Whatever happened to draining the swamp and eliminating waste, fraud and abuse?

It's only about the money for this disgraceful lot. By any means necessary, get the moneeeeeey! If you fully control the cash box, you can use it (other people's money) to set your own payday from your donors. The U.S. government has never been more criminal, not less! They belong in prison.

That lady is spouting bullshit.

For example, she says "we have money for a $200M ballroom".

The money for the ballroom isn't coming from the taxpayers.

Shrink726, stop listening to this bullshit. If you can't bring yourself to stop, then at least stop posting this bullshit in a discussion forum.

Why, exactly, should the “average American” receive federal funds?

OK about the idiotic ballroom. What about the $1B used to retrofit that plane that isn't ever going to be used as Air Force One (and never was) that is being funded with my tax dollars that Maggot gets to keep upon his departure and the other things she mentions.

Do you ever tire of defending the indefensible? Have you ever said one negative thing about Maggot?

I didn't think so.

Because they are already through myriad government programs and, here's a shock, it's their money.

So it's graft?

Among other things, this is a really good start.

  • "Of the people, by the people, for the people":
    This phrase encapsulates the core idea of Lincoln's vision for a democratic government.
      • "Of the people": Government derives its legitimacy from the people.
      • "By the people": The people have the power to govern themselves through their representatives.
      • "For the people": The government exists to serve the interests of the people.
    I would study that last line. You may learn something.

Almost all federal government annual ‘discretionary’ spending is being funded by deficit (stimulus?) spending. Congress critters don’t dare ask for (demand?) as much tax revenue as they spend, yet enjoy re-election rates of over 90% by engaging in continuous annual deficit (stimulus?) spending.

You have made this exact same comment to a number of different posts over a period of time. Instead of telling us all something we already know, why not throw out an idea of your own to solve this problem.

So Trump says.

And if it really is coming from "private donors", i think their names and amounts "donated" should be published for all to see.

I can count at least 3 federal laws that are being broken.

Not that MAGAs ever gave a shit about any laws except maybe Jim Crow laws.

Who says Trump is keeping a plane?
 
Democrats would be much better off it they turned off CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, stopped getting on social media, didn't turn on late night TV lunatics, and didn't listen to their democrat friends for news and information. Your brain would get a rest, head stop hurting, heart rate relax and you'd sleep so much better. Most of all you would quickly figure out you are not missing anything.

You mean just listen only to Fox News and Trump's social media and parrot it everywhere?
:)
 
If we drain the swamp, 2/3's of the government employees will be without jobs because the majority of employees in government are liberals who are extremely biased and misinformed.
 
It was always about fascism.

Just RIGHT WING fascism.

And, BTW I'd like to know why we, the taxpayers, are paying hundreds of millions to retrofit a plane that will never be fit to be AF 1 which will then be gifted to the Maggot.

Can you tell me why this is a legitimate use of my taxes?

Hmmmmm?
 
Kinda weird to watch him cut funding for education and healthcare and increase costs to just survive in the USA and then him add his new taxes on us so he can build a ballroom and fix up an airplane for himself and cut his own taxes.

But hey, at least he's working hard to cover up the fact that he raped kids and his entire party is okay with that.

And that would be nothing like the people entering into government having to prove their loyalty to a person rather than the office or department. No chance of extreme bias there.

The Trump/GOP Big Cruel Bill of 2025 is deficit spending to the tune of $4 trillion.

The GOP are not deficit hawks. That's just total bullshit. They only care about the deficit when a Democrat is in the White House.

Otherwise it's spend! spend! spend! And just for good measure, we'll also toss up to 14 million from Medicare and gut the SNAP food programm for kids.

I neither claimed nor implied that (bolded above) red herring, but you be you. My statement (assertion?) was that congress critters continuously engage in annual deficit (stimulus?) spending and made no distinction as to whether they were demorats or republicants - since congress critters from both parties willingly and knowingly do so.
