  1. Yes, the first order of business for the BS debt commission ought to be spent studying how Trump’s 2 trillion dollar tax cuts contributed to the nation’s debt. Then they can examine the other 3 or 4 trillion dollars Bush racked up in his war to find non-existent nukes in Iraq.

    But Spartz, a Ukrainian by birth, and who along with Mike Braun and Jim Banks voted to cut Medicare and Social Security by 1/3 or else shut down the government, cannot be bothered to renounce the Republican Party that has now embraced Putin. She’s got principles alright.

    Thanks for your resignation. It is accepted.

    Humbly, A Voter

    1. Fake news folks – this person has got it all wrong – just skip even trying to understand it.

    2. Rebecca, calling something fake news is a tacit admission it’s true and you’ve got no other defense.

    3. Joe – not true. Fake news means its fake information. Firstly, the tax cuts under Trump actually increased receipts by growing GDP. But that may be too complicated for you to understand. The last year in office for Trump was during COVID and because of the Faucci shutdown it cost the country Trillions. Yes I said Faucci – as he was the master puppeteer in making sure no one knew the truth behind COVID. That’s complicated too and requires some thinking regarding cause and effect. Hence why I simply said “Fake News”

  2. Always amazing how members of Congress want to cut Medicare and Social Security. Are they on either? No they have their own very lucrative plan. Just have higher earners pay into SS based upon a higher earning cap. Seems simple.

    What happen to her concern for supposed “fellow Ukranians”? No mention of aid or funding. Yep, time for her and several others to go.

  3. Update: She just voted not to table Gaetz’s motion to vacate. We’ll see her final vote.. albeit, I’m perfectly fine with these right-wing sycophants handing Democrats, the minority party, additional power.

  4. She signed up for a thankless and impossible job. Between the gaslighting and lies by Democrats and the spineless Republicans who are afraid of their shadows, Washington D.C. is broken. There is no fixing it without a HUUUUGE shakeup among the political class and a draining of the swamp.

    I commend her for not getting in line to simply get rich by taking bribes and getting insider tips like many of them do.

    1. There were plenty of rumors she did that before she got into office… it’s never been exactly clear where her wealth came from …

    2. It’s not “Washington DC” that’s broken: it’s the Republican Party. They’re loonies.

  5. I think its so sad that TWO politicians are upset about our national $33T in debt and both of them are being made fun of and told to quit.

    The rest of the group is perfectly willing to get their bribes and payoffs and lucrative bennies to stay in power and do NOTHING – but you all would rather malign the TWO standouts.

    What is wrong with society
