(7,729 posts)no matter what he says about cutting SNAP and healthcare for millions of people. He's still spending OUR money like well, like it's OURS... because he never spends his own money on anything! All these golf vacations he takes every weekend... our tax dollars pay for those -- for all the secret service around him, and all their room costs and even trump's golfing costs! Chances are, we pay for his meals, too... while he takes food out of our mouths.
And let's not even get started on the "building projects" we're going to pay for that we don't want. We don't have the money for food for the people, but damn! trump has to have a new building with his name on it someplace... and WE pick up the tab.
And then there's all these countries he's bombing and the war of choice he started in Iran, along with Bib. I don't see Bibi pumping money into humanitarian causes for the US... we only supply the money and bombs for Bibi, he owes us nothing. He seems to owe everything to trump and putin.
When you add up what he spends of OUR money on a daily basis, is it any wonder he had DOGE going in and cutting every bit of money from every department they could? He wasn't going to spend any of HIS money on this crap.
He's taking us into complete and utter Great Depression 2.0 -- and none of us are capable of handling it this time around. The number of people who could grow their own food is pretty damned slim. I'm one of them, and I've tried. Got a house surrounded completely by shades tree. Great for lowering the energy bill... not so damned great when seeds and plants need sunlight to thrive. And there are a hell of a lot more people worse off than I am. At least I'm still in my own, fully-owned house -- as long as I can keep making the tax payments... which, of course, are going up again along with the house insurance. Nope, folks... this man spends money like its water because it's not his, and no one is stopping him. We're well into national bankruptcy, IMO.
