The transparency and cost cutting hoax......BUSTED

Posted on: February 13, 2025 at 13:27:06 CT

Now we are all aware of the fact that when republicans
say government spending "waste" they really mean any spending regardless of value or worth that is not for the military or associated reasons (locking people up, etc).
But here is what real waste looks like:

And of course when someone warns of this half a billion dollars of life saving aid spoiling, the trumpian knee jerk reaction is to fire them, as well as any IG (whose job is to find waste-real waste not trump defined waste)
to replace them with Project 2025 hires.

Lets examine further what real waste looks like, shall we?

In his 4 years of office , military spending increased
132 BILLION per year from what he inherited. And guess what? Its going to go up a whole lot more in the next 4.

For 3.5 weeks the our republican friends have been singing and dancing about all this mythical "winning",
The decent America loving posters have pointed out how much damage the trump has already done to this country in just that short time, some which will take decades to recover from. The delusional reply was how much Musk was cutting spending. I have patiently told you to wait for the first budget and the smoke and mirror three card monte will reveal itself. And so it has.

Notice the "goal" is to cut 2 trillion worth of spending
"over 10 years". Any time some wank tells you about savings over "10 years" you can be certain it is total
trump shiite. If 100 million was cut this year, and 90 million next year , and 80 million the third and so on for 10 years, that alone would be a savings of over 3.8
trillion..."over 10 years". But wait there is of course more. They are seeking to raise the debt ceiling by
4 trillion, which you can bet your life that it will need to be raised again, and not in some distant future.
That equals potentially and PROBABLY 40 trillion..."over 10 years" in increased spending. And golly holla bobba look what they want to increase-military and locking people up money.

Well those are the facts, only two replies are ever expected from trumplicans and so dawns another day.
