Elon Musk In his heart, I suspect Elon Musk is a libertarian. Aligning with Rs and Ds didn't work. Perhaps a new libertarian coalition will form, led by Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Musk, and the hundreds (thousands?) of quiet libertarian business leaders.

There’s one legislative vehicle that allows substantial spending reforms with a simple majority: reconciliation. Its use case is when a party controls all of Congress and the presidency—which might not happen again for a generation! There’s not a better time to cut spending.

Elon Musk Most want DC to stop stealing, spending us into debt, declaring endless “emergencies,” erecting barriers to prosperity, and treating Americans like suspected criminals. We need a strong party of liberty that limits the federal government and empowers individuals and communities.

The falling out was inevitable. You don’t land rockets backwards or get cars to drive themselves by suffering fools gladly. This interview with Sharyl Attkisson 🕵️‍♂️💼🥋 was taped on March 27th.

If your position is we can’t do better than this bill, then you’ve already surrendered to the forces committed to destroying America. Now is the time to put it all on the line. Spending will be cut one way or another. Better to legislate cuts than have a debt crisis impose cuts.

Massie plan: Throw the big beautiful bill in the trash. Start over… skinny! Extend 2017 tax cuts End Green New Deal cold turkey No bloat for military industrial complex No SALT No pork Realistic border funding Serious Medicaid reform $1 spending cuts for $1 new tax cuts

Understand how officials mislead on the Big, Beautiful Bill: When they say it “cuts” spending, they don’t mean in absolute terms. They mean relative to current expectations. The reality is spending grows by nearly $20 trillion under the proposal, and debt grows by even more!

Since receiving the $9.4 billion rescissions package on Tuesday, the federal government has spent an additional $60 billion. Every half day that Congress twiddles its thumbs, the government spends the equivalent of the entire “savings” from these rescissions.

When Mike Johnson and White House officials say the Big, Beautiful Bill “cuts” spending, they mean something akin to: “We were going to buy a $5 million Bugatti, but instead we’re going to buy a $4.7 million Lamborghini—all on credit. We cut three hundred thousand dollars!”

Imagine sending these three out to explain why it’s worth it to saddle future generations of Americans with trillions more in debt and taxes, ruinous inflation and interest, and economic collapse.

There are lots of people repeating completely false talking points about federal spending. Republicans do not need 60 Senate votes to pass major spending reforms. They need 50 votes plus the vice president in reconciliation. It’s true that certain discretionary changes are left

.Rand Paul is right. The debt ceiling should be raised only in tiny increments, if at all, until Congress reforms major programs and cuts spending in a way that promotes future fiscal stability. The current path is unsustainable and will lead to a massive economic crisis.
