“Last month, a mega-monstrous ‘continuing resolution’ (CR) — allowing federal deficit spending over the set debt limit — was killed by public outcry, helped along by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and others with megaphones or MAGAphones. This CR was chucked to the great annoyance of champions of runaway spending and runaway violations of individual rights. They babbled about the autocratic interference of one ‘President Musk.’ As if his complaints alone would have sufficed to kill it had nobody else in America cared. The mega-monstrous CR was replaced by a mini-monstrous CR. The replacement sported many fewer pages, things like a pay raise for congressmen having been left out. Also deleted? A part of the State Department devoted to censoring Americans.” (01/07/25)
