Close the border would be one way to save. Giving them everything free as we know nothing is free. It would save alot of Gov. money.

[pathos]

The government sure is good at voting to give themselves more money to spend. Voting to give the American people who actually keep this country afloat more money to spend, well…

[tonygreen]

It's dead on an arrival in the Senate

[delvaldog]

Cut federal spending. Audit what doesn’t work and cut. Texas Veterans Commission

[dustinbaker]

Yawn. The bill will never pass the Senate.

[brackn]

Look I know we need to do more work and to stop the family using my social security number and give me access to my birth certificate

[fordguy]

Pretty sure this is not a win, going nowhere because McTraitor is just that, a traitor. Win baby win! NOT!

[stargazerh]

Wow! She handled Bri well. My only complaint with her answers was that she did not speak out more against the DOJ on the back nationalist issue.

[lindadouglass]

I hope it is signed, sealed, and delivered. We must protect our Country and this is key.

[darrenmiller]

Excellent discussion and report. Briahna and Robbie are matching. They look terrific in black, but black compliments, lol. Let's face it, neither of these kids were short changed in the looks department, lol.

[tech-centralusa]

A win by 2 votes? a win that will be vetoed by the Senate. Wow! How is that a win?

[dramanexus]

Rising bringing on all the stars today. First, MTG, now Beau Bridges 🤣

[garyburke]

There is a zero percent chance that Biden will ever sign this outrageous bill.😂❤😅😂❤😅❤😂😅❤😂😅

[supernvae]

Everybody saying that they need to cut spending, but just not spending that helps their state. How is anything going to ever get cut then?

[Camerin-CD]

It’s not a win until it
Passes senate and Biden’s desk 😂I don’t think that’s happening.

The United States has a national debt that has been increasing for decades and currently stands at trillions of dollars. There is no simple answer to how the US will pay off its debt, as it will depend on various factors such as the state of the economy, political will, and priorities of the government.

One way that the US government could pay off its debt is by increasing taxes, either by raising existing taxes or implementing new ones. Another way would be to decrease government spending, which would reduce the amount of money the government borrows and therefore decrease the debt.

The government could also consider selling assets, such as land or public infrastructure, to generate revenue. However, this approach may not be sufficient to pay off the entire debt.

Another approach would be to implement policies that promote economic growth and job creation, which would increase tax revenue and reduce the need for government borrowing.

Ultimately, paying off the national debt will likely require a combination of these and other approaches, and will require a long-term plan and sustained commitment from the government and the public.

This is a win?? Isn’t this expected every year? What about Justice reform and accountability. People are still losing their freedom because sections of tyranny in public governments. No repercussions for terrible work through the funding of commonwealth

[jasonsvatos]

Will this pass the Senate, signed by the president, and gain the approval by the American citizens.

Don Giovanni laugh - "NO"

[wpl]

4 republicans balked at it and it barely passed but it's a win? Talk about grasping at straws. The past 2 years our economy grew at 3.5% GDP on average annually and our job growth has been 13 million. This bill won't help that it will hinder it. If it was passed which it won't be.

[chuckwaggun]

Once again, all the pundits were wrong. They all had been saying since last week that it was more likely McCarthy was to be replaced instead of passing a budget.
