Just published by the Republican congress is a Tax plan that lists 4
TRILLION dollars in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations Stop
kidding yourself... This is a coup. With the cuts to working class
benefits hitting those who voted in this government they know that
unless they completely run elections in two years there is no way they
stay in power.. So they have two years to destroy democracy as we know
it. Sovereign wealth fund? That's going to be where the SS money
goes... Yeah I have this flu and a very dark outlook right now...

Also, while I applaud any excising of fraud, waste, and abuse, a $65
billion savings or a $100 billion from tariffs barely move the needle
when we have budget shortfalls now measured in trillions. Every
little bit helps, but there will need to be some hard changes to avoid
a major financial crisis. The problem is Medicare and Social Security
by the way. Retiring baby boomers and lower birth rates post baby
boom have caught up with us. We can keep pretending that 3 billion
for emergency room service for illegal immigrants is the problem, and
while we fight about that the bus will keep driving towards the cliff.
We might actually have to raise taxes, increase SS withholdings, and
overhaul healthcare (in one way or another). We may also need to make
/legal/ immigration easier so we can get a workforce sufficient to
support our retirees. And most of those immigrants will come from
"shithole" countries because people aren't going to make an effort to
emigrate from a country where things are going well.
None of those are things people can get elected on, and none of them
are easy for our two parties to agree on the correct paths for so I
may just go full prepper and stockpile for the impending depression.

I love watching the mental gymnastics of the musk haters. Its like a
group of karens who drank the pituitary gold from a pile of shaved
incels, then smoked some shit ditch weed and started trying to do a
spoken word. If you could capture that level of retard, amplify it by
a magnitude of ten then filter it through a coconut coffee filter and
feed it to a retarded goat with a lisp. The shit that goat took would
be on par.
I sometimes say "self, lets go to twitter and see what they have to
say today" And oh boy, do the soys not let me down, ever.

Elon Musk is a terrible president, besides the fact that no one
voted for
him in any venue. Almost as bad as vice president Trump.
and we were not considering the Nazi salute so much as his
elevation of the
AfD in Germany. The Germans have every right to be scared of
Neo-naziism.
