It’s not going to happen. Cutting Medicaid will fuck over the middle class by reducing hospital funding in the south and Midwest. 75% of Medicaid spending goes to senior services. Defense? Maybe $100 billion there. Medicare and social security doesn’t impact the deficit. You can restructure 25% the debt through the Fed theoretically. Education and health ain’t really much spending. Dollar for dollar money well spent actually. Transportation maybe $50 billion in drawing back IIJA. Highly doubt republican senators would go for that. Snap isn’t anything really there/ farm subs? Like I said have at it. Yall are just going to find a whole bunch of stuff you don’t want to find. The amount of spending on things like $57,000 grant to climate change in Sri Lanka won’t add up to much.
Because I'm "beyond dumb", I really need your help. Can you tell me what this spend is for? I mean, COVID was a long time ago. What is this for currently?
the link was annual report, which you said there is no number. just on the sam website there is monthly spending report required congress where the money went. remember next season don't call fema for help, you will be ok.
Do the audit anyway. Audit the Pentagon. Get rid of wasteful departments like Education, Energy and other stupid crap. Close military bases around the world - not everywhere, but there are plenty. Cut defense spending. Stop foreign aid - if we're broke, why pay others. It all adds up.
I didn't call FEMA for help ever before. I'll be just fine. FEMA has a purpose, by the way. FEMA's purpose is not spending $59M on illegal immigrant housing. I'm not for cutting FEMA. I'm for spending the money on Americans, something you're obviously not for.
In California, hopefully to become part of Canada soon. Your gardening crew (you lazy shite, Rand Paul did his own garden) and maid are contractors. I'm an actual employer. You are an employee, just a parasite in somebody else's business. Sucks to be you. Worse, you will retire, think hey, I'll be too busy sailing or some shit and... ET...
First, no one here - least of all me - believes really anything you claim (other than the ADHD thing, that makes total sense). You don't own land, you retired to some third world country because you couldn't afford to live in the US, and now you obsess over a US political forum. Let's just be honest here. Second, when I decide to retire, I promise you the last place I'll be is here on ET. That's what losers like you and GWB do day in and day out. And with that, I'm off for the night. Make sure to stay up late, posting. There's a lot of value in your "thoughts" and fantasies, and everyone here really likes it a lot.
We’re not broke. We have a rich tax base but we choose to put our expenses on debt. Cut all you want. Musk can reasonably find $200 billion I bet. He’ll spin it to say that’s $2 trillion over 10 years and you’ll be singing his praises. But I telling you if you want to cut deep, it will impact red states first and disproportionately, and those senators won’t let that happen. Just know eliminating departments and blocking out funds doesnt fundamentally change spending. We’ll see what the reconciliation bill looks like in March.
