The waste fraud and abuse are coming from inside the house.
And the senate, and the White House, and mar a lago
I'm not sure you're getting the reference.
They could have been thinking of the House part of Congress, since they only listed the Senate.
“The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars — no state should allow it either,”
Excuse me? If anything, the 2024 election made it crystal clear that the American people will, in fact, tolerate the blatant waste, fraud, and abuse of our hard-earned tax dollars. 77 million people actually voted for it.
they even published a fucking playbook called project 2025.
dumbfucks
But they super promised they never even heard of it or was going to use it. Then installed its writers in key positions. Purely by happenstance.
One of the things I hated so much about the 2024 election was all the fucking gaslighting about it, too. There were plenty saying "isn't that just a liberal conspiracy theory" and bullshit about "blue maga" (lol, whatever) and lots of the corporate media doing that sort of collective shrug about a documented plan.
Trump and the Republicans want to kill poor people.
& they are succeeding, worldwide
And you know what happens? This makes the next group of people, i.e. middle class, the next poors! Guess what they want to do to the new poors?
Waste and fraud… If only someone hadn’t started a war with Iran and then paid them $300B three months later to end it, gaining precisely nothing…
And spent 14 million painting a pool blue?
And renaming the color green to blue
How do empires die?
Gradually then suddenly.
The US is in the latter stage.
This stunt actually has nothing to do with "fraud" in government spending, but as someone with experience in government procurement, contracting is where the waste is. The government actually doesn't do too badly when we keep the work in-house. It's these multimillion dollar contracts to some private company that are where the waste, fraud, and abuse are. Go fucking audit SpaceX. Revisit those contracts. Bet we can save billions every year on just one companies stupid fucking defense contracts. Then go after the rest of these contractors. Threaten to bring the work back in house and see how they react. Follow through and actually bring the work back in house, build the public sector engineering and manufacturing expertise, and see where we are.
But by now, everyone either knows or refuses to acknowledge that the President is a notorious pedophile.
A sudden spike in unemployment followed by waves of debt default, foreclosure, and police actions on the unemployed would seem to be the more pressing issue.
This just feels like the Iran "Today's bombing a girl's school distracts from who the President was fucking in 1997" Epstein War bullshit.
They want you so desperate to cling to employment that you will no longer care about working conditions or fair wages or be willing to endanger said employment by being politically active.
Yeah...
But they're idiots.
There's not enough jobs to go around, people won't quietly starve. And the only people with anything to steal from are the wealthy.
They just created a shit ton of people with literally nothing to lose.
What he wants:
What he (hopefully) gets:
Seriously, why aren't billionaire villas burning? Why is Mar-a-Lagos still standing? I'm surprised how much the American people are willing to endure.
It’s like they are testing limits. They keep doing crazier shit week after week then say well no one is doing anything about it so let’s keep going.
"Lets do something fast and stupid so they stop talking about me starting and losing a war."
This is next distraction away from his complete failure in Iran and his green, moldy swimming pool. He's giving $300 billion to Iran in his total surrender, what's the total amount of assistance to be withheld in funding here?
president’s nationwide campaign against “fraud” in government spending.
Projection much, huh?
Also privilege, Republicans see themselves as privileged, it's not fraud when they do it, they are allowed, it's fraud when others without sufficient privilege do it.
Good do it. Let the states that still have a sense of sanity group up and implement a multistate unemployment assistance strategy. Seriously, perhaps its time blue states encourage the disempowerment of the federal government and transfer those programs to mutually aligned state initiatives. Leave out all the welfare red states and redirect that transfer of wealth from blue states to red states, back to their own ppl. Americas system of statehood and states rights is something dems should probably start proposing making more use of. If feds under Trump don't want social programs then build multistate programs that serve that function, leaving out the Maga central states altogether.
the "fraud" starts and ends at the oval office. investigate that s.o.b. first.
Thats not true. My state governor is also a criminal and is grifting on a state level too...
Have to imagine this will disproportionately hurt red states and then they'll blame it on Obama or Biden or something. Really hoping some state will withhold federal taxes but I know our leaders are too spineless for that :[
California funds its own unemployment benefits, of course Trump is too stupid to know this.
pls no, this would make the crime rate skyrocket
That's what the federal cabal wants.
Are we at the beheading part of history yet?
He just had dinner at Versailles, home of Marie Antoinette.
He's had numerous "Let them eat cake moments," most recently his "I love the Inflation" moment, and sooner or later he's going to cross the wrong line when the timing is right, and he'll meet the same fate.
He's gotta do something to pay Iran 300b.
The new distraction from the Epstein files is here!
I don’t know why this is a surprise to anyone. Trump is famous for not paying contractors and workers. He waits it out until they sue and his expensive lawyers beep the plaintiffs dry or settle for some fraction of the contract price.
So Trump is tanking the economy and burning through cash so bad he has to take money from people without jobs.
Check me if I’m wrong but the only thing he can cut is the administration funding. The actual benefits are funded by a type of insurance companies pay into. Trump can’t take that away.
All this will do is make processing claims a bitch.
He’s such a dick.
Jokes on them, it's basically impossible to get unemployment here to start with.
WTAF? We all pay into this shit.
An actual traitor president and it looks like we're just gonna ride it out with our fingers crossed.
