@Fa8393 but that's not the spirit when it comes to our government is it?

@REMsleep if there are jobs in Washington dc that are a waste and we can free up the money from it then I am ok with it . A smaller government is better than a bigger one . I trust this program that it will help the us overcome the issues we have been going through for awhile .

@Fa8393 I think the program sounds great I just think he picked some foxes to run the chicken coop

@Fa8393 You don't see any possible conflicts of interest for a man whose businesses do $2 to $3 billion/year with the US gov't? And whose competitors also do $ billions/year with the US gov't? Efficiency is good, yes, but conflicts of interest are bad.

@ElwoodBlues this argument has been brought up before and it goes no were .

ElwoodBlues · M

@Fa8393 Is that your way of saying you have no counter-argument against the conflict of interest issue?

Fa8393 · 41-45, M

@ElwoodBlues I am going to say I am not going to slander a man that does not need to happen . This is your conflict of interest not mine . I know trump is going to lower the us debt he will his way not mine or yours .

@Fa8393 Actually, it's against the law for a government worker to be in a position where they might have a conflict of interest. So it's not a question of "slander," it's a question of adhering to the laws of the land.

Government rules against conflict of interest, primarily codified under 18 U.S.C. § 208, prohibit government employees from participating in any official matter where they, their spouse, or immediate family have a personal financial interest that could be directly and predictably affected by their decision, essentially meaning they cannot use their position to benefit themselves financially in a specific matter.

P.S. you say

I know trump is going to lower the us debt

He SURE missed the boat on that LAST TIME, didn't he?? In 2020, tRump set a RECORD by adding about $4 trillion to the debt in one year!!
