This is good and all. But if they were to remove all of the bits aimed at giving up on the United States, chopping it up, and giving away the pieces to corpos, there would be nothing left. So maybe it's just better to stop trying to pass any of this big ugly spending bill, and start coming to terms with having put a con artist in the White House who doesn't have the first clue of how to actually solve any of the problems he campaigned on.

If congressmen never voted on double edged swords or poison pill legislation out of principle, they'd all be labeled do-nothing grandstanders like Thomas Massie. While it may work for Massie, as his constituents are smart enough to know voting no on every bill is better than voting yes on a bad one, most congressmen would not survive that for long.

It is, solely, the fault of disinterested constituents that congress get away with passing laws for special interests and corporate lobby rather than the country at large.

It might have something to do with the systematic dismantling of our education system and associated propaganda campaigns convincing the now-uneducated masses that education is evil brainwashing, everyone except white billionaires are actual, literal monsters, voting is pointless, and there's no chance at ever changing anything for the better.

Or maybe several hundred million individual Americans are each bad, lazy people. That sounds more likely.

Well, late Saturday night, secretive $500B in Medicare cuts were added, in addition to further Medicaid cuts topping $1 trillion, for a combined $1.5T in cuts to poor, disabled, and elderly people who will die or go homeless as a result. No one is paying attention.

The next generation's inheritance has already been spent. Let's not spend any more of their kid's inheritance. We can't afford to kick this can down the road forever, because the road isn't infinite. If we run out of road, everyone might be homeless.

Great, raise taxes and cut spending even further. But taxes never get (meaningfully) raised.

Exactly. Any discussion about US debt as a barrier to economic process when there are so many other avenues for the state to make revenue is either ignorant at best or disingenuous at worst.
