How much money would we be saving without all that pork barrel? We national debt could probably be paid off by the time President Trump’s second term ends, probably even before. He’d leave office with a surplus.

You’d probably save a lot of money in the short and long term, but it would probably cause a short term downturn in the economy. People would actually have to find jobs and do work for themselves. But once you rip the band aid off and root out the weak in society, things will improve.

Lots of rioting by the dependent class until they got shot or ran out of energy.

I doubt We really save any money in the short because of the riots/looting but it might pay off in the long term.

Welfare is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. It kept people from bonding with their communities to live and survive and gave a shite ton of power to the state.

Welfare is just a bribe to tamper down the barbarians.

Most farmers didn't want it in first place. E&P would adjust.

It's always nice when the Subjects dream... keep dreaming.

In the meantime your Rulers will keep devaluing your currency, abusing your labor, taxing into further submission, take your ability to fight back (already stole your will through police state), and keep feeding you Bread & Circuses to fulfill your dopamine addiction of "feels".

Happy Persecution Y'all!

The ones the D’s told him to complain about! Those evil O&G subsidies that remain unnamed, because they have no clue what they are talking about.

As someone in the industry, I believe all operators get is the ability to write off their operating/drilling/Workover/etc cost. You know, things all companies write off......their expenses!
