Read for comprehension. I wasn't quoting you so much as I was using text to let you know to what I was referring, i.e. I was extending a courtesy.
Fuck you. I don't need any favors from you. Your inability to read is your problem, not mine.

To government workers, a government shutdown is a free vacation. Sure, they get "furloughed" but that just means they can go to Tahiti or Cancún or wherever they wish to vacation, because once the budget is resolved, they all get back paid for all the time they were

The more I learn, the more obvious it becomes that this spending bill is a crime.
It even includes funding for the worst illegal censorship operation in the entire government (GEC)!
~Elon Musk
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.
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.

On Bluesky posting the truth gets you banned. It used to be that way on Twitter.
On 𝕏 posting a lie gets you corrected. It doesn't get you banned.
That's why the left hates Elon Musk.
𝕏 is the media now.
