Various. More from Musk than Trump, but Trump is going along w Musk from all accounts. See Musks talks on YouTube re: "govt efficiency." Its easy to find.

I've only heard about cutting waste, gov workers and dept of education. Haven't heard any remarks about meaningful cuts except maybe medicaid (but not medicare).

I laugh when I see these claims about temperature fluctuations over the past several thousand to millions of years. First of all, these natural fluctuations are WAY slower than what's currently happening. Secondly, climatologists are well aware of these and easily account for them in climate forecasts. However, since they are so much slower (over geologic timescales), they are not a significant factor compared to CO2. It's actually very simple.

I'm not even winger but even I know that we need to cut social security, health care benefits and military spending. Or increase taxes for everybody. Take your pick but don't deflect with claims about balancing the budget simply by cutting "waste."

You need to do more than that though. This is a deflection.

I'm talking reality here so I'm not gonna shut up. People need to look at the actual expenditures in our government before talking about cuts.

Would love to see you make me.

That's great if they can decrease the waste. Seriously. I'd like that. Especially in our fat bloated military. But don't think that you can come remotely close to balancing the overall budget that way. You can't eliminate all waste anyway. Just decrease it. Every administration since the beginning of time has wanted to do this btw. There also comes a point where you can spend more on workers that elimate waste than the actual waste that existed in 1st place, or where cutting workers results in more fraud (due to less oversight) than the original costs of those workers.

Until they start talking about cuts to bigger programs that are growing the most, this is just a deflection and will give the idiots out there false hope.

So far they are talking about only cutting programs that are very small and most people don't care about anyway. If they had guts, theyd make REAL cuts and tell us that theyre gonna do it . Keep drinking the Kool Aid though.

Lol. Deflection. There's always waste, in both private and public sectors. You can go ahead and "trim the fat" all you want but you still aren't going to make any meaningful cuts without going after the big ticket expenditures. Actually, cutting oversight (workers) of federal budgets will probably INCREASE fraud and waste. Claims re: to balancing the budget by cutting only the tiny programs and "trimming fat"is a bunch of garbage, and actually not remotely close to possible. The people that buy into this are morons and the people that propose it are either morons, manipulating you, gutless or a combination of these. Probably all of the above. If you want to actually make significant cuts, you need to slash military and/or programs like social security, health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. It's pretty simple. Welcome to reality.

Yah. This belongs on the college wrestling section.

You idiots need to look at the actual federal budget. The ONLY way to cut any significant costs is to go after the big ticket items. For example, social security, Medicare and military. Cutting government workers and Dept of Education barely makes a dent. Can't believe how many idiots there are in this country.

Did somebody already say this?

Understatement of the century. The most waste in any program in the history of our country. Ironically, he won't cut this at all but continue to engorge the fat bloated pig that our military is.

Elon Musk is the absolute last person you want making decisions. Ge has $billions in government contracts and dozens or more active investigations re: his blatant disregard for federal regulations. If this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is

Another great source for wingers to rely upon. Maryville University (wherever that is) Blog.

Yes. Many wingers "news" sources are mainstream. There's literally no escape from the propaganda, and its even worse if you are on social media.

Left wing values: liberty, the Constitution, economic opportunity, education, science, fair treatment for all Right wing values: censorship, ramming values down others throats, maximizing economic disparity, propaganda and bigotry. How 'bout that chart?

Dumb statement. Show me the data. Key is what is and isn't included and how big the media outlets are.

It IS the mainstream media that's telling you about the left wing media bias. Hilarious. Think about it and quit being sheep.

The wingers really need to think and quit drinking the red Kool aid. They're repeatedly told that the media is biased against Republicans. Everything in "mainstream media" is fake news (but the biggest news network of all, the biggest podcast of all, and almost all talk radio and social media is not part of that) and who tells them this? The media. We hear it every day, even if we don't try or want to. THINK ABOUT IT YOU FOOLS
