Well… I did retire at a reasonable age but I’m sure not enjoying my later years these days. Don’t even want to plan a trip with the cuts to crucial FAA positions. 😩

YES, honey.
This is exactly what Kremlin, Beijing and Musk want: for the US to "cut war budget" - while being hybrid-invaded and state-captured by Russia.
Putin says spasibo!
👏

"instead"???

thornsoftristan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, instead. The Pentagon consistently fails its audits. Time to cut the fat.

jamesrobichaux.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why instead?

There's definitely lots of credit flowing to military contractors that should be cut off, but that's because that doesn't reflect society's values or obligations, not because other programs will benefit. Unless those other programs require the services of military contractors it's just not relevant.

You forgot paying for Israel citizens to have Healthcare for all.

A hundred percent

They don't work for us.

mrriles.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, I know. I hate Pelosi and it’s scary how many liberals just want to rush back to Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Buttigieg, Biden, Clinton and Obama - because they sound and talk nice. What they fuck part of they caused this are people not understanding?

Restore full benefits back to age 65,
Lower Medicare eligibility to 55,
then fix this chart 📈.

It's funny how much they talk about how the US doesn't need to be the defender of Europe and Canada but never want to actually cut defense spending.

Yes, and we must tax the rich and simply make them pay their fair share.

I wanted to spend the second half of life peacefully, but it's looking like it's going to be spent fighting Nazis.

Making government programs compete for resources is the point of the propaganda you're helping to perpetrate by accepting the conservative myth of government funding. This myth serves those with the highest scores, and convinces everyone else to vote against their own interests.

"The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced but they must not be distributed. And in practice, the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare." - 'The Book' - George Orwell - "1984"

Just for the Ohio voters.Make sure you don't vote a republican governor in office because The only way we stop this stuff is to stop Sending federal taxes to the federal government From our citizens, since they don't want to work for us.We'll keep our tax dollars here in this State
Then we will see

mangajunky.bsky.social•3 days ago

Retire? Haha.
I don’t expect to be able to retire.

mrriles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nobody should have to work a day of their life after 60. We should be lowering the retirement age instead of increasing it.

tha-beeze.bsky.social•3 days ago

the one branch Musk won't approach, because they're a huge source of funding for him.
