Analysts show that capital expenditures on AI were so big over the last 6 months they added more to the GDP than *all consumer spending*. That growth is offsetting pain from the tariffs and slow job growth.

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
