4.7 Trillion dollars and we are to believe it wasn’t fraud

I don't think that any reasonable person can believe that 70% of federal expenditures are waste, fraud, and abuse.

Then the goal should be to make sure that the States are using the funds appropriately, not slashing them willy-nilly.

I am all for allying with others to get the federal budget balanced over a five year period; but not in such a manner that reminds me of the movie, "Idiocracy".

Taiwan is a wonderful country, they abide by the rule of law, work hard, are moral people and they’re not afraid to cane you for being a criminal. Plus they are a tech country. It’s
Unconsciousable to have a communist government takeover. I’m also concerned about Russia’s next targets after the invasion of the Ukraine. Balkan and Slavic I.e., Poland, Rumania, Lithuania.

This mornin I read that the Europeans have conducted meetings to suggest ways to fund the Ukies and there is one suggestion I found to be provocative…it involves removing Russian money from European banks and providing it to Z to fund his war against Russia using Russian money to the tune of 300 Billion …. And I found that hilarious that they would even think to be so audacious. What would Trump and his band of, eh …don’t be critical now …it’s too funny though.;)

Great idea since Russia is the aggressor in the war.

I suspect it wouldn’t be that easy, you would have to bring civil lawsuits, and it would have far reaching consequences for anyone wanting to invest in the EU.

Tomorrow it could be they don’t like your views on child mutilation of “trans” kids, or don’t like your views on abortion or anything else, so they just take your bank account.

Once you set the precedent of taking money from one to give to another, without any kind of judicial proceedings, you have a breakdown of confidence in the economic systems.

Peace to you

I honestly don’t know for certain, but agree there must be laws in place.

I have heard of countries freezing assets of other countries, denying access to the funds. I haven’t heard of countries actually seizing the assets, at least not in the modern era, and then giving those assets to a rival country, especially one involved in a war.

If I remember my history correctly, it seems the allies after WW1 actually seized assets from Germany as ongoing retribution for their aggression and repayment for expenses.

This led to great resentment among the German people and the rise of a particularly violent regime.

I agree with the sentiment of using money from Russia to fund the Ukrainian forces, but don’t think there is a legal way to do it.

Peace to you

And there is this little item in Trump’s little show yesterday that just enraged me involving trotting out a kid with cancer…. What the….Both you and your Doge boys cut funding for pediatric cancer research in January! simply WTF!!! Simply put, my wife and I support those programs with every bit of cash we can muster… and it has been unfortunately reduced cause you have eliminated ceiling levels for our own drugs causing them to skyrocket in price, then you have the gall to use this kid as a prop to bolster your own dirty deeds agenda!?! THATS SHAMELESS! Just tell the truth for heavens sake.

There is and it was explained but I don’t have that particular internet piece to refer to except there is a payback clause in it, not simply a take the money and run. Still, if they could borrow from Russia to fight Russia that’s pretty slick ( if possible ).

What was shameful was the Dems sitting on their hands while DT recognized this young boy’s struggle with cancer.

DOGE did cut out that $60 million to study transgenderism in mice.

Did that enrage you too?

That cut illegal border crossings by 98%. Does that enrage you too?

They discovered 10’s of millions of folks recognized by SSA as being over 100 years old. Millions above 120 years old.

Does that enrage you too?

DOGE discovered the Department of the Treasury had $4.7 TRILLION on the books with no indication where the money went.

Does that enrage you too?

Like DT stated, for some, the criticism will come no matter what he does.

Peace to you

Again,

“The SSA maintains a computer database known as the Death Master File. However, this database was not established until 1983, and not every state has fully participated until recently. Thus, deaths that occurred prior to the 1980s were less likely to be included.”

Social Security vs. The Vampires - Concord Action

Elon Musk made headlines this week when he revealed the Social Security Administration (SSA) failed to record the deaths of millions of people over the age of 100 and suggested vampires might be real and a lot of them were collecting Social Security. He also noted there were more “eligible”...

For those who, like me, were not aware of the use of transgenic mice prior to President Trump's foul-up in his speech on Tuesday night:

"UGA researchers developed the world's first transgenic mouse model to study Hirano bodies, tiny structures found in nerve cells of people with Alzheimer's disease."

www.onlineathens.com

What are transgenic mice? UGA was on the forefront of using them for Alzheimer's research

According to multiple research sites, mice are valuable tools for studying diseases in a laboratory setting. Here is what transgenic mice are.

There is going to be many reasonable persons totally disabused of their naivety after this audit.

Socialists really bury their snouts in the trough.

Hitler, in Mein Kampf, wrote about the "Big Lie" (Grosse Luge) - a falsehood so huge and brazen that people would think that it must be true.
Now we know that Trump claimed that the USA gave $315 billion to Ukraine, when the actual figure is less than a third of that, to justify the USA taking all Ukraine's mineral assets. Also, the claim that there are 10s of millions of non-existent centenarians claiming benefits has also been shown to be wildly overblown, so I would tend to doubt the rest of this stuff.

If Trump ever shook my hand, I would count my fingers afterwards.
