You're cheering an additional $4-$6 Trillion in new borrowing, mostly going in tax cuts for the world's wealthiest.
Yes or no: if you extend expiring tax cuts while running annual deficit budgets,, does that represent trillions of NEW borrowing?
These morons are acting like tax cuts are free.
Tax cuts while running deficits represent government spending.

What Republicans have done in Bush's 2 tax cuts and Trump's 2 tax cuts is analogous to someone deep in debt who, instead of getting another job to bring in more income to pay down the debt (collecting all taxes due instead of cutting IRS), reduces their income by cutting from 40 to 30 hours a week (tax cuts). AND claim that cutting their hours and additional income will bring in even more money
Anyone would consider an individual like that to have absolutely no fiscal common sense. And a liar for making their claims.
As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas
Some experts say staff shortages might have complicated forecasters' ability to coordinate responses with local emergency management officials.
Crucial positions at the local offices of the National Weather Service were unfilled as severe rainfall inundated parts of Central Texas on Friday morning, prompting some experts to question whether staffing shortages made it harder for the forecasting agency to coordinate with local emergency managers as floodwaters rose.
Texas officials appeared to blame the Weather Service for issuing forecasts on Wednesday that underestimated how much rain was coming. But former Weather Service officials said the forecasts were as good as could be expected, given the enormous levels of rainfall and the storm's unusually abrupt escalation.
The staffing shortages suggested a separate problem, those former officials said " the loss of experienced people who would typically have helped communicate with local authorities in the hours after flash flood warnings were issued overnight.
