just think about an asshole like this being your vice president

But can the US afford it?

I highly doubt it Shen Li Shen.

Even a nation as wealthy as the United States.

Likewise I thought Kamala Harris's idea of giving away $25,000 US ($40,000 Canadian) for 1st homeowners was loony as well.

Just adds to the deficits.

Nothing should be given away that a nation can't afford. Tax cuts for the rich or extravagant social programs.

At least Ralph Klein in your province of Alberta only gave out rebate cheques when the deficits got paid down. People hated him for his budget cuts but at least he got the debt down. He was that old fashioned type who only spent what was in the kitty.

Btw Klein was originally a member of the Liberal party til he switched to being a conservative.

You quickly pivoted after stating that eliminating federal taxes on the working poor is giving money away to billionaires.

S

mart Cucknadians worry less about Orange Man Great and more about the depression thats coming to Canduhduh from fighting him.

It's not Orange Man that has driven millions of working Canadians to rely on food banks. It's the federal Liberal Party of Canada that did that.

No.. but there are games you can play with the numbers within the system so that a hammer suddenly costs the program half a million dollars and coffee cups are sudden costing more than 250K a piece

Yep. I worked for General Dynamics back in the day when they were selling toilet seats for $500. Its easy to justify charging that because instead of sending a government employee down to Lowes to buy 1 million of part number "X" for $25/ea, they have to draw up engineering plans, inspect manufacturing, inspect packaging, etc, and viola! You now have a toilet seat that costs $500.

The Trump Administration will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits. President Trump himself has said it over and over and over again.

The president campaigned on no benefit cuts. His working class base would not have voted for him if he had promised cuts.

Elon Musk didn't say that, either. The mainstream media is lying again.

Here is Musk's direct quote: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending — which is most of the federal spending is entitlements — so, that's, like, the big one to eliminate. That's the, sort of half-trillion, maybe $6-700 billion a year."

And he's exactly right.

FACT: The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates taxpayers lose as much as $521 billion annually to fraud — and most of that is within entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
FACT: Over the past two decades, the federal government has made an estimated $2.7 trillion in "improper payments" — the majority of which come in the form of "payments to deceased individuals or those who no longer [are] eligible for government programs."
FACT: The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022.
FACT: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated it made $140+ billion in improper payments in 2024 alone.

What kind of a person doesn't support eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that ultimately costs taxpayers more?

it is amazing to me -- the stupidity of the left

they are protecting, tooth and nail, the very thing that WILL bring about the outcome they claim they oppose

fraud, waste and abuse is the fast track to insolvency and insolvency will lead to the discontinuation of ALL benefits as the government collapses under it's own weight

holy fuck... this is basic 101 type stuff and these animals just don't get it

The kind of person who is financially benefitting the corruption and graft.  The ones that are squealing the loudest are the ones that have the most to lose.
