@wildgrass saidWhatever the percentage, these numbers Musk is throwing up are minuscule. 😆
Since were 2 trillion in deficit, 100 million is just 0.5% of the problem.
Remember Bill Clinton squared the deficit and doubled NIH funding at the same time.
But Musk knew that a) he wouldn't find anything, and b) the Hunyuck Brigade (i.e. @AverageJoe1) would go ape, screaming and throwing pooh around if he could somehow convince them that he had (pretty easy; they are not smart.)
The deeper reason for Musk doing this, we don't know yet. 😆

The Donald wants a new enormous tax cut and the extension of his prior cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy.
This will blow up the deficit.
So convince the People that almost all government spending (except bombs and subsidies to the rich of course) is "waste" and you'll eventually get to cut the "entitlement programs" that are the real targets of right wingers.
@no1marauder saidSo when he benefits the wealthy, leading to a coup or whatever, total facism, you or Trump become Mussolini, what will the world look like. And are you saying that no one will be able to stop this takeover? What will it be like. Please tell us.......

@spruce112358 saidBS. Post a link.
Part of our socialist program, once we take power again, will be to seize (under eminent domain) some of the 16 million American homes that sit empty and move the 650,000 homeless into them. Boom. Problem solved. 😆
@spruce112358 saidExactly. We don't know yet. I will give you a thumb up. As I have said befoe, we have to wait and see, as Trump often says. Marauder wants everything NOW!!...in true liberal fashion.

@Metal-Brain saidAn inconvenient post. Do not expect a response, MB. Just pitiful. They have absolutely nothing.
Sure they do. They want to make America great again, not everybody but Americans.
It was democrats that left Americans homeless while funding transgender comic books in a foreign county.

@Metal-Brain saidBut MB, the losers here brought up that "Reagan did it"......so what? Maybe my granny caused it. Does everyone see how libs change the subject. We have a homeless problem, and instead of discussing (this is a debate, fellers) the homeless problem, this one, Spruce, writes something about How It Was Caused and By Whom!!!
The homeless today are not homeless because of Reagan.
That was 37 years ago.
Biden and congress gave 90% of the covid relief to the wealthy and created inflation to pay for it which hurts the poor disproportionately. Biden waged class warfare on the poor and screwed them over big time. Inflation itself is class warfare. The rich own stocks and assets which are infla ...[text shortened]... flation. It is a scam. They do it over and over again too because you and your buddies never notice.
Actually, my granny did cause it. So, that out of the way, if Spruce (top of page 3) is going to write about it, ask him his thoughts on fixing it?? Reagan, he's gone. It is up to us.
Geeez
@spruce112358 said$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
Egypt received ~$200M in Foreign Assistance from the United States in each of 2023 and 2024. Plus $1.4B in military aid 😆
Congratulations! Musk discovered an issue covering THREE PERCENT of whatever problem this is.
It is simple to find what we spend on foreign aid. Anyone can see it, online, at anytime. https://www.foreignassistance.gov/cd/egypt/2024/disbursemen ...[text shortened]... REASURY FOR ANOTHER REASON! IT IS NOT TO "DISCOVER" FOREIGN AID BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNEW THAT!!!
😆
Why? Simple question. Why tourism? How is that in our interest?
The US government is buying emergency access to the Suez Canal. That is why they receive the 2nd most foreign aid from the USA. It is a bribe because canal access is important to a world empire. Is funding tourism part of that bribe? I doubt it.
Why don't we fund our own tourism? The USAID is not needed to bribe Egypt for emergency access to the canal. And ethnically cleansing Gaza is to put in the Ben Gurion Canal which you propaganda sycophants are in denial of.
@wildgrass said$2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala?
Sure sure there's different opinions on what's useful government spending. The decisions where tax dollars are spent should not be made by whoever donates the most money to a presidents campaign.
You think that is useful? Of course you do not. Just admit you are defending the party and not the spending.
@wildgrass saidAs if overspending is a new development. Both parties overspend. To find fiscal responsibility you must go back to Eisenhower and he was a republican.
Are you aware that there are a million millions in a trillion?
Our government under trump is pacing about a trillion a month, way over tax revenue, and he wants to cut taxes?
Pggh.
Your partisan spin doctoring is noted.
@AverageJoe1 saidNobody can defend funding transgender comic books in a foreign county. That is why they digress away from it and bring up dead presidents. They have already lost and they just have not accepted it yet.

When John Stewart makes fun of democrats you know democrats have lost.
Soon they will hope this issue goes away. They can't defend it anymore. Even John Stewart turned on them.

@AverageJoe1
Why did Republicans fund ‘transgender dance’ in Bangladesh?
https://thegrayzone.com/2025/02/07/republicans-transgender-dance-bangladesh/
According to documents obtained by The Grayzone, the US-funded International Republican Institute sees gay and transgender people as uniquely disruptive actors who can be deployed to manipulate political realities overseas, stating, “LGBTI people tend to participate in social change activities to eventually bring changes to politics.”
It isn't about liberal causes. It is using gay and transgender people to prime a nation for regime change by destabilizing politics in those nations. That is why your side is doing it too. It isn't just democrats.

@Metal-Brain saidJohn Fetterman?? He is likely not wanting to associate with the crazies anymore, and might switch to be a Republican.
