What happened to the Republican commitment to fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets?

[Chadrone]

Oh, you mean how farmers had contracts and markets they were producing for until the stable genius started renegotiating them.

Yea, they gave their entire buisness and livlihoods over to the state without any backup plans. That's a colossally fuckin' retarded move that's burned literally everyone in the history of every government ever.

Come on, you know how farming is. Right Bot-boy? It’s not something you can change in the middle of a season.

That's why you don't monocrop for communist. socialism has been shit for farmers forever.

Trump fucked up and now taxpayers are paying for it.

No Trump cucked out and the taxpayers are going to pay for something they shouldn't.

And they would have paid anyhow, probably far more under Harris/Walz.

BTW, what’s your bet on when the East wing of the White House is going to be done? Do you honestly believe no taxpayer money is going to be spent on the boondoggle ball room?

I don't really give a shit about either.

BTW,

Some benefits of mixing ethanol with gasoline:

How Ethanol Improves Combustion:

• Higher Octane: Ethanol naturally raises the octane rating, preventing premature detonation (knocking) and allowing for more efficient engine operation.

Yet all the best race gas doesn't come with corn juice in it. It's all corn or all dinosaurs...amazing how that is. You would think with all the wonderous benefits, race cars/tracks would all be selling 91 octaine E15!!!

• Oxygenation: It contains oxygen, which promotes a more thorough burn, reducing carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.

Like I give a fuck about that.

• Cooling Effect: Ethanol has a high latent heat of vaporization, cooling the air-fuel charge, making it denser and improving engine performance, especially in boosted engines.

I have a four core FMIC for that.

• Faster Flame Speed: Ethanol burns faster than gasoline, improving the overall combustion process and efficiency.

I literally am trying to slow the shit down in the race car....even cars set up for corn E85 blow fuck tons of it in there and often add water injection to slow the shit down.

Benefits in the Engine:

• Reduced Emissions: Cleaner burn leads to lower CO, HC, and some other pollutant emissions.
• Prevents Knock: High octane prevents engine knock, protecting the engine.
• Cleaner Fuel System: Ethanol helps keep fuel injectors clean by dissolving deposits.

Again, more greenie bullshit....

Corn in fuel is big ag literally legislating itself into big oil's pockets at the expense of taxpayers. If the dems hadn't legislated that market into existence, it would not exist as it does today. E85 would be a specialty race fuel that 99.99% of people knew nothing about.

 

[briancamdudetenger2018]

the old days of the republican party is over

ever since 2016 when he turned the republican party into like a realty tv pro wrestling style political party

Right. You’re an anarchist “real liberal”

That's why you don't monocrop for communist. socialism has been shit for farmers forever.

But you love your taxpayer funded vets benefits.

No Trump cucked out and the taxpayers are going to pay for something they shouldn't.

Every now and then you get something right.

I don't really give a shit….

That’s your mantra. So why the fuck do you keep signing into Lit under different names and VPN’s? What do you get out of being the asshole that you are?

Yet all the best race gas doesn't come with corn juice in it. It's all corn or all dinosaurs...amazing how that is. You would think with all the wonderous benefits, race cars/tracks would all be selling 91 octaine E15!!!

You know damn well it’s about leveling the field, not performance.

Like I give a fuck about that.

Your value to society is shining again.

I have a four core FMIC for that.

Yeah? So does my F-150.

I literally am trying to slow the shit down in the race car....even cars set up for corn E85 blow fuck tons of it in there and often add water injection to slow the shit down.

What a great thing for a mind like yours to focus on. Keep shaving seconds off your time.

Again, more greenie bullshit....

Yeah, because clean air and water is worthless.

Corn in fuel is big ag literally legislating itself into big oil's pockets at the expense of taxpayers. If the dems hadn't legislated that market into existence, it would not exist as it does today. E85 would be a specialty race fuel that 99.99% of people knew nothing about.

Yeah. Republican senator Chuck Grassley, one of the biggest supporters of ethanol, is a big dem.


Which gas station did you work at in high school? The one by the Sebastopol KFC? There was an asshole who worked there who sounds just like you.

 

[Wilson23]

In its present formation, the GOP cannot afford to practice any form of fiscal responsibility that causes any pain or inconvenience to 1) Wall Street scum or 2) trailer trash.

Oh, they can cause all the pain and inconvenience they want to trailer trash. They'll go right on blaming the left, the feminists, the nig-...oops, I mean welfare mothers, the immigrants, you get the idea.

 

[Chadrone]

Right. You’re an anarchist “real liberal”

Yup, I never advocated for no government.

See when you know the actual meanings of words, you can be precise with them.

But you love your taxpayer funded vets benefits.

What's that got to do with government created markets ??

How does it make those who VOLUNTARILY opt into them somehow NOT responsible for their choice to opt into them???....as you're trying to make it out to be, like they are some kind of victims or some shit.

Do you think someone forced these farmers to do this stupid???

Why are you so adverse to seeing them as responsible for the choices they made??

Every now and then you get something right.

Almost everything, that's why it triggers you so fuckin' bad.

Your value to society is shining again.

At least I have value to society, you parasites on the left can't even claim that.

Yeah, because clean air and water is worthless.

You think adding corn to fuel made the air and water clean?? You're even dumber than I thought. When you calculate how much dino juice is burned to make the corn to add it to the dino juice? It's at best break even.....it's a fucking scam, just like the windmills and solar farms.

Yeah. Republican senator Chuck Grassley, one of the biggest supporters of ethanol, is a big dem.

Cute, now which party is the party of "green" and pushing environmental scams like this?? It's not the GOP ....ethanol in fuel would have never happened if it weren't for Democrats being retards/scamming fraudsters.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Blah, blah, blah, ba, blah.

An entire thread dedicated to the ignorance of the American dementedcraps.

How big is the reduction in the federal workforce?
How much fraud has been uncovered? Oh, dementedcrap fraud at that?
How many bloated programs are being rolled back?

And in smaller ways. For years my source of brass for reloading was the federal government. The various agencies bought the ammo, shot it up, and discarded the brass. Now they are mandated to scoop up the brass and sell it to metal recyclers with the monies being deposited in the particular agencies general account.

I fully expect the upcoming budget to reflect even more cuts to which the democraps will respond with cries of 'slash', 'grannies going to starve' (what's a matter cocksuckers, too fucking cheap to feed your own grandma?), and one of my all time favorites, "they're destroying the American dream!!" Yes sir, every American grows up dreaming of being on the government dole. Eat shit and die democraps.

 

[AlexBailey]

You only want the government that does for you, third base boy.

Taxpayers pay for your entitlements.

When Trump throws his tantrums business gets hurt. Meanwhile he figured out how profit by fleeceing everyone who buys or sells his crypto regardless if the price goes up or down, while pushing it from the bully pulpit.

The Trump grifts are going to be case studies for generations. No wonder he’s such a hero for Republicans.

Do you think someone forced these farmers to do this stupid???

The farmers grew for existing markets that Trump destroyed.

Why are you so adverse to seeing them as responsible for the choices they made??

Same as the previous answer.

Almost everything, that's why it triggers you so fuckin' bad.

You’re worthless to everyone but yourself. Remind us why you never married your baby-mama.

At least I have value to society, you parasites on the left can't even claim that.

Sorry, the sarcasm was lost on you. What value do you have for society?

You think adding corn to fuel made the air and water clean?? You're even dumber than I thought. When you calculate how much dino juice is burned to make the corn to add it to the dino juice? It's at best break even.....it's a fucking scam, just like the windmills and solar farms.

Hey dumb fuck, how did you miss that better combustion = cleaner emissions?

Solar is a cost-effective way that individuals, not just big business, can produce their own energy and fuel on their own property. You’d think a smart and independent person would support it - but you don’t fit that description.

Cute, now which party is the party of "green" and pushing environmental scams like this?? It's not the GOP ....ethanol in fuel would have never happened if it weren't for Democrats being retards/scamming fraudsters.

(Republican) SEN. CHUCK GRASSLEY: It's [Ethanol] already a very important resource. Already, at least 10% of the gasoline…used in the United States have ethanol mixed with it for the benefit of cleaning up the environment. It's a very environmental…product. We can do a lot more through ethanol. Our plants aren’t running at full scale. This administration, if they want to get down the price of gasoline, just move us from 10% of the ethanol in gasoline being mandated to not mandating it at 15% but give every opportunity to use 15% year-round…it can't be used during June, July, August till September the 15th.

How much do you expect the national debt to decrease during Trump’s administration?

 

[Rebel5soul]

The dementedcrap party has managed to turn compassion into a criminal enterprise. "Fuck the taxpayer, we need more money to buy votes."

"Look at the Republicans NOT cutting like they promised!"

"Cut? Nah, we're gonna spend "More, more, more, with a rebel yell we'll spend more more more." Yessir, the Billy Idol party.

You know very well there are always more criminals on the Pub side. That has not changed since 1980.

How much energy is used to make ethanol? Take from Peter to pay Paul. That's why we use catalytic converters.

It's the equivalence of using Chinese made solar farms (panels) where China's manufacturing process pollutes the planet faster than we using said solar devices drops our CO2 (carbos) emissions.

 

[YDB95]

2%, actually.

 

[JohnEngelman]

Difference is Reagan never had a trifecta because the Democrats controlled the US House of Representatives throughout his entire Presidency.

Everyone who during the Reagan administration voted for tax cuts for the rich and more military spending shares responsibility for the tripling of the national debt that happened under Reagan.

 

[Wilson23]

what does fiscal really mean

Usually it means pervy. "I wanna get fiscal, fiscal . . ."

 

[MajorRewrite]

Fact Check:

Federal government spending continues to soar.

 

[Holy_Seduction]

The US deficit has dropped 53% this year.

These oft repeated claims are a facade to mask oligarchic power grabs and intensified class war even as the ruling class acts to strangle working class struggles.

The crucial question here is, ‘who benefits?’

Reductions serve the oligarchs. Lowered deficits are used to rationalize massive tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy corporations. That is a core Trump administration policy.

Deficit reductions are done by gutting social programs — dismantling state public ed., destroying public health infrastructure, etc. This is to fund the oligarchic agenda.

This fiscal policy is of a piece with the drive toward imperial war and authoritarianism. War abroad requires massive intensification of the war on the working class at home by subordinating all of society's resources to military aggression and internal repression.

Also ignored in the ‘deficit reduction ballad is the catastrophic rise in social inequality.

60,000 multimillionaires now own three times more wealth than the bottom half of humanity. A smaller deficit does naught to address that fundamental injustice.

The political aim of this economic mismanagement is to strengthen the dictatorship of capital. Political freedom and genuine democracy are impossible when such extreme wealth concentration exists and is used to reshape the state is into a direct instrument of oligarchic rule.

From a proletarian [working class viewpoint], celebrating a technical ‘deficit reduction’ is like celebrating a burglar balancing his household budget after a successful robbery. The ‘savings’ are extracted from worker livelihoods and the social infrastructure it depends on — all to further enrich a tiny, parasitic ruling elite and fuel its militaristic ambitions.

The only solution is the expropriation of the oligarchy and the reorganization of the global economy on socialist principles to meet human needs, not private profit.

 

[Wilson23]

These oft repeated claims are a facade to mask oligarchic power grabs and intensified class war even as the ruling class acts to strangle working class struggles.

What struggles? The working class hasn't fought back since the 1970s.

 

[YDB95]

What struggles? The working class hasn't fought back since the 1970s.

Well, in a manner of speaking, they have. The catch is, they've fought back against their own self-interests because they're blinded by their own bigotry. It's a whole lot easier to just blame your raw deal on feminism, gays, DEI, Muslims, trans people, etc. than to admit to yourself that you've been duped into people who routinely screw you in order to line the pockets of the already rich.

 

[Holy_Seduction]

What struggles? The working class hasn't fought back since the 1970s.

Wilson, this gets a ‘yes and no’ answer.

Yes, the last great strike [in the US, at leads] was the PATCO strike in the 80s. So yes, you are correct.

The other side of the coin is that since then, ‘worker’ organizations and unions have repressed struggles, isolated them, organized their defeat, kept them in the dark, demanded that they sign rotten contracts which they overwhelmingly rejected multiple times.

There is no lack of willingness of workers to struggle. But that struggle will occur ONLY as workers organize themselves to do it — apart from the pseudo-left class collaborators who cooperate with corporations while strangling the worker action they are paid to lead.

And workers are organizing. They are breaking the straight jacket which corrupt, company-bought labour bureaucrats have forced on them for decades.

The ruling class knows this is coming and it is terrified. That is why the turn to fascism, war and authoritarianism. As much as Democratic Party officials despise and fear Trump, they are FAR more terrified by thoughts of the coming worker rebellion against Trump from below.

Massive struggles are on the horizon, the likes of which have not been seen since WW I.

 

[Wilson23]

The ruling class knows this is coming and it is terrified. That is why the turn to fascism

Oh, no, the turn to fascism is a much more demotic phenomenon! The looters in the Hamptons are just as scared of it as you are!
