Trump did have some more spending than usual due to the pandemic, but Biden is the all time king of massive overspending in the US, and particularly deficit spending, and mostly for a political agenda. And much of it is for nonsense like dealing with "racist roads" or being CHicken Little on steroids over climate alarmism.

And the very worst of what tyrant Biden is doing is inflicting the IRS tax audit Gestapo on the middle class and small business. That fool McCarthy only cut the 87,000 new IRS aufitors from 87,000 to 85,200. Most middle class taxpayers have to pay their own accountants and go through a terrifying procedure, even if everything is squeaky clean. If the IRS Gestapo does find something to quibble about, the IRS loses a majority of their claims in tax court, so there is another huge expense for a small business or middle class taxpayer. The failure of McCarthy and his flunky Murphy to completely drive a stake through the heart of that monster makes both enemies of the middle class.

Fact. The huge increase in European electric rates happened BEFORE the Ukraine war. Deal with it, moron. German electric rates, for example, were three times what we pay in North Carolina, as a result of expensive and unreliable wind and solar.

"Destroy our way of life." What does that mean?

Check with the women in most red states. They will splain it to you.

Hooray for Ted Budd. He is a real Republican, unlike that swamp rat traitor Greg Murphy. I am not voting for Murphy ever again. He has completely lost our trust. Walter Jones was a hero on this type of bill for many years, and now we have a go-along coward representing us instead in the House.

Or maybe allowing runaway deficite spending and runaway inflation pushing us toward 1923 Germany or current Venezuela is not such a good idea either.

Truth and your globalist / progressive narrative are not the same, and in fact are often opposite, Bobbie. There are numerous links to articles on the massive cost of wind and solar over conventional energy in Europe and elsewhere at this Australian based site:
www.stopthesethings.com It is not just Europe. The Labour Party in the state of South Australia, for example, in eliminating coal and moving to wind and solar took the state from the lowest residential electric rates in the world to the highest in the world (they are even higher than Germany, although the national average is lower than Germany since many other Australian states rely more on coal).

You might even search the BO for an article on the massive electric price rises in Europe BEFORE the Ukraine war as one was posted here.

Your opinions of what is "true" are pure BS, Bobbie and they reflect nothing but your ideological viewpoint.

Or maybe letting the government default isn't a very good idea?

Translated, when Bolshevik Bob posts "none of this is true" as he frequently does, what it really means is "none of this conforms to the progressive narrative". You see, Bobbie confuses the leftwing narrative with "the truth" when the two very often have nothing at all in common.

Absolutely, none of this is true.

The problem that Republicans have are the swampy Democrat collaborators like Mitch McConnell, and it is now very clear, Kevin McCarthy. We have the same problem in the General Assembly with collaborators Tim Moore and Phil Berger. We need to deal with them and their lackeys in the primaries, including Greg Murphy and Jim Perry locally. These sellouts are quislings.
