[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope everyone in the DMV realizes that these government layoffs are going to cause people in the private sector and small businesses to lose jobs too. If you have ever lived in a factory town when the factory closes, all businesses go down too.

Good luck with your property values.[/quote]

There will be pain but we will sacrifice for the greater good. [/quote]

You won't survive this sacrifice, you are not special.   Something has to change to what's going on, and at some point even the biggest fans of DOGE will start questioning when new jobs will be created and all the prosperity they are promised will start trickling down to them.  So far proposed budget is going to add to national debt too.. let's find out where they are planning to spend and how this will benefit you.  [/quote]

I’ll be fine. Not at all worried. My kids and their kids will be fine. Already taken care of from real work.

As for the other aspects you mentioned, I wish you all had thought of that before you spent decades looting the treasury. [/quote]

So you are really fine with Trump increasing the national debt by 4.5 trillion dollars to cover tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?  Blaming other administrations when Trump is stealing from Americans out in the open is getting tiring. [/quote]

I think the GOP tax cuts are a joke for sure. Let's the address the debt both through taxes and stopping the massive fraud that has taken place for decades.[/quote]

Great.  Let's start with taxes.  Like a wealth tax.  That would tend to defray both the effects of ill-gotten gains from the massive fraud in government spending and the massive societal fraud of the elements of the tax code (carried interest, capital gains, etc.) that have facilitated the ever-greater accumulation of wealth in high proportion by those already massively wealthy at rates nearly unattainable by those not already massively wealthy.[/quote]
