Ok the republicans say it’s a win for them and the democrats say it’s a win for them. So either way us middle class Americans get screwed. Again!

[brandonfrey]

We literally handed away all of our leverage

[johnelder]

If you have to name the bill "Fiscally Responsible" the one thing you can be sure of is it isn't.

[jesuslua]

What a disappointment she’s just talking from a paycheck point

[lesliecas]

If their mouths are moving they're lying.

[emmanuelcarretero]

Dark Brandon played republicans like a fiddle yet again.

[tewruzc]

How is spending more a win? Only in Washington.

[givemeabreak]

Would HATE to see what a loss is. In my view this is a catastrophic loss for the American Taxpayers. Please stop the BS. There's already enough crap on the house floor.

[StepUPNJ]

Lady you have gone off your rocker. Sure you stand for conservative principles in many ways but you also were all in on the Ukraine war. I don't trust you one bit.

[SherryAdcox]

"Fiscally Responsible Act is like the Inflation Reduction Act. BS

[merkco.]

What is this chick talking about, it screws us

[johnelder]

Stephanik has turned out to be just another RINO. To bad, she had promise.

[sH-ghww]

This is so sick no more voting for me. We the people are suppose to vote on this not those people in office nobody asked me

[jonny-on-the-spot]

republican party just got renamed to the push over party

[tiffanyhanna]

This turned alot of Republicans stomachs this is gonna cause a lot of Republicans to take back support I and my immediate family will no longer be voting thats a loss of prob 10 votes for the republican party im sure there are others doing the same just shows your vote doesn't really count and when it does the person u voted in to office goes against everything they ran on

[suzsmith]

Time for recalls on most of congress.
This is in no way a win for the American citizens.
They're playing magical math again.

[lizdouglas]

Are you kidding us???? McCarthy has no ability to govern. Was this MAGA? Or have you forgotten?

[VinnyCooljoke]

Congrats on kicking the can down the road… again

[philjones]

Thirty five thousand billion in debt and rising. If you spent two hundred thousand dollars a SECOND, it would take you nearly five and a half years to spend that much money.

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

Yeah. I feel like the people just won. They out in the streets dancing.
