GOP Senate advances $9 Billion spending cuts bill over Democrat and internal GOP resistance
- Thread starter Walter Brennaneer
- Start date
It has to get through the House, but cutting unnecessary spending is indeed a huge win.
And, of course, anything that saves the taxpayers money, the Left is vehemently against.
The Party of Hate loves to tax and spend into oblivion.
To be fair, many on the right love wasteful spending as well, but it's nice to have an administration trying to cut spending for once.
$9 billion. That's it? Hard for me to get excited about saving $9 billion given the vast government spending. They are going to pimp this like they just saved $100 billion.
We didn't go 37 Trillion in debt overnight, it's foolish to think we're going to eliminate that much waste, fraud, & abuse with one vote! Still what they've agreed to cut here we can't afford, and even don't need to spend! The rest of it has to be approached the same way...program by program...recission by recission....budget by budget for as long as it takes to get rid of all of this needless spending.
I applaud them for getting this 1st 9 billion cut...now let's get to work on the next recission bill.
I know but it's a start. June had the first surplus in forever, 27 billion. I never thought tariffs would be a good thing but they've already taken in 100 billion this year. I think the CPI is 1.8, a far cry from the 20% that was the four years that Biden's idiots were in charge
Yeah. That's real money. $9 Billion is good but people need to stop acting like it is some great feat. It's not.
EDIT: To put it is perspective, the deficit in 2024 was $1.83 trillion. $9B is a drop in the bucket and doesn't make a dent in that figure.

Imagine what folks would be saying if it were 9 billion added to that debt? A billion here...a billion there....pretty soon you're talking real money! The first rule in savings is to start! Save a dollar, then save 10, then save even more...but start saving.
Same here. Start cutting. Cut 9 billion here. Cut 18 billion more next reconciliation. Cut 36 billion after that. Keep cutting and cutting and cutting more.... sooner or later you're talking real savings!
Honestly the debt is so big that an increase of $9B won't get noticed and certainly won't get talked about. That's my point. This is nothing special.
We should be able to shave $10B off spending in our sleep.
Oh I agree! These cuts as big as they are are relatively small compared to how much debt we've piled up. No argument there.
However that's still real money, that's still less debt we're piling up, and as I said the first rule of savings is to start saving! I agree it's a drop in the bucket, but we have to start.
We need some forced fiscal discipline IMO. A balanced budget ammendment forces those blood suckers to stay within the constraints we set for them, it also means we stop borrowing to pay for things we don't need.
Take care of the pennies the dollars will take care of themselves......
Only saving 9 billion dont make my nipples hard but its better than not saving at all .
I do agree that the low life politicians will act like the cured cancer with this .
That's the problem. The dirty bastards started foolishly spending 9 billion at a time and we didn't notice then the spending grew so fast that no one could keep up .
