The Federal Government should be able to operate on $2 trillion per year

[ColonelAngus]

The record spending by the Fed and the record high taxes being collected is not a good thing.

The fed is a bloated beast, like Harvey Weinstein.

Drop spending by $2 trillion and taxes by a trillion.

Congress won’t ever do it, because they love spending our money.

I mean, who doesn’t love spending other people’s money?

 

[rightwinger]

What gets excluded to reach $2 trillion?

 

[Mr Natural]

They all want to live in the best country but none of them want to pay for it.

 

[Auld Phart]

What gets excluded to reach $2 trillion?

democrats and republicans paychecks

 

[ColonelAngus]

They all want to live in the best country but none of them want to pay for it.

This is an interesting perspective, and totally true.

Congress is a serious gravy train. The more money they control, the more power they have.

They are the ruling class, they are not a government of the people.

Anyone who hasn’t clearly seen that over the past 2 years is really stupid.

What gets excluded to reach $2 trillion?

Everything not mandated to federal authority by the Constitution.

So that $2T is just an arbitrary number you pulled out of your ass.

Yeah. Except everyone’s defines that authority differently .

Take the military and it’s obcene budget . Is having bases all over the world really “defending “ the country ?

 

[jillian]

Everything except the military.

Show how stupid the premise is

 

[The Derp]

Everything not mandated to federal authority by the Constitution.

Which is according to your bullshit interpretation of the Constitution, not according to some kind of standard that was previously established.

It’s our fault . Who is gonna vote for “Hey, economy is good . Time to tighten our belts “.?

No one . Instead we get “tax breaks all over ! Let’s spend more on the military !”

The courts are often in error, or malevolent. Hence our current situation.

Here it is. It's in English. No interpretation necessary, except in cases of nefarious intent.

Which is exactly why we elected President Trump. And he is doing everything in his power to reduce government spending in spite of obstructions by the RINOs and DemocRATs.

So, linking to the Constitution doesn't make your wild standard true. All it does is prove you know how to post links.

OK....where do the budget cuts come from?

Hint: Start with the largest slice of pie

The primary purpose of the federal government is TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES FROM ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. Everything else is secondary.

The military must be able to do its job.
