House Approves Trump Budget Blueprint After Winning Over GOP Holdouts in c/Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com
[–] redut_nl@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org -3 points 3 months ago

He doesn't have to be, but economy is pretty important and more debt, causing uncertainty and promoting less trade is not the solution. What was he thinking - start a trade-war with "the world". 😅

I’m fine with DOGE, smaller government, free speech, less 'woke' culture, and lower taxes, but I don’t understand why everyone still seems to support Trump no matter what he does. He’s clearly mishandling trade and continuing the spending spree

Will be interesting to see where this ends. Probably not well.

Americans deliver shock verdict on Trump's new tariffs: approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase! in c/Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com

I agree with Thomas Sowell on this one. Tariffs are taxes. Only positive if it is a short term negotiating tactic, but negative if he really wants to fix something you don't have to fix (trade deficits).

I am not surprised. Socialists like taxes and tariffs are taxes.

AG Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione in c/Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com

Threatening with the death penalty might prevent copy-cat behavior. Left is out of control.

Personally I am not a big fan of death penalties. There are too many examples of people that have been sentenced by mistake. OTOH - if anyone deserves it - it is this guy.

No respect for property. That basically sums up the left wing philosophy

DOGE administrator Amy Gleason may be wielding extraordinary power for Trump in c/Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com

Who cares who she is as long as she gets the work done. Meritocracy

New EPA guidance says spending items greater than $50,000 must get approval from DOGE in c/Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com
[–] redut_nl@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org -2 points 5 months ago

Will probably be a lot of spending items for $49,999 then. You can't trust bureaucrats with taxpayers money. Not even $1

NKY's Thomas Massie stands alone among Republicans voting against Trump-backed budget bill (www.msn.com)
 

I think Thomas Massie is right.

"We have no plan whatsoever to balance the budget other than growth, but what they're proposing is to make the deficit worse," said Massie, according to USA Today. Massie wears a pin on his lapel displaying the total federal debt constantly ticking up.

Good. This is how you transform an organisation. The bad apples leave voluntarily. They think they are indispensable but they are not. Nobody is.

Massive fraud "red flag”, could also be a matter of data integrity issues. Anyway another example why DOGE is needed.
