"Cut back on stupid spending"
"No amount of waste is acceptable"
"You are paying for THOUSANDS of buildings, across the country, that no one uses"

and Jobama was supposed to lead it -- well, we see how well jobama's veep took her ONE assigned task

deepfake?

I would have to question the authenticity of the clip, although it is certainly possible he could have said that. As I recall, at that time, just like now, it would not have mattered what the proposal was, the opposition party would have shot it down. This is the foundation of western politics, always oppose, deadlock whenever possible. For bureaucrats, preservation of the gravy train is paramount. For the elected officials, keeping the trough available and full, so they can plunge their snouts in deeply, is at the top of the list, everything else is just lip service. Bill

All politicians are just us, regular people and they do realize that we cannot spend more then we make but then comes the special interest groups/lobbyists and next election cycle and then reality becomes something else
I have no idea how to change it but I’m glad Trump has the balls to at least try and we all know that particular try will be tough so kudos to him in my book

So you give him credit for trying...bad things.

you still peeking at your ignore list, jimbo?

i am aware that initial posts are visible regardless (ohohoh, i should say irregardless just to be a jerk) - but commenting and "knowing" you can't see the reply is baying into the wind

Trying to make government fiscally responsible is a bad thing?
Trying to stave off invasion on southern border is a bad thing?
Trying to show other countries that tariffs are not just one way street is a bad thing?
I voted for Trump and I give him two years to show us what he can do then if Dems win House then we’ll have as usual lame duck, nothing new
