51 sats \ 4 replies \ @kepford OP 11 Mar \ on: The foolish attack on Thomas Massie Politics_And_Law
This bit is the main point
Congressman Massie, I remind the reader, defended the president over Russiagate and January 6 at a time when many scared Republicans were running home crying to their mothers.
Massie's point is: how can we possibly justify a spending bill that spends all the money DOGE has identified as wasteful?
While it has been good to see DOGE expose waste, I am not at all surprised that all those so called savings will be spent. It's should be unsurprising that conservatives would just go along with pushing spending. NO ONE cares about deficits or budgets. Sadly we will have to go through Mandibles before we get to a Bitcoin standard

He’s right in a strict accounting sense but misses the bigger picture. Politics requires pragmatism: the art of the possible.
