A supposed Libertarian tellinf Republicans to work with the tards? He's hitting the crack pipe or he's not a Libertarian.......likely both.

[@katieschannel742]

Wesen fool, libretarians are very conservative when it comes to economics. What differs us from other conservatives is how much social freedom we want for all

[@MeanBeanComedy]

[@waddadawd]

The argumentation and partisanship of Congress is definitely a good thing. When the two parties work together, it means that they’re trying to pass a even worse monstrosity than they would try to pass alone.

[@starkillersneed]

That's true. The only thing Republicans and Democrats agree on is fucking us over.

[@raedwulf61]

Rand Paul is possibly the smartest guy in the senate.

[@Neopulse00]

[@AngelaRichter65]

It's California, so...

That's in cali, so its probably only a couple million... anywhere else

[@homewall744]

And we get to build a new embassy in Jerusalem for no real reason.

[@bug5654]

Union labor is expensive...and totally not anything like organized crime.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

Woo there. I am from San Diego. It's not $1 billion to expand the light rail line. It's $2.1 billion. The other half is from a half percent sales tax increase. The costs mainly come from 2 sources. 1) High real estate prices in the area of intended construction starting at $300k for a Condo and $800k for a house. Any sort of eminent domain will carry a large price tag. 2) Complying to all the bullshit environmental oversights California has in place. Actual construction, planning, and operation is probably under $100 million. That isn't actually the highest estimated cost of light rail in the county. They will also be making light rail travel through the historic center of the city going through densely populated and even more expensive real-estate. In total, the county expects to spend $50 billion in transportation improvements from now through 2030 mostly funded through local taxes and federal grants. California is a Democrat state, and a Republican city like San Diego often gets short-changed by the state so it needs to fund it's obligations through locally collected revenue. The last major construction by the state in the City was when Reagan built a wall on the southern border between Mexico and California.

Too bad New Years resolutions are not kept by anyone

[@MollyOKami]

Not true! I made a New Year's resolution that I've kept for over a decade. …It was to never make anymore New Year's resolutions. …Seriously, though. I've kept it. I swore to never make New Year's resolutions. It's too easy to fall and get back up, but, after awhile, you can't take it anymore and put it off until next year. Now, I can set goals any time of the year, so, if I fail, I can take a break from it, re-think the plan (see why I kept failing), and try again, later. Make this at any point of the year and you can't excuse not restarting right away.

[@UTubekookdetector]

@Wholedsale: I just made a resolution sir. I am going to drive down to the store & grab a can of beer. Then I will drink it. :) Hope you have a great new year!

[@NathanLucas5]

Quick, get them to resolve to spend more money

[@kingargon]

We didn’t pay $426,000 to watch a shrimp run on a treadmill. We paid $682,000.

[@mrpoliceemsfire1]

Congress literally has a resource called the Library of Congress which is full of people with degrees in very specific fields in which can be called upon at any time anywhere to get detailed information on specific fields of information that they're about to vote on but yet refuse to use that resource.

[@lawrencemiller3829]

1. All bills must be single topic. There must be penalties if anyone submits a bill with >1 topic, they must be expelled from ever serving in any government position. 2. Eliminate the amendment process and changing of a bill after submission. There must be penalties if anyone attempts to amend or change a bill, they must be expelled from ever serving in any government position. Don't like a bill?: Submitter can retract bill. 3. Bills must be made public on a government website, thomas.loc.gov, within 1 day of submission. This includes and is not limited to bill text, submitter, cosponsors, actions, and votes. The bill must be public indefinitely. There must be penalties if a bill and its status are not made public within the 1 day, they must be expelled from ever serving in any government position. 4. Bills cannot be voted in committee or else where until at least 1 year after publication on the government website. There must be penalties if anyone votes or attempts to vote on a bill before the 1 year, they must be expelled from ever serving in any government position. 5. Eliminate voice votes. Votes of all elected officials must be recorded. There must be penalties if a vote is not recorded, they must be expelled from ever serving in any government position and the bill must be nullified. While these won't prevent corruption, waste, and treason, they might slow down these bad things.

[@firearmsstudent]

To be fair a lot of waste is because agencies are incentivized to use it or lose it

[@MirzaAhmed89]

What ever happened to Sarah Siskind?

[@willyreeves319]

if you think of it as only $17,218 per foot of trolley track it doesn't seem as bad

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

There's actually a pride flag for that.

[@homewall744]

It'll take a revolution to make a solution. There's no incentive for politicians to appeal to the few voters over the donor class, and the courts have failed to protect our liberties, like equal protection under the law and allowing corporate money to pretend to be free speech (even though corporations have zero voting rights and presumably should pay 0% taxes unless it's okay for them to suffer taxation without representation), and we saddle the future with debt to pay for services they never received (effectively taxation on the future without representation too).

The good old days of just $20 trillion in national debt.

[@faarsight]

The science shrimp thing was probably legit. It may look ridiculous but a lot of useful research will look ridiculous out of context.

[@UTubekookdetector]

How about adopting Rand Paul's plan where federal spending is *frozen* at ~3.2 trillion (yeah, trillion) until FY2026. Congress can spend whatever it wants on whatever it wants, but once you reach that ceiling....

[@rocketr8968]

Spending caps aren't that great of an idea because, during a recession, the government needs to pump money into the economy to reignite the economy. I agree that we should do something about the debt, but spending caps may cause more harm than good.

[@DragonKing-cy5xp]

Keynesian economics is a scam. It has literally zero proof of effectiveness.

[@gregorythompson5334]

Stop spending. Government can't help themselves

[@MWRredundant]

yeah that reading the bill bill would have been nice before the GOP rammed the tax bill without anyone reading it

[@allcommiescaneatshitanddie2604]

MWRredundant vs when they did the same thing with Obamacare?

[@MWRredundant]

Exactly. Both examples of this should be a national disgrace. if there was someone with a backbone on either party they would have protested this on the house floor

[@ironmanjakarta8601]

If Trump thinks tweeting diatribes against his enemies helps to promote his agenda, I would tend to believe him because he's a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist who beat the world to become the leader of the free world, as apposed to a normie, broke, never gives to charity, comedian who's never won anything his entire life except that art contest in kindergarten.
