Adelson’s wife put more money in this campaign than Musk…
...but, they couldn't, wouldn't and didn't (hang.) Still to be seen and confirmed if this Musk will stand fast in the ranks. Or, if the first time [they] stack indictments and writs on him, or, attempt to blow his head off, or, take his boodle if he doesn't high-tail it and stay high-tailed.
40/60 he stands fast. 60/40 he high tails.

with a Republican in the White House, the pressure will be on to chuck fiscal discipline out the window and abolish the debt ceiling
US to hit debt ceiling as soon as Jan. 14 - Taipei TimesUS Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen in a letter sent to congressional leaders on Friday afternoon said her agency would need to start taking “extraordinary measures” or special accounting maneuvers intended to prevent the nation from hitting the debt ceiling as early as Jan. 14.
“Treasury expects to hit the statutory debt ceiling between January 14 and January 23,” Yellen wrote in a letter addressed to US House and Senate leadership, at which point extraordinary measures would be used to prevent the government from breaching the nation’s debt ceiling — which has been suspended until Wednesday.
The department has in the past deployed what are known as “extraordinary measures” or accounting maneuvers to keep the government operating. However, once those measures run out, the government risks defaulting on its debt unless lawmakers and the president agree to lift the limit on the US government’s ability to borrow.
How to pay for the tax cut?
Trump will lay new taxes -- tariffs.

Snake Boy: debt/deficit dove
It doesn't matter what I am. Nobody cares about the debt/deficit. You included.
thanks for stating the obvious and underscoring my long-standing emphasis
y'all used to pretend to care
You're pretending to care to show that people who used to care no longer do...cool!
You're wrong, I think the death of hypocrisy on the right will be momentous for everyone.
after all, debts and deficits matter, right?
Why do you think they matter?
In your personal opinion, do you think the new administration will take the deficit seriously?
Because they're very important to y'all when Democrats are in charge, and totally de-emphasized whenever Republicans run the show.
Republicans blowing up the debt/deficit with tax cuts and spending is the established generational pattern.
So you don't actually think they're important, you're just crying hypocrisy?
sure, large fiscal imbalances can be problematic, don't you think?
Nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious hypocrisy.
I'm more concerned with the abandonment of hypocrisy, tbh.
Hypocrisy pays virtue the courtesy of pretending to agree and so sets a model for everyone else.
Contempt teases contempt and casual violence.
the Dems don't have the spine for this, tbh
no idea how to wield power, unlike the evil dip s on the other side of the aisle
Tax cuts for rich people is the main priority, everything else is negotiable
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/polit...ans/index.htmlWhile GOP leaders had spoken generally at the Doral, Florida, retreat of a budget that outlined $2.5 trillion in savings, another proposal this week appeared to outline only about $300 billion in savings — by repealing Biden-era programs and adding tougher rules to programs like Medicaid — as well as $300 billion in new spending on border security and other national security measures. (Senior Republicans cautioned that precise details of the budget plan remain highly fluid.)
Conservatives did support those proposals, but they wanted more in cuts. GOP leaders offered to go higher, from roughly $300 billion in cuts to $500 billion to as much as $700 billion. But to Norman and others, it still wasn’t enough. And there was another problem: GOP leadership wasn’t proposing how to pay for Trump’s big tax plans.
“No one has put forward how we’re paying for everything,” one person familiar with the discussions told CNN.
Deficit is not a problem, tbh... we're about to buy Greenland and Gaza... we're rich,
Trump blowing up the deficit again so rich people can get another tax cut
That's nothing more than Trump trollin' his enemies & MSM.
gimmicky and scammy, like the boss
