WAPO: "Hegseth Set to Seek 8% Spending Shift at Pentagon as DOGE Looms:

we getting a $5000 rebate off the defense budget savings? So in this scenario Trump is going to sign a bill with increased budget and not actually spend the money. Clown world never stops.

I can live with that :grinning:.

Damn, you had to TRY to come up with something that inane!

Too late

Trump et al fired the C-JCS and the woman squid.

It’s on CNN, I’m not paying for a subscription.

Well, now there won’t be reductions in spending for at least half a year, since Trump’s surrendered and is pushing for a clean CR continuing current spending levels until October. So there’s that.

I believe his stance is something like
The debt ceiling is not doing its job.
We keep raising it we just windup in a showdown every six months so, what’s the point?

Does anyone really think we are NOT going to raise it next time or the time after?

I just feel like bumping this thread.
I’m not sure why.

Oh . . .
Now I remember why.
