Dividend Check

[H20fwler]

I’ve got to say I get a huge kick out of seeing DOGE trimming the fat.
The ridiculousness of waste and corruption they are finding is bigger and dumber than I ever imagined.
That is OUR tax money that was being stolen, this isn’t a democrat or republican thing it is an American thing, the way bureaucrats were grifting money was unsustainable.
That Musk is doing this for free to help better the country is commendable, the guy is sleeping in his office he is spending so much time on rooting the corruption out.

The far left and rhino right absolutely hate him for exposing their money laundering scams and that is very telling. The smear campaign that Soros and the deep state are lamely trying to do to Musk is just funny and transparent.

One of the big things Trump was elected on was to drain the swamp, looks like they are working on it.
Promises made promises kept.

Can we start trimming our debt and eventually get this country back on track? Or is it too late? Even if we can do it the future generations are getting shafted because of the damage that was done by those before them. It's reparations in a way. Paying for something that's not their fault. Sickening. jmo

Elon is probably keeping up with his child support if I had to guess. Any lefty want to give an excuse for hunter hiding in the white house avoiding his responsibility as a parent?

 

[buckdeer1]

He is probably using the billions he made and will continue to make off the huge government funding he has been receiving to put satellites up.Also he make an ugly ass truck that isn't good for anything a truck is used for and their cars are only alittle better unless you want to start a fire or get killed be a driverless car.

 

[jsasker007]

Government funding? He makes products and provides services. Should he do it all for free?

DOGE is very popular, approved by 77% of Americans! (Recent Harvard/Harris poll). I thought I’d never see the day , where we make a concerted effort to save $$ and cut back on fraud and waste!

Is DOGE still a thing? Or have they just resorted to selling off public lands?

Finding stuff every day. The gnashing of teeth just subsided because no one cared they were crying.

It's too bad that DOGE can't eliminate the root cause of all the waste they're finding.

It's beyond frustrating.

Another things. So doge has uncovered a bunch of fraud. Anyone been arrested? I’ve heard of zero. Seems like a pretty decent career path. Get into government or some ngo. Steal hundreds of thousands to millions. Get fired. Live on the farm the rest of your life. Not a bad gig.

Speaking of dividend checks, how many of you out there have been getting the promised profit-sharing / dividend checks every year since the 2017 tax law overhaul trump pushed through?? How have you gents been spending / investing all those checks that were promised would come from a lighter corporate tax "burden" ??? Aren't those checks wonderful???!!!

Has anyone realized any changes in your life as a result of cuts made by DOGE? I cannot think of a single thing that has changed in my life. GO DOGE GO!

Goes both ways though. Hasn’t made my life any worse, but it isn’t any better either. Not because of DOGE anyway. And here comes this GIANT spending bill…

The latest House budget is expected to increase the deficit by 5 Trillion. What was the old expression? You need to spend money to save money. That doesn't seem right?

Some analyses are saying DOGE cuts/savings are a fraction of what DOGE has claimed. Who freaking knows at this point because there is no accountability.

Meanwhile, I personally know entire USDA research labs that have been shut down. Research that was working on rust and blight resistance in crops. What is the future cost to farmers for those cuts? To add salt to the wounds, an untold millions in technical lab equipment will be auctioned off for steep discounts because that is policy when there are no research leads to oversee its maintenance. When these labs go to start back up (and they will have to), all new equipment will have to be purchased. This is in two labs from one very small part of the country. I haven't even brought up the future loss of top of their field scientists that used to be attracted towards these positions. Who in their right mind would want to go work for the USDA now? What is that cost?

I have no doubt there were plenty of opportunities to gut federal expenses. In the miniscule corner of the federal government I get to see, the savings don't even add up on paper today.

Was thinking this myself. Also think the unintended consequences of frat boy tech bro DOGE’ers from Silicon Valley tinkering with ag, research and frankly USAID programs haven’t been felt yet. Haven’t figured out yet why as a republican I’m supposed to be violently against starving people getting bags of grain my neighbors grew.

I wonder how many Americans think that government is doing what it was assembled to. do.....or if there is a chance it could ever be reeled inward(at all)

So, we all know that the Federal Government spends too much money.....and our economy is on an unsustainable path from every report I have ever heard or read. What is it that anyone else has proposed that could be a solution to this situation? I have never heard a government reform platform offered by any other party. NONE. So what do you think should be done. Nothing? I think the cuts made were in good faith. Maybe not all will be perfect in every area.....I do not know. But I suppose we will have to put those wheels back on some things.....if it is as you say.

Personally, I think the things Trump has accomplished thus far are fantastic.....not sure any other person could have done so much. Many needed changes have occurred. More will follow. Two weeks ago everyone was afraid about the stock market. Before that Wars? Iran and Nuclear weapons? Before that it was the border. Crime and Illegal Drugs. Cartels? Drug costs. International Trade. Before that it was food prices. Now its starvation in some lands. All are valid concerns.....but I do not know how the world lays all these world problems on the doorstep of the United States.....and expects immediate long-term solutions. This administration did not create these issues....but they are working hard to solve many.....and getting results quite quickly IMHO.

There is allot of injustice in this world....an plenty of strife. A little patience by the American Public would be in order. Just saying.

I just fail to see the point in founding DOGE and then continuing to deficit spend. So they saved 170 Billion? Ummm… No. Nothing has been saved at all. The national debt continues to grow.
