Uncontrolled capitalism is going to kill us all. But at least the share holders will be pleased along the way.

What happened to the conservatives that liked to preserve the environment for hunting, fishing, camping, etc?

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.

Democracy has been dead for the GOP. This is just authoritarianism in action under the guise of democracy. Fucking crooks.

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.

Something something drown it in a bathtub.

The free market is going to kill us all.

Richard Nixon is rolling in his grave.

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.

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.

It’s all fucked to shit. These fascists need to stop breathing

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.

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.)
