Me telling you that there is no political will to shrink government is actually me being agnostic about the goal of small government. I'm gonna be fine either way. You pretending that some theatrics you observed shows a political will to shrink government tells me you haven't learned much by observing.
People confusing entitlements - something to which a payment was made in consideration for something else - with handouts.
Feel free to give me back all the payments made into the 'trust fund' and compensate at a market rate of return for said contribution.
Or be truthful about 'entitlements' as what they are - a government rip off for 40 years of labor when the capital could have been deployed more efficiently.
The Throbber is with @RaceBannon - cash me out back. Now.
I am simply accepting the reality that government will not shrink. And I'm not as easily taken in by highly publicized cuts to teeny tiny portions of the budget as you all are. I don't shriek about them either.
If you want to give the middle finger to the Boomers and slash Social Security, that would be brave and a real, meaningful cut. But beyond the upheaval that would yield, it would also turn the country Blue for decades and it ain't happenin'.
Team Dazzler is on the warpath because the republicans passed some limited welfare reform and are requiring healthy Americans to work, study or volunteer for 20 hours a week for their free shit. Also apoplectic because illegals are kicked off welfare even though we were assured by the liars that this wasn't happening. But trust him, he is a limited government democrat.
The Trump administration’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is drastically exaggerated, according to a new POLITICO analysis of public data and federal spending records.
Through July, DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual claimed contract savings that POLITICO could verify, DOGE’s savings over that period were closer to $1.4 billion.
Despite the administration’s claims, not a single one of those 1.4 billion dollars will lower the federal deficit unless Congress steps in. Instead, the money has been returned to agencies mandated by law to spend it.

Except you already admitted that you want more government...and that you got your way.
Then you cry about the budget and shriek at any cuts at the same time.
I agree the bar for success is low for trying to shrink government. You seem to not get that. Speed limits I guess.

Back on point
H applauded Obama going after the Ferguson police for the tragic death of the gentle giant astronaut
One could look at the 30 or so police departments that Obama sanctioned for being racist as the beginning of the collapse of law and order
Consider DC a course correction
Obama's taking the guns any day now.
I'm old enough to remember when "liberals" didn't defend racists.

Feel the seriousness!
Exactly. Even a mild reform had every dem in Congress voting against it and for welfare to illegals.
Like your antisemitism?

party of cutting waste and saving money has no problem blowing millions deploying troops to cities for pretend lawfare on its own citizens.
