It's due to the tax cut that he signed
You could also blame Republicans for not cutting spending
Ah
The tax cut he signed could have been a lot better imo, but it also could have been a lot worse
We need to get an accountant into the office. Like it's not hard to balance a budget. Look at the last 3-5 years of tax income rev, low ball the number a bit, and just cut back everything the same amount.
@Grenade123 but but cutting any spending other than military is bad!!!!
honestly even though im mostly republican and conservative i agree that the military has way too much of the budget and we need to cut back on spending for them
like theres security and defense and then theres
oof
TBF, we spend more on education than military and we get snowflakes out of schools
americans need to reinstate draft
easy life makes weak people
2 years of slogging in the shit would do wonders and give people some perspective
maybe a foreign legion analog
can't really say about the mexicaners invading the usa but at least the folk rushing europe at the moment are definitely a) not willing to fight or they wouldn't have left b) the kind of people you'd want to give guns to
the problem in america is two fold
the ideological corruption of the cult of intersectionality, and the overwhelming democratic corruption and thirst for power
ffs everyone with a fully functioning brain and the basic facts can piece together that the democrats don't want a wall because A) orange man bad and B) immigrants vote democrat, legal or illegal
but combine that with the appalling villainization of masculinity of all kinds, and it just spirals out.
not just Immigrants, ALL minority vote democrat
minorities*
what would yo say the DoD get in percentage of the federal budget?
I went to wikipedia yo sate my curiosity. The US federal spending on military/DoD is 15%
IIRC the education budget is 30 bil over defense ATM
Looking over the numbers in that table. The US is spending more per citizen on welfare programs (social security, medicare, medicaid, income security) than my country does. Are all Americans retiring from old age to government mansions with gold cutlery?
No, the system is just bloated, if its anything like Social Security employees are in my country, they work for 20 years and retire with full benefits.
Like the greek 13th month extra salary for public employees.
That got killed after 20+ years as part of the agreement with the germans to refinance their debt
probably the only good thing the EU has done for Greece
having a bunch of people sucking at the goverments tits is not healthy for a country
It's not a Democracy unless you vote Democrat, as they say
Funny The US is a constitutional democratic republic.
Check out cortez's latest tweet best so far
You mean the meme one?
I mean... apparently there is one thing she seems to be somewhat knowledgeable of.
looks old. also: why would you get tax refunds for other people's kids (niece, nephew)?
