@merrylynn06 August 2025 walkout of J. Talarico & other, Democrats were fined $422,000 in total charges that gridlock for the state. A special legislative session costs Texas taxpayers roughly $1 million , the standstill effectively halted state business on a "taxpayer dime".
My opinion
To slow down the $40.11 trillion U.S. national debt, you have designed a targeted fiscal package that addresses both the largest mandatory program and the largest discretionary spending pool.
