First, there's Ron Paul, who says he doesn't like the amount of money sloshing around, then does an about face and says he'll vote FOR it — if the debt ceiling increase is removed.
This lets him play the part of voting to increase the debt, then voting against increasing the debt ceiling later. A true hypocrite as well as a poseur; no wonder many fellow Rethuglicans don't like Sen. Squirrel Hair. (At least the carpet weaver has added a few touches of gray to the weave.)
Ron Johnson calls the budget bill's deficits "completely unsustainable" before saying he wants to see Trump succeed. Translation? "I'll vote for it while pretending to be a deficit hawk," kind of like Squirrel Hair.
Johnson then invoked Elmo Musk and DOGE as his "out," apparently in the idea that he can blame Trump for not listening to Musk if he has to — all while keeping an ear to the ground of which of the two is more popular among wingnuts-sqaured.
Meanwhile, in the House that just passed it, Speaker Mike Johnson, the choirboy with Peter's two swords, did his St. Ronald of Reagan, Jack Kemp, Art Laffer, etc., said the CBO has it wrong, and this big beautiful new deficit will do a supply side self healing.
