    If the OT puts you over $100,000...it doesn't apply. So those plumbers, electricians, Mechanics and other tradesmen do not benefit from this.

    republicans are really saying right now that this bill reduces the deficit…Mike Johnson really just said that

    these idiots live in an alternate reality…a different world…a different segment of space and time

    they lie so damn much

    these people will steal something while smiling and waving at the camera in 4k, then say it wasn’t them when the evidence is produced

    Idk how u can go through life lying as easily as u breathe…no shame, no morals, no integrity whatsoever

    Another fun one. I have a family member in grad school in Texas rightfully freaking out about the caps on student loans for grad students.

    Its all they really do, and those 5-7 "upset" gop members who opposed were bought out by "merch" and one even said trump would change it in the future..............my goodness the gop members are just cucks. It will take time for everyone to feel the pain, but its coming and we will some in maga asking, where did that come from and the rest will just go along so they can be part of the rich kids while they cant go to the DR or feed their kids, all that to own the Libs :rolleyes: I shouldn't be shocked, but the way people bend the knee to trump is shocking, they will vote to stay in favor while screwing the people who voted for them

    They’re not conservative . Neither are the people on here. The modern Republican Party must be stopped. There isn’t an ounce of fiscal conservative in any of their approaches

    And yet in the long run, the most important thing will likely be the near-complete repeal of all of Biden's climate initiatives and the encouragement of things that accelerate our climate crisis. A hotter and more unstable planet for yourself and your kids, siding with cancer, reducing our ability to deal with disasters, closing rural hospitals, and creating the largest secret police force in history is quite the choice.

    They love Evangelicals because they are truly groomed to have unquestioning blind faith

    The Republican base general DO NOT QUESTION Their leadership AT ALL
    They RESEARCH nothing

    Think of everyone you know and pick out the people you would least trust with secret police power. That is who they will hire.

    According to Ray Dalio, debt to gdp will run 130% after this bill unless we dramatically cut spending (which will not happen), dramatically raise taxes (which we won’t) or dramatically increase productivity (lol).
    While the spending buckets might have been different under Harris, the amount would have been the same.

    also, we have r****ds here who have said debt to gdp doesn’t matter because Japan runs 200% and according to these same idiots, Japan is doing awesome. Now these say idiots are now saying the bill is terrible.

    I worked as a security guard in 1986 at the Austin Country Club. The clubhouse attendants there made great money. Minimum wage plus tips equaled up to hundreds of dollars a day.

    I'm also friends with a professional bartender, he works Texans games/Rodeo etc.../his day job is bartender at Carabas. He does very well.

    I know a couple of waiters ar Republic Grill/Ruth's Christ and they do very well.

    As a waiter it can be a job until you get another job, or it can be a career. It's hard work and everybody should have to work for a week at a restaurant for a week to appreciate how hard that job is.
