I suppose the other 60% goes toward legitimate federal spending. Trump is Hitler for stopping the huge volume of wasteful spending of tax dollars and wanting to distribute refunds to everyday Americans. OK. Democrats, meanwhile, are humanitarians for wanting the waste to continue and promoting the castration and genital mutilation of children. I think I understand now. 😵💫 This is what we're told by Democrats, their media and elite Hollywood stars.

@graphite You never addressed the two points I made.
graphite · 61-69, M
@SomeMichGuy Yes I did. Your points are from the untrustworthy Democrat media. Trump is president. Deal with it. Once again, you stand corrected. Trump is probably just reviewing these aid programs to make sure we're not spending money on sex changes for lizards or something like that.

Do you know what a trial balloon is? He's floating the IDEA of a rebate. They might very well just take the savings and lower the current deficit and reduce the amount we need to constantly borrow. THANK GOD this happening.

Americans can end their debt and fund a welfare system that gives themselves buying power enough to power their own economy. As conservatives and moderates they don't choose to!
As a commie I used to think "what a shame! Unnecessary suffering among fascists!". Looking at the casualties of their wars I stopped thinking they mattered ever.

@sunsporter1649 some of it is supposed to be aiding people who need help. 10 million on Condoms and contraceptives in Afghanistan, they want to reduce that population! And 10 million on male circumcision in Mozambique, is circumcising all they're doing, they could be clipping here and clipping there to reduce that population too. A lot of condoms and circumcision!!!

@sunsporter1649 Nice attempt at deflection. No fraud found, no corruption found, just items you happen to dislike. Good to know.

@sunsporter1649 I've addressed that already. Just like a trumpster, putting on others what he himself is.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M
The problem, of course is they can (and are) say they are saving anything they want. Most of these savings are by terminating employees. And, as natural disasters, airline disasters, veteran suicides escalate the costs will become astronomical. No doubt neither the cringy puppet master or the fat slob who thinks he's a president and part-time king will take no responsibility for the havoc. The actual amount that would go to each household comes to $34 and would only increase the national debt which is what this whole chainsaw massacre is supposed to solve. This entire charade only showcases what a reality TV show this is. No wonder the ex-reality TV show star tapped to run the Department of Transportation is bewildered...

quotation marks only put emphasis on the sentence if you were referring to the government or trump HE or THEY would have been the proper way to State the sentence because when a person is reading a sentence and the word you is used in such fashion it indicates you are speaking directly to that person.

@ElwoodBlues The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item
(standard financial process).
In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank,
making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into
where money is actually going

Really? You are sure that Musk's high IQ team of whizz kids uncovered a nothing burger unsupported by any hard actionable evidence. You want to risk a law suit from Musk for defamation? Don't just tell us, put your claim out on X.

In this world, attempted bribery or just plain bribery and government takeovers, happens.
So it may or may not happen, Trump is eliminating billions in federal spending from organizations to personnel. Here are at least two of a few he has or is trying to eliminate.

As far as digital currency, at this point in time it hasn't taken a strong position for currency but it is in the making. And the US government has considered it.
Eliminating money for a few decades has been on the minds of governments. Which makes cryptocurrency or bitcoin currency or some other computer generated currency to go to.
