This could have been such a smooth deal, but they had to get their earmarks for their donor overlords and their fucking greedy little, oh, dude, I'm telling you. So one interesting little note on that, though, Diligent, the Tax Foundation, which is generally no fan of Trump's things, you know, broadly speaking, they're pretty neutral to slightly anti-Trump, but the Tax Foundation reviewed both, and they're a conservative organisation, but they reviewed both of the different bills.
SourceAnd they actually found that the Senate bill, based on, you know, best available data, fiscal analysis, would do more positive for GDP than the House bill.
I haven't looked at these bills. How? How? I'm not sure. It added $60 for Ukraine.
Exactly how does that stimulate the U.S. economy? Oh, I don't, yeah, I don't know where the calculation came from, but that is, I'm just saying, that is what the, some of the analysis was, and so I'm sure- How much are they paying you right now, Jess? How much are they paying you? Tax Foundation. I don't think they could pay me enough, to be honest with you. They don't pay much.
There's never been a single fucking bill ever that the CBO has fucking accurately scored. Ever. And it's almost, it's almost never even close- That's true.
To whatever the quote-unquote score is. And again, I, like Nick was saying it earlier, I actually, because of the factors they don't include is growth, and it's clear that the Trump strategy is that growth is going to offset a lot of the spending. There is no, we are past the point of being able to cut our way into being able to like keep afloat, and so the Trump administration has made the determination that we're going to, we are going all gas, no brakes, pump the economy, pump sectors, like let's just frickin' get after it.
