It is not sustainable and much reduction in spending will have to be done or our financial system will collapse. The sooner we start cutting the less painful it will be.
I look at the federal debt clock everyday and not one second has it gone down. It’d be helpful if they took these saving DOGE is doing and put it on the debt. Even a little change downward would excite people. What are they doing with these hundreds of billions in savings?
It’s sustainable.
Just print lots more money, dilute the face value of the creditors of our debt. Easy.
The only hard part is hyper-inflation, but hay, it’s just the lower and middle classes who will be hurt the most. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The other thing that is missing from every story about DOGE slashing spending is the fact that the Republicans want to spend MORE money next year than we did last year.
It’s all kabuki theater.
Big Balls is the missing item. There needs to be a mention of him.
For decades, the average tax payer has been brutalized, required to turn over the profits of their efforts to line the pockets of the congress critters and their cronies under the aegis of “social welfare”.
I haven’t seen a single heart-wrenching story about this!
To the Liberal/RINO public, to paraphrase the Soviets, a $2000 deficit is a tragedy. A $2 trillion deficit is a statistic.
It’s often been mentioned that Social Security is a Ponzi, or pyramid, scheme. It tends to fall apart (or take endless subsidies) as the population ages. That reasoning may apply to Medicare and Medicaid also.
This article points the finger at Medicaid. It might be an easier target, from a political, moral, and logical standpoint. Still, one can expect a big fight.
Primary fact missing is DOGE can only find crap and advise scrapping it to departments and agencies shotcallers
Media acts like he has fiscal power
Inflation.
Inflation is both the consequence but also tool used by government to unburden itself of this debt.
Inflation and adding to the money supply, while the GDP expands numerically (even if there is little or no real growth) makes the debt owed by government less.
It’s essentially lying and stealing.
You will never see those graphics projected on a wall in the House or Senate.
there is another tid bit of information left out as well...
The person(s) responsible was not arrested!! Why wasnt anyone arrested!!??
Daddy has taken the T-Bird away, and we will all have to walk to school tomorrow or ride the bus. Good behavior could result in getting the car keys back, but that remains to be seen.
what’s not mentioned is Pres. Clinton adiosed approx. 400K Fed Employees where the fed government and the budget and the debt were smaller.
But...they were waaaaaaaaay different...because... Pres. Clinton’s cuts were target and focused on making the government work better. Pres. Trumps cuts were random.
