Is there much value in being clearer? The republicans vote in lockstep with limited exceptions for vanity votes. They haven’t deviated from that under the existing administration. There’s not much value in pretending fiscal policy is at the root of their plan. It’s fairly transparent in its efforts to privatize government to enrich those in positions to capitalize on it.


Yes, in my mind there is. The congress and the executive branch are not in exact lockstep, just as they were not in Trumps first administration either. There are plenty of influential Republicans who push back on one thing or another, and prevent or obstruct administration agenda. I already gave an example. For those who hate Trump there is value in understanding this, as it can be worked with


Apologies for asking, what example? There doesn’t seem to be much obstructing the agenda except Judges.



Interesting, it begs the question. Why block a small monetary pay out to the citizens when they have green lit a multi trillion dollar tax cut for those of us with wealth? Fiscal conservationism seems to be conveniently and selectively used.


I used "they" following a commented who used "they" referring to those creating the budget, I.e. congress creating it +the president signing off on it.


The downvotes are because you’re treating blatant Elon-bullshit with good faith.


I didn't downvote, but I assume its because the GP comment reads a bit argumentative and the "they" use can be understood in context with the earlier comments.
