Hyperbole - a way of speaking or writing that makes someone or something sound bigger, better, more, etc. than they are:

Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money)

I love when people discover basic grammar.

Not sure if this had anything to do with hating Trump since the first bill was a bipartisan bill between both GOP and Dems which mind you is pretty much how the government should work.  You know both sides agreeing to something because both sides get what they want.  Then it was pulled because the new President, Musk had issues with it and then Vice President Trump chimed in just like most vice presidents following the direction of their President.  If anything the bill that was approved by everyone is basically what was presented in the first place.

How dare you pull a birther conspiracy theory like Republicans pulled on Obama against America's Great President Musk!

Shameful! Should have known you'd divert to something else after being corrected on the spending bill! Smh! Smdh!

Money for 9/11 Health Care Was Dropped from Year-End Spending Bill

This must have been the useless spending, huh?

I think lawmakers just love to be admonished by John Stewart. Has to be their kink over there.

Rand Paul Releases Report Detailing $1,000,000,000,000 In Gov’t Waste. Here Are The Worst Offenders

“This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul wrote in the report. “That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 Million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more! No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.”

The Department of the Interior (DOI) spent $12 million on a Las Vegas Pickleball Complex, according to the report. The DOI also spent $720,479 on wetland conservation projects for ducks in Mexico.

“I have a lot of problems with federal spending, and now it’s time to hear all about them,” Paul wrote in the report.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded the Bearded Ladies Cabaret a $10,000 grant to support a cabaret show on ice skates focused on climate change, according to the report. The NEA also spent $365,000 to promote circuses in city parks, the report states.

The Department of Health and Human Services spent $419,470 to determine if lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats, the report states.

The National Science Foundation spent $288,563 to ensure bird watching groups have safe spaces, also known as “Affinity Groups,” according to the report.

Report really pads itself to get to a trillion. Basically just list a couple things that cost a million dollars and then says also we have to pay interest that's on the national debt of $900 billion. The rest is made up of a 90 billion dollar military thing. This is just a reminder that you can get rid of all the $10,000 grants to cabarets you want, it is not going to affect the budget.

Agreed. But, we need to start somewhere.
