So……if trillions in fraud and waste are eliminated. And the value of the dollar increases instead of decreases over the next few terms…..and the financial requirements to run the system are significantly decreased…..then who is on the receiving end of the benefit?

I’m guessing it’s the people who pay in to run the system.
What do we call those people again?

I asked a specific question that maybe you need to think about or go back and reread it. What you saying is absolutely true in a general sense. My point is we should look at all government spending and eliminate unnecessary waste. It will take some time. Unnecessary expenditures are just as important to eliminate in every branch of our government. Especially, and freaking specifically, when the Chief Executive is profiting from those unnecessary expenditures

My 99 f250 work truck has 650k miles on it. It runs like a champ without any major overhauls. Not long ago I figured out that it’s cost me 2k a year (roughly 53k total) to maintain and own in its lifetime. (Not including fuel) if we add in fuel it’s still going to way cheaper than any electric vehicle ever.

If cost over the long term is the concern then keeping a vehicle properly maintained and keeping it forever is the answer. (That doesn’t work with an electric vehicle)

New model 3: $42,000 - $7,500 tax credit = $34,500. Savings of $2,000/yr in gas plus maintenance savings....

And the base model is faster than 90%+ cars on the road. The performance trim at 55k-7.5k, you are at supercar speed.

@Orangeslice13 edit: i know you are talking about trucks. And I don't think Cyber is even close to a reasonable competitor, yet. But it will be.

"Large Scale Social Deception"

Sounds great.

BTW, all these contracts are now online at the above website for those skeptical and less busy than I am right now.

I'd like to see Trumps response

Thomson Reuters (TRI.TO), opens new tab said on Thursday its business with the U.S. Department of Defense was "inaccurately represented," in response to accusations on social media by Elon Musk and President Donald Trump that the company played a role in "large scale social deception" for the government.
The contract, opens new tab in question was a four-year, $9 million award, beginning in 2018 during Trump's first term and ending in 2022, between the U.S. Department of Defense and a division of the Toronto-based content and technology company called Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS). The contract was intended to protect the U.S. government from social engineering, which is a form of cyber threat in which people are tricked into divulging sensitive information.



Spokesperson Tabatha Thompson of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, opens new tab, the research and development arm of the U.S. military, which funded the contract, said, "Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS) was competitively selected to serve as the evaluator to test the defensive tools. ... They (Thomson Reuters) assessed the effectiveness of our defensive tools."

I'm betting this is another condoms to Gaza

I guess I don't it. You ignored that taxpayers would benefit from the reduction is government waste and made it about Marilago.

Sounds pretty "Muh Trump" to me.

Help me understand your point.

No. I didn't insinuate that at all. I asked about a specific audit of expenditures in the executive branch. If we're going to do a thorough audit of expenditures, it should be conducted on all branches of government. Right? And no, taxpayers aren't profiting from executive expenditures. Think how we, as taxpayers, will benefit from eliminating unnecessary expenditures in all the branches

You said countless evidence has been presented, and pivoted in zero seconds to "they've promised it." I assume you realized you were wrong so own it like an adult instead of playing childish games yourself. Plenty of energy for argument when posting the "countless evidence" would have been much faster

That doesn’t work with any vehicle nowadays. Today’s automobiles are essentially “throw away” cars regardless of how well you maintain them. The way many new vehicles have to be financed they’re pretty much done in by the time you get it paid off.

Maybe you should have spent 2-3 mins looking at this contract approved by the Trump administration instead of taking Musk's statement at face value...

One of these two is true with the TR agreement

1. The Trump led DOD entered into and approved "Large Scale Social Deception" contract with TR and now they want $100B more for defense with the next budget

or

2. The Trump admin had no clue what they entered into and they want 100B more for defense next budget

HHS Squandered More than $22 Billion on Migrants' Vehicles, Home Loans

HHS reportedly increased grants for migrants from 2020 to 2024, spending more than $22 billion in taxpayer dollars
www.breitbart.com www.breitbart.com

Non-government organizations swindled up to $1.7 billion from U.S. taxpayers for services “including dollar-for-dollar matching savings plans for cars, homes, college educations or startups; small-business loans of up to $15,000; loans to repair credit history of up to $1,500; ‘cultural orientation,’ ’emergency housing support,’ legal assistance, and Medicaid care,” New York Post reported.

But most of the funding went toward unaccompanied migrant children — committing $12.4 billion over five years — despite whistleblowers sounding the alarm and calling out ORR for handing over many of nearly 300,000 children in its care to unvetted and sometimes even abusive sponsors.
