[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at the end of the day, the Congress negotiated a deal, Musk tanked it, the House passed a clean bill and then the senate restored everything in the negotiated deal except the things Trump wanted were excluded.

Way to go Elon, or something.

Wrong. The senate did not restore everything in the negotiated deal. The specific funds in the 1500 mega deal were stripped out (example - nearly four percent pay raise for Congress) but congress retains the right to spend up to that level, piece meal. Yes, way to go Elon. Shine a light on the spending. If congress wants a pay raise, do a standalone bill so the American people can see it - don’t try to sneak it in in a CR.[/quote]

We already knew that Congress has not passed a budget in a long time.  Elon didn't shine a light on that.  He shone a light on his unfamiliarity with how our government works.  His ignorance and inability to recognize it.[/quote]

Ridiculous take unless you support a Congress sneaking in a pay raise for itself under an emergency CR instead of a standalone vote.

The American people have voted for transparency.  The days of 1500 page bills with sneaky items snuck in are over.  This is a good thing for all of us, since it’s not just the left sneaking things in.  [/quote]

Which party controls the House and wrote the 1500 page bill?[/quote]
