DOGE chief Musk bashes massive government spending on illegal immigrants: ‘Boggles the mind!’

[30CAT]

Reality deniers like @extragreen, feel we need to raise taxes, toeing the line of out-of-touch Democrats.

$150.7 billion in just 2023, on illegal foreign nationals!!!!!!

Raise taxes on American citizens?! How about, for once, putting Americans first?

Democrat policies SUCK!!!

DOGE chief Musk bashes massive government spending on illegal immigrants: ‘Boggles the mind!’

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE has signaled that funding for services for illegal immigrants is on the chopping block as the agency prepares to hack away at government spending.

Time for another tax cut for the rich. The last one is costing America 200 billion per year.

You're a Godless stupid lying oathbreaking magat.

It’s money laundering. See who gets those contracts and audit their books to see who they paid money out to and who owns the companies. I guarantee you will find a decent percentage finding its way back into pockets in DC.

Yes you are entitled to your opinion no matter how uninformed it is.

The country does have a spending problem not an income one.

But the drop in revenue was three-and-a-half times as large, the equivalent of more than $16 trillion in lower revenues over a decade. Despite the rhetoric of runaway spending, projections of long-term primary spending have decreased, but projections of long-term revenues have decreased vastly more. The United States does not have a high-spending problem; it has a low-tax problem.

The George W. Bush administration, empowered by a trifecta in 2001, enacted sweeping tax cuts that will have cost more than $8 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2023.

Donald Trump's signature tax bill, enacted when Republicans gained control of the White House and both houses of Congress in 2017, will have cost roughly $1.7 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2023

Look at all my money going to the rich!!! Yep...spending problem.

 

[ThunderCat98]

We all bitch about taxes, which is justified. But the problem is the state and federal government view the people as a neverending source of funds for stupid shit. If they cut out the ridiculous and wholly unnecessary spending and focused solely on the Founder's intended purpose of taxing to operate a limited government, they could do so much more and take so much less, and most people would be fine with paying their share. It's the poor stewardship of our leaders and bloated bureaucracy that is the problem.

Mush is agreeing to send $1 billion in aide to countries in Africa. Meanwhile…in western NC we still have US citizens being left behind by FEMA and other agencies. It’s a disgrace.

Tax cuts don’t cost anything. A tax cut lets the people earning that money to keep more of it versus the government. It’s really that simple.

But then you lying idiots complain about national debt and blame it on too much spending. The PROBLEM is that tax cuts for the rich are the primary cause of national debt. It's really that simple.

The nation’s fiscal pictured changed in 1981 when President Ronald Reagan enacted the largest tax cut in U.S. history,9 reducing revenues by the equivalent of $19 trillion over a decade in today’s terms. Although Congress raised taxes10 in many of the subsequent years of the Reagan administration to claw back close to half the revenue loss,11 the equivalent of $10 trillion of the president’s 1981 tax cut remained.

If not for the Bush tax cuts4 and their extensions5—as well as the Trump tax cuts6—revenues would be on track to keep pace with spending indefinitely, and the debt ratio (debt as a percentage of the economy) would be declining. Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt since their enactment and are responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the debt ratio since 2001, and more than 90 percent of the increase in the debt ratio if the one-time costs of bills responding to COVID-19 and the Great Recession are excluded.

Add $3 trillion for Afghanistan and Iraq wars
$4 trillion for covid
$1.8 trillion for bush's great recession
Most recent 12 years of intererest on debt...$6 trillion

That^^^is 34.8 trillion of the 36 trillion debt. We have a revenue problem.

No, the guy who thinks taking more money from a group that already pays the majority of the taxes will fix our spending problem is stupid, real stupid, like should have constant supervision stupid.

Are we sending out more money than we are taking in?

 

[extragreen]

Are we sending out more money than we are taking in?

Absolutely. And the tax cuts are sending it to the rich in the amount of 26 trillion dollars of the national debt starting with reagan, continuing with bush, and now the orange jesus tax cuts. Now be a good little idiot and tell us how we ought to extend the idiot's tax cuts and create an additional $4 trillion of debt over the next 10 years, and then ask "where is all our money going"?

Tax cuts don't send money to anyone, idiot. Tax cuts allow people to keep more of their own money. Now be a good little sheep and tell us we need to keep spending money we don't have.

Why are you such a dumbass? Taxpayers are just sending less to the government and keeping more of what they earn.

They aren’t receiving money from the government, dumbass.

It's taxpayer money not government money.
