[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've stopped vaccinating people in other countries like airplanes and boats don't exist.

We've stopped funding cancer research.

We are deporting our agricultural workers.

We are ignoring environmental catastrophe and getting rid of NOAA and FEMA.

We are alienating our allies.

All of these things have consequences.  Life has been hard for all of humanity until the last 100 years and we have chosen to go back in time.[/quote]

So tell me where you would cut $2 Trillion from? How do you suggest we get to a good budget situation? I don’t think you realize that we can’t continue on this trajectory. [/quote]

DP but [b]some of what Trump is doing will cost us money[/b], not save it. He's proposing massive tax cuts for the wealthy. You think alienating our allies will save money? Even the fork proposal is a huge expense, paying workers who aren't working through September even though most who took it would have left (without severance) through normal attrition anyway.

Everyone knows if you really want to shrink the budget, you don't do it with USAID or NOAA, which are relatively small programs. Are they going to go after the defense budget, the national intelligence budget, [b]Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid? Because those are where the $$$ is. [/b]Yet he has promised not to touch them. [/quote]

He should not touch Social Security or Medicare for anyone Gen X and older. We have been paying for these for decades. Any changes there should be phased in by age group.

Buying and developing Trump Gaza is going to cost billions.

I thought we were all in for some pain or is it just everyone who's actually in their prime earning years and then we'll have no social security or Medicare because the programs have been dissolved. But don't worry the voters who voted for the Congress that made all these programs and didn't trim the budget since Clinton and voted Trump in and every other Republican who's driven the deficit up they get to live it up.
