...and in other news

Come on. You can’t possibly believe that. At local, state, and federal level, there is a ton of waste.

20% believe it’s immaterial. The left should realize taking positions like this pushes more people to support Trump.
I will give you this. In Illinois, there is a great deal of waste and inefficiency at the state and local level. It is a disaster.
 
I’m saying over time. Not during Trump. Hopefully nothing but cuts from Trump. If he oversteps, there will be a correction with taxes down the road. If needed, I could support that. But only after massive cuts.
The BIden Admin or should we finally just say Obama's 3rd term Admin opened the borders for anyone and everyone on purpose. This "who is going to pick the crops" is BS. That's what getting a green card is for. Seasonal employment. The Leftists, including Big Pharma loving Bernie Sanders, complain about minimum wage being too low, but OTOH, they bring in people who aren't making close to minimum, which drives wages down for the working and middle class. These people also pay sales tax, but they don't pay income tax. Much of our dollars are sent back to their home country.

So, fix the border. Bring back manufacturing to the US. Tariffs actually are helpful from that standpoint. I wouldn't want too many of them, but I would also want more a more business-friendly environment created by our government policies to bring back the global multi-nationals and make it worth the money. There are reasons they left. Some aren't right, but others are. If you get the economy moving to higher paying/quality jobs, and move the working class up compared to the wealthy, now you have something real and sustainable for all. I will not support any tax increase on corporations or individuals until the corruption and fraud is rooted out of DC and our economic situation improves.
 
Don't pretend that Trump and Musk are going to cut trillions in spending. Taxes will have to be increased in some form to achieve sound financial footing.

Just laughable that you have lied about once being a conservative.

Jeff should know that if you just freeze spending and have a pro-growth agenda, the revenue gains will overtake the spending problems. You have total disdain for a president who is attacking waste and fraud. For goodness sake, Hamas has tons of US Aid boxes and 50,000,000 dollars worth of condoms? Illegals being housed for 59M in NYC (just one of many payments). Do you really defend your new parties reckless spending Jeff? Or are you just here to whine about a man who has scrambled your brain?

Your downward trajectory is very sad to witness over the past 18 months.

Here are your two claims:

1) The Federal budget has ballooned to $7 trillion
2) Services are being cut to the "poor"

I don't believe the second one. BTW, Trump has been in office for less than a month. He hasn't cut taxes.
The Federal Budget is 7 trillion. That is a fact not a claim.

Trump will extend the tax cuts. It will happen.
 
OK. I really don't know what to think of this chem trails thing. This post isn't about the OP, it's about the post underneath, which I find absolutely hilarious. Regardless of political affiliation, this post is comedic gold.

How will you fix Social Security and Medicare without payroll tax increases?
 
47% of the population does not pay any federal income taxes. How are they being helped by tax cuts? Cutting spending and taxes is just a massive wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy.
Other than overstaffing, the idea that waste, fraud and abuse are material is complete BS.

Congratulations, Jeff, your transition to full-fledged Democrat is COMPLETE!!!

A "MASSIVE WEALTH TRANSFER FROM THE POOR" to the rich! Make it make sense, Jeff. The massive wealth of the poor?
 
OK. So this is the second time I've seen someone complain about Pam Bondi. If I understand our system correctly, what they want Bondi to do is the job of the Solicitor General? Ami I wrong?

C'mon Jeff. First you attack the massive fraud in all phases of government, and it is massive whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. That is you problem. When you are spending endless money as your party did this past 4 years - growing the government by a permanent 2T per year, oversight is impossible as intended.

The treasury has always been the place to control to maintain power. Always for 3000 years and counting. That is why an audit of that is absolutely destructive to the Deep State (plenty of Republicans getting rich, too).

Find the fraud, cut a bunch of the abundant fat and you may find that SS and Medicare can support the Americans who deserve it. But, like a good little Democrat, your new answer to everything is we need tax increases. AND, government is perfect, there is no FW&A. Lala land with Stone in the afternoon.

Same here in Colorado.

They bought a hotel for $9 million just over a year ago, and were going to provide housing. Well that never happened and now they are trying to sell it for $10. Not a joke.

People are tired of this shit.

This is getting ridiculous for sure. The judges are impeachable. They are trying to run the executive branch. Trump should just ignore them as Biden did on the student loan debt forgiveness.

 
Social Security and Medicare need additional taxes to fix the deficit. Or do you want poor seniors to become poorer and go without medical care?
SS and Medi ARE FULL OF FRAUD and other criminal acts.

See Senator Kennedy (La) for his expose on fraud in SS. Like the number of 100 + individuals STILL receiving checks !

I want dead people to go without !
 
It is a lot of money, and although as pertains to USAID it is a small part of the problem, it's still part of the problem. It's what the money was intended to accomplish (despite how it was couched) is where I think we'll see things that typical US taxpayers aren't proud of.
It is overseen by Congress by line item, don't believe Elon and Trump pre-emptive lie assault.

Uncoach, go get the tinfoil out of the cabinet, make a cap double thick for yourself. Problem solved. Or you can stop following RW nutjobs on social media.
 
I disagree with this to a certain extent. While I understand the ED is bloated and ineffective, there are blue states that are also bloated and too far to the left to be educating. Responsibility needs to be handed down as locally as possible…provided the education meets certain basic level testing standards. Some states are easier with home schooling kids than others. It isn’t as simple as just giving it back to the states. I could be persuaded, if a really good argument is presented though.

Costs are not supported to gains.

Here is one school district in NJ that 60 years ago was THE premier District at the Jersey Shore.
Asbury Park School District. It is the sending High School for about 12 small towns too small for a high school.

There is a convoluted formula of how many and what % will attend AP or elsewhere.

The cost PER PUPIL (less than 600 K - 12 kids in AP itself .) , was almost $ 40,000 PER STUDENT !

I made the argument that several local Elementary, Catholic or Charter or Private or regular High Schools could take ALL the kids !

The AP District pay $ 20,000 per student to everywhere else and CLOSE ALL the schools in AP and save millions !

No it is our system of Government , Federal Judges are unelected, serve for life to prevent politics. They decide what actions are lawful and which are not. Maga only support judges that rule in their favor, or elections that they win.
Federal Judges can be impeached or removed for bad behavior.

Yes but not for ruling against MAGA because MAGA can't stand to follow the law or election results. Call themselves patriots but instead are authoritarian loving and very unamerican.

Congressional oversight, if it does exist to any meaningful extent for USAID, is probably the one thing I would put less faith in than I would in the proclamations of a full time town crier for left wing talking points. We shall see.

Why do we always hear about these massive bills that can’t be read in time for a vote?

You really want me to believe they go line by line? That’s the argument now? Once again you are asking people to believe the unbelievable.

You think our Congress people who can barely walk and talk read the 2,700 page infrastructure bill line by line? That’s crazy talk.

So everyone should support the Supreme Court judges who overturned Roe v. Wade and ruled on immunity from prosecution for Presidents.

While we hear from people in Congress that USAID stonewalls them when they ask questions. We'll see how it all shakes out. A pretty good cohort in this country will never acknowledge the truth.

The judge that was "just following the law" needed to tweek his ruling as it was dumb to exclude the Sec of Treasury. This is what happens when you are pulling legal rulings out of your ideological backside.

There is no way you read the actual reply I referenced and included. No way. Let me help you by just quoting it.

So what chemicals are being deployed? Where are the aircraft landing and being serviced? What is the dosage required for effective reaction? What is the interval required between doses? Who is flying these aircraft? How are the aircrew protected from exposure? Does it affect squirrels and badgers? Do the chemicals make you horny?

SOoooo many unanswered questions !

It’s beyond hilarious and blows the OP out of the water. “Do the chemicals make you horny?” Say that in an Austin Powers voice…”Do the chemicals make you horny, baby?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Purely entertaining and a smackdown of the chemtrail X post and you missed the humor and the point because MAGA. You must be fun at parties!

I have come to the conclusion that Stone doesn't deep dive for great reading comprehension. He is more of a light skimmer on info. Really, really light! 😜

Did you forget the Democrats introduced a bill which would limit SCOTUS judges to an 18-year term?
