    Money talks. I doubt that Speaker Johnson regularly texts with "regular citizens" about how he is going to vote on the budget bill like he does with Mr. Musk

      Oh, there's more. A LOT more:

      Title I Division B, page 25: $3 million dollars for molasses inspections.

      Section 21306, page 101: Skirts Statutory PAYGO so the government doesn’t have to pay for programs by offsetting spending elsewhere.

      Section 21306, Page 102: Declares our Statutory PAYGO scorecard is zero. Congress does this because if Statutory PAYGO is above zero it triggers sequestration. It’s as if Congress is declaring we have not added a dime to the deficit from direct spending the last 2 years.

      Section 205, Page 133: Allow gasoline with up to 15% ethanol to be sold year round. This subsidy for corn farmers is unrelated to keeping the government open.

      Section 1002, page 938: Exempts Members of Congress from having to enroll in Obamacare.

      Section 1202, Page 328: Defines “music tourism.” Not sure what “music tourism” has to do with keeping the government open.

      Section 208, Page 1400: Redefines “criminal offender” to “justice-involved individual.”

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I've often lamented what a shame it is that billionaires don't have more influence in the political process.

        I was only joking

                    Oligarchs come in all forms, the common denominator among all is their worship of the power their money brings them.

                          It’s a photo of the son, or Crown Prince of Darkness in the World, of the currently designated Antichrist, George Soros.
