enforcement mean they can access our bank accounts without a warrant? And if this creates carbon tax and farmer fertilizer cuts like in Europe? The details are sketchy.
A darned good question, Jvlovesk. On top of a lot of others which will no doubt make themselves apparent as we learn a lot more about this grotesque bill.
A leopard can NEVER change its spots.
Well done Senator “Moderate Democrat”. People like you and Schumer never change your stripes. Our Government won’t survive two-faces like these democrats
Wings are starting to come off the economic plane. President Trump needs to come back now! If we want a soft landing.
More reason for term limits too. Career politicians are parasites, destroying our country.
We would be better served with a Congress chosen by lot than this bunch of scum.
They want to term limit the Supreme Court but not themselves.
No surprise to those who pay attention. Obviously the voters of WV haven’t been….will this wake them up??
I have another question, how do I not hate these people? I am Christian and I try not to have hate in my heart, but I really really hate these people. I mean it is the “struggle to pray for their souls if they died” type of hate.
Jv, others of us here have expressed the same sentiment.
Myself, I like to phrase it this way:
Dear God forgive me – I am spectacularly failing the command to love my enemies.
God hates that which should be hated. So should we.
This is a good point! Jesus offered the Sumerian woman at the well Salvation even when she was still in sin BUT He despised the pharicees and the money exchangers at the temple. There definitely is a difference. I am going to pray about this. Thank you so much for your message!! It really made me think deeper! God Bless you and your family!
Comes a time God says do NOT pray for them
” Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.”
Jeremiah 11:14
To you as well. Keep the faith.
You have a problem with hating the minions of satan?
There is such a thing, I believe, as righteous hatred, hatred for the things that Almighty God Himself hates.
And as such, that’s the hatred that I feel.
Perhaps these words of Jesus Christ will help you to forgive.
Matt. 5:43-48 (KJV):
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Although we are to love sinners, it is correct to hate the sin itself:
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Psalm 97:10 – Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There are other verses as well that indicate we are to hate the sin itself but love the sinner.
Hate keeps me warm.
I’m afraid to ask SD his thoughts on how this all ends. Unfortunately I think I see.
At the pointy end of a rifle. It is only a question of which side will be holding it.
“It includes roughly $370 billion in energy and climate spending”
We have come to a point where the DC bandits are spending hundreds of billions on “climate”. Completely absurd. Why not just spend a trillion on rainbow ponies and unicorns for every child. Or how about a “Free Pudding Cups For Everyone” bill.
I’m pretty sure pudding cups have a small carbon footprint.
in the end manchin and sinema are sellout demoturds
the uniparty rinocraats are all treasonious scum sucking pigs!!
where were beijing mitch and spineless kevin mccarthy – dead quiet!!
Hey Joe be sure and hug your daughter and tell her how great she is, what a great Father you are and how you just kissed of your country, your state and anyone that had an inkling on what kind of a man you are. All for power, money and keeping the Dems happy. You have just lost all respect and the hardworking coal miners can join the Keystone Pipe line workers making windmills that will blow up during a lighting storm (God do your thing) May God help our Country from these evil doers
The daughter that jacked up Epipen prices to eye watering unaffordability for millions whose lives or the lives of their children depend on them? That one?
The nut did not fall far from the tree.
15% minimum corporate tax =global corporate minimum tax., which has been ordered by the EU a few days ago.
Manchin just sold the United States out to the WEF…by the back door and in the most traitorous and despicable way.
Last Corp out, please close the door!
The last one, MR, won’t have to turn out the light… it has been dark for a long, long time.
How pray tell does borrowing these monies (300 Billion) reduce the deficit?
What would lead you to believe that anyone is interested in reducing the deficit?
A decade or so ago one of my liberal friends was browbeating me that Obama didn’t need to worry about budget deficits or the national debt and could spend all he wanted
The nearest explanation I could semi-discern was “BECAUSE KRUGMAN”
Why even ear mark it? Just to drive us “crazier than a bag of birds”? These clowns must’ve had some ‘Ludes in the deep freezer because all of them look really calm as they finalize the sale of U.S.
LOL
Well, when the 300 billion goes into the pols pockets it reduces their deficits.
These are billions of dollars that we do not have. Not to mention all the billions going to Ukraine to keep their mouths shut about the Bidens’ fraud there…. totally despicable.
I have a headache, RP.
