And still Americans rush out and pretend one party represents them. Clearly, neither party does. The two parties are simply a distraction, a way to divide voters while they divide the spoils.
But what he fails to acknowledge is he benefited tremendously by accessing the same type of "disgusting" Green "pork" during the Obama years to the tune of "$4.9 billion in government subsidies, grants and tax credits".
"How grants and tax subsidies helped Elon Musk grow Tesla. Why is this a good thing?"
While it's fun to poke Musk or Trump as being hypocrites, when almost all citizens still find no fault in spending other people's earnings, I have little hope that any serious change for the better is possible. I do think there is a collapse of the monetary system in the works, but I have no idea how many more bandages will be applied to a growing wound. Predictions of doom have little effect when economic ignorance is the norm.
That's it right there...it's not their money. It's easy to spend money that isn't theirs. Stealing the buying power of future generations to launder today's money through NGOs and poor countries (Notice those poor countries have always stayed poor? We need them for laundering our "money").
When things do collapse, the politicians will point at everyone but themselves. Those who prepared in advance with be labeled as speculators and traitors. Everyone will be a scape goat except themselves.
I do disagree with your statement that "almost all citizens still find no fault in spending other people's earnings." The bottom line is we have no choice in voting for anyone worthwhile. Some of us have stopped voting entirely, since our "representatives" clearly represent Big Business, the MIC, and Israel. We the People are only thought of near Election Day and then back to business as usual.
I agree that we're not offered good choices at election time. I'm cynical because even when the political promise to be accountable is discarded in action by the elected member, the incumbent all too often easily wins re-election.
There seems to be a great deal of disagreement about the "scoring" of the bill, "static" vs. "dynamic" analysis, and particularly whether a budget with the TCJA ("Trump Tax Cuts") as the baseline should be incorporated by the Senate. It sounds like you're taking the CBO/Static scoring angle. Perhaps you could educate us on that, including the pros and cons of the approaches.
It’s all an intentional misuse of power to spend us firstly to a point where tax cuts are not affordable then secondly to where permanent tax increases are “necessary.”
I agree the military budget is too much, we have used or military as a deterrent, for the first time we may be spent the money on weapons that will be used in the coming war with China.
Deterrent? Was Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Iraq threats to America? No, we use the military budget to go stir up war with whatever country isn't jumping high enough when we tell them to jump. Iran isn't a threat to the US. Cut the DoD budget by 25% for starters and end all the crazy alliances. Are you aware if the Philippines wants to go to war with China, we are obligated by treaty to jump in?
Musk is a techno-rat. As an arrogant, like Trump he love theatrics. He used fake global warming and taxpayer provided tax credits to sell his idiot EVs and become super rich. He no longer needs government. The deep state of techno-freaks will replace government as our masters using A/i. Goodbye humanity.
SpaceX would not be in business without government money. Same with the Boring Company. Virtually every company he owns is at the government trough one way or the other.
Government is clipping coins via inflation. Never passes a balanced budget. But I believe treasury rates can no longer be dropped to near 0 since foreign investors will refuse to buy them.
The term "RINO" has no meaning. The GOP is not officially a conservative party. One can join even if they are a flaming liberal. Homosexuals not only join; they run for office and are officially sponsored. Being a "Republican" simply means virtually nothing.
I refuse to have anything to do with the two corrupt parties either helping or voting for them. They serve their party before America. A classic example is how the GOP whined and howled about Biden being incompetent but rather than impeach him for it, they didn't because they wanted to run against him as President. So thanks to them, we effectively had unelected officials running the Presidency. The big hypocrites want to hold hearing NOW about who in the White House didn't come clean. How about hearings on why the GOP didn't impeach? Nothing to see there. A pox on both corrupt parties.
Because he is right. The BBB is an embarrassing testament to GOP corruption and arrogance towards voters.

Elon is right.
But what he fails to acknowledge is he benefited tremendously by accessing the same type of "disgusting" Green "pork" during the Obama years to the tune of "$4.9 billion in government subsidies, grants and tax credits".

So, that puts him inside a very large glass house throwing rocks at new pork.
And he knows damn good and well that Americans have been the subjects of "debt slavery" for decades.

Connect the dots.
