Military spending could be greatly reduced.

Yes 👍🏻

If all the millionaires & billionaires just paid 1% of their gross income, it would help balance the budget.

Maybe if we stopped spending trillions to literally bomb dirt this wouldn't be such a problem.

We could easilycut billions from government spending: no more “use it or lose it” during the final month of the fiscal year without dire need. (I didn’t use 2020-21 because of COVID).

But instead of this, the DOGE bros have proposed killing veteran health benefits, Pell grants, Head Start, and the Bureau of Prisons—what could go wrong? They also seek to eliminate the National Institutes of Health.

@michaelmechanic.bsky.social has a fascinating look at what could actually be:

Corporate welfare is robbing programs that would benefit millions of people, and thousands of worth while projects. This happens every time republicans take office. Collapse everything make a money grab, and democrats will come bail out America again. And the cycle continues.

Under their plans, humans become waste and citizenship means squat

They are acting so shamelessly because they know that they hacked the tabulators at the county level in the swing states. Kamala actually won, but they stole it from her. https://www.youtube.com/live/JkmSXcHLjLE?si=EGjcwpPpOF8omQtf

Are they on payroll? That would be a great saving right there.

People who have studied an issue can specify exactly what they are talking about. They can not. They do not. They can't say what because they don't know. Or, they do know and don't care. Waste fraud and abuse is generalized bull shit. Just more don't ask and they certainly can't and won't tell.
