Are you listening MAGA?

"Elon Musk is continuing his attacks on Trump's signature bill on Wednesday with a barrage of posts slamming the mega-bill, saying, "No one should be able to stomach it."

Musk posted or helped amplify posts on X criticizing the bill more than 25 times.

"Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America! ENOUGH!" ~Musk

"Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL." ~Musk

Musk, who obviously has no idea what the GOP stands for said, "We need a new bill that doesn't grow the deficit."

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/elon-musk-privatel...

George Bush (41) took the deficit to -$300 billion per year.
Clinton got it to zero. During his presidency, Clinton managed to zero out the deficit and end his term with a +$128 billion per year surplus.
Lil' Bush (43) went from a surplus to -$1.4 trillion per year.
Obama halved it to -$600 billion per year.
Taco Trump, "The king of bankruptcy" then ramped the deficit up to an unheard of -$2 Trillion per year!
Now he's trying to pile on trillions more! Winning!

"Trump's team is the Corleones with no experience." ~Chris Christie, Life-long republican

"Trump is a @#$%ing moron!" ~Rex Tillerson, Life-long republican

gop has a very simple plan to appease their undereducated base AND vote for the bill.

a. oops, didnt really read the bill....and MAGA can totally empathize w/reading tasks.

b. stay busy w/ grifting culture wars for publicity, regardless of benefit or outcome.
