I’m obviously in favor of a strong US security posture, but cutting nondefense spending by 23% and RAISING defense spending by 13% is an egregious misappropriation of taxpayer dollars.
There’s a point where more defense spending is largely redundant, and we’re there.

Breaking news: The White House released a partial budget proposal Friday calling for $163 billion in cuts to federal spending in the next fiscal year, pushing reductions to health care, education and many other government programs while boosting spending on defense and homeland security.

a) Defense spending is easier to move around once you declare an "emergency"
b) Defense spending and military deployments are now being used for domestic purposes. (currently at the TX border but, don't believe they will not go to urban areas)
With others or internal?

They laid off serious govt folks, our VETS, and dumped funding.
So accountability before anything else. Folks are likely dying (USAID) for this massive fraud
Why is it not discussed at all about the COSTS$$ of all those unemployment claims from the federal workers Trump fired? Add to that the costs of all the other Americans that have/WILL lose their jobs because of Trump and DOGE? Who will be left to keep businesses open?
We lost the plot when we let private companies receive nearly 90% of the budget for equipment and parts.
And then we ned to talk about drones.
It's just quid pro quo and failed audits.
We are funding the take over of our democracy and our future landlord royal Class.
Wake up people. Their goal is a new country.
America is not meant to survive.
We are closer to a techno-fascist oligarchy than we ever could have believed, just two years ago.
They will weaken us with tariffs. They will repossess our homes. They will starve is out. And just rob us. We don't exist at the end of this in a free way.
No constitution. No civil rights, no equality, no education and we are constantly going to be surveilled. We will barely own the shirt on our back. We will eat government issued freedom corn.
Doge is compiling a huge amount of data on citizens. 80 billion is apparently being proposed for "anti immigration" measures.I read on Bloomberg that 1.01 trillion dollars budget is being proposed for defense.
This is all going to be used against US citizens.
Right?
Just to give billionaires and megacorps more obscene amounts of money.
