Idk - i kinda like mine better. No foreign entity or individual can own more than a single family house. Certainly not farmland.

I'm ok with an immigrant comes to America, buys a farm, & then operates it as a family business. That is individual and small scale. But foreign investors & corporate interests should not control our good supply.

Frankly, I'm just as concerned with large scale farmland ownership by wealthy Americans. Why does Bill Gates own huge amounts? He is the single largest individual owner of American farmland.

I don't see why they cannot transition that organization to providing some of those services to Americans (homeless, victims of the fires, unemployed, etc) and rely on charitable donations to cover their expenses. In my mind, that's how charities had always operated.

If they are dependent on taxpayer money and provide services to criminals (like illegal aligns), I want them shut down. If they are actively helping illegals evade capture & deportation, they should be in prison as Homan & Bondi have threatened to do.

"we cannot zero base budget the US budget. "

Actually, we can. Someone just won't.

Do you know the size of the budget? I had an opportunity to sit down in USDOT and have lunch with someone that worked in "modes". Modes of Transportation. The deal with Air, Maritime, Rail, Roads, and many more subcatagories. Each was in the millions to hundreds of millions. They did not even break it down further than that. For each category is a State for each mode and all the facilities that make up thier transportation system. Think of Texas or Florida, they are each 1 of 50. Now think of taking that back to zero every year and having a new budget done in time to make Congress. This is one Dept. The scale of doing that is ridiculous, Carter learned that. We went through this with him. It will take one hell of an investment to get the capability to do that.


Then do that once every few years and maintain the same level of funding each year. No automatic increases. Eliminate incentives to spend leftover funds near the end of each fiscal year, often wasted on parties, unnecessary travel, etc. Taxpayer money should never be wasted on frivolities when our national debt is ridiculously high.

I understand the scope.

It's a "feature", not a bug, as they say.

But a full budget can be done, and must.

Maybe. It's also possible that it's part of a scam by his WEF buddies. You know, the rich crazies who think the world is overpopulated, needs to reduce global population by billions, that we need to eat bugs & fake meat grown in a lab, they we should all live in new cities they build & control, and that we "will own nothing and be happy."

He and they have some loony ideas about what the works should look like and are actively promoting those ideas. Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, etc.

Obama-a US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied an emergency filing to block DOGE's access to federal records and government layoffs - saying in a 10-page decision that the 14 states who brought the lawsuit have failed to meet the burden of proof to prove "imminent, irreparable harm."

That will never, ever pass because it's going to exclude a huge chunk of black and brown (and white) people. It will immediately be labeled as racist.

Is it too much to ask for the DOGE dividend to be proportional to how much one payed in taxes? It doesn't seem fair to give $5000 to someone that paid $50 in taxes.

maybe, at least they thought about only refunding people who actually paid in

Pence had his chance to be relevant. I don't care who started it. Ending it would be nice for the people, but most importantly our funding of this war is over. If Europe wants to keep shoveling money into the corrupt Ukraine machine, then they can have at it. If Putin attacks a NATO country, we will live up to our obligations but the money laundering mechanism known as the Ukranine conflict is over for the USA.

If you did that there would be those that would start to complain about how they are 40, 50 or 60 and have paid taxes longer than some 22 year old.
