May 13, 2025May 13 1 hour ago, The Norseman said:I know. And so do you.What we do know is that during the Biden admin, the US had the strongest post Covid economy in the world. the US was the leader of the free world, and our allies could count on us to work with them, not start trade wars with them.

Biden will go down as one of, if not the worst president of all time.....except in CVON of course.

When you look at actual spending, there is a clear difference between spending to better the country and spending to buy votes.Bucko.

May 18, 2025May 18 In any entity as large is the US Federal Government there is going to be some waste and fraud. It's impossible to policy it out 100%.But even the most aggressive "pork" reports that are published on the regular tally up to a fraction of a percent. DOGE was never going to find enough "fraud" and waste to cover the cost that the upheaval was going to bring. They certainly were never going to impact the deficit. The only way to reign in spending is significant reforms in entitlement programs. And for all their bluster the Republicans are still too chicken**** to touch that. The truth of the last 30 years is this: Republicans cut revenue while increasing spending. Democrats raise revenue while increasing spending. Democrats increase deficits.Republicans increase deficits faster.Trump is still a dumbfu©k and we'll be worse off in 2028 specifically because of his actions.

Do you think a room full of billionaires were meeting because of their mutual concern for federal spending? No, it was about how big of a tax cut would they get. The more spending cuts, the bigger the tax cut. The more tariffs, the more tax burden will be transferred to consumers = bigger tax cut for the wealthy.Bigger tax cuts = more powerful oligarchs.
