We are having some debate about putting food out for the bears I want to my friends are telling me not to-- but they are hungry! Thoughts?
We might all get a $5,000 "DOGE dividend" if Elon Musk's cost-cutting commission can deliver. But the national debt will probably balloon by at least $4 trillion anyway, which would be an extra $12,000 in new debt for every American. >>>>> Welcome to the mysterious world of Trumpmath. President Trump wants everybody to know that his so-called DOGE commission, headed by Musk, is hard at work slashing costs in the federal bureaucracy for the good of the American taxpayer. The goal is at least $500 billion in annual savings, which would be about 7% of all federal spending. Trump also wants to raise gobs of new revenue through tariffs on imports. He's so impressed with his own financial acumen that he thinks a historic moment is approaching. "Balance budget now???" Trump posted on social media on Feb. 20. "Let’s give it a shot. Lots of money coming in from tariffs.” >>>>>>> Here's the con: Trump is shining a spotlight on pennies coming in while drawing no attention at all to the hundreds going out. On the positive side of the ledger are DOGE and tariffs, which, to be fair, could generate some additional revenue and cost savings. But on the negative side are tax cuts likely to be multiples larger. There's no chance Trump will balance the federal budget, and it's virtually certain that the national debt will only swell under Trump. The DOGE government efficiency effort might be a worthwhile exercise, but $500 billion in annual savings is an extremely ambitious goal. Axing the entire federal workforce of 3 million people would save only about $270 billion while leaving the United States without a functional government. There simply aren't enough employees to fire, contracts to terminate, or properties to sell to get anywhere close to $500 billion in savings. The real money is in benefits that go directly to voters, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans programs, plus defense, traditionally hard to cut. >>>>> The Vets are getting screwed Frump puts no value on a strong military or taking care of it's own. The Musk commission, at any rate, claims it has already found $55 billion in savings. That fails the sniff test, and budget experts say the real amount of savings is probably a fraction of that. But the prospect of found money is already prompting fantasies about how to spend it. Trump says he wants to give back 20% of the DOGE savings to taxpayers, a "DOGE dividend" that compensates Americans for whatever they've lost in government functionality. Here's where the $5,000 figure comes from: Musk's original DOGE target was $2 trillion in annual savings, and20% of that would amount to around $5,000for every taxpaying household in America. Never mind that Musk has lowered his savings target from $2 trillion to a still implausible $500 billion. Twenty percent of $500 billion would be just $1,250 for every taxpaying household, a weird un-round number that isn't very compelling. So $5,000. That's the number. What you won't hear any of Trump's advisers discuss is the additional debt they're likely to saddle taxpayers with. Trump wants to extend all of the tax cuts that are due to expire at the end of 2025. That will add at least $4 trillion to the national debtduring the next decade, or $400 billion per year. Trump pitched a slew of other tax cuts, such as eliminating income taxes on tip income, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits — and Republicans who control Congress are drafting legislation to make those a reality. If Congress passes all of Trump's proposed tax cuts, it could add more than $10 trillion to the national debt during the next 10 years, or $1 trillion per year. It gets worse. Trump is in the midst of firing 6,000 workers at the Internal Revenue Service, or 6% of the tax agency's total staff. If Trump were serious about balancing the federal budget, the very last thing he'd do is eviscerate the IRS. The IRS's job is to collect the taxes that people legitimately owe. There's already a "tax gap" as high as $688 billion. The tax gap is money Americans legally owe to the government in taxes but haven’t paid. Hardly any of that money is taxes owed by workers who earn most of their income from a paycheck; most of it is money the investor class is trying to hide via complex tax dodges. /////////// Who Dat tiny NAzi!

Don't worry Ted I am going to bring Van back slowly. As he proves his worth and changes his attitude and makes some apologies. We can redeem anyone even the worst offenders. Being banned and put on a list of scoundrels is not the end term... Look the Capital rioters they all got out. A little humility and a dash of self reflection, I really want Van to understand this is not personal simply me reacting to a bunch of complaints. I don't usually get emails.. all the ET'ers just take my ideas and cash without saying thank you.. all I have are the ratings. When I do get a cluster of emails and they are all very negative on dear Van.. I have to take action for the betterment of GBA as a whole. We have an egg crisis and a market meltdown. It's time for big boy stuff.. as you know.~stoney
