No he is adding to it.We now pay more on debt interest than defense.
Musk is again ahead of the curve.
You want to turn the space x contracts over to who?

You did read it wrong.I've read congress wants to raise pay from 174K to 234K. Thats a 60k raise. Maybe I read it wrong, who knows. But 6600 ain't 60k, and that is likely more that 4%.
The pork is the debt limit, pay raises. Nothing else of significance?
Going t be interesting in 26. When they lose the House. The ruling party always losses seats in midterms. Going to be really difficult to keep the House. No idea on Senate.
Nope.
Not a "majority".
The 40% you speak of is how much congress people would have got in raises from 2009 to now if there was not the block to cola raises. I know it can be hard to read and understand.
Several news agencies all state a 3.8% increase in congress pay. I think their 174,000 salary is enough but also they havent had a pay raise in 15 years. There is a whole lot of good things and some bad things in this bill.
But also there is a govt shutdown looming Saturday if it doesnt get passed.
We are broke? By we do you mean the country? Have you looked at the assets side of the ledger for the US. way more trillions of dollars in assets than our national debt. Do you know accounting or how to balance your home finances.
Look at the assets, extreme assets in mineral and oil and gas rights, land to sell, buildings to sell, roads and bridges to put tolls on and raise billions.
Tax the rich , the personal wealth in this country is about $165 trillion right now. Do a one time progressive tax to raise $18 trillion dollars and pay off half the debt in one fell swoop.
But we are not in drastic debt or broke.
My gawd look up the real facts. I just googled it and the pay raise is 3.8% . I dont think they really need a pay raise but that is not 40%
A little harsh on vice president Trump.The Fascist Republican Party is a mess. President Musk bought his way into power because feeble and weak-minded Trump is such a pushover. Trump, in his soiled Depends, doesn’t even realize he ceded his authority to Musk. I’m guessing that Trump thinks Musk is his pal, given the two-week long sleepover. Musk should not be making decisions for millions of Americans.
FalseThe D's love to spend money. But their mentality is always tax someone other than themselves.
Yes, the country is broke. I'm a CPA for 25+ years, just retired at 50 and also held securities licenses. I don't know any wealthy folks that deplete their assets with wasteful spending. They live off the return on those assets. When you deplete your assets you become leveraged and broke with a rockstar lifestyle. When tax revenues collected are servicing 30% of your budget for interest expense then you are not solvent. Also how many of those assets are liquid? You can't just easily sell them off.We are broke?

So how do you cut enough without touching the military?Yes, the country is broke. I'm a CPA for 25+ years, just retired at 50 and also held securities licenses.

I'm all for taxing more "that's part of the reason why I retired young tired of working free half the year" but they need to cut spending more than taxing. Way too much excessive waste. We are broke, you must not pay any taxes.
We make worthless leeches like yourself get to work.So how do you cut enough without touching the military?
Everything is on the table, military needs cut too or we become mobster boss's and you pay for protection. You can't police the world forever and at what cost. US always gets stuck with the tab.So how do you cut enough without touching the military?

Well there are things in the spending bill that do not need to be in there but it has to be passed soon in some form
He’s coming from a system where if you hit it big. All of the other failures are forgiven.To the best of my knowledge, they weren’t considered for the DOGE position. Again, Musk is a narcissist. He should not be anywhere close to being a decision maker for millions of Americans.
A bunch of tax cuts for billionaires.A bunch of pork and pay raises for politicians.
When will you people tire of this?
Agree spending needs cut more than taxes increased. The issue is still the Republican pledge to never raise taxes. Hard for the two sides to cut a deal. With absolutes on the table.Yes, the country is broke. I'm a CPA for 25+ years, just retired at 50 and also held securities licenses.

How do you feel about tax cuts? Cause if you are serious about the debt you cut spending and increase taxes.Ah yes...the same people that want to fund SS, universal healthcare, free college tuition, also support these kind of bills. You can't have them both! It is past time for the US to correct the course we are on. Shut it down and get serious about passing legitimate bills for spending. This isn't even getting into the debt issue that isn't going away unless we start changing our spending.
We’re broke? So Trump is broke? The Muskrat is broke? The govt operates on the exact same economic principle as the billionaire class.We are broke you idiot. Most people that are broke don't create a 1,500 page bill full of sh!t they don't need.
Debt 36 TrillionA bunch of tax cuts for billionaires.
When will we get wise?
Drain the swamp? LOL, you can't be this stupid. It is the swamp!!!! It's all unqualified billionaires.Yes, let's keep doing the same thing over and over again. We finally will have a team that will drain the swamp, put a stop to insane spending......40% pay raise for those ass wipes. We need more Elon Musks. The hate spewed by you leftists shows me that the Trump team is off to a good start. Make America Great Again!!
No they don’t. Billionaires take out low interest loans using their untaxed assets as collateral. The loans aren’t taxed. And as long as the interest rate is lower than the return on their assets, they make money. When they die, the assets are stepped up and can be sold with no capital gains ever being taxed. The estate pays off any outstanding loans and - bingo - windfall for the heirs.They live off the return on those assets.
Debt 36 Trillion
1% net worth 43 trillion
Mmmmmmmmmmm.
This is trueHe’s coming from a system where if you hit it big. All of the other failures are forgiven.
Government doesn’t work that way. Every failure can affect the life permanently of near 360 million. Mistakes by government for instance to deregulate certain financial instruments.
Helped lead to the Great Recession. Citizens losing their homes and the beginning of homeownership becoming rarer.
He is self-made. He knows more than you. He's much smarter than you. He works harder than you. He's worked harder every year than you've ever worked in a year. He makes the totality of you in probably less than an hour.Musk, I need to think of a good nickname for him, is just a piece of shit who thinks he knows what is good for U.S./us. He is acting like he is the prez. And it will be interesting to see how the dumpster/Elon dynamic plays out because the dumpster wants all the headlines since he is so self-absorbed.
It will also be interesting to see if somehow he is asked or told to divest is his businesses that have govt contracts if he wants a job in the admin.
