Cutting Homeland Security will also not make a dent in our spending issue.

You posted a continuing resolution for spending, not a comprehensive budget.
Matt Gaetz would be very upset with you.
NYT article on this
quote:
In October, explaining on the floor of Congress his motion to vacate Mr. McCarthy as speaker, Mr. Gaetz cast his vote as a demand to end that dysfunction. “I think that not passing single spending subject bills is chaos,” he said. “I think the fact that we have been governed in this country, since the mid-90s, by continuing resolution and omnibus is chaos.”
He lamented that “we have been out of compliance with budget laws for most of my life.” In these moments, Mr. Gaetz sounded like a good-government budget wonk, pleading with politicians to simply follow their own rules.

Time to cut the military budget and start spending money on infrastructure. I keep hearing about how powerful these foreign countries are that we give so much tax payer money and military equipment to. Surely if they are as strong and independent as the trolls claim then they can stand on their own and purchase what they need.

YESTERDAY the feds called up a Tennessee national guard unit for deployment to the Middle East. That should tell you where properties are. Instead of helping with flooding, the feds decided they were needed over seas.

It's not a budget, it's a spending bill.
It funded government until September 30
Look what they just did
quote:
On September 25, the U.S. Senate voted 78-18 to pass a bipartisan Continuing Resolution (CR; H.R. 9747) to extend federal spending and avert a government shutdown through December 20, 2024. The U.S. House passed the measure unanimously by voice vote on September 25, just days before the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 on September and beginning of FY 2025 on October 1.
If we had an annual budget, we wouldn't need 2-3 funding bills per year. It would all be taken care of in...the budget.

And we haven't done that since 1996 or so.

When? I don’t hear a thing from FEMA or fed gov on this. Only that Kamella said people of color should get aid first.

So… did it…. Pray tell…. Show how much tax revenue was coming in…. And the various expenditures going out for a given time frame?
Sounds kinda budgety to me

So the government is inefficient and does something several times they could do once if they were efficient.
Sounds like a function of government to me.

Again, we’ve done it yearly as required in art1sec8. As you have pointed out, we’ve actually done it MORE often than required because our government just loves talking a lot about what they could be doing rather than just doing.

Again, $150B is about 1.25 MONTHS of SS spending.
Military
SS
Medicare
Medicaid/ACA spending
Fixing our spending requires taking aims at those 4 programs.
Any discussion of fixing our deficit not focusing on these 4 programs is a waste of time. A diversion/distraction (typically for partisan purposes).

The spending point you are making aren’t wrong, but the entire point is optics, and the larger point that the US government doesn’t care about its own people as much as foreign interests.
And you could argue the foreign interests are at a root a means of providing national security for the domestic population, which I think is bullshite, but regardless of that, is that point being effectively marketed?
Add to this situation, the people in Maui getting like $700 for their devastation and it’s a massive slap in the face. Meanwhile illegal aliens get thousands in assistance
It’s an optics and marketing disaster, and you somehow feel justified in pulling off high level technicality arguments when the regime itself isn’t even capable or interested in doing so, so it effectively is screaming into the wind.

Why do you put military at the top when it’s the least expensive of the 4?

No. They're nothing alike.
They're not even proper spending bills (see: Matt Gaetz)
quote:

It authorized spending, because it was a spending bill.

The reason we don't pass budgets is b/c of government, yes.
Nobody is defending government in this scenario.
I'm just here to make sure we use the right words that reflect reality.
We do not pass budgets. We pass spending bills and continuing resolutions.

ohh here we go. SFP justifying this administrations Anti-American actions again. Again, you’re a fricking POS.
