From the article:

The administration estimates that the president's budget would reduce overall spending by $3.6 trillion over the next 10 years.

As hollow a set of words, as there will ever be .... Like I said, it did not lead to a reduction in spending.

What’s in President Trump’s Fiscal 2021 Budget? (Published 2020)

Steep cuts to domestic programs and more resources for the military and policing the border with Mexico.

The Trump Administration was as fiscally reckless as any, and that was with an economy which did not necessitate fiscal stimulus.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he voted Harris/Walz. He is a left-leaning libertarian. IDK if he goes so far as to vote D. It's beside the point. The point is we can't have a conversation because you go off the rails (twice in two posts) about **** you misunderstood about OP. Just stick to the point. The point is it was libertarian. Was it not?

If he's an L why doesn't he vote L? I thought that was the point of having a 3rd party?

Now do when he says that he left when his daughter was 2 and came back when she was 3. As well as feeling guilt for coming back when so many other did not.

Why? You’re clearly not bothered by the lies of people telling you these things and continue trusting them. Why bother dispelling more of them?

But if you insist: he was stationed in Italy for 9 months in 2003. One of his children was born in 2001. Do the math.

I dont have time or inclination to get too deep but a few pointers of the bigger Trump plan

1. Drill baby drill - lowering energy costs is the #1 thing that can be done to lower inflation - besides home bills, every product has to be delivered and manufacturing is especially contingent - Squashing the whole green scam and oil prices will drop as soon as he gets in as market begins to price his future moves.

2. Gutting regulations - insane number of regs in the fed register that add major layers of cost without real benefit except to lawyer and gov apparachics - you would probably get rid of 1/2 of them and nobody would even notice. Now that SCOTUS ruled on kicking it back to congress, expect a LOT of this. Business will rejoice over this more than tax reduction.

3. Build that wall and deport every illegal you can find - nah, that wont be reality but if they do start being very aggressive with deportations and e-verify penalties for employers, there will be a lot go home voluntarily and newcomers will go way down - this massively reduces burden/spending on fed, state and local govs to take care of them

4. Tarrifs - expect a lot of bluster here too but in the end, Trump will get less than he blusters but still way more than we get now - temp increase in COGS is not good for inflation but very good for American jobs and production.

5. Expect him to cut off spending to all the progressive pet projects and perhaps even eliminate some gov agencies saving some money - tho admittedly, he is likely to give some of that to GOP pet projects

6. No money for wars overseas - other countries need to pony up - enough said.

7. Corp tax reductions - oddly, when he did this before, treasury revenue was HIGHER than before because corps decide to book the taxes here instead of overseas. Bring the capital back to the USA in doing so, that helps us with trade deficits and thus less interest paid to foreigners and thus less inflation here at home.

8. Oh yes, no tax on tips - so great an idea Kamala is trying to copy it (though she would never follow through) Major boost to service workers and eliminates so many useless layers, all of which add cost so that the gov can get the money and hand it to someone else.


MASSIVE improvement over what Comrade Kamala is planning

Also eliminating social security getting taxed like what, three times? Our taxes are absolutely absurd, but blessedly not as much as many other countries that the Dems want to emulate, and that is my fear.. rarely do taxes get done away with or lowered once they are in place, much like entitlements.. my husband and I realized we pay as much in taxes yearly as many folks have as their annual income and that is wrong

"The admin estimates" oh ok. Trump estimated it would be zero by the time he left office. Tell me more about their estimations? If the Biden admin came out with a statement like that you would laugh them out of the room. This deserves the same.

Trump owns the single largest budget deficit over his entire term by dollar value and it isn’t even close. It’s twice Puddinhead’s. So anybody believing he will actually cut spending should have their head examined.

Lincoln owns the largest budget deficit by percentage by a huge margin. It was over 2000% I believe.

‘What Are You Talking About?’: CNN Panel Gets Heated As Guest Brings Up Walz’s Sexuality​


View attachment 666647

A CNN panel got weird Monday morning when David Frum, a staff writer for The Atlantic, brought up Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz’s sexuality.

CNN host Kasie Hunt started the conversation by mentioning Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance’s comments Sunday to CNN’s Dana Bash about Walz greeting his wife at a campaign event with a firm handshake instead of a hug or a kiss. Vance told Bash during the interview that Walz’s behavior was not normal.

People are indeed playing fast and loose with Walz’s service timeline and his comments and it isn’t helping their case. This was well after he left the military and was a sitting member of Congress. Right @CobbVol ?

If Stolen Valor is lying about your own military service, what’s it called when you lie to denigrate somebody else’s?

We might have a name for it by the end of this election cycle.

And it just seems so wasted when there are so many other legislative and policy decisions to attack him on. Like I said I think his comments and separation timeline are noteworthy especially when you include the on the record comments by his superiors. But outside if that it’s all a footnote in the whole story 🤷‍♂️

Walz is the Governor of Minnesota. If it was that important, why not make this case sooner? This is a partisan smear-campaign. It's swift-boating.

Hello, this issue has been raised in every election in Minnesota that he ever took part in. It’s not like this has never come out before.
As for it being “swift boating”, are the stories true or not true? That is ALL that matters. Are you accusing his former Commanding officer, his former Chaplin, and the CSM the Ho had to take his place of lying?
Did he or didn’t’t he say he had “carried weapons in war”?
Does his challenge coin contain an insignia of a false rank or does it not?
All that matter here are the facts, not the timing or the motivation

Trump first budget was 2017. From 2017-2019 it grew $465B o or 11.7%
Obama's last 3 years it grew $347B or 9.9%.

Outspent like crazy is not how I would describe those numbers.
