Description

House Republican leaders tentatively planned to vote on President Trump’s rescission package during the week of May 5, 2025. The package includes $9.3 billion in cuts to the State Department, NPR, PBS, and other areas, with the majority of the cuts focused on foreign aid, totaling roughly $8 billion. The vote was part of a fast-track procedure that allows it to be considered with just a simple majority required for passage in the Senate. As Congressman Massie points out, that vote has been indefinitely postponed, and may not happen at all, so the spending cuts from DOGE may not amount to much in the long run. Jimmy and former HUD Assistant Director Catherine Austin Fitts discuss the various reasons why the House’s Republican leadership might prefer not to bring these cuts up for a vote on the floor.

You can't vote your way out of a totalitarian oligarchy. The system is too corrupt.

The word "swamp" is used to describe the mess in DC. This includes GOP and democrats. Way to much money is being accepted by politicians on both sides for them to actually clean up the government.

Corrupt Senate is never going to cancel their personal Gravy Train. They have always represented the Oligarchy, and always will.
