And there is a deflection. Or are you trolling? The Supreme Court case Biden v. Nebraska (June 2023) directly addressed that Biden's administration's plan on student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional.

I was more trolling... Can you tell me 10 ways that the last administration did not follow the constitution? Did you care? Of course I care. Where did I say differently?

I was told Elon Musk is the president so...?

This DefiantL poster has an egregiously outdated take. WFH IS A problem for unmotivated workers but it has zero to do with how someone dresses. I work more daily hours from home, with higher productivity, than I do in the office... with appropriate apparel for whichever meetings are required. I say that as someone who believes that making your bed each day is a key behavior to running a disciplined, successful life.

Gov job cuts begin modestly in 1994. Higher cuts from 1995-97. Attrition and retirement still hitting in 1998 and pretty much done by 1999. 1990s Canadian Unemployment Rate 1990: 8.1% 1991: 10.3% 1992: 11.2% 1993: 11.4% 1994: 10.4% 1995: 9.5% 1996: 9.6% 1997: 9.1% 1998: 8.3% 1999: 7.6% 2000: 6.8% Government spending went down. The annual deficit flipped from 7% in 1992 to a surplus in 1997/98. GDP growth went from 1% in 1992 to 4% in 1997 and 5% in 1999.

Is food service slower in Florida? Is New York fast paced? How do you know? Should you fight someone with cauliflower ear? Just an anecdote, right? Is the government work as efficient as the private worker on average? Does job security lead to lower productivity when there is less pressure to perform? When my government worker friend tells me he could not fire the elder minority asleep at his desk...

The current debt is 36T or about $100K of debt per person. Taxes will continue to increase to service the debt. Interest rates stay high and impact mortgage rates, car loans, personal credit, school loans, etc. Inflation may stay above the baseline. The government may reduce benefits, increasing costs by $500+ for citizens that would otherwise be provided by the government. Assuming 2T flat deficit is added annually for the next 15 years, the 2024 debt per person will be about $200K. You can double the impact above per citizen. For a $300K mortgage, you can expect the next generation to pay $400+ more than you would today. I expect cutting the work force to be a net economic positive as it was for Canada. Canada cut their work force by 20% in the 90s (PM Jean Chretien), helping achieve a surplus, reduced debt and interest payments, helped economic growth. Short term unemployment was mitigated by increase in private sector jobs.

Legendary economic stimulus and good will from the masses toward Republicans the 2028 election. Bad move that will spike inflation. Surplus can go nowhere but to pay down the deficit. Spending is a tax on us.

What's the fuss? I made no reference to any specific example. I said all is see is wins. Link after link of wins. I don't care if a recorded piece of information was mistaken as $8B when its actually $8M. Mistakes happen and will continue to happen given they strategically favor speed over accuracy. It will be corrected in the data if not already. Saving $8M is a win. Why did the mistake occur? Past versions of the contract listed on the Federal Procurement Data System was approved in Sept 2022 for the initial total value of $8 billion. Jan. 22 this year, that figure was updated to $8 million. Now it is cancelled. https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/jsp/viewLinkController.jsp?agencyID=7012&PIID=70CMSD22A00000008&idvAgencyID=&idvPIID=GS00F131DA&contractType=IDV The DOGE website also says These specific listed contracts account for approx. 20% of overall DOGE savings. Expect more mistakes to occur. Come celebrate the wins with 90% of the public.

The progressive left is boxing their left into a suicide dance? No! Its dead.

Ah, yes, because it clearly takes such mental fortitude to dismiss centuries of philosophical inquiry, cultural heritage, and personal solace as nothing more than a crutch for the 'weak.' Your arrogance is only surpassed by your ignorance. It's ironic that a progressive would find people with religious views mentally weak.

Still waiting… The Georgia mail-in vote inspection lawsuit from 2020 drags on. - Initial Ruling: In May 2021, a judge ordered Fulton County to make plans to unseal at least 142,000 mail-in ballots from the 2020 election for potential review. However, this was followed by a series of legal back-and-forths. - Dismissal and Appeals: The lawsuit faced multiple dismissals and appeals. In October 2021, Judge Brian Amero dismissed all respondents in the lawsuit, but this decision was appealed. Later, in January 2023, the Georgia Court of Appeals reinstated VoterGA's case requesting an audit of these ballots. - Ongoing Legal Battle: As of May 2024, there were reports that it had been nearly 500 days since the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that VoterGA had standing to bring the suit to see the ballots, yet no trial date had been assigned, highlighting significant delays in the legal process. - Current Status: The case is still dragging on… Why?
