This is the big one here in Project 2025, if they succeed in cutting Medicare/Social Security, the economy for sure is going to crash. It’s pretty much the last step in collapsing the US Government.
Just so everyone knows, dismantling/closing The Federal Reserve is also a goal.

At some point there’s going to be a “straw” that breaks the camel’s back so to speak and the revolt will get ugly. You can only push people so far before someone snaps.

Well dems, now you have something to bring to the old folks when you’re campaigning that shouldbe pretty hard to ignore. Just show them your opponents name in the yes column on this vote and ask them how they plan on getting by without social security or health care starting in 2028.

They support a billion dollar war, but not their constituents health. Americans need to remember the choice when the vote, if they will be able to vote. These bastards are trying to control the voting process. Get involved America!

Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.
For nearly two decades, Trump has been lying about elections and threatening the democratic process.
far too few people in positions of power have been willing to act. The result is that things have only gotten worse.
Big Law has retreated from fighting Trump in court. The legacy media treats election denialism as normal and offers both-sides coverage. Corporate leaders no longer even pretend to care about democracy. The Republican Party is filled with his enablers.
It didn’t have to be this way.

The GOP playbook is so predictable: 1. Pass tax cuts that balloon the deficit. 2. Point at the deficit and scream “We’re broke!” 3. Gut the only programs that keep seniors out of poverty. If you’re under 40 and voting for this, you’re basically voting to work until you drop dead at your desk.

Of course they did. They know it’s not something that would pass the Senate, so they can vote on it and pretend like they are doing something.

Republicans have been trying to destory all New Deal policies for almost 100 years. Republicans will always try to destory what little social services we have becuase that is part of the Republican platform.

When it said amendment I thought it meant like an addition to a bill they’re already working on, as stuff like that happens a lot.
But no, they’re talking about a true Constitutional Amendment. Like, an addition to the Constitution specifically to make American lives worse under the guise of “balancing the budget,” which they would do by eliminating “non-critical” programs like SNAP and Medicare while keeping things like defense spending, obviously “critical,” untouched.
The amendment also includes a provision where spending more on war only requires a majority vote where spending more on anything else requires 2/3 of the House.
This Congress’s priorities are so out of whack it’s insane.

Nearly every Republican is a selfish, uneducated, ignorant, egocentric, self-serving pos no? People who haven’t suffered and come from entitled backgrounds.

So $200 billion for a new war. But no money for Medicare or Social Security. Honestly Republican supporters why are you still voting republican. I truly don’t understand.
deltadal on
So they force spending limits on the government and then limit the ability of lawmakers to increase taxes.
THEY KNOW THEY ARE LIKELY ABOUT TO LOOSE MAJORITIES IN BOTH HOUSES. THIS LOCKS IN THIER TAX CUTS, FUCKS THE WORKING CLASS, AND PULLS THE LADER UP BEHIND THEM.
Fuck them, the GOP knows democrats won’t be able to fix this mess and will loose thier majorities when shit hits the fan. Then republicans will point and go “well would you look at that meme” and blame democrats for the mess and short attention span/memory voters will elect republicans who will go right back to trying to get thier 1000 year Christian MAGA Reich in place.

I’m fine with balanced budgets if it includes 1) a proportional taxation on wealthy people 2) taxation of corporations who somehow skirt paying shit 3) we stop funding fucking unlimited wars and Israel. I mean we should all want that. But they want to balance it by fucking the non billionaires and only removing our safety nets.

The GOP is the party of hurting Americans.
>The [proposed amendment](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-joint-resolution/139/text), led by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), would effectively [prohibit](https://biggs.house.gov/media/press-releases/icymi-congressman-biggs-introduces-balanced-budget-amendment-end-washingtons) the federal government from deficit spending, with an exception for declared wars.
…..
>Nonpartisan analysts have [estimated](https://www.crfb.org/blogs/obbba-dynamic-score-comes-47-trillion) that the GOP [budget](https://www.commondreams.org/tag/budget) law would add more than $4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.
