Sorry that your entire family is getting laid off. Learn to code.

Show us you how can suck your own dick, great one.

She is just playing bad cop. They have no intention of cutting that much but, if Dems don't get in line on the CR, additional jobs will be cut. They have overplayed their shitty hand. Hell, they didn't even have a hand to start with.
This isn't good cop bad cop. This is bad cop and even badder cop. She brought the lumber and Trump will give them the ultimatum. Deal on the table is it or things get drastically worse for your side.

there’s what you would like the economy to be vs what the economy actually is. i probably agree with you in a very general philosophical sense, i’m talking about the real world.

Good, I'd like more of my money in my pocket.

The link has no info on these cuts.

Is this Congress talk of $2T over ten years, or $200B for this year?
yes in my next post I said if it’s over 10 years it’s another discussion
The problem with this is will it be maintained and followed through or will the next administration undo all of it?

You’re confusing the two. Play this out as is. We’re winning.
Introducing mass layoffs will change the media narrative. Again- when your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt.

if I save $25,000 in federal taxes I am using it to add a bedroom onto my house. In other words, it's still getting spent.

Only way you really tackle the federal spending fiasco is by going after military/social security/medicare spending. Just look at where most spending goes. It's those items.
Having said that this thing crashes one way or another. It could be tonite or it could be 20 years from now. It has to be reset. I think the tariffs are a bandaid to prolong the bleeding.

She’s not running again so maybe that has something to do with it. Occam’s razor.

We need to cut 2T but that’s not possible without cutting massive amounts of welfare, social security, Medicare, and Defense spending. And that will unfortunately never happen
I vote for cutting off all welfare to able bodied working age adults. Go get a fricking job

I didn't know that. Thanks. Most of them hang on to those positions until they die at around 87.
But, if she's getting the hell out of Dodge then she has nothing to lose. Might as well be bold.
