Gas isn't low here in the mid Atlantic. It was $3.30 the other day. Was $2.99 back in spring
I was living in DFW in January, I think it was around $2.90s
Can any Texans tell me what it is now?

And selling t-shirts for a prison? Im not opposed to the idea of the prison. Alligators, razor wire, guns, they all hurt. Whatever. But this glorification of hurting prisoners is dumb. I think the GOP is 5 years from not just selling t-shirts, but camera feeds to prisoners v alligators. And what happens when 5 prisoners break out with machetes? They kill 3 gators, PETA sues, Florida Fish and Wildlife sues, and it gets shut down. It goes into history books as one of the dumbest things ever.... and 100 years from now, my descendants discover that I handed them a treasure trove.... 10 made in China GOP-sold alligator prison XXXXXLs because by that time we will be obese and living on spaceships.

You would think but leave this board and hop on another platform and you will probably get a different impression.
FTR I, too, hate this bill. I hate when democrats pretend to care about spending and the budget almost as much as I hate when republicans pretend to care about the deficit then proceed to do exactly what the democrats do.
There really are basically no more fiscal conservatives left in either party. That's a huge problem.

Both parties attempt to buy votes with money we don't have.
However I much prefer the Republican agenda; so I consider the money well spent.

1. Move the Overton Window on law enforcement brutality
2. Encourage and embolden cruelty among the populace
3. Make a "joke" of due process violations
4. Sell merchandise and profit from human misery

At least you're being honest about it. Most can't do that.

CBO is a joke, for anything other than political spin. It uses static calculations, arbitrary rules. For example, the Trump Tax cuts expire this year. For that reason, CBO rules require them to establish the reversion (higher) tax rates as the benchmark for 2025. So any bill passed in 2025 "extending" those rates or making them permanent is, by CBO definition, a tax cut (even though all we're doing is extending current tax rates.) and on and on and on....FLBear5630 said:I guess Musk is brilliant for SpaceX, Tesla, and others.

Cherry pick much?
The Bill is a monstrosity. There is no way you can be serious about cutting the deficit, balancing the budget and passing this bill. It is a shell game. DOGE was never about reducing spending, that is how he sold it to you. It was about getting rid of programs he doesn't like, restrictions on businesses he wants and a vendetta against those he doesn't like.
It was not and is not about lowering spending, Trump has NEVER lowered spending in his life. It was what you and the others on this Board wanted to hear to get your support.

Really soft ground you're fighting on here.
Porteroso said:
Cutting revenue at the same time you increase spending, and yet Repubs want to say it won't add so much to the deficit. You guys should listen yo yourselves. If you have an alternate projection, let's hear it, but the CBO has stuck to the same rules for a long time, and generally is in the ballpark most times.
