Musk "If we don't fix the deficit, America goes bankrupt. It's that simple."

[Marener]

I am not going to take the time and trouble to list all those numbers that you will call fake news anyway. If you are too damn lazy to make the effort to look them up so be it. Do have a pleasant evening.

Dont blame me you made baseless claims you can’t substantiate.

 

[DukeU]

Just don't make cuts to social security or Medicare. Not all that hard to accomplish. Those 2 have been promised to not be cut. Only a minute percentage of people would approve of them being cut.

The only thing that insures cutting SS and Medicare is staying the course we've been on.

It all gets cut if we do nothing about out of control spending by government.

 

[Marener]

More jobs equal more taxes.

We already have jobs.

 

[DukeU]

We already have jobs.

Everybody who wants one right?

No one is looking for a job.

 

[Marener]

Everybody who wants one right?

No one is looking for a job.

We’ve had more job openings than people looking for jobs for the better part of 10 years.

Unless you plan on increasing the population dramatically, there won’t be people to fill all the jobs “created”.

Not that tax cuts do all that much to create jobs anyway.

 

[Mac1958]

They claim they’re so concerned about the deficit but they’re simultaneously cutting taxes by like $4 trillion.

So they don’t exactly walk the walk.

We have to do both. We have to make government more efficient, and we have to raise taxes.

And we sure as hell aren't the only country in this mess.

But NO ONE in politics in ANY country has the political balls to do it.

So, Trump and Musk are killing 2 birds with one stone.

Trimming gov't. waste and filling private sector jobs.

What if, the Democrats want America to go bankrupt? That would be their opportunity to
"fundamentally change" America.

I see no savings in the budget deal only the same old add-on to the debt.

 

[Moonglow]

You want blanket cuts to the budget. Do you think the Democrats would support you? You would get the same threats that Musk is getting. Think it through. A 10% cut would lead to layoffs too.

during Oblama it was 5% across-the-board cuts and we all survived. Fuck Musk he is nothing special.

 

[cnm]

That money in the pockets of consumers would spur economic growth leading to more taxes.

Except everyone except MAGAts know most of that money is not going to consumers with a lower marginal propensity to save, so that it is spent and circulates and stimulates the system.

Rather, it will go to the already wealthy who do not need to spend it.

But MAGAts don't give a fuck about that, even if they understand it.

 

[candycorn]

Democrats say Musk is coming for their ss checks.

If Musk fails, America fails and your ss check will be worthless.

There will be no government goodies if democrats are successful with their intentional collapse of America.

Democrats = traitors

Do you think Trump will show a deficit after this term or will he have paid down the debt?

 

[candycorn]

Strange how when the blob oozed into office in 2016, the Obama era Sequestration went bye-bye.

 

[pknopp]

Do you think Trump will show a deficit after this term or will he have paid down the debt?

I predict we are somewhere around $45 trillion in debt unless the 5-6 actual Conservatives put a stop to it.

How can they? Every dollar reduced Progs sell their voters and the peasants with halt the population will die.

They do. Look up Cloward-Piven strategy.

 

[elektra]

While it's being reported that the Republicans are blowing the deficit to new levels. I've not seen Musk suggest we cut any of the billions going to him either.

Cause you ain't seen it, it did not happen? Pknopp, you are always wrong

You want waitresses to be taxed on tips, you think tips are $4 trillion?

You don't care about either, taxes or spending. You wanted Kamala and Democrat party rule

Tax cuts for the rich caused this problem. Tax increases for the rich will solve this problem.

I saw nothing in that about how the budget wasn't going to explode.

 

[DonGlock26]

See. Dogmatic.

The only chance we have at fixing debt takes budget cuts and tax increases.

Either that or you start kicking old people out of nursing homes or some really drastic cuts.

Like the Biden years? All that Democrat budget cutting and tax increasing?
