Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.
Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don't give a fuck about you.
You hate the Republican party so much you support government waste over accountability for our tax dollars. That's completely insane.
Any system large enough is going to have waste and fraud. That doesn't mean the system shouldn't exist, and it certainly doesn't mean that the system shouldn't be handed over to the largest wasters and fraudsters on the planet.
Are you talking about the ones that are actually reporting the waste and fraud, lmao.
I do agree that there is a huge opportunity for waste and fraud in a large system, that's why most have third party auditing.
Why hasn't DOGE cut spending on Tesla subsidies? Extremely wasteful to be spending billions on tax breaks for a company making nothing of use to the American public thats ethos runs exactly opposite to the "drill drill drill" principal of this administration?
Yeah. Why cut funding and staff for the IRS, which has like a 30/1 ROI? Why cut support for NASA which has ~10/1 ROI?
Because DOGE is a misnomer. It's purely a tool to implement project 2025 goals.
Lmao you think what’s happening now is going to increase accountability?
Explain how it hasn't.
No, because you are clearly arguing in bad faith
Our system
has/had accountability baked into it. Rather than rely on our separation of powers and independent inspectors general, you chuckle fucks, in your infinite lack of wisdom, decided to hand our government over to a Nazi billionaire with glaring conflicts of interest.Accountability? Puuuuuuhlease.
Nazi billionaire....you really drank the Kool aid didn't you.
Would you rather we continue to tax and spend? You sound extremely liberal, so I'll assume yes.
Nah, I'll save the Kool aid for you cultists. I believe what my eyes tell me.
I don't hate the republican party. But the current party isn't the republican party. I disagreed with the republican party, which is different. The current iteration has people in charge who have literally no understanding or don't actually care how the government works and what is needed. They aren't reducing "waste", they are just using that as an excuse to try and get rid of anything they don't like or don't agree with. The sooner you start to understand that the better. Because you don't have enough understanding of what's actually going on to have a legitimate discussion about it. It's like someone who doesn't understand algebra trying to have a discussion about calculus.
How old are you? 'Cause the Republican party has been outright fascists for decades now. You'd have to go really far back to find an iteration of the party which was in any way reasonable.
Early 30s. I've never agreed with the republican party, but it seemed to me that at one point they were at least trying to improve things, even if their ideas were stupid.
Way to sound stupid in under two sentences
You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.
I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don't like it, get out.
I don't hate anyone. You are free to be as angry as you like, no one cares.
Your ignorant speech and actions say otherwise. People do care, otherwise you wouldn't be responding, limp jackass.
Aww. Do you need a safe space to reflect?
🤣 I rest my case.
I'll take that as a yes.
Are consumer protections government waste?
They "are" for those people who are too stupid to understand that individual consumers don't have the time, expertise, access to inside information on company processes and their own labs so that they don't need to rely on regulators to make sure they're not buying and consuming dangerous shit, and can do it all by themselves as individuals.
The "too stupid to understand regulators are there to do what individuals don't have the time, expertise and power to do as individuals" neatly brings us around exactly to the point the OP was making.
(Mind you, sadly it's not just Trumpettes who fall into the "too stupid to understand the need of regulators" category)
