clousfoor.bsky.social•123 days ago

He isn’t wrong…the DOD budget went up $75 billion in 2 years to $850B. The DoD hasn never passed an audit and routinely misplaced trillions of dollars. Actual oversight and cuts is what the DOD needs. It may not be progressive to you, but the money saved wouldn’t go to tax cuts but to education

crankebastard.bsky.social•123 days ago

clousfoor.bsky.social•123 days ago

So you want the DOD budget to balloon up in times of “peace”?You love that more than half of discretionary spending goes to the military?

Someone is going to be president of Vichy America. He’s getting in early, to avoid the rush.

It is a coin toss whether he'll realize why his care got worse or whether he'll just blame someone else.

Musk will tweet that it's because of the Dems with no reason given for how that makes any sense at all and all of his worshipers will believe him without question

evanstarr.bsky.social•123 days ago

This graphic says it's only about half the programs, is there another showing nothing from DoD? Either way, it's all a sham if they don't touch DoD (still a sham among these programs though).

skyline4438.bsky.social•123 days ago

This graphic has been going around without context. They have not proposed specific cuts, only to "expired authorizations", and this graphic shows the largest items in that category.

americandem.bsky.social•122 days ago

You are idiots

georgeabington.bsky.social•123 days ago

He's incredibly stupid and delusional to think that there would defense spending cuts equivalent or anywhere close to the massive cuts in social programs. Fuck this guy, he needs to be primaried next time.

rimaregas.com•123 days ago

If this is how they're going to run the opposition to Trump, then they'll be deeply disappointed, as a party, in 2026. Musk and Ramaswamy aren't after efficiency and waste elimination. DOGE is the platform from which they will pick agencies to eliminate so they can buy them for pennies on the dollar

letatcestmoi.bsky.social•123 days ago

This is how the DSA Left is running. Khanna poses as a member of the Democratic Party, but this is who he really is.

whpshw.bsky.social•123 days ago

The Dem Party was its most successful when it was the party of reform, not the party of knee-jerk institutional defense. The federal gov't IS bloated. It IS inefficient. It IS captured by special interests. Are we just going to put that off for 4 years because we don't personally like Musk?
