Are you saying we need more hire more government employees?


Of course he's not saying that.

He's saying that crowing because Trump reduced the number of federal employees falls flat when he's also spending even more money than we spent when we had all the federal employees.

Wasn't that the point? To stop wasting so much taxpayer money?

So why is it hard to understand why someone wouldn't be that impressed with an action that is designed to save money over here when we're just spending even more money over there?

Money is a part of it, but more so everyone should want the government to be as small as it can be. Our growth as a country should be from the private sector not the public. The economy didn’t grow under Biden so they created as many government positions as they could. Trump has done a great job cutting all of those government positions and bringing in investments that will create long term careers.

So are you saying the voters are not responsible to any degree for what the people they elect do?


Individuals are responsible for their actions.

correct. No more endless ME wars.

we found the new talking point?

While I don't agree with us being in the Middle East just watching people like you move on to the next talking point is hilarious. We had BLM, He's going to take our rights, No kings, Russia Russia, We stand with Palestine, DEI is our Strength(BS), Ukraine, Epstein Epstein, Trust the Science(Fuk that midget), Men can be women and I could keep going. How many times does the Left cry wolf because no one in the middle or on our side listens any longer. Democrats ratings at all time low.

Awesome.

So since voting is worthless, you wouldn't object to repealing the 19th, then?

If you don’t want women to participate in electing government, then women shouldn’t be allowed to participate in funding the government, either. Surely you will concede this point. No taxation without representation.

We 100% deserve the conquering that is coming.

reduced govt employment > reduced govt expense


Because we lay off Americans and then hire contractors that are foreign and actually pay the company a higher rate than what we played the government employee that was cut. Mouth breathers like it but then complain that there's Indians and Muzzies everywhere.
