If the feckless Republicrat Uniparty are going to strip out all of the beneficial (to the citizens) provisions in the bill via spurious "Byrd Rules" assessments, then the politicians ought not to get a single bite of all the pork they have heaped up on their platters in it.
Don't even try to tell me "butbutbut... it's the DEMOCRATS stripping al that out, through their all-powerful Parliamentarian!" My ass it is. That's utter bullshit. Republicans have ALL of the tools at their disposal to stop that lunacy cold in it's tracks, yet they won't do it. That tells me there is collusion going on between the two supposedly "adversarial" parties, and that they are in fact one big happy Republicrat Uniparty. We don't need One Party rule trying to masquerade as a dysfunctional adversarial system - we need people in DC who will work for US, and do OUR bidding. Ain't that why we sent them there in the first place?
Double my taxes while simultaneously trying to abrogate my rights, bitches. See where that gets you. Either work for us, the People who hired you, or else go the hell home. We can make that happen - those who hire you can fire you, too. We've got that kind of power.
Musk is just a heartbeat away from starting a new party responsive to it's constituency... and that will leave all of the politicians sitting flat on their asses in the dust, desperately trying to hold their grasp on the pork they piled up.
Look at what is going on in the UK - Reform comes out of nowhere, and starts stacking up political bodies in a wall like cordwood. We can do that, too... after all, we originated as a British colony, and have that same DNA. Watch us go if you keep screwing around. FAFO.
Try us. See for yourselves.

It would be the interest of the people if new party ( if it comes ) wont be ruled by gerontocracy .
