It’s sad to see my party go so far off the rails. You brought ping-pong paddles to a gunfight. My party needs to look into the mirror and know that they’re the reason Donald Trump got elected. How did we get to this point? Why did every Democrat vote against taking men out of women’s sports? How do you continue to believe that the Democratic Party still holds credible values that represent the people who voted for them? You have turned my party into a shambles. and what’s really more horrifying to me is the failure to recognize that chemical castration of our youth is totally supported by Washington state. Are these the values you really want to represent? Give me back Senator Jackson and Warren Magnuson.

I voted to cut the budget. And I approve of Doge, if we put this cutting of the budget under some congressional committee, you’d still be trying to get to establish a meeting. It would never have worked because of politics doge only has reading authorization. I don’t think Elon Musk is out collecting my Social Security number where I live, etc., a congressional committee would never get it done. They’re incapable of that kind of honesty.

The House of Representatives passed a budget resolution (H.Con.Res.14) on February 25, 2025, by a vote of 217-215, setting the stage for a larger reconciliation bill to address tax and spending policies. This resolution is a framework, not the final tax bill, so it doesn’t contain specific policy details like individual tax cuts or program reductions. Instead, it provides instructions to House committees to craft legislation, including $4.5 trillion in net tax cuts and at least $2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years. The final details of what’s in or out will come later in the reconciliation process.

That said, there’s been significant chatter and confusion about what was “cut out” before this resolution passed, especially given earlier Republican promises and public expectations. Based on the resolution’s framework and sentiment on platforms like X, here’s what seems to have been de-emphasized or excluded from the initial plan before it reached this vote:

- **No Tax on Tips, Overtime, and Social Security**: During the 2024 campaign, President Trump and many Republicans pushed for eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits. These populist measures were widely discussed as part of the tax cut package. However, posts on X and some analyses suggest these specific provisions were either scaled back or omitted from the resolution’s instructions to the Ways and Means Committee. The resolution focuses on extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions, which don’t explicitly include these new exemptions. The absence could be a strategic move to keep the tax cuts’ cost manageable or due to internal GOP disagreement, but it’s not finalized—these could still resurface in the reconciliation bill.

- **Smaller Scope for Lower-Income Tax Relief**: Early rhetoric promised broad tax relief for working families, but the resolution’s $4.5 trillion in tax cuts aligns closely with extending the TCJA, which disproportionately benefits higher earners and corporations. Posts on X claim populist measures for those earning under $750,000 were sidelined, suggesting the focus shifted toward wealthier taxpayers and businesses. The TCJA extension includes lower individual rates and a doubled standard deduction, but without new provisions like the no-tax-on-tips idea, the immediate relief for lower and middle-income workers might be less pronounced than advertised.

What *is* clear from the resolution is the intent to cut spending significantly—$2 trillion over a decade—likely targeting programs like Medicaid ($880 billion instructed from the Energy and Commerce Committee) and SNAP ($230 billion from the Agriculture Committee). These cuts weren’t “removed” but are baked into the framework, despite some Republican resistance. The resolution also raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion and adds funding for border security ($110 billion) and defense ($100 billion), showing where priorities held firm.

The confusion stems from this being a blueprint, not the final bill. Some Republicans, like those in the Freedom Caucus, pushed for deeper cuts, while moderates worried about social program slashing—negotiations likely trimmed flashier, costlier tax ideas to secure the 217 votes. The reconciliation process will reveal what’s truly in or out, but for now, the buzz is that populist tax breaks took a backseat to TCJA renewal and spending reductions. Keep an eye on the Ways and Means Committee’s next moves—they’ll shape the specifics.

It means you get a wonderful title. Travel, get to make nonsensical statements for the good of housing poor people. And the money comes rolling. Job not done. But. HAS SHE EVERY SEEN A HUD PROJECT IN SMALL RURAL AMERICAN! They do look unloved, not painted. Trash. Old bicycles, parked tricycle parked,some sort of metal cabinets and maybe an old picnic table stacked high on the outsie kitchen wood. Lady Johnson president Johnson’s wife had a campaign called America beautiful again total waste of money.

Point of clarification: Musk is an employee of the government, not an elected official, just like the vast majority of government workers. As an employee, he has limited access and cannot change or influence what he reviews. From what I understand, he reports directly to the President. If you have questions, perhaps you should direct them to the President.

Moreover, under Musk’s leadership, DOGE employs around 40 government personnel. It's important to note that government employees across various departments typically represent a diverse mix of political affiliations, which likely includes Democrats within the Department of DOGE. Therefore, your inquiry needs to be reframed to take into account the broader scope of accountability that government departments adhere to.
