Two thumbs up for Biden's speech this morning
Yeah I was up at 5:30 am this morning. So I watched his speech and him taking questions. He knew the issues, always on point and no senior moments. I am 68 and yes, I have senior moments. Most of all I keep forgetting words. Such as ambiguous, which is the word they use to describe intersex people. And oh yes you do need to educate people on that issue. I personally had no idea it even existed.

…the purpose is ambiguous 
And every time that happens FQX is guaranteed to broadcast it with some negative comments like
he's unfit to lead this Country. 
where he mentioned how the GOP wanted to "increase military spending" but "cut" programs for the poor and middle class (paraphrase).

House Republicans’ plan is not about fiscal responsibility.
They’re pushing tax cuts for the rich, all while working to cut programs working families count on.
House Republicans' Idea of "Fiscal Responsibility" A chart show that the cost of extending the Trump Tax Cuts skewed to the wealthy is $3.5 trillion and savings from poverty-increasing work requirement proposals are $11 billion.

They are SUPPOSED TO go through each Department's budget request, one by one, in the assigned Committees, and start doing markups for what the appropriations will be for that department's/agency's line items for the upcoming fiscal year (FY24, which starts October 1st, 2023).
But they don't want to "do the work" and would rather shortcut it by holding the debt ceiling hostage to demand draconian cuts in the things that they don't want (things that help actual people and the places that they live) so they can INCREASE the funding for things they DO want (more military and more subsidies for big corporations who have already realized record profits), while removing even more revenue that those big corporation and the wealthy would pay in taxes, instead of being required to pay their fair share. 
know!
