    getting defence spending up 3%

    Somebody’s gotta do it, and I don’t see the rest of the civilized world chipping in.

    capping all non-defence discretion spending

    Yep, that’s what tends to happen when Americans vote Republican. Protip: don’t vote Republican.

    requiring an end date to student loan repayment holds

    A setback, nothing more. There have been headlines of further attempts to get student debt forgiven, and again, filling Congress with Democrats will get it done.

    actually getting money to the IRS so they can do their job

    Over the vigorous objections of Republican billionaires who desperately don’t want to get caught evading taxes. That’s a big deal.

    really don’t want to see what him sucking up is like.

    You already did see it, in 2017 through 2021. It, uh, was not good.
