AI Revolution vs Congress
Generation X Delivers
By now, you have heard Congress debating a “Continuing Resolution” to prevent the Federal Government from “shutting down”.
The legacy media and Democrats are already attacking Elon Musk and Trump for the chaos. There smear shows how far behind the technological curve. Hey, I would be happy to call it the Age of Elon. He delivers innovation. But blaming him for Congressional chaos is just a smear.
So what is happening? AI is happening. If Congress can’t read a thousand page bill, AI can. And that is precisely what is happening. Through social media, particularly X, people have been putting the proposal through AI, especially Grok, and came up with shocking results. The so called Continuing Resolution is an Omnibus bill with increase salaries for Congress and other changes in laws. Accountability has arrived in the form of AI. Generation X has arrived. Conservative media sources have yet to catch on but you will hear more soon.
Vivek Ramaswamy, part of the Department of Government Effiency group, nailed the whole proposal (https://x.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1869407887983821089).
“I wanted to read the full 1,500+ page bill & speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that, here's my view: it's full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics. If Congress wants to get serious about government efficiency, they should VOTE NO. Keeping the government open until March 14 will cost ~$380BN by itself, but the true cost of this omnibus CR is far greater due to new spending. Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year: ~$130BN. Disaster relief: $100BN. Stimulus for farmers: $10BN. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement: $8BN. The proposal adds at least 65 cents of new spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending. The legislation will end up hurting many of the people it purports to help. Debt-fueled spending sprees may "feel good" today, but it's like showering cocaine on an addict: it's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will see more land sold to foreign buyers when taxes inevitably rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item in our national budget. Congress has known about this deadline since they created it in late September. There's no reason why this couldn't have gone through the standard process, instead of being rushed to a vote right before Congressmen want to go home for the holidays. The urgency is 100% manufactured & designed to avoid serious public debate. The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill. There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” policy; renewal of the much-criticized "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate. We're grateful for DOGE's warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need a smaller & more streamlined federal government, but actions speak louder than words. This is an early test. The bill should fail.“
The Nebraska Congressional delegation is going to have to give some of their favored lobbyists a big letdown on favored proposals. The Revolution has arrived, brought to you by Generation X. And you can contact Congressman Bacon at:
