All Musk, Trump, amd JD have to do is:
Get rid of all corporate welfare (John Stossel reported on how huge it was years and years ago, so it’s well over 400 billion a year now).
End the $200 billion a year or so going to “migrants” brought into the US.
Lower military spending by 200-300 billion a year by making Europe defend themselves and not have the US do this so they can shift the money saved to their social welfare programs.
Make Japan, Singapore, Australia, NZ, Taiwan, and other Asian Pacific allies shift more of their spending to military to help the US, saving the US at least amother 100 billion plus.
1 trillion saved right there.
A trillion can be saved by cutting all federal agencies by 50-75%.
Plenty left to fund Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, military.
The only thing that might have to be done is not to raise taxes on corporations (as they will pass the costs along to consumers), but rather raise taxes significantly on multi, multi, multi millionaires and billionaires who have said in interviews they pay less in fed income taxes than their secretaries do.
Watch Democrats (who get their pockets lined by these same people) squawk about this and then the truth will be revealed about them before all of America as they have said Repubs are in the pockets of billionaires, there were more billionaires who supported Kamala than supported Trump, and in 2020, Wall Street gave more campaign cash to Biden than to Trump.
When your benefits are cut 30 percent (on current projections) — and that’s assuming you aren’t means tested out of receiving benefits entirely — just remember that someone tried to tell you the truth, and your response was to call me stupid.
A lot of people are going to get hurt when the inevitable happens. Some of them won’t deserve it. But a lot of them will deserve it in full. Believe lies and vote for liars or come over from the fools’ circus.
Rand Paul is a gadfly.
Me too!
This idiot just wants in the spotlight!
Sick and tired of him, right or wrong!
Any Republican, right now, leaving the reservation to outwardly criticize this President, or conservative ideas, can go POUND!
Do it behind closed doors, not in the public square.
Rand opposes tariffs because they are a tax increase, but he opposes income tax cuts because they add to the deficit.
Clearly Rand prefers the income tax to tariffs.
That makes him a fool.
LOL!!
Some good advice... But I’m a fan and have been since ‘09. Rand is still a Republican even though he’s dead against tariffs and hanging out with RINOs
One issue should not make him persona non-grata here you should remember all the times he’s done good things you agree with (i.e 90% of the time?)
Loyal Freepers might not like him on this issue. Some do if you look at the tags in my threads they’re just not speaking up and prefer anonymity
