How in the world did the government spending get so far off the tracks? In less than a month Elon will and his 20 year olds will pry 1 trillion dollars out of the politicians cold dead hands. will

But they don’t. They aren’t government employees. Both of which are a requirement to access any information system.

This is pretty basic stuff.

Let’s do a quick test:

You guys (Willie in particular) are posting things from Twitter as if they are official government documents.

If I create a Twitter account, gin up a (fake) receipt for the funding stream of Willie’s USAID-funded sex change operation, and post that to Twitter, will you believe that it is real?

What is the matter with you.  They are working for the U.S. government, within the Office of Management and Budget.

Oh? What is their pay grade? Do they have government email addresses?

Are they also being paid by anyone else? Have they filed appropriate conflict of interest forms? Have those been approved by a non-partisan approval authority?

I don’t know who “Rachel” is.

I’ve heard of The View, but have never watched it. No TVs or cable at work.

You seem to embrace government bureaucracy and know enough about it.  For some reason i feel like you’re a gov employee.  Is this why your so butt hurt they’re stopping the maddening spending?

Here’s the thing:

If they went through the appropriate processes (Congress) to change the budget, that would be fine. That’s how it’s supposed to work. The President is not a king. If the next government funding bill kills all of these jobs and is signed into law, that’s sad, but that’s the appropriate process.

Unfortunately for Elon and Co, they were ordered to stop what they were doing and destroy all copies of data by a federal judge. If they don’t, they go to jail. Another restored 3,000 USAID workers, where they will resume doing what federal law has authorized them to do.

Did she copyright that?  Will we now have to pay her (or her speech writers) royalties?  Or, if they were on the public payroll when the thing was written or said does it become a public asset?

There are a lot of poor people on medicaid/food stamps and old people receiving Medicare/social security. These programs are the vast majority of this government spending/cost.

In 2024, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) made up about 8% of the federal budget, while food stamps, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), accounted for a smaller percentage.
