Trump says he wants 'freedom' for Iranians after strikes​

The Hill

Feb 28, 2026 — President Trump on Saturday expressed that he wants “freedom” for the Iranian people after the U.S. and Israel carried out strikes against Tehran.


“I want a safe nation, and that’s what we’re going to have,” he added.

In a video posted to Truth Social overnight, the president announced “major combat operations” had begun in Iran and called for regime change.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” he said.

Trump: 'Freedom' for Iran is goal of 'major military operation'​

The Washington Post

Feb 28, 2026 — President Donald Trump told The Washington Post on Saturday that his main concern is “freedom” for the Iranian people.

Don't worry, Cheeto's on top of things

Trump budget seeks $1.5T in defense spending alongside cuts in domestic programs

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care,” Trump said at a private White House event Wednesday.


“It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare — all these individual things,” he said. “They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal.”



-- A $10 billion fund within the National Park Service for beautification projects in Washington, D.C..



-- A $481 million increase in funding to enhance aviation safety and support an air traffic controller hiring surge.


About two-thirds of the nation's estimated $7 trillion in annual spending covers the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs, as well as Social Security income, which are essentially growing — along with an aging population — on autopilot.

Don't forget the cost of sending Americans back to the moon. That rocket was launched costing American taxpayers millions, while doing what exactly for the American people and their problems?

I agree that the Federal Budget has way too many unconstitutional spending items.
Welfare, Daycare, SNAP, Hospice, Medicaid, are all rife with FRAUD as seen in MN and CA and other states.
We need to send the "social safety net" back to the states so they can put people back to work.
I remember when Bill Clinton signed the 2-year lifetime maximum on Welfare, why is that back to forever?

IT WAS 5, STILL THERE. Some states lowered it from 5. Other states like mine, care about kids and allow money from their budgets once parents time out.

TRY to learn actual facts and data first



Key Aspects of the 5-Year Welfare Limit:

• Federal Limit: The 1996 welfare reform law restricts federally funded cash aid to a cumulative 60 months in a recipient's lifetime.
• 
  
• State Variations: States have the flexibility to set shorter time limits or use their own funds to extend assistance beyond 60 months.
• 
  
• Work Requirements: Recipients are generally required to find work within two years of receiving benefits.
• 
  
• Child-Only Exceptions: In many cases, even if adults are timed out, benefits may continue for children.
• 
  
• Hardship Exemptions: States can extend benefits for families facing specific hardships.
• 
  
• CalWORKs (California): California's program has a 60-month limit for adults, but the state continues to provide aid for children after the adult has reached the limit

So YOU are ok with Cheeto increasing the MIC budget by 50%, from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion AND they are probably going to go for $200 billion for Iran?

NO I am not. I want to start paying down the $39T debt by cutting spending, raising the top rate to 40%, and adding new revenue sources only to be used to pay down the debt, including:
A new 2% transaction tax on all financial transactions ($150b/yr)
Remove the Capital Gains tax loophole on financial transactions ($100b/yr)
Collect all IRS taxes owed ($400b)
Fix SS & Medicare (not debt related, but needed)
Send Welfare to the States in phases (saves $1.3T/yr)
Send SNAP, Hospice and other fraud freebies to the states

First Cheeto promised that (CAP GAINS) when he ran a decade ago, THEN slashed the richest taxes.

GOP GUTTING IRS don't you know?

GOP efforts to cut IRS funding, including rescinding portions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and tightening annual budgets, aim to reduce agency size but are projected to decrease federal revenue, increase the deficit, and hamper enforcement on high-wealth tax evasion. Critics argue these cuts hinder taxpayer services and aid tax cheats.
Key Aspects of GOP Efforts:

Funding Reductions: Since 2010, Republican actions have brought the IRS base budget to 40% below 2010 levels (adjusted for inflation). The 2023 debt-limit deal and subsequent appropriations agreed to rescind over $40 billion of the IRA's $80 billion funding boost, with threats of further cuts.

• Enforcement Impact: The cuts are estimated to hinder the agency's ability to collect legally owed taxes, particularly from high-income earners. Studies suggest that cutting enforcement funding actually increases the federal deficit by a greater amount than the savings from reduced spending.

• Staff and Services: The cuts have resulted in significant workforce reductions and threaten the modernization of technology for processing refunds, leading to poorer customer service for taxpayers.

Projected Revenue Loss: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that earlier attempts to cut over $70 billion in IRS funding would have reduced revenue by $186 billion over ten years, resulting in a net deficit increase of over $100 billion.



WELFARE SPENDING HUH? Biggest portion, by far is Medicaid, so the states can just let the people die, faster?

Put the buggers to work and then they will have healthcare insurance instead of Medicaid or Welfare.
