What are Republicans getting for their votes for this budget. It must be good to sell out so many of their supporters. They can't all be on the Epstein list, can they?

randymorrison.bsky.social•99 days ago

I HATE it when people use 2 different styles of listing numbers. The first three are % of the budget. The last is a $ amount. This makes it impossible to compare unless you provide the total budget number along with it. Similarly, the tax cut is assumed. It could be more if they make more.

This from the guy who said he would make sure he has no conflicts with his work. Who’s surprised really

hpvpaul2.bsky.social•99 days ago

The wife and I got in huge argument, since the elected Dems are just begging for money instead of doing something physical, I think she’s right, f the Democrats and run, if they don’t give an F, I probably should just f’ing run away too. F$&@ing elected Dems just sitting around collecting money.

justinseibel.bsky.social•99 days ago

And what percent is defense?

eechaze.bsky.social•99 days ago

Elon finding ways to pay for his tax cuts. All on the backs of the most vulnerable. Talk about a rigged system.

annoyingliberal.bsky.social•99 days ago

5 trillion over 10 years is 500 billion, which over 6.7 trillion budget is only 7% of the budget. It's not going to increase the deficit.

dmpro.bsky.social•99 days ago

Exactly. NONE OF THEM SHOULD GET OR DESERVE ANY TAX CUTS. Every single one of them, Exploits, and Oppresses their employees. If they paid their fair share of taxes we would all be better off. They all need to stop being greedy a**holes.

scottogrotto.bsky.social•99 days ago

So what percentage of the budget do renewing the tax cuts represent?

It’s clear America can’t afford such expensive giveaways when so deeply in debt.

These wealthy entitlements are toxic to the well being if our country.

ewr1947.bsky.social•99 days ago

They are grabbing as much as they can before they run, all the while preaching nationalism. For some reason, the titanic comes to mind.

It's all theater, to enable them to loot the nation. They have no interest in governing and certainly no concern for the people of America.

This might be the reasons why:

itsmepd.bsky.social•99 days ago

I personally feel like the general population feels positively when they hear the phrase tax cuts. Maybe our message should be at a time when Americans are struggling more than ever MAGA is gutting what little healthcare we have to fund more wealth are for their billionaire donors.

As a former auditor, you don’t make changes first and then look for the outcomes, rather you look for problems first and then make changes to effect the right outcomes.

Yeah, if DOGE was serious about improving efficiency in Government, they would not be taking the actions that they are taking.

DOGE is a complete miraGE

shirllymarkiewicz.bsky.social•99 days ago

Forbes magazine article from yesterday said that Muskrat is planning on downloading all the government's information into his AI programs. Dystopian type of future unless it's stopped

jadeape.bsky.social•99 days ago

Agreed. To prevent corruption, the Government that Elon accuses of being corrupt, actually has many laws about handling personal identifiable information, and classified information.

Before Trump came in, anyone doing what Musk is doing now with all this data would be arrested and jailed.

shirllymarkiewicz.bsky.social•99 days ago

Muskrat said in the oval office that he wants to shut down the mine where all the SS of Americans are stored. He lied about the efficiency with quack theories. He said he'll put all that info on his AI program. Will we be required to have one of his implants he makes to do everything?

jadeape.bsky.social•98 days ago

If we're required to get brain implants, then we won't be able to get Musk's Neurolink brand implants because doing so would be a conflict of interest, and would be most unethical! 🤣

hellomuself78.bsky.social•99 days ago

Doge isn’t a real agency so why aren’t dems suing? I thought congress controls the purse and makes these agencies?? Can congress/dems/state ag’s get dirt from that fired fec chair about the 31 cases republicans refused to investigate against dt?

whmapping.bsky.social•99 days ago

#WhereIsCongress ?

hellomuself78.bsky.social•99 days ago

Wondering this myself. Dems plan to ignore them even though they’re terrorizing America and federal workers. James Carville and Jeffries said to play dead. Also, Jeffries is a huge disappointment because he met with Silicon Valley to make apologies, the guys who are terrorizing us.

whmapping.bsky.social•99 days ago

Carville said, “ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD” isn’t a strategy.

It’s accepting defeat.

nackereia.bsky.social•99 days ago

Republicans have the majority in Congress. Hence, lack of lawsuits over the band of barely legal bros.

hellomuself78.bsky.social•99 days ago

We still have courts where they can file lawsuits. I have never seen anything like this.

nackereia.bsky.social•99 days ago

Oh yes. I was pointing out they seem to be more loyal to the party than the Constitution they pledged to uphold.

For lawsuits making it to court, people seem willing to perjure themselves on the stand and be the sacrificial lamb for the party. It’s wild to me.

patrickhenry48.bsky.social•99 days ago

GDP = Private Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Exports – Imports. Mass firing of government employes, rapid cuts in government spending, trade wars, deportations, etc. reduce GDP. Lower GDP means people lose housing, healthcare, and other essentials. Did you vote for this?

alisonola.bsky.social•99 days ago

Anyone who hasn't figured this out yet is a special kind of stupid. Under Trump's first term multi-billionaires saw a 400% increase in wealth while everyone else lost income. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos already have more wealth than the lower 50%. This is all about a fascist grab for power and wealth.

They are trimming the government and hoping it will collapse so corporations can take more control

alicekramden.bsky.social•97 days ago

Musk has been pd $21 billion to his businesses & NOT IMPARTIAL, no govt acting experience. The proper way to do this project would have been to have an experienced auditor go through each agency, do analyses of function/service loss, waste or fraud, documented with detailed backup.

alicekramden.bsky.social•97 days ago

Justification for the billionaire tax cut has always been expected reinvestment in our economy, business capital, raises for employees, etc.; also know as trickle down economics. Trickle down economics HAVE historically failed every time; increased debt.

alicekramden.bsky.social•97 days ago

Clearly Trump & company pulled the rug out from under all voters. He said he would NOT cut social security; The budget cuts SS; policies will roll back women's rights, make it harder for them to get/keep jobs (if DEI connected). Where is the Supreme Court????

emi8ime.bsky.social•99 days ago

The problem is you’re not translating those $numbers into how Americans will go homeless, starve & die.

Give us numbers we can understand in relation to ourselves.

Bring epidemiologists/psychologists sociologists etc your argument.
There are plenty here who just lost jobs.

Show us how we Die!

He's not trimming 6% of the budget with his workforce reductions. Not even close.

v62a.bsky.social•99 days ago

We’ve been living in an oligarchy for the past 20 years.

mzmo.bsky.social•99 days ago

This sort of thing needs to compare actual numbers. Like I don't think most Americans know the total federal budget is around $6-7 trillion and that just interest on the national debt is about $1T, and therefore these cuts don't make material changes for deficit reduction purposes

I see the problem. But what I also see, is that for all of the reaction to what’s ongoing, what’s already been accomplished is the compromising of our national security beyond repair. We are now simply waiting for the first terrorist attack, with no way to prevent it. Am I missing something?
