Rand Paul said during a 32-minute speech touching on an array of topics. “In fact, I think the Chinese sit back … and laugh at America thinking we’re going to be stronger by borrowing more money from China.” Daily Caller The Senate is poised to pass a sweeping bill aimed at improving America’s manufacturing and technological edge against China after Republican objections to certain provisions stalled it for over a week. The legislation, dubbed the United States Competition and Investment Act, would inject $250 billion towards semiconductor manufacturing, artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing and more, and could be voted on as soon as Tuesday.

My dream is we borrow another shitload of money from China, then pass a law that cancels all debt to China as payback for giving the world Covid.
Every time I read the words “bipartisan bill”, I know that the republicans have rolled over and let the dems screw us again.
How about rather than another bill spending nonexistent money the government pulls back regulations and lets companies do it all.
I’m just gonna stop paying income tax.
Nothing kills a free market like government intervention.
Swear to God that George Orwell is titling these bills.
Lack of revenue won’t stop this shit. We are so far past worrying about deficit spending it’s ridiculous. Ask yourself when was the last time you even heard that phrase.
