If any of these US oligarchs simply gave $1m to every American family,
#7 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS
I think you'd better check your math...
Elon is worth roughly $400 billion...
There are approximately 127 million families in in the US...
400,000,000,000.00/127,000,000.00 = approximately $3149.60. Which is nowhere near $1 million.

Who would buy such a useless POS, no matter what color it is?

He is producing a report. He has zero authority to do anything beyond that.

Yet his actions have managed to shut down entire agencies. Who do you think you're lying to?

Tax cuts are responsible for the majority of the national debt. But keep spouting that CATO quackery.

If we're going to acquire Greenland from Denmark, I think we should trade Texas and Floriduh for it.

Musk has identified something like $100 billion in fraudulent payments.

So Musk says. But until there is substantial proof, and not just screenshots of his TwitX feed.... There's a sucker born every minute.

I find it very strange that anyone would object to an organization (or even one person) looking to minimize fraud, waste, and abuse.

I find it very strange that anyone would take the words of known fraudsters, without any substantial proof that this is even what's happening.
If Trump is trying so hard to root out fraud, then why is he eliminating so many of the people who do actual oversight? I can only think of one reason to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and fire so many Inspector Generals. And it sure as hell has nothing to do with eliminating fraud.

It's part of the Constitution you ignoramus.

I know a few Trump supporting veterans. I'm constantly amazed at their selective knowledge and understanding of the US Constitution, which they ALL took an oath to protect.

This may be the very worst appointment of all. If they didn't already have to info, she will pass all of our nations sensitive intel to the Russians.

So now he's begun undermining US currency. To help his crypto? To help Russia?
I don't believe Trump says crap like this for no reason.

I was speaking to a friend with strong ties to the National Park Service, yesterday. They have similar issues. If the Park Service can't get their seasonal employees, many National Parks may be gated shut this summer. The Forest Service will have issues, as well.

No worries. I'm sure Trump can fix it all with his Sharpie.

Perhaps Trump simply meant that the US has no intention of paying those bills. He IS pretty well known for stiffing contractors.

That's unfortunately true. I wish RCade would at least give us a "Liar" flag.

The elimination of USAID is going to further destabilize the entire world.

Seriously RCade... Why do you let the liar @#4 stay?

what is West Point going to do about the reason those Clubs existed?

They'll find a way to stop enrolling those students.

I have a feeling, before this term is up, we're going to see how much Agent Orange has learned from Putin about suiciding people out of hotel windows.

GAWD! I'm tired of lazy, ------ journalism!
Musk wants to kill USAID because USAID helped in a significant way to end apartheid in South Africa. It's bigotry ...as simple as that.

I wasn't going to watch anyway. But thanks for a couple more reasons.
