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

Trump and Elon Musk are living rent free in their minds. Trump throws out ideas some serious some are not. They jump on all of it. They are being played like a cheap fiddle. I think Trump really enjoys this. It not his fault they are at times very gullible. They are prisoners of their own emotions and delusion.

I think cutting the budget is crucial. The only problem is we have a maniacal narcissist who is shutting down agencies due to conflicts of interest 

 

we have someone who is actually willing to do it

there have been 60 years of just adding to it... and going along with it..

Those single line items don't really say anything. Like Scouts Honor said, this is all peanuts compared to our spending deficit and makes literally no difference. Unless it reduces our taxes then who gives an f. Also, nobody knows what overseeing a mail center entails, it could be nationwide funding for preventing anthrax through the mail for all we know. Try explaining $1.5M in spending funds in a single excel cell and those are the descriptions you get.

Nevertheless, I don't care if it's cut, it's not a dunk or even a point against anything I've been saying. 

it all adds up... which is the part you didn't get

Musk is basically the acting president. In all but title. Trump is riding in the back seat.

LOL...this thread cracks me up...who knew cutting wasteful spending was bad??  Who knew that Musk is now somehow the actual President??   And this could be the craziest thing of them all....who knew that Musk, the richest person in the world, I'll say it again, the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD, is cutting wasteful spending to, in some magical way that no one can define, benefit himself to make MORE money??  

As someone has recently said, the liberals (and the TDS/EDS characters on here) clearly have learned absolutely NOTHING after the last election, they still are spewing "fantasy" versus reality and trying to change people's mind based purely on the toddler line of thinking..."He's a big fat meany!"

Heard about the US taking over Gaza lately? And making it into the Middle East Riviera? It's a beyond stupid claim.

How about taking over Greenland or the Panama Canal? Claims that are so incredibly dumb.

And Canada? Eliminating the country and making it into a US State? Such a pile of dumb, but this may be top of heap.

... and you want to discuss what is "serious"?

What is serious is Musk and his doge weapon that he is using to manipulate the govt in order to enrich himself and his agenda.

What isn't serious are the fool's errands Trump has been sent on to occupy him in the meantime.

Trump is in the backseat, Musk is driving. That much is open and obvious. Might as well call him President Musk.

It's gonna be a long 4 years bro! You're melting down 23 days in!

Some people can't think past one step in the game, you are one of them. People like Elon are twenty steps ahead and, news flash, it's not to make your life better, it's for his own agenda.

Ummm...say what?!?!  You know what Elon is thinking, and you know that everything he is doing is ultimately for his gain and no other reason??    Do you actually read what you write...and then actually believe it??  WOW!!!

By the way...what DOGE is doing DOES make my life better as I do not want my tax $$ going to some of the things they are suggesting on cutting and hopefully will go towards things I DO want my tax money going towards...I am 10000% for cutting waste and making things more efficient (it has been my passion and lively hood for the last 25 years).  I know it is hard for you and others to understand...but people have different opinions on things, people value different things in life, there isn't a one shoe fits all approach to anything....and also guess what...you know absolutely nothing of Musk's intentions or what his 50-100 steps ahead are...so get over yourself!  Your hate for a person (who you really know nothing about as a person) overshadows your ability to think logically.

So would democrats rather have the foxes that are guarding the chicken coop audit the chicken coop. Might it be better that you pick something that doesn't eat chickens audit the chicken coop.

it's almost boring to pay attention to the left anymore.

so predictable. the only thing interesting is seeing HOW looney they might get in defending the corrupt machine.

Its almost like their heads have already exploded and they can't think new thoughts anymore.  

[Husker_Du]

i'm not saying this for comedic relief or 'to dunk'....it's scary and tragic...

did you listen to the Dems during the hearing today?

they can't stay on topic. they lack the intelligence to stay on course. their discourse was as informed and organized as a temper tantrum.

it's really sad. and embarrassing. 

[Scouts Honor]

"Melting down"? Ha, my heart rate hasn't even increased a beat.

Sounds you are projecting what you've got going on. Maybe take a time out and relax for a bit.
