AmeriCorps 1.4 billion dollar budget:
"Is AmeriCorps funded by the federal government?
The majority of AmeriCorps State and National funding is administered by states, not the federal government, to ensure governors – and state priorities – are front and center. As a public-private partnership, AmeriCorps is a unique example of federal government efficiency and tax dollar stewardship."
NATURALLY Trump can't STAND teenagers actually learning empathy and helping in areas hit by storms or other disasters. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS"

Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis and his ambitious wife have been up to some funny business with their Hope Florida scheme.
Oops! Male versions of ICE Barbies are at the door. Got to go. Suddenly lost my pension and my SSA benefits.
Well, it has been nice chatting with all of you! (some more than others)

So suppose Ford is found to have wasted say 10% of it's money or some CEO sucked out money for himself.
You don't KILL FORD, you deal with the waste or whatever but Trump just uses that as an excuse to completely kill a very useful agency.
Same with all the others they killed.
Instead of sussing how and why waste happened, they just use that as an excuse to kill it off completely.
This is not governing. This is wanton destruction of useful parts of the government, the part that actually helps people.
Can't have THAT now can we?

Here is the story of the National Taxpayers Union:

Pushing for reduced taxes for Phillips tobacco and such.
Right wing organization.
This is not a government agency.
@sonhouse saidI suspect, that before Trump and Musk are done, more people will have died worldwide than Jews in the Holocaust.

It's the New Genocide, the Culling of the Poor.
See my thread about the millions expected to die from this administration's bad decisions.
@Suzianne saidI think that is a given. Historians are going to CREMATE Trump. As will the entire planet. He will be reviled as much or more than Hitler or Stalin.
