Chip Roy: “I have expressed my concern, which is real, that the first 5 years, first 4 years, in particular, you end up with significant deficits in those first years. And my experience in this town is that when you're banking on savings in the back half, they don't materialize”

Juan Ciscomani on whether backing the bill will hurt him in his swing AZ district. “I think we've gotten the bill to a place that could’ve looked much different had myself and others and I've been advocating for specifically in the Medicaid area.”

Johnson having problems on the right. Warren Davidson: “Currently, the bill spends more money than it would, than the status quo. I mean, so it doesn't actually help deficits. It actually hurts the deficits. … I think the bill's gonna have problems.”

THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO GET THROWN OUT OF OFFICE COME MIDTERMS NEXT YEAR. AMERICA IS NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THIS ADMINISTRATION MUCH LONGER.

Want to know the most overlooked metric in business? Return on effort. Everyone's obsessed with revenue targets and growth rates. But after years as a SaaS operator, I've learned something counterintuitive: The highest ROI often comes from the smallest effort applied to the right place. Let me explain... Mark talks about how soon there will be more AI agents than people. And everyone can create their own AI assistant. While the tech world debates if he's right, I'm already seeing this play out in real businesses today. Take CS for example. Traditional wisdom says to keep hiring as you grow. More customers = more support staff. But now, with AI, a single support person can handle dramatically more customers by letting AI agents handle the routine questions. Here's what has worked for our firms: > AI agents handling basic customer questions (aka 'how to') > Automated initial lead screening > Basic process automation for admin tasks The beauty? These tools are now accessible to even the smallest businesses. But here's where most people get it wrong... They try to automate everything at once. Or they overcomplicate their tech stack chasing marginal gains. The real wins come from identifying your highest-friction, lowest-value tasks and eliminating them first. It's not about fully automating your whole business. It's about using available tools to maximize return on (human) effort. Want to know more about building lean micro SaaS businesses?

The Big Beautiful Bill will add to the deficit right away says GOP Rep. Roy. This follows on last week's U.S. credit downgrade and associated tick up in mortgage rates (the current rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose by 0.55% in the last week).

They never materialize. That's one of the many reasons why the GOP is responsible for 70% of our national debt.

100% chance this clown caves when push comes to shove. Runs the same play every single time.

Chip Roy always caves! He’s full of shit.

Valid concerns and yet he caved... Pathetic.

yet Chip has voted for every god damned Trump budget-busting bill that came through the Republican Congress
