Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), known for his staunch fiscal conservatism, is making it clear: he’s a firm #NO on the #Republican #debt plan.
In a C-SPAN interview, #Massie dismantles the party’s own talking points, revealing that even under the most optimistic assumptions, the proposal adds hundreds of billions to the #deficit in the coming years. According to Massie, leadership’s numbers show a $328 billion increase in 2025 alone—with no real plan to control spending beyond vague promises of future restraint.
Having served in #Congress for 12 years, Massie has seen multiple so-called “10-year plans” under #Boehner and #Ryan—none of which ever played out as promised. He remains skeptical that this time will be any different.
With the deficit skyrocketing and fiscal responsibility on the line, Massie’s message is clear: empty promises won’t fix #America’s #economic future.

Whether truth or tale, such remarks touch on sensitive issues regarding fiscal responsibility and transparency in government.”_

“…the American people’s struggle is to protect democracy and the rule of law. Equally important, we must end oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just the few.”
Enough said.

We owe more money than any Nation in the World, and we are LOWERING TAXES. When is the time to pay off a debt if it is not when you are doing well? […] Will you tell me any good reason (OUTSIDE OF POLITICS) why Taxes should be lowered this year? I know it’s good politics to lower taxes. In fact, did you ever figure it out Taxes is all there is to Politics? I bet you tomorrow if you started a Political Party and had this as its platform , “No taxes are to be paid at all. We will borrow money on our National resources for all current expenses. Remember the Slogan. No Taxes as long as we can borrow.” Well I will bet you you would have the biggest Political party in America .

HERE COMES THE NEXT CON.
#DonTheCon... who promised & failed to balance the #budget and reduce the #NationalDebt during his first term (before EXPLODING the #Debt/#Deficit) is about to try & convince people that our Debt isn't really as big as people (you know: Accountants & Auditors) say it is due to fraud. #SuckersAndLosers #BornEveryMinute #TooStupidForPolitics

crypto bros out here proposing a "flywheel" mechanism by which Trump can use #TRUMP tokens to solve the national debt crisis...
at least he's clear eyed about the fact that bitcoin is really no different from #TrumpCoin...
In America's history, 21.8% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of Trump's Presidency, 21.8%. How dare Republicans lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.
2025 could end up being the year of:
Less government investment in public services.
Cancellation of government schemes.
Increased interest rates, making mortgages and loans more expensive.
