So now it's over, and we got partially shafted, sadly by the worst part of partial.
On the up side, a whole lot of my taxable income has been obliterated by the SALT thing.
It was far from a 'perfect' bill. But it did some really good things.
And proved that the Republicans can get things through that matter. AND they managed to put a lot of Trump's EO's into law. So much for him being a king and ruling by fiat.
And the best part is that we have at least another year + to look at the things that BBB did not do well enough... and have BBB 2.0. Or lots of little bills. That the democrats can rail against all they want. But they can be passed.
BBB is not the 'end' of legislation for this Congress. It is the beginning.
And it's a hell of a lot more than King Potato von Autopen did AT ALL... except to rule by executive orders. Oh, wait... he didn't know what time it was and thought he was a fireman or a stoat. Our government was in the hands of unelected American Socialist Party scum who controlled the Autopen. And their party Congress went along with it for four years... lying to protect their cabal and their autopen.
Maybe I'm being too optimistic... but this is a start. Not an end.
And while the republicans are off to a pretty good start, the left is dying on the hill of supporting Illegal Criminal Aliens, Transing children, Killing Babies, Cheering for Muslim Atom Bombs and Hamas. All things that are wildly unpopular with the American public.
Oh and their USAID and other money has been cut off.... billions used to subvert America. And their illegal voters are being sent home (or self-deporting). Their 'ersatz grass roots astroturf' organizations are being defunded and may be held accountable for fraud and worse.
So while I'd have liked to see some more in the BBB... and some less. I'm going to call it a win and ask for (hope for? Demand?) more wins.
Cheers,
Sirhr
