Trumponomics

[Shadrach]

And we all know and respect Youtube as a credible news source. How many Pulitzers have they won already? A few dozen? You should check out Reddit too where all conservative posts are deleted or downvoted into oblivion. Should be right up your alley since you only have to hear the things you want to hear whether they are true or not.

Hey man, I only want good things for everybody. I leaned towards being a Liberal, because it seemed they care about the poor, downtrodden, the environment, alternative energy. The Conservatives seem to want to promote war, violence, deforestation, addiction to the Oil industry, etc. For most of my life, I was living in the Mountains as a farmer. So I was out of touch with politics, and I'm glad of that now.
If you want to support Don-Old, and Musk, Bezos, Zuckerburg, be my guest! If they take all the money, and bankrupt America, and that's what you want then Great!
The part about the Hungry kids and the spoiling Medicine, kinda bothers me though! And I didn't like it. And I think the older people should have Medicare,and Medicaid, and Social Security. They did pay for 40 years for it. I think Musk should go after the Pharmaceutical companies, and the Doctors , and Hospitals overcharging. And The insurance companies that rack in Billions, but don't want to pay when people need it.
This is the kind of stuff, I would like taken care of first. Stop funding Israel, and giving them Bombs! Quit giving such a huge amount of the Budget into Military. Develop programs that would help the World, so you don't need to fight so Much!
This insanity is exhausting to me!

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Vladimir Putin has entered into negotiations with Elon Musk over the ownership of Donald J. Trump, the Kremlin confirmed on Tuesday.

Those negotiations, however, are proving contentious, as the Russian president is arguing that, having fully owned Trump between 2017 and 2021, he is entitled to a majority stake now.

For his part, Musk claims that he purchased Trump outright by spending nearly $300 million on his 2024 campaign.

In one heated exchange, Musk reportedly told the Russian leader, “You’re being greedy, Vlad—you already own Tulsi.”

You do know that Trump wants to abolish income tax on Social Security right? For now he hasn't cut anything on Medicare and Medicaid and only wants people to do some kind of work for their benefits if they are able. Who doesn't need to work for their money? Too many people living off welfare with five kids because they make more that way. Give some incentive to work.

DOGE is finding SS fraud and I know for a fact it exists. Even in my small town there were several cases of people not reporting deaths to SS and getting checks for years. Once that is compounded to the federal level, it's a lot of money. So far DOGE says it's it's in millions. They have never claimed billions or trillions or that people have been getting if for 90 years. What they have said is that there are millions of people over 100 and up to 137 years of age still getting checks but I'm sure everything is fine.

Same problem in France...

That's true about people having five kids and living off the Dole. Have you noticed that generally they are poor and have low education? They've always wanted able people to work, but I doubt many do.
A good incentive to provide free food programs, so that kids get better nutrition, to help them develop their bodies and Brains!
Don't think the Orange one is taking away tax from SS to be nice. It's just so small that it doesn't matter, and it would give him Brownie points.
Can you believe the Government would tax Old people for money they had been paying into for 40 years already? Isn't this double taxation?

Well, I give up. If less than 1% of an agencies expenditures are found to be fraudulent then let's just get rid of all the people in that agency and wipe out the majority of what they do. That savings can surely be used to help the wealthy create new jobs for all those that lost theirs. We know many of the list positions will be filled again with good, obedient, loyal brown shirted white men. It's great that wall will be built. Surround the US so we can isolate it and keep everyone under control. Nothing in and finding nothing out. The perfect America. Trumpland. So looking forward to it. A land where people demand links to things they could easily see for themselves if they had the capabilities to see beyond the propaganda sources they so lovingly cling to. Let's start a State run news agency and outlaw the rest so we can live in comfort knowing our government has only us with support. Call it something cute like FoxQ. Can't wait and I know that it won't be long.

I was thinking last night about how this topic gets everyone so Heated up. It should! But I thought about I really don't want to classify myself as a Liberal or Conservative, or a Democrat, or Republican. I just want to be open minded and willing to listen to what everyone has to say. I want to be flexible, and willing to change my opinion any time. And most of all Freedom to live life, how I wish. This is a fundamental right for everyone, as long as it doesn't intrude or hurt others.
For instance, I think it's alright if someone wants to be Gay, or Bisexual, Straight, even Transexual. But they should do it on their own Dime! It's not something that taxes should go towards.
Unfortunately in this World, we have to have a Military. It makes sense to have properly trained soldiers, and adequate equipment in case we need it. But I think the budget for the Military is far too bloated and out of control! There is far too much money going to devious contractors, that are ripping off the Government! It is reported that millions, maybe Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! This is something that the Conservatives, should Conserve on! Find the money leaks, and sew them shut! Then use the money to develop and promote programs to provide more ways to help ourselves, and our neighbors around the World.
Such as developing biodegradable plastics, huge water purification systems, develop unusable lands and grow more food, alternative electricity and better, more efficient batteries, this list goes on and on.
So instead of squabbling amongst ourselves, and wasting time, and money.
We the common people on this planet, demand our World leaders, come up will real unilateral solutions, and stop fighting so many Wars, Respect each others Sovereign rights, and commit to creating lasting Peace for Everyone!

I think you are right on the fraudulent bit but the bigger cuts will be more wasteful than fraudulent

This is exactly what Trump is doing but everyone is complaining about it. You have to start somewhere and I'm sure the military will get the same scrutiny in due time.

I really can't believe the Orange one is doing anything for the betterment of America, or the People in it, except for his Billionaire buddies, and Himself!
You say the Military will get scrutinized in due time. That's to be seen? How about Stop sending Billions of Dollars, and Bombs to Israel?
Do you think that will Happen?
Is Israel even Real?

I just heard some great news from Amerika. The Orange One and SleazOn fired a bunch of the people that Build, Design and Monitor the Nuclear Stockpile in Amerika. They quickly realized that was a mistake, so they rapidly tried to rehire them. But they're having a hard time finding them because they were kicked out of the Gov. website!
But there's no need to Worry. They just fired a bunch of people that know how to design and build Nuclear Bombs. I wonder? Do you think some of them might be Pissed Off?

Another stroke of the pen that will save hundreds of millions of dollars if not a trillion or more. How exactly is he or his buddies benefiting from this?

As far as I know. The Government does not provide funds or assistance to illegal aliens. Only legal ones! So if this is true, he is actually doing Nothing but blowing hot air up everyone's Butts!
As I said, I am not sure. There must be a way to look this up to verify whats the Truth!
For instance, many think they get food stamps. They do not, get this or welfare payments!

If he's lying, it's just more of his ways of exaggerating his lies, to fool the people and justify his actions, or should I say Distractions!

They absolutely do and you would know that if you did some research. You are making yourself look foolish by not informing yourself before you speak. They have kicked veterans out of housing to make room for illegals as well as rented expensive hotel rooms. You seem real reluctant to accept anything Trump does even if it's right. Classic TDS.

But the dog-e patrol has called them fraudulent. Makes for better headlines I guess.

I heard trump on TV state that he wants to cut the defence budget in half. With his desire to abandon Europe and move all US forces out of it, that just may be possible. Could then change the constitution declaring the US Armed Forces, boarder guards. The big picture of a three power world order is certainly coming into focus better. Once he gets that in place all can expect a two world power order and not the US.
