This isn’t a socialist supported pipeline, the US government isn’t paying for the expansion.
Businesses are paying for it now if it’s to go forward. And companies don’t make billion dollar investments when there is no ROI on the horizon.
The fact is, Republicans’ 2017 tax reform law did exactly what was promised: It lowered taxes for all income groups, provided the greatest benefits for middle-income households, and spurred economic growth that helped reduce poverty and improve prosperity.
The standard deduction almost doubled. This helped low and mid income taxpayers tremendously by removing taxable income from their higher tax rates.
IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most

In some what related news, not just the saving money part, but also going after bureaucrats....Rand Paul has been waiting for this moment for years:
The ultra wealthy don't pay income tax. They don't earn wages, they don't get tips while waiting tables, they don't work overtime, they don't collect social security.
I thought you said that Trumps tax cuts wouldn't pass. Those older cuts (renewed) included reductions in every tax bracket. So every federal tax payer got their taxes reduced. Further, this new cut exempts tips, overtime and social security from taxes. That is another big tax cut for the middle class. Billionaires don't work for tips or get paid overtime wages.

I had a student (I teach in a 97% minority middle school) say she hated Trump the other day b/c she thought he was a racist. I told her she would probably change her views by the time she started working and paying taxes. She agreed that she didn't like the idea of paying taxes. I told her she better find a way to like Trump then, because he's busy cutting taxes right now. She said - I KID YOU NOT - "Never mind, I'm fine with paying taxes, I just hate Trump." These are the great minds of our future right there.

We have a great press secretary, but Jennings would have been great one as well. This is great line:
Jennings: “George Soros does have influence over Democrats. He collects your people like Pokemon cards.”

It is going to blow the roof off of the national debt.
The only real place to cut with those billionaire tax cuts is Medicaid.
Trump is on pace to create more national debt than any President since WW2.
They will pay thru diminished Medicaid services and other government services the middle class uses.
This is smoke and mirrors that will bankrupt the country.
Yeah.... All you fools do is scream non stop about the national debt... Until your clown blows the roof off of it with tax cuts for billionaires and pennies for the grateful useful idiots.
You're paying for this and are too stupid to know it.
The same tired talking points. You guys are gonna have to come up with something new. Didn't Elon musk pay like 14 million in taxes? They pay more taxes than anyone.
The majority and largest % of cuts were for middle income earners.
Reality is, if you want more tax revenue, stop supporting your slave labor with "who will pick the fruit" if there are no illegal immigrants to pay under the table, abs deadbeat Americans can get off their ass and work and employerers will be forced to pay better wages.
Trump shared this AI Gaza video on his Truth Social and pinned it to the top. He posted it around midnight. Interesting choice to say the least.
"Donald Trump is coming to set you free"
"No more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here" haha (the media's heads are going to explode)

You know, if we all starve to death because we can't produce our own food without slave labor from another country, then we deserve it. Something tells me we will figure it out though.
If you ever wonder if your side is the side of sanity or not, just look at the actions of those on the other side. All doubt will be erased. However, if you find yourself continuously engaging with them over and over, well...you know what they say about the definition of insanity.
Elon will probably be the one to stop the asteroid. Y'all think Moore wouldn't kick him out of the country if he could? Yeah me neither.
I like to tell libs they were right all along about project 2025, and that we learned from the best in the ways of gaslighting.
