Nobody who is remotely acquainted with the federal budget would say something this ridiculous. It’s the free-lunch fantasy that you can balance the books by targeting “waste & fraud” rather than making hard choices that will be politically unpopular.

it is incredible to see folks complain that good people don't run for office, that lawmaking is a hobby for the rich, that our state legislators are run by car dealership freaks, and then insist that we shouldn't pay lawmakers any more than we do.

Tennessee Republicans have spent their entire time in power working to further disenfranchise and claw back every piece of political power and representation Black Tennesseans have gained. This is the current pinnacle but know that they will keep going until they have reinstated Jim Crow in full.
