None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.

That ignorance is the pablum they're feeding to their MAGAT followers, who actually ARE that stupid. They need to know what to think that can keep their hatred alive, and the Oligarchs are happy to oblige.
Uhm. Trump added 20% spent on tax cuts for the billionaires in his last therm? It’s not gonna become any smaller now. But seriously, that will be money printing because who is gonna invest in the us at this time?
It's not ignorance,it's not random
They have narrative which they have to follow
ruSSia wants world stop to help Ukraine
And they pay them for this shit
They are not stupid,they are corrupted
Honestly it’s like being in a car on the highway - your 8 year old driving and he’s only got one imperative and pressing goal - where’s the nearest Dairy Queen.
It’s scarier than that. This is a talking point that countless MAGAS and F*Elon Fanboys will spread across right wing media. People will just believe it because they really are that stupid and evil.
They think we can actually Google how the government is spending the money, and that same corrupt government is going to make it available to us? 🤣🤣 I needed that laugh today
Well I don't know if you know this already but the word 'trump' is a UK colloquialism for a fart, so it describes him perfectly. Full of hot air, signifying nothing.
Their narrative is government spending is all fraud, theft & anti-white agendas, & “they” had been trying to get answers about where the money is going and were met with stonewalling. Maga believes this garbage and that what Musk is doing is an audit and we are squawking because we are “caught.”
Everyone should be reading @joshtpm The man has an uncanny ability to read and understand and explain the moment, even if only in a fragmentary way at times as he's working things out, and place it in context in a way that few others seem to do well. He makes it easier to understand what's happening
13 US billionaires & just shy of a trillion dollar National Debt in 1980. Apply Reaganomics in the form of Privatization & 40 years later we have 750 US billionaires & a 36 trillion dollar National Debt. Why? Because the billionaire class and their millionaire minions hated FDR & the New Deal.
Additionally, they hate the American People for reelecting FDR 3 times. Purchasing control over the legislative, executive, judicial, and political process was deliberate. Now the effort is to sow division among the American People to avoid the legislation that can still stop it.
That is because he was the greatest President ever. Took us out of a depression while beating the Nazis. Now we have the worst president of all time who is a Nazi.
The irony is that it's the conservative corporate evangelical extremist billionaire class and their conservative corporate evangelical extremist millionaire minions who hated FDR for the New Deal & hate the American People enough to sellout Democracy for greed.
Most of the debt is a result of reckless tax cuts that favored the wealthiest Americans. That’s it. It’s not complicated. Several nonprofits that are dedicated to tracking government spending have all blamed the tax cuts starting with Reagan.
Worth noting here that Reagan sold this plan with the claim that
Lower Taxes ➡️ Economic Growth, more jobs ➡️ Larger tax base ➡️ Higher Government Revenue.
After 40+ years, it's very clear that this was never true.
Time to end the experiment!
And every Republican president has tanked the economy while in office since then. Trump is a terrible businessman. His record proves it. If Republicans in Congress do not take the bull by the horns to stop this assault on our democracy we will just be another shit hole country. (Trumps Words)
In other words it went to people just like the guy posing the dumbass question, David Sachs. As to where it is, I'd wager a large amount, that which wasn't spent on acquisition is resting comfortably offshore in Cayman banks, and in Freeports around the world in the form of rare art and collectibles
And black budget military spending. That’s where the deficit is, the biggest cancer on our national economy. The DOD has failed every audit attempt. Basically zero accountability on what taxpayers have funded or paid for. And no gains funneled back to citizens.
that needs to be addressed. Wealthiest have a lot more to lose. Hit them with taxes in Eisenhower era. so much can be fixed and make them understand that they are not above anyone
Some reasonable number has to be firmly set! I like 36%! Nice and round!
ONLY corporations who actually manufacture IN America should be entitled to ANY tax cuts - EVER!
That's right. Reagan was the beginning of the end. I was just getting into politics then and realized it when I was just a sophomore. It only got worse over the years.
Worse yet, they're intentionally lying to the public. Erasing history and spewing Kremlin propaganda. They're destroying democracy for Peter Theil and Leon to take it all over.
Republicans.
When times were good they pushed for tax cuts.
When times were bad they pushed for tax cuts.
They are and have been a one-trick pony for decades.
Tax cuts is the solution to everything in their weak little brains.
Trump added 21.8% of our national debt his first term through a multi-trillion dollar tax cut for the people and corporations who needed it least. Right now, the bottom 50% of Americans own just 2.4% of US wealth. $50 trillion has been taken from the bottom 90% by the top 1% in the last 45 years.
I’ve had men talk to me like this in bars. I pretend to care then randomly bring in Vladimir Nabokov and fake facts about his involvement in revolutions… because they don’t want to seem dumb, they nod along. So I go on. Then they finally ask WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHINg!?
Six straight annual audits of Dept of Defense failed! Six. They are meaningless. Infuriating.
Dogebags are not auditors and aren’t legit anyway - not approved by congress or vetted or have clearances or training to DO anything. They are just plain data robbers/lawbreakers conducting a coup.
And that doesn't even include forgetting where you put stuff that you own. I was an Army mechanic. Hey where's that bolt we need? Idk, maybe go ask the contractors and see if they have it? https://responsiblestatecraft.org/pentagon-audit-2666415734/
Dude are you serious?
Whole shipping containers go "missing" and anybody who's spent a day in the military can tell you where at least some of that went.
What do you think happens to all the "destroyed" property?
The broligarchs want what Elon is trying to build. A land with no govt regulations and the CEOs of corporations ruling over their employees like kings. Establishing cities rules by the corporation to exert absolute control.
Same in the UK
the top earners could pay the top rate and still be millionaires. Before thatcher popstars were still buying mansions and Rolls Royces and after thatcher they were living in huge estates in france with six racing cars and yachts with a carbon footprint the size of an african nation.
I’ve seen this lack of curiosity and exploration in my students more and more. Students will miss whole instructions and templates and just go off what they *think* I probably want. Then, they get upset that I didn’t individually explain the bolded resources section on the assignment page for them.
Stop being so kind, George! The sign is not “telltale’ - it is “in your face, blatant, I-don’t-give-a-shit” variety; and they are quite proud of how stupid I sound.
I used to listen to the All in Podcast until Sacks started defending everything tiny hands did to the point I think he red pilled the rest of them. When they booked tiny hands for an interview was when I stopped listening to them.
When President Carter left office in 1981, the national debt was less than a trillion dollars. Since then -- it's ballooned to nearly $35 trillion dollars. Why? Tax cuts that are not paid for, starting in 1981. Again in 2001/2003 (GWBush) and 2017 (Trump) after that. Coupled w/ wars/COVID/etc.
I dare them to.
please let me know where I can tell them to fuck off on here or any other medium? I don't use Facebook but I do have an account and I am not allowed on X for some reason.
All good.
They can try, but as an immigrant from way back, I know my rights and I’m taking all of this as an attempted coup. The government I swore to uphold is quickly being eroded, and I’m taking it seriously.
The 2nd amendment is my friend.
Billionaires need to pay their fucking taxes would be a good place to start looking for the problem.
Tell him to look at the tax rates during WWII and for the next 35 years after and it should give him a pretty good idea of where all that debt came from.
I was arguing with someone about the outlandish and unproven claims from DOGE re discovery of waste and fraud and he told me waste and fraud were so obvious an 8-year-old could see them in the data...
The broligarch approach to intellectual honesty reminds me of a second semester freshman who thinks they can analyze everyone after getting a C- in PSY101.
They think they earned their place without seeing the luck that got them there. The lack of knowledge is because they didn’t need it to make money, they just needed to be okay with taking.
He knows exactly what he is talking about. He's simply gaslighting the mouth breathers into believing that what they are currently doing to rob the American people blind is for our own good.
#DOGE = hiring ur tweaker nephew to do a kitchen remodel but he brings a chainsaw & destroys it. Brilliant! All this for $50! Now ur hungry. U realize ur kitchen doesnt have a stove, dishes or countertops. Instead of hiring contractors to fix it, u hire ur tweaker nephew to demolish the bathroom.
As well as the tax cuts for the rich. Look at some other things, for example, the largest military in the world, 12 nuclear powered aircraft carrier fleets, 400 overseas bases - used to subjugate different countries, for example.... that's just the start. It's not for free
They know damn well it was the tax cuts for the rich during Trump’s Republican administration the first time that they never paid for. Now they’re taking services from the people to pay for more. These South African dudes need to stay out of our government.
The gobsmacking historical illiteracy of people too young to remember Stagflation or even the 2008 real estate meltdown is biting us in the ass today. And reporters must move to demanding source documentation from politicians, as that's where the messes arise.
Gee it couldn't be related to the US being the largest military power in the world with more bases on foreign soil than any other country in history.
Naw it must be the social safety net programs that aren't even as good as many less developed nations.
It went to tax cuts for people like him. trump's golden age is dumb. We stormed on the world stage post WWll and became the only superpower standing after the Cold War. That didn't come from isolation.
His golden era had half the US population and twice the amount of farmers compared to today.
And a progressive tax rate with the wealthiest paying 70% and corporations paying upwards of 80%. Eisenhower’s tax system grew the middle class exponentially over a couple of decades.
In a sane world, one would expect the election outcome to resemble the first image where Kamala got ~63% of the vote. But alas, the world (or at least the U.S.) has lost it.
Those who are losing their minds are also loosing out on love. Doesn’t surprise me, hard to have love in your life when you’re filled with so much hate.
There were a number if polls before the election in European nations about whether people prefered Trump or Harris. In most countries the result was 80% in favour of Harris. Even in the some of the most right leaning European nations it would have been a Harris landslide.
Ignorance on display for sure. I think anyone, even average Americans, can actually see where our $$ have "gone" with a simple search. But David Sacks can't figure that out, being an invester in internet "technologies" and all? 🤔
And his peers. I will be their cheerleader. Too many in my generation have lost their way, and I'm heartbroken and pissed off about that. Come on kids, let's go!
Same here. Lot older. Marched hundreds of times in late 60s, 70s and 80s. Time for young to educate themselves on what is going on and mobilize to save our democracy. Will still go into Boston.

they just repeat what they hear the average ignorant idiot say, so try and gain their support. lazy populism is all it is...

Participate so we help each other and you’re belief in democracy is supported - strength in numbers;
For now, your lawn signs should simply say “Democracy.”
During an election period support the best Democrat candidate.

You thought he would maybe say something intelligent?
Newsflash: NOPE.
Because they’re rich, nobody in their circle will challenge them.
The un-barking dog with the US debt is: who is owed all that money? Why is that never asked?
More than half of it is rich Americans and corporations. Those who have gotten tax breaks for 45 years.
(1/2)
Only 1/6th is owned by foreigners
How much is Freedom and Democracy worth to you?
They have narrative which they have to follow
ruSSia wants world stop to help Ukraine
And they pay them for this shit
They are not stupid,they are corrupted
comes from the same assholes who you arent allowed to say merry christmas..
the right wing mouthpieces are the ones saying this...it isnt coming from the left
In any case, they're self-serving & evil.
The rest of us *must stick together* to fight back.
Truth & Light *will* triumph over Lies & Darkness.
Time to tell
ELON and DICTATOR DONNY
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
America is fighting back.
Start with the 10 richest white guys you can think of and go from there.
Cuz America, you’re our bitch

Grover Norquist shd be a lesson for why these young DOGE bros are so dumb & reckless.
ONLY corporations who actually manufacture IN America should be entitled to ANY tax cuts - EVER!

Or are they trying to build a "they" stole your money grievance narrative that can be weaponized?
Maybe Canada stole your money and you need to take it back?
"Curious where the money went?
Check your pockets."

Exactly

Sometimes money is budgeted that isn't spent, and they can't account for why... but that isn't missing money as many suggest.
Whole shipping containers go "missing" and anybody who's spent a day in the military can tell you where at least some of that went.
What do you think happens to all the "destroyed" property?
That’s where all the federal deficit has gone. To the super wealthy.

This right here. And get ready to watch the nat'l debt explode again.
OK , we can go back to being nice now.
I’ll never defend him, give my podcast a try!

Call them directly and leave them a message, or report a crime and send them on a wild goose chase.😈
