[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a $1.83 trillion budget deficit last year. Unsustainable. Musk thinks he can cut a trillion in spending. Good, let’s see what he comes up with. His experience at Twitter showed him that three quarters of the people employed there were useless at best. [/quote] And he cut Twitters value by over 75% in that same period of time. Is that what you want for our government?[/quote] I want you to capitulate and restate to me the fact that: 1) our national debt is $105K per person. 2) our national debt is $323K per tax payer. 3) we CANNOT continue on this course. 4) the solution for this problem is not constantly raising taxes and rates. 5) the federal government spends and wastes too much and that the time has come to tackle it with seriousness.[/quote] No but the cuts cannot and should not be done by a single person. We The PEOPLE are the ones who elect people who decide on the cuts. MUSKovich is not an elected official and should in no way be the one making the cuts.[/quote] Yes, we have to make some cuts. But that said it's absolutely ludicrous to stomp feet and insist that taxes are completely off the table. That is ideological derangement of the right wing, started by Grover Norquist, and it's based on lies. In the 1950s we had tax brackets significantly higher than we do now, AND WE PROSPERED. And no, it wasn't "communism" - it was under guys like Eisenhower, who actually FOUGHT actual communism, as opposed to today's right wing who would rather fight their fellow American and pretend it's communism they're fighting.[/quote]
