    You’ve fallen for the propaganda again on this. He isn’t cutting actual welfare or aid. He is searching for waste, fraud and corruption

    True. The best thing about most things Musk cuts is that he quietly uncuts them the next day!

    • At least 20 people have been killed as Russian strikes hit several regions in Ukraine overnight, including Donetsk and Kharkiv, according to Ukrainian official eight residential buildings and an administrative building were also reportedly damaged following strikes in Dobropillya in Donetsk
    • It comes after US President Donald Trump said he was "strongly considering" large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia, which he said is "absolutely 'pounding' Ukraine on the battlefield"
    • The US has limited Ukraine's access to satellite imagery and paused military and intelligence aid
    • Ukraine has continued to target Russia - the Russian defence ministry says it intercepted 31 drones overnight

    Trump has to share responsibity for the deaths.

    The thing that you’re missing is that these cuts and changes aren’t some sort of ideology

    They’re economically essential. America simply can’t afford to continue acting the way it has for decades. The spending is now at a critical point where it’s become unsustainable.

    America’s debt interest is now more than they spend on defence. Which is obviously an insane amount.

    This isn’t just posturing because they hate the poor and hate Ukraine or something. They are trying to save the economy from something even more serious than 2008

    Without a doubt, he has blood on his hands, **** his America and all possible support for the dissenting voices.

    Actually, it makes sense to attract as many wealthy people as possible and incentivise businesses to be built. That would generate wealth and more taxes to help pay it back.

    Simultaneously cutting government spending.

    You know it’s serious now as Trump is willing to crash the stock market to save the bond market. (Bond markets are where the real action happens.) Previously he was focused on the stock market as a kind of ‘score card’ for success.

    They need to lower rates as much as possible so that when the debt rolls over, it’s at as low rate as possible.

    Economically the US and entire world economy is basically held together by some string atm. Hence why we are seeing americas new isolationism:

    For like your 10th post you’ve made the same joke about me being a child. It wasn’t funny the first time and it’s not funny now.
    But please, keep going.

    Not responding to someone whose arrogance is only exceeded by their ignorance.
