[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually Musk has no idea what he has cut. If your perspective is that all non-defense spending is bad, sure, but you may find Americans aren't happy when they find out they can't reach anybody as SSA, the VA is horrifically understaffed, and basic federal government functions aren't being fulfilled. If these things were actually popular, Trump would have gone through Congress which would make these changes permanent and legal. Instead they are farts in the wind.[/quote]

Are you talking about all those millionaires in Congress?[/quote]

You people are insufferable — you don’t care about the billionaire cabinet right? The richest man in the world who has gotten $20B in taxpayer $$ as our de facto president? Only millionaire Dems. Maybe try thinking for yourself. [/quote]

I guess I wasn't aware Congress was under 100% Dem control. That's your wet dream, not mine. I'm referring to those millionaire politicians on both sides of the aisle. Maybe you should try thinking for yourself instead of getting triggered by the party-approved buzzwords that make you suffer.[/quote]

Oh right, Trumpster billionaires are definitely not coastal elites*.

*your party-approved buzzword

Cutting 75% of the fed workplace should save billions for the country. EVen better if you're in that number.[/quote]

meh. to cut 75% of all feds you should cut every single non-military fed (i.e. every single employee of NIH, FDA, CDC, USPTO and so on, ) and then cut maybe half of the military. even the average MAGA stupid should see that this is not possible and that if it was done, the US would go down the drain in a second. but it's good red meat to throw to ignorant MAGAs while their services are cut and regulations are cut so Elon and his billionaire friends can get another -trillion tax cut. [/quote]

As a percentage of the workforce, the US has a smaller public sector than most other high income nations. Federal employees include air traffic controllers, the military, the VA hospital staff, the federal meat inspectors, the CDC, the National Weather Service, our embassies, and so on. These aren't wasteful, corrupt programs.

Corruption, by definition, is using public office to enrich yourself. Corruption includes, for example, donating to a political campaign when you have government contracts, trying to claim you are "auditing" agencies that might award you contracts or award them to your competitors, or perhaps issuing a privately held cryptocurrency while in office.
