It's absolutely true that government's budget is out of control, and Congress has a decades long track record of inability to reign in deficit spending. (If a congressman cuts, it's used against him in the next election, and stupid voters punish fiscal responsibility.)

Musk doesn't need voters, so he can recommend whatever. And this could be good to great!

If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%!

Almost no one. https://t.co/4IGzbLqP3R

Yes, I agree with this notion.
Nothing is flawless, and sometimes design iterations are, in fact, very defectively assembled.

Cuts to Social Security and Medicare?

You aren't the sharpest tool in the shed are you?

Good Luck with that.

There won't be cuts to Social Security, Medicare might have cuts but only to make it more efficient, we'll see if it can be done, I have faith in the guys attempting to do it.

Lots of people had faith in Bernie Madoff and Jim Jones too.

'We have to increase taxes on the wealthy': Steve Bannon | Semafor


https://www.semafor.com/article/12/20/2024/we-have-to-increase-taxes-on-the-wealthy-steve-bannon

"We have to increase taxes on the wealthy. For getting our guys' taxes cut, we've got to cut spending, which they're gonna resist. Where does the tax revenue come from? Corporations and the wealthy. And when they start squealing, we have a conversation. We're all partners in this, everybody's going to take a little pain, but the working people are going to take less pain than you guys."

Musk is going to have to have Bannon whacked.

Who is the last president to have a budget surplus?

BREAKING: 80% of federal government managers who voted for Harris said they will resist the efforts of the Trump administration, while just 1% said they will somewhat support him, according to a Napolitan Institute/RMG Research survey.

Yup.
Your boy TRUMP took Federal BLOAT to a 60-year high.

Congrats!

Federal bloat is at a 60-year high

I heard the Democrats stuffed the federal government with new hires right after they lost the election to subvert Trump.

You might include the suggestion that they review the resumes of anyone hired since November 5th to see if they worked on campaigns for Harris or Biden. I'm hearing that thousands were fast tracked for hiring as civil servants to subvert Trump.https://t.co/n28BOGzFrr

1. A majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is;

2. 24% can't name the country that the U.S. fought in the Revolutionary War;

3. 2/3 don't know what the holding of Roe v. Wade is;

4. 2/3 don't know what the Food and Drug Administration does;

5. 50% don't know each state has two senators;

6. More than 50% can't name their congressman;

7. The average voter thinks 24% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid (less than 1% does);

8. 18% thinks the sun revolves around the earth;

9. 50% don't know that Judaism predates Christianity


"America has been trending stupid for a long time. Now the stupid wants out of its cage, and Trump is urging it on.
..….he [Trump] ran into the total stupidity of America that embraced every dumb thing about him, and that chemically interacted with his narcissistic personality and it turned into this unstoppable force."

It will be interesting to see if Musk/DOGE is going to do anything about the half trillion state and oligarch monopoly AI boondoggle of Stargate promoted by Trump, I think there are too many vested interests at play here.

> ..he detests Trump..

huh, reallly?
