Sure "it could save trillions"…

Look I love cutting expenses but I want real serious, painful cuts.

Call a spade a spade. Be honest. These are token cuts at very best.

Cutting off government employees OF subs is good; fire them too while you're at it…but we are working with a $6.5T dollar budget. You're not going to get meaningful cuts that way.

I want massive spending cuts. 2% just doesn't move the needle for me and it definitely doesn't move the needle for the amount of political capital that was spent.

If you're Musk he could have given the government $150B and been better off than he ended up. That's not ok.
You miss my point.

Government has known about the waste for a very long time. Remember Proxmire's 'Golden Fleece' awards?

There was no mood to stop it until now, and more than a little evidence that the current Congress has spines of macaroni.


if nothing else, DOGE has opened the discussion, and put pressure on Congress to follow the leads given to it.

Musk never had unilateral power to make the cuts you want. This is all about forcing Congress to get off it's ass.
good points

In April, inflation eased to its lowest monthly growth in four years, while Americans' personal income and rate of savings jumped, data released Friday by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reveal.

As measured by the BEA's Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, prices increased 0.1% from March, as did the "core" index, which excludes the volatile food and energy categories.

Compared to the same month a year ago, April's price index is up 2.1% and its core index is 2.5% higher the slowest year-over-year growth for any month since February of 2021. Both numbers represent movement closer to the Federal Reserve's target inflation rate of 2.0%.

While inflation was somewhat lower than analysts' expectations, Americans' disposable personal income (DPI) growth was far higher.

At 0.8%, the monthly increase in current-dollar personal income is nearly three times expectations and the largest growth in four years,

This is completely normal.

You have to swear an oath to a foreign country to be granted an AMERICAN visa.

We are definitely not a colony of Israel.

It is rather strange to make this some official entry litmus test.

To answer your original question I would say it depends on the time period, historically UK and France were solid allies, I don't know about now though

Japan and South Korea are good ones

I just don't see Israel doing anything from the others that would warrant the title of our "Greatest Ally"

People take Trump's trolling far too seriously. I think he enjoys watching Leftist heads exploding!

No idea but he does it all the time. It's like the left reading The Onion as factual.

Doesnt bother me too much. I enjoy the explosions more. One of the joys of not having a POTUS made his bones in the business world and not through the political party system
