My take on Trump vs Elon/Massie/Rand Paul on the bill:
Trump: "We have a game this Sunday, we need to win!"
Elon: "Sir, we've discovered all the players are cocaine addicts."
Trump: "Let's go get it!"
Elon: "We need them to get off the coke, it's not sustainable."
Trump: "If we take away the coke now, we're gonna get smoked!"
Both are correct, though we *should* at least have a plan to wean them off of it. Problem is even the hint of a plan sends them in a panic that the coke will be taken away.
Result: per Lyn Alden “Nothing stops this train." (And it's even more apt, since the quote is literally from a meth cooker in Breaking Bad.")
