Up In Arms

So the Republican Party wants you to believe that they are fiscal conservatives and that it's incredibly important to reduce the federal budget.

So much so they are employing the world's richest person to shame poor people and take their Social Security.

Despite that it appears to be perfectly ok to spend $1 trillion dollars on the defense budget
The largest defense budget in history that is larger than the next 10 countries combined. Eight of which are our allies.

So a hearty FUCK YOU to Musk and the other Republicans that want to lecture anybody on the size of the federal budget deficit.

"Can't afford aid for Ukraine", say prevaricating imbeciles in Congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
