President Trump's Cabinet

[Cathode]

He didn’t do crap for me except tax me and send it down to the southern states. He also tarried appliances I bought causing me to pay more and wait months for them. So what.

Beyond immediate needs, he is doing a lot for the common good.

Tariffs bring industries and jobs back into the country, lowers or eliminates the need for income tax.

Deportations decrease crime, increase real wages to liveable, reduces stress on hospitals and infrastructure in general.

Cutting waste could boost money available to essential services, to veterans, elderly, medical, pharmaceuticals etc etc.

Regaining energy self sufficiency has and over all deflationary effect. Reducing the cost of living.

Paying down debt, reduces the over all tax burden, making available more money for citizens essentials.

Border control reduces drug deaths, people trafficking and a host of associated evils.

Deal with the stoved in side of the ship first, then attend to the deck chair arrangement after.

I agree but let's hope he is not moving too fast

My fear is he's not moving fast enough. We needed this in 2016.

I think Trump needs to have his major policies set in legislation before the midterms, otherwise Democrats could halt everything.

One term will not be enough anyway, hopefully Vance will continue the fight after Trump.
Rinos and Democrat globalists have done massive damage to the US over the decades.
I hoped Pat Buchanan would have been elected in the 90’s, Trumps enacting Pat Buchanan’s policies from the 90’s.

Such pessimism and negativity

Well. Yeah! Never going to happen until Republicans acquire a super majority in Congress, and even then RINOs could still screw it up.

Hopefully all this proxy taxpayer funding Democrats have been cut off from will be just the ticket. Cuts their election war chest back substantially.

Trumps idea of refunding the taxpayers a dividend from all these savings might win a few more seats in Congress.
Imagine getting a $5000 refund, with a pledge to find more savings for further dividends, and still getting some debt paid off.

Where did the $5000.00 refund come from? First I’m hearing it…please explain.

It's not the Democrats right now. I'm listening to a news broadcast now revealing RINOs that are afraid to carry through some of these much-needed cuts. The people are going to have to suck it up and tolerate some short-term pain for long-term gain and let their representatives know they're willing. I don't see that happening either. A spoiled bunch of people, we are.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Anyway I’m hearing rumblings about Tom Holman initiatives regarding not receiving enough money to execute his job properly. Has this problem been resolved yet?

Well, they are finding massive fraud and waste, and Trump was thinking of giving it back to the people partly 20% at least.
Musk wanted to use it all to pay down the public debt.

But I think struggling people could really use and appreciate $5000. Most Americans I talk too aren’t well off at all.
It could work out to be a lot more depending on what DOGE finds.

 

[canadyjd]

Well, DT has not declared himself to be King, yet, so maybe he doesn’t want that after all.

@KenH, what do you think of DOGE going through the budget, line by line, looking for cuts? Are you supporting DT yet?

Peace to you

Congress, at least for the time being, controls federal government revenues and expenditures. I am starting to wonder if Congress might eventually cede those powers to the presidency, as they have pretty much all of their other powers during the course of the 21st century so far. If they do so, then there really won't be any point in continuing to have a Congress, and spending all that money on salaries for representatives and senators, their travel, their staffs, and all of the other expenses they incur.

Are you supporting DT yet?

No. I do not support the United States government aligning itself with authoritarian, expansionist Russia and regarding the free world as an enemy. I am wondering what will be next - the United States aligning itself with authoritarian China and siding with it in expanding by invading Taiwan? Maybe these will eventually be the new Axis powers - Russia, China, and the United States.

Don’t give them any ideas.

Because he is very concerned about the national debt, EW&F

The commission called DOGE does not have any power to reduce one cent of the expenditures appropriated by the Congress; the executive branch cannot - at least not Constitutionally - spend more money than the Congress has appropriated, nor spend less money than the Congress has appropriated.

This whole matter could be cleared up by the United States returning to its original Constitution, the Articles of Confederation of 1781, in which the presidency was pretty much a "nothingburger", and the federal government had very little power to do much of anything. Patrick Henry, and the other Antifederalists, have been proven correct when they railed against the adoption of the new Constitution.

The usurping of our hard-won Revolution by the Federalistas is still the WORST single catastrophe in American history. Agree with you 110%, bro.

To be certain, the congress (both House and Senate) relinquished their powers to the Executive branch, and the unelected federal employees, several decades ago.

They abide by a policy of “base line budgeting”, which means federal spending can never get smaller: what was spent in the last budget is the starting point for the new.

They simply pass “continuing resolutions” that just keep all the wasteful spending in place.

This has lead to hundreds of billions of fraud every year. No one ever checks the books.

At least DT and DOGE are attempting to shake it all loose.

The House initiates the spending. They just passed a spending plan based on DT’s plan. Maybe the Senate will follow suite.

DT is following the constitution and shedding light on corruption.

I really thought you would think that was a good thing.

Peace to you
