Because the owners of our Congress will never allow it. They'll vote how they're told.

at this point it doesn't even matter. There is always a reckoning and for us it's just a matter of time. Prep your A's accordingly.

Hmmm.

All foreign aid (actual foreign aid and not US government operations carried out abroad) combined is typically less than 1%% of the federal budget (which is how you know this is just a campaign virtue signal by Gaetz).

Congress costs over 2 Billion dollars a year.

How about no MRAs while we're $37 Trillion in debt?

How are they in debt? They only have money they receive from the taxpayers. Where does the extra money come from that doesn't come in thru taxes?

That 70 billion would barely even make a dent in the 2.3 trillion that Trump nd the Republicans added to the debt just this year.

CONGRESS, not democrats.

Congress should be required to show a ROI on that money.

If they can't, instant special elections.

Sounds like it's a good thing Biden isn't in office then. What happened to all those Republicans who cried about the national debt while he was in office though? Did they all lose their voices suddenly?

No. They just voted to add to it.

This is step one and people need to begin to see the Trump process. Cut away until you get to the truth. Cut away and see who screams the loudest. Cut away and show what is really taking place.

Go after the worst of the worst and low and behold you start finding more illegals and more fraud.

Cut USAID and watch how certain things try up.

Don't release Epstein files and then get the dems to demand them.

Realize this though, the real enemy is establishment Republicans like Thune and Grassley and obstructionist smoke screaners like Massie who are blocking all of Trump judges right now and distracting from the real issue that the republican senate and house are sitting on their hands.

If Massie really wanted to do good he would be attacking Grassley, because those lack of judges are going to eat our lunch when the Republicans as purposefully lose the midterms.

Stop foreign aid AND welfare.

Budget balanced with a quickness.

The old "drop in the bucket" argument.

that's a classic.

But, enough drops fill up the bucket and everyone wants their drop

According to Google AI, the total cost of the War on Poverty is about $25 trillion, which leads me to believe that the real number is around $50 trillion. Go figure. That’s a lot of money to be spent on useless eaters.
