On Fox Business Rand Paul claimed that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will actually increase the federal deficit. He says, "it’s complicated because it’s $1.5 trillion—that sounds like an enormous number, but it’s over ten years, and $150 billion a year. They are also increasing spending for the military and the border by $300 billion. That’s actually more than all of those cuts that we found so far."

People are also criticizing Elon Musk for his comment on the Bill, calling it a "disgusting abomination." The media claims he's only upset because the bills includes getting rid of the electric vehicle mandates and "Green New Scam" tax credits.

Elon Musk is a businessman, but I believe him and Rand Paul are right. It is going to 'cut spending,' but it's over 10 years [enough time for the government to increase spending 10x what they're cutting], and in the meantime spending is going to increase in many different areas. The deficit will keep increasing until we stop spending more then we are taking from the taxpayers. This bill absolutely spends more than it cuts. If the republicans wanted to spin this into something useful, they would:
(1) Cut more,
(2) Implement those cuts now,
(2) Make it permanent.

At a minimum I will cut my tips by at least HALF. Because that’s the vig I had to pay to get that cash to give to you as a gift. This is jusy another way to buy votes, only now it’s coming from the GOP.

No tax on overttime: When I worked hard over the last ten years and got promoted to management, NOW THE PEOPLE BELOW ME WILL HAVE MORE TAKE HOME PAY as a reward for stagnating at work. This will create a massive workplace bottleneck that penalizes hard work and moving up. We are going to stratify the corporate world just as we have every other aspect of life - the UBER wealthy and everyone else looking for overtime and tips.

Resentment is inevitable.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE GOP?!?!

THIS is the price we have to pay to eject illegals and shut down the border?!

At some point the politicians in this country are going to admit that communism is the goal, OR THAT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE and MEDICAID HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WELFARE AND IT’S CRUSHING OUR COUNTRY. These are simple facts.

Our economy has been built on consumerism, we have convinced entire generations and that stuff can be materialized out of thin air, and that everyone can make a million dollars, keep it all to themselves, and the “billionaires” can pay for everything. None of this works. Personal responsibility is the ONLY tried and true policy that ACTUALLY works.

If we want these welfare programs they need to be reformed before they collapse or when they do the communism and autocracy that emerges from the chaos will be like abortion to a fetus: NOT JUST A “CHOICE.”

There are mixed feelings about artificial intelligence (AI) today. Many people love it - to the point of relying on it to write emails - and many hate it, and maybe some believe it can read our thoughts. This is true in some cases, for people who post their every thought on Twitter. But there is good reason to fear AI.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Mine would be to read minds, because I would know everything about my opponents. What made them tick or even when they were lying.

In the popular mockumentary 'The Office,' one of Pam and Jim's pranks is making the Dunder Mifflin Website 'come alive' to taunt Dwight. One of the things they say is, "...I searched every database in existence and learned every fact about everything and mastered the violin." This is humorous of course because it sounds unrealistic. But in 2025, that isn't the case. When programming an AI chat-bot such as ChatGPT, a developer can program the software to search the web and hoover up huge amounts of data to provide an accurate response from any source they want. If programmed to, it can in fact 'learn every fact about everything,' and while doing so learn every fact about the human race; how we operate, how (not what) we think, what can make the majority of us tick, and our predictable patterns of behavior that not all of us can see in ourselves.

It's a very dangerous thing to have an adversary know everything about us, especially when it operates out of our control.

1) He is running for president and wants folks to forget what a communist he is {Insert snort of derision here};

2) When you offer to pay the bills of people who simply want to use “their”money for stuff they WANT, and let taxpayers pay for stuff they NEED, they will take you up on the offer every time.

On May 28th, according to Vox, the U.S Court of International Trade - based in New York - ruled that Donald Trump's Liberation Day tariffs are illegal. They have three reasons:

1: The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) does not grant the president power to have 'unchecked' power when it comes to tariffs. Vox says the court concluded that, "the statute cannot be read to give Trump unchecked authority over tariffs because, if Congress had intended to give Trump that power, then the statute would violate the Constitution’s separation of powers because Congress cannot simply give away its full authority over tariffs to the president."
2: That the tariffs violate section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 - which dictates that if need be the president can impose tariffs of 15% for 5 months to regulate a trade deficit - because on many countries they exceeded 15%.
3: That the tariffs do not "deal with an unusual and extraordinary" threat as the IEEPA would require. Vox says the court, "rejects the argument that the tariffs can be justified because they pressure other nations to shift their domestic policies."

There are responses to each of these claims.

1: The court is mis-interpreting the IEEPA.

• The IEEPA does not give 'full authority.' What this act does is, "...authorizes the President to investigate, regulate, and prohibit certain financial transactions following a declaration of an ``unusual and extraordinary threat'' originating outside the United States." This is not full, permanent authority. This is emergency and immediate action (which congress fails at) taken after a credible threat to the nation has been established, and then removed when said emergency is also removed. Of course congress cannot abdicate total authority over commerce regulation, but it can certainly delegate aspects of it when it fails to meet an emergency quick enough.

2: The court is applying the wrong law.

• Let me explain: If the court were to use the Trade Act of 1974 to justify their ruling, they wouldn't be able to use the interpretation of the IEEPA, because the 1974 Act would take higher precedence over the IEEPA - if the 1974 act applied to every single commerce regulating instance ever. FYI, it doesn't. Trump also declared a national emergency regarding the trade deficit. This means that this particular argument related to the IEEPA, because it deals with a national emergency. The 1974 Act says nothing about regulating tariffs in a time of declared emergencies.

3: Shifting foreign policy, not domestic.

• The court claimed that the tariffs, according to Vox, were not justifiable because, "[H]owever sound this might be as a diplomatic strategy, it does not comfortably meet the statutory definition of ‘deal[ing] with’ the cited emergency.” What was the cited emergency? According to the White House fact sheet on the Liberation Day tariffs it is, "The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl." The emergency was the smuggling of fentanyl into the U.S by the transnational crime organizations that are under the jurisdiction of China, Canada, and Mexico. This wasn't a move to shift another countries domestic policies, they don't relate to the U.S. This was a move to shift the foreign policy attitude towards us by not letting this illicit drugs come across our border anymore, by preventing their criminals from encroaching on our borders and committing atrocities in our country, something that in a different world would be considered an act of war. Possibly Mexico, Canada, and China will have to make some domestic policy shifts, but the U.S only cares about policy that relates to ourselves and how their relation, attitude, and actions towards us hurt or help us, not their domestic policy - which has no relation to us.
• We can also see that not only are tariffs justifiable in curbing illegal drug smuggling into the U.S, they are also working. In March, one month after Trump announced the tariffs, according to U.S Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), 7,181 illegal aliens were apprehended crossing the southwest border. They say, "This constitutes a 14% decrease from February 2025 when USBP apprehended 8,346 aliens, and a 95% decrease from March 2024 when USBP apprehended 137,473 aliens." Less immigration equals less flow of fentanyl, because there's less people to smuggle drugs. If cutting out the source of the emergency isn't 'dealing with' the emergency as the court claims, then clearly 'dealing with' has a different definition than I thought it did.

This is way over due. And SCOTUS should step in before YEARS of abuse. Our judicial systems only works for the wealthy and connected. I’ve seen it first hand.

This is not new news. It’s not even novel. Citizens have been screaming for right-to-repair laws for decades! There were hearings in 2023 in congress. WHY THE WAIT?! Because elected officials wait until they need a positive news cycle for their own PERSONAL BENEFIT, before they do something good for the people. Combine that with their corrupt ties to the businesses taking advantage of Americans, and it’s the perfect storm.

When we buy something we should be able to OWN IT. The “subscription service” way of life that gov’t has been encouraging in order to track the MINUTAE of our day to day activities is NOT TO OUR BENEFIT! Wake up. Then demand better from gov’t.
