Uncontrolled capitalism is going to kill us all. But at least the share holders will be pleased along the way.
This isn't capitalism, it's anti-government and anti-governance.
With capitalism as the primary mover.
It's cheaper for manufacturing if they don't want to worry about toxic waste products. The desire for more profit is behind this.
What happened to the conservatives that liked to preserve the environment for hunting, fishing, camping, etc?
I'm not sure we have Conservatives anymore, those that want to conserve things. I think perhaps they should be called Regressives, they that want to regress.
This is now what they will be called by me and anyone I can convince
Probably dead during covid or because that generation of people are dying off. Some religious folks might hold the rosy view that covid was the rapture.
I know of at least 6 dead and one on permanent Oxygen in Idaho. Covid denialism did no-one any favors.
Damn I really want to see an Evangelical version of Midnight Mass where Covid is the Rapture now.
Fucking GOP is going to kill us all much more quickly. It sounds insane written out but it's absolutely true
Hey everyone, thanks for attending our meeting on how to be more evil. We've got plenty of ideas to work on, but i think we should start with how we can better destroy the environment and earn some money while we do it.
It's interesting how these "critical cuts" we need to make to the budget always come out of the enforcement agencies keeping track of the companies bribing them with campaign money.
We need to vote them all out next year and then again in the next midterm
Smallest budget in 3 decades by dollar value, or inflation adjusted?
Something tells me if you account for inflation, it's gonna be more than 3 decades.
Democracy has been dead for the GOP. This is just authoritarianism in action under the guise of democracy. Fucking crooks.
What guise? I'm pretty sure the masks/hoods are off and it's full on bigot spigot.
Something something drown it in a bathtub.
I approve of cutting 40% of each gop house member off and using the waste fat (there will be a lot) to heat my house through the winter.
This is a way to pass the buck to Biden for the government shutdown. He’s likely to veto that, if it even gets there.
It'll never pass the Senate
The House is going to shut down the government and default on the debt.
The most terrifying words ever said are "I'm Republican and I'm here to help."
Fuck you got mine. The cunts will all be dead long before they feel the serious impact. Big baby jesus knows they don’t give a flying fuck about anyone else, not even their fucking progeny.
That's what we used to think but it's already here and thanks to those corrupt swine, it's only going to get worse faster as their owner donors ESCALATE rather than cut back, pretending that hypothetical carbon offsets erase real and immediate harm.
We gotta vote them out
It’s all fucked to shit. These fascists need to stop breathing
Gotta vote them out
Also fuck this guy:
while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.
If anything, that there's still someone other than Manchin calling themselves a Democrat while being deep enough in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry to vote for this bullshit is the newsworthy story here, not the GOP passing another turd that has no chance of clearing the Senate.
He's from Texas. Oil and gas owns both sides of the aisle in Texas.
Fuck legalized bribery. Vincentr Gonzalez in particular is just a dingleberry caught in the ass hair of our political system.
Of course they would.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Cutting funding is never easy or pretty, but with the national debt in excess of $33 trillion and inflation at an unacceptable level, we had to make tough choices to rein in federal spending,” Simpson said on the floor Thursday.
It additionally seeks to defund the EPA’s efforts to curtail toxic pollution and planet-warming emissions, preventing the agency from using funding to enforce its rules on power plants.
Rep. Chellie Pingree (Maine), the top Democrat on the Interior-Environment funding subcommittee, said the bill “debilitates America’s ability to address the climate crisis and hobbles the agencies within its jurisdiction.”
The bill looks drastically different from its counterpart in the Senate, which calls for $7 billion more in total funding than the legislation passed in the House and was approved with overwhelming bipartisan support in committee earlier this year.
The gap comes as no surprise, as House Republicans announced earlier this year they would be marking up their fiscal 2024 government funding plans below the budget caps deal struck between President Biden and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) over the summer.
But Simpson and other top appropriators told The Hill in recent days that they have been backing away from earlier plans to further big-dollar cuts to the funding legislation, as conservatives have signaled they’ll give Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
