‘I will never leave that woman’: Kevin McCarthy forms an unbreakable bond with Marjorie Taylor Greene
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) forged an unbreakable bond with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during his hectic leadership fight, according to friends. The Georgia Republican was widely seen as a political liability and a threat to his leadership when she arrived in Congress two years ago, but multiple sources told the New York Times they had formed a strong alliance as McCarthy fought to be elected speaker of a narrow GOP House majority.
Republicans hate it when the money middle class tax payers shell out goes back to them.
Republicans ran the debt up 25% under 4 years of lying traitor Trump by giving tax breaks to rich people who did not need them, we got nothing for the money, they stole it.
So Medicare and Social Security must be cut back so more tax dollars can go to the republicans rich friends.
He would be on the horns of a dilemma’ – if his constituents were smart enough to figure out or even care about WHAT he and the rest of his gang of miscreants were doing – but they’re NOT so he’s not worried.
But he’ll be saving the one percent so much in taxes! And he’ll be fourth-graders from hearing anything about sex*! And giving a fair hearing to the idea of a 30% Federal sales tax instead of that dumb progressive income tax! Don’t you care about freedom?
*…except in the traditional manner — from other kids.

Republiguns won’t cut our 850 billion military budget, the most expensive in the world.

Just eliminate the earnings cap on SSI and all is well. Except if you are a greedy radical capitalist type.

Republicans don’t want to cut “entitlements.” They want to cut entitlements for the “wrong” people.

Where’s the third rail. IMO, that’s how dangerous it would seem to reduce SS.

I agree that millionaires and corporations should be taxed at a higher level, approaching what was taxed during the 50’s and 60’s
