Seasoned politicians and bureaucrats are the very individuals who have led us into over 30 trillion in debt, do you really believe they can find a way to resolve it? If that's the case, you're merely assisting me in clarifying what I've consistently stated regarding the detrimental effects of progressivism.
Are you for real? Is this account some kind of bizarre A.I.?
Here is the way you take care of a lot of our financial problems as a country:
1. Force the Department of Defense to pass an audit.
2. Raise taxes on the wealthy.
3. Raise the cap on social security, so that the wealthy contribute more than they have.
4. Streamline government operations where it is can be responsibly done.
We are losing the youth vote to the Republican Party, and if we continue to oppose DOGE, we will never win another election. Young individuals aspire to save money, purchase a home, and invest in their future. They are weary of listening to how we old timers have burdened them with over 30 trillion in debt. They are indifferent to whether it's the Republicans or Democrats who resolve the debt crisis, their primary concern is simply that it gets resolved.
If we continue to oppose DOGE?
Dude, you are hilarious. Most of the country is not happy about DOGE, dude. That is what the polls are saying.
Young people cannot afford property for reasons that have nothing to do with the federal government. Wage stagnation is the fault of corporate greed, not the government. Cutting taxes has only a limited positive impact on the economy. We are way past stimulating the economy through tax cuts. You support bankrupting the country in the name of padding the already stuffed pockets of the wealthiest people in America.
That is NOT helping.
If young people believe it is helping, they are sorely mistaken.
I think one thing we have learned through all of this is that you can't fix stupid. I don't rejoice in that, believe me. But you really have to be dumb to buy the idea that Trump's massive tax cut and irresponsible slash and burn approach to cutting government spending will lead to financial benefits for young people. Really dumb.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
