What's worse...making a mistake of who should be detained or letting illegals off from the crime the committed to commit more crimes???

Holy crap...you telling me to actually read...I am the one who told you the bolded part...are you drunk or something?? No one is arguing that currently the budget is growing or going to significantly grow with the current budget proposal, but, as you indicate and where I indicated previously and you are now trying to steal, DOGE is not taken into consideration in the budget....YET!! At least I am hoping that is the case and that is what is going to happen based on what I have read. Again, I don't have an extreme amount of confidence it's going to happen, but I am not a chicken little the sky is falling type of person either like you are Bond Guy.

LOL...what does that have to do with charitable contributions? Maybe this question will help with your "analysis" and subsequent "conclusion"...are the charitable contributions the same in nations with "strong taxes" (whatever that means) versus "weak taxes" (again whatever that means)??

What did I benefit from?? And what am I "whining like a baby" about?? Please show me a single post where I have companied about Biden's mental decline after Trump won....I don't even think I ever mentioned it on here before hand. I personally felt sorry for the man. Thus, I have NEVER ONCE brought it up or even commented on it. What I have commented on is in this thread about you claiming it is not "corruption" that it was purposely covered up by so many people in the government and the media...that is the very essence of corruption!!

PROVE IT!!

Now it is that haven't done anything except make bogus claims....I thought you said they have made cuts to programs that are small in percentage comparable to the overall budget...did they or did they not do that already in 4 months?? Or was it just "bogus claims"?? What is this kool aid you are talking about? Is it drinking kool aid to call you out on your completely unprovable comments that you just keep repeating over and over??

So you extrapolate that out to be "private donations to charity don't do anything"?? Once again you show your true analytical powers...yeah that's it..."powers".

That has to do with what in terms of the corrupt cover up around Biden's mental decline?

You just said in the other post...4 months in....wow...talk about drinking the Kool Aid!! I have extremely low expectations of the government no matter who is in charge, but to expect DOGE to have looked at every single government agency in totality in only 4 months is so unrealistic it is boarding on utter delusion. Funny part in all of this, I like the idea of DOGE; however, this is our government, so I have very low expectations; however, I don't make any sort of assessment of success based on only 4 months out of a 4-year exercise. I like that they have found things already, even if a low percentage of the overall budget...it is better than NOT finding it and doing something about it. I'll give more time to see if they make...hopefully...a much larger dent in the waste.

Reread what you just wrote over and over...here I'll emphasis the main point

So as with everything you ever claim on here, you can't prove it and are wrong!

I didn't even think this was a debate and was pretty much agreed upon on both sides that it was very bad that they covered up Biden's mental health...i.e., corruption

Prove it!!

Man...this is tiresome...budgets are passed based on what the people voted for and that is important to them...those things get added to the budget...in the meantime, DOGE was created to remove waste/fraud/corruption from government agencies based on what the people DON'T want to pay for...clearly it is impossible to align those things to happen at the exact same time...one would assume this to be common sense to most...but clearly I shouldn't assume that. Do I need to explain the math to you in regard to that??

That is not proof of what DOGE is doing or going to do...why is that hard to understand. How long has DOGE been operating? Holy crap man...do you honestly expect DOGE to have looked completely at every single program in the government system and given its final recommendations in less than a year since starting...and thus DOGE should be shut down by now?? Seriously?!!? And keep saying bond market over and over maybe something magical will happen.
