Gotta spend what we’re saving on social services somehow.
Pretty sure we’re still spending more money than was saved.
Don’t forget most of the “savings” actually cost us - like firing IRS workers who bring in like $10 for every $1 spent on salary, or canceling contracts where we already paid for things not received. .
The weird thing is, that’s off-brand for Trump. He prefers to not pay for things he did receive.
Stable genius
Inasmuch as he once saw a horse.
but at least they are spending it efficiently!
With gallons-per-mile vehicles!
People forget that national guard isn’t a full time position. It’s usually one weekend a month and one week a year.
So calling them up is very disruptive to them, they have jobs and lives that are being massively interrupted by a call up. When it’s to deal with flooding or wild fires, or like any sort of actual emergency, that disruption is probably justified to them.
This is definitely pissing off a lot of them, especially given that they’re best positioned to see what a non issue the situation on the ground is.
That’s not even a drop in our budget though. He could do that every day for the rest of his term and it’s only around a billion. I wish our government cared about throwing away billions, but they consider it chump change. We’re fucked.
I wonder how many people could have their medical debt erased with $1million per day…
