Jay Obernolte preaches deficit reduction, supports Musk in raucous Yucca Valley town hall

From the way the article reads, Jay got lit up.

GOP has gotten a lot of mileage out of the trope that they are just saving money. It's just such a fucking lie, and not even a convincing one.
- And they're still getting mileage because the "Liberal Media" consistently spreads conservative lies.
Obernolte repeated several times he thinks the federal deficit is too high: “I think it is the single biggest existential threat facing our country today.”
“Tax the billionaires!” a person shouted from the audience.
“The fact that we’re running a $2 trillion deficit is really disturbing,” the congressman continued.
They just ignore the people at this point.
- In the article he went on to say it’s not a revenue issue, it’s a spending issue.
  I’d still tax the billionaires. Working class should get tax cuts, lower retirement age, less working days.
